'kin flyin. 
Wembley Sunday 26 Feb 23.
Better than ā ā ā . 
(Take no notice of me,.wife tucked up in bed, Iām still in bar on my 9th pint in celebration. 
)
Well I must say my good old earn money is on The Toon to win, 
, Howay The Lads and bring some long waited Silver back to St James Park, So all and sundrie can gan oot on this ā ā ā ā , .
Lawrence Dunbar:
Well I must say my good old earn money is on The Toon to win,
Weāve got 2 half decent strikers Lawrence, but both very prone to injury. 
I know we did right palming Chris Wood off to Nottm Forest, but why tf did we not replace him with some experienced and relatively cheap back up for the squad.
2 names off the top of my head Welbeck? even Sturridge? .
Both experienced players who would fit the bill ā¦even another attacking midfielder, Maddison from Leics was mentioned for instance.
How many more games for Wilson and Isaak to stay injury free to just keep in the top 4, let alone for the Carabo final.
Where is that young Aussie boy who played in the World Cup we got btw?
Thatās my main concern now all the excitement has died down anyhoo. 
But Iām with you on what you say.
Had to bump up this threadā¦first cup final since 19 ā ā ā ā 99. 
Last week I was confident, mixed feelings today, with the Pope thingā¦wtf was he thinking.
Bad enough if we loseā¦but to Man U ā ā ā ā nited. 
Got Karius in goals, donāt know much about him except that he is famous for making an epic ā ā ā ā up playing for Liverpool in the Champions League, so who knows.
Dubravka stands to get a winners medal who ever wins as he had a game for that lot 
ā¦hope he chucks it in crowd if we lose. 
A Geordie lad on the radio whoās baby girl is due today says if he has a good game heās calling her Karius.
Also Ten Haag has got those lot sorted out since Ronaldo went,.and Rashford is on fire.
Still,.at least all the Man U āāhome fansāā wonāt have far to travel from where they are fromā¦Essex,.Kent,.Home Counties etcā¦not many Mancs I reck. . 
Wilson and or Issak need to find their shooting boots today, and weāve got Bruno back.
(Pleased we got shut of Wood btw.)
Sod it weāll win 3 2.
Got seat booked in front of big screen, looking forward to it.
Howay the Ladsā¦as Lawrence says .
yep, iām a toon fan today hope ye do emā¦ but ypuāve gotta contain rashford, do that and you gotta good chanceā¦
m.a.n rules:

I canāt believe how their manager has brought him round,ā¦(a bit like Eddie with Joelinton and Almiron.)
He was fighting for first team a short while ago,.AND his England place, in fact I even thought that we would maybe end up buying him at that time.
Aye I reck weāll do ok, weāre deffo up for it anyhoo.
Not a Manc in sightā¦even one with a Cockney accent.
Karius was knocked out in champions league final ( no concussion rules back then ) so continued playing 1 thing he does have is experience of big games
Think it will be a close game depends who is marking Rashford & can they contain him but then we did draw 0-0 at Old Trafford just hope it is a good game & the right United win but I will be avoiding toon on Tuesday 
Hope we come away with no injuries as we could do without that but think we need to off load some of the players & bring in some better players to replace
Totally gutted ā¦but the constant flowing beer and good company softened the blows. ā¦Christ I even shook hands with a Man U fan after the game.
So much for my 3 2 eh? : ā¦least I didnāt have a bet on.
Looking on the positive side (being the eternal optimist )
Weāre top 5 in the Prem league,.weāve just played in a final, weāve got losdsamoney,.and we aināt fighting relegation anymore under Mike ā ā ā ā Ashleyā¦Weāre on the up,whatās not to like.
Well I hope you donāt go back to wembley soon rob , you nigh on cleared out greggs wetherby yesterday , is there really any need for carrier bags of cakes / sausage rolls / sausage / bacon , omelette rolls etc for a 3 / 4 hr journey from wetherby - wembley , itās not as though 99% of your fan base looked like they needed a good meal inside of them , I was just waiting for one to ask if the coffees were free !!
dozy:

Were these the culprits Dozy. 
It looks like the fat lady has already started singing, about Lionel Messi selling the pies.
Big day today if you are a Toon fan.
If we win Leicester we are back to being a Champions League club ā¦first time for 20 years.
My last game, gonna miss the Chelsea game next Sunday, gave the wife a good thrashing (not really btw ) for not checking the game schedules before she booked a flight outā¦thought I had her better trained than that. )
Bus ride into town, meal with the wife,.then seat in front of the big screen in Spoons.
I love these long weekends off away from the job. ā¦highly recommend it.
Think we only need a draw from next 2 games
