Is it just me or does today feel like something really special. Its like a Cup Final day, and we are playing. Half expecting to turn on the telly and see the footage of the team bus arriving at Craven Cottage, with thousands of mad geordies singing the Rafa song. I`m quite excited...
Is the game not for 6 more hours? I'm over here thinking ko is at 945. Just signed up for being TV. We're on their schedule alot. Plus I can dvr the games. Looks like a decent deal for 7 a month.
Game starts 7.45pm in this country. Not sure how that translates to you bearing in mind British Summer time.
I think Rafa will pick this team tonight: please log in to view this image Possibly Dummett in for Gamez.
Hayden needs to play. He was amazing against Arnheim and I suspect they are tougher opposition than Fulham!
It is this team except for Dummett at LB and Hanley at CB instead of Mbemba (on bench - possibly still recovering from knock).
Have gone for bets on Newcastle ahead at HT&FT, a 3-1 Newcastle win, and Ayoze first goalscorer. Hope this doesn't go pear shaped tonight.
Relegated BUT Rafa stayed Deadwood Players cut n burnt Club philosophy and culture ... RafaStomped Last Championship was good fun / Great finishing position Rafa has taken over and begun to revive the near dead corpse of the club A new season...35 minutes to go before season KO, favorites to be champs ..Feeling great, optimistic and all is right and good in the world ... What can go possibly wrong?? Oh yeah....this is NUFC HTL
Beers are cold cooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn tooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Its OK Valley....You don't have to pretend you are only here for Jonjo ...let your true toon nature come out of the swansea closet #Secrettoonfans(Welsh-wing)
Hopefully make it to that one myself..not too far away (As Swansea aren't in the right league this year)
Steve McLaren being at pitchside is making me feel quite uneasy. His aura of a being total loser could permeate to the players. Was hilarious to hear him say Rafa clearing out the deadwood was what we needed. Err, but it didn't occur to you last season Steve? No, you thought it was a good idea to give the deadwood new contracts.
