Southampton were unlucky in the home leg, and probably could have gotten something from it, but I agree, at St James, they will probably get twonked
Yeah that's the flaw in my plan for sure If we can beat City 2-0 though we can win 1-0 up there if they do have any complacency. Prowsey free kick on 82 mins and then win on pens Really I'm just trying to convince myself it's worth the 650 mile round trip lol. It's the hope that kills you and we've got nothing to lose at least. I'd be more nervous about it had we won 1-0 bizarrely.
Winning the first one is the hardest. Once you win once then it’s easier. This is why Spurs keep failing in big games.
I'll certainly be cheering Southampton on in the 2nd leg. Looking at it objectively as a neutral of course.
Pope not conceded in 10 games, unbeaten at home since almost a year ago (one game), lost one league match all season. But there's only 1 goal. I can see us going all out in the first 20 minutes to try and put the tie to bed. If you get through that, or score, then the nerves will gradually seep through. My guess is 0-0 and everyone being stressed afterwards.
The one that comes to mind in the good old days was the back page headline in the Sun after we did the double over Aston Villa and helped get them relegated to the old Third Division Aston Vanilla the team everybody loves to lick As for Newcastle it was "who", is that the place near Sunderland where they brew Newcastle Brown Ale
Fair enough. I don't I'd be expecting much general knowledge from people who had to clarify where Newcastle Brown Ale came from anyway.
It was a joke FFS Do all Newcastle supporters need breathing equipment now so they dont suffocate as their heads are so far up their own backsides
Forest are done ... you've still got every chance... if you should score first, the weight of expectation on Newcastle could really get into their players heads ...
I'm hoping you crumble in the atmosphere tbh, it will be electric. I don't think anyone is celebrating like we are through, just glad to win 1-0 instead of lose 1-0. Still in the balance.
Dyche is the safe option short term. The football won’t be attractive but you would expect him to make them harder to score against and more organised. Long term I don’t see how he makes them anything more than a mid table side though and the style of football won’t be progressive or exciting
