I did say “top team”

Hahaha...... not needed in an area that is TOTAL football from the grass-roots up. Tis how, as a 10-year-old in 1957, I finished up in a 100,000 crowd at Wembley for a "None-league" Amateur Cup Final....... top teams?? give us a break.

I think I recall that Sunderland fans have previously done the same? ( Admittedly there does seem to be a north- east theme here ...)

Yes Sunderland did it too.

Not seen any replays of the first goal but was it a free kick in the first place ?

And how the hell has Coote managed to get to the level of being a cup final ref

Casemiro is unreal.

Signing of the season?

And how the hell has Karius managed to get to the level of being a cup final 'keeper?

And yes, it was a free kick.

But I thought he only came for the payday?

Yes

Yeah,UTD are a different team with him.
Obviously Haaland is in the discussion,but he was a no brainer.

And yes, it was a free kick.

Karius certainly went down very early.

Karius sorry not sure the relevance

and watching it again it seems a shoulder to shoulder and soft free kick.

I thought he was superb in his last final

Nope. Kene saying Rashford played it well. In other words, he dived and won a free kick. If an opposition player does the same he’d be calling it a dive.

Yes he did .

Indeed. If it was a soft free kick, then Man Utd have been unlucky. Because Newcastle have been awarded free kicks for similar

Quite. Early in that first half Newcastle got free kicks for less.

To be honest, we have also recently been getting 2 or 3 pages when Forest do well. Strangely, it has been quiet this weekend

what you on about? I replied saying how terrible we were once the 70 minute mark ticked by.

Embarrassing defending for all 4 goals. No wonder Cooper was livid after the game.

We’re a Sunday league side away from home.
But it’s classic Forest; hold the champions, and arguably best team in the world to a draw with a defensive masterclass…only to lose to a team who have scored about 3 goals since Christmas and gift them 4 goals. According to our fanbase on Twitter, it’s #CooperOut

Hopefully we can continue our home form against Everton on Sunday.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Do Newcastle know they are allowed to shoot?

I appreciate Potter's job has not been simple, with loads of players coming in for big money. But, would it not be time for him to just try and pick a pretty consistent side, and see if that would help. I heard he has made over 70 changes to starting line up in 18 games. Not sure how you can expect the players to adapt to his style with so many changes.

This is our problem as well to a point (minus the ridiculously expensive players). But it’s difficult to play a consistent starting XI when you’re getting an injury or two every effing game. It’s a miracle we’re still playing as well as we are at home. Based on yesterday, we need to protect Jonjo Shelvey at all costs; anchors the midfield and keeps everything in order.
