Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

[Saint Domingo]

Spurs will roll over and get their belly tickled again and Newcastle will do the same at Wembley

Is the right answer, as if anyone apart from the RS will end up actually lifting the trophy. Awaits injuries to Isak Guimaraes Tonali and Gordon before the final.

 

[Neiler]

Some of these are cool.

Liverpool v Newcastle is a nightmare final really.

Not if Richy plays

That's an odd thing to say, they were in the 2023 final and now this year.

Our last one was in 1984.

But we were in the proper one in 95 and won it

Crowd fund him Isak instead. All your troubles done with. Maybe get him a John Hartson, Niall Quinn type for the bench to throw on last 20 minutes, give Isak a rest. There has to be a big barrel of bar-stud out there looking to knock a few about. You've to much fancy-dan and not enough fight at your place.

Isak is that rare player, good enough to be a moody little bish and then turn it on when it counts to back it up.

No point doling out the cash on every other position when the top position is being scrimped on. This is where Ferguson was ruthless, he knew he had a window where his first team was the best and supplemented them where he could. 90% of a solution isn't an answer.

Yeah I was there. So? Wouldn't you like another cup final, any? Bizarre comments.

Arsenal needs us to help them; I want us to bully them, create an atmosphere that scares them.

We can do this people.

Yup. We did it last season

 

[barneygumble]

I'll say it now, and I'll say it again if asked.

I'd rather Liverpool win the final than Newcastle.

Nothing more loathsome than the media love in with Newcastle, and the faux narrative that they have the best fans in the Werrrlllld.

At least winning the final will mean 0 to Liverpool, and they've lifted it about 7 times in my lifetime anyway.

I do have to laugh at this current fad with Premier League footballers, they all seem to want to stay “humble “ while they are driving away from their respective clubs in top of the range BMWs and Mercedes etc, wearing designer clothes and heading to their mansions worth millions. I have no objections to top line footballers enjoying the fruits of their success, I don’t care how they spend their money but don’t pretend to be humble while being anything other than humble.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Headline on a BBC article on their football website today:

'Howe's Newcastle can assume legendary status forever'​

What? What deluded lunatic wrote that? A muppet named Phil McNulty...

Also for me i wont be cheering them on but would rather them win it than Newcastle.

All cups that aren't "proper" mean nothing and we shouldn't compete for them or celebrate them if we win them.

No idea what makes a cup proper, I just want to see us win things, but apparently I'm wrong for that.

Steady on Phil, they only beat Arsenal.

I’m old enough to remember the devaluation of this competition by Ferguson and Wenger. They both openly mocked it in favour of the champions league games, it’s very slowly returning to get love but it seems some fans are also devaluing it.

A day out in the sunshine to Wembley seems so far away from us, where as the tricky reds get one most years. I know what I’d rather have.
