[LangleyBlue1970]

Hope Toon get the rags and fuck them off.

 

[dadnlad]

bloody hell newcastle are in the final

 

[Sky Blue]

I loved winning this cup...1976 final fking incredible

Huge trophy back then. Nowadays not so much and bigger fish to fry. I was there in 76 btw.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Joelinton is one of the shittest and scummiest players in the Orem. He needs someone to give him a taste of what he dishes out. Dinho would have sorted him

lipton is a class A ****

 

[urban genie]

would have loved to win it but 2 wembley visits in May and june will make up for it

 

[Heath Park]

Hopefully an Arsenal v Liverpool final (extra time + pens) so they are dragged through all the games.

Good news for our PL title defense, albeit with refereeing like that it might be more challenging than it should be!

 

[wattle]

Impossible to win the quadruple , and we have gone out of the least important one , would have taken a slender defeat before the game and we got it , we move on to bigger challenges.We need to get our squad full fit over the next few weeks and stay at the top of the league and qualiify in the Champs league and that has to be our target for the New Year and we can kick-on and engage overdrive and mop up more trophies next year.

Super Cup, World Club Cup, Prem and Champs League. Now that would be a quadruple!!!

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

What bollocks. We were weak as piss all night. Newcastle wanted it more

Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t, but what did you expect with no natural leader on the pitch ? When I say that I mean a Reuben Dias etc, we weren’t going to cut up rough with that line up, it was full of kids, just because Joelinton went round kicking kids & getting away with it doesn’t mean we were weak as piss either, give your fuckin head a wobble your supposed to be a blue ya sausage

 

[cleavers]

so you missed him giving the ball away then?

No, but plenty of others did in the second half, Philipps far too slow for their goal, wating for the ball.

As for Gomez, not many players are expected to play right wing in one half, and then left back in the other.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Not bad first half, really bad second half.

Nobody seemed arsed second half until Foden Nunes and Doku came on. I know we will be in Saudi Arabia come Quarter Final time but even so, nearly 5,000 took an afternoon/day off work to travel up there so would have been nice to have given it a proper go.

Will be forgotten about by fans and players the time we play Wolves though.

I’m sure they were all well pissed up though

 

[Taylor’s Nod Down]

Good to get an hour in Kovacic’s legs and give Bobb more experience, although he faded with many others second half. He looks sharp and incisive. Interesting reflection - kovacic with Bobb stepping in for Palmer and 15m in the bank. Unless he played tonight, he still hasn’t played for Chelsea. No grudge with Palmer but the signs are that we’ve got the better of those deals.

Edit - apparently Palmer ‘shone’ for Chelsea tonight. Fair play to him and hope he does well. But I’ll stick with what I’ve seen and the opinion above

 

[Stoned Rose]

Didn’t see enough from Phillips! He made 112 passes and had a very respectable 91% pass completion.

Yeah but about 105 of them were 3 yarders mate.

In his position, the passing is only one bit of it. He also needs to move after each pass to provide an option. He doesn’t. He passes it then just stands there. He doesn’t “show”. He doesn’t have enough of a football brain to play in this side.

I can absolutely guarantee you that performance will have completely done Pep’s nut in and the only time we’ll ever see him again is in an emergency situation.

 

[Metal Biker]

The past 8 years have been for nothing... NOTHING!

The team today SHAMED this club and any "achievements" it may have attained.
Forget Silva, forget Kompany, forget Aguero. The heroics of Gundogan, the tenacity of Rodri, the genius of Pep. ALL of it, undone in one night, this night, our Waterloo.

Woe betide us! Woe betide Manchester City, the sham club, the fake club, undone by the might of the new heralded champions to see us into the Newcastle Age!

I renounce my faith! I renounce this club! The fans and their misguided optimism are but fools, dancing in the glories of past endeavours! You are blind and cannot see! Tonight has spelled DOOM and on it's brow are written the fortunes of Manchester so called City so called Football Club!!!



Or, our second string didn't play well in the second half and we still have the rest of the season, and a Club World Cup Championship, to look forward to.

 

[dickie davies]

Jack's performance was poor.
Can only think it was a fitness issue.

Nope. That’s what he does. Brings the ball under control, stands the defender up and then starts walking, allowing the opposition to recover their defensive positions.
He’s a very down market Mahrez

Rico Lewis made an error letting the ball run for their goal, but the attacker anticipated a chance
Compare that to the cross in the first half where Grealish stood and watched. That’s not down to fitness because he does that all the time. He has no instinct to score

I’m not blaming this result on Grealish because as a team in that second half we were bullied, but as a senior player, he has to show leadership

 

[Tolmie scores]

Alvarez needs to improve his first touch LMFAO.

He took two touches for his goal against Forest that were so quick the slow-mo looked full speed.

Come on mate.

No i love Alvarez attitude but def 2nd touch is a tackle type, rare bit of sublime as you mentioned but that ball bounces off him like a brick wall

 

[TheBlueCat]

It wasn’t shite. We lost. Bigger fish to fry. Stop moaning.

It was still shite. (not a moan, just the truth)

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

I have no idea what this means. Thanks though

Last thing they won in 1969.

 

[Sibierskii]

Commentary was laughable, took them until the second minute to mention the cost of the line up. Meh whos arsed anyway? will all be forgotten about this time tomorrow.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

I remember where I was when I heard that Elvis had died.
I also remember the night when Princess 'The Queen of Hearts' died and now I will be able to tell my grand child that I can remember exactly what I was doing the night of that famous Newcastle victory of Manchester City.

Sure they said it's a historic night for Newcastle at one point. Will it be on DVD?

 

[Chi-town blues]

Breaking : newcastle just won the universe intergalactic cup final.
