[perseus]

Buckley wasn't really shooting. He was trying to pass to Smith!

I'm surprised people are complaining about ESPN, Barnes in particular was full of praise for the club

Mainly referring to Waddle's twaddle.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

That Geordie fan in the jester suit, he and some pals were drinking in the North Stand concourse after the game and seemed good sports.

Yeah, apart from the lot at East Croydon on the way back - the few I spoke to on the way down were great, as well as a few on the train back.

Few mumbles about the queues and service in the away end (genuine) and I explained it was work in progress and we were all suffering to a lesser or great degree on that front.

Well 20 MK Seagulls gathered in a sports bar in Milton Keynes and there were about 3 Newcastle fans present, they were fine. Good sports

I hope he brought a change of clothes for the long journey home!

The Guardian says:

They could be right. The Newcastle team seems right, but Ben Arfa is left-sided? And with Brighton having a particualrly strong left midfield/wingers in Vicente, Kazenga, Noone, and Jake, the idea of putting Buckley on the left side is just what could happen?

I think I would play the Guardian team with El Abd instead of Hall, but with Noone, Vicente, Kazenga, Hall, Harley (reserve set pieces), Vincelot and one other on the bench: probably Agdestein.

Pardew is a 4-4-2 addict and after the 4-3-3 experiment at Fulham went awry in the second half ...

PS: I would put Buckley on the right. We do not want Santon coming forward. He will give Calderon too much trouble.

I like the idea of Greer at left back. Poke is included in the subs bench so that puts their choice into perspective.

Is Haris Vučkić injured?

The Guardian got it almost right,

 

[jameswestport]

Yeah been about as effective a you are being in supporting "you're" team.

im only saying. i know you'll probably say well dont but what can i do eh?

 

[OzMike]

Just back from the game!................well from watching it with other supporters at a house in Northbridge, that's central Perth for your info.
Absolutely brilliant, probably get Liverpool in the draw though!

From the Telegraph report : " A new generation, a new home and a new hero later, the road to Wembley is once again painted in black and white stripes. " REALLY !

That's what I thought when I saw the highlights. From the angles they showed, it looks as though CMS would have had a simple tap-in if the defender hadn't got his toe to it.

This is what it looked like from my angle in the ground, though:

Looks like th defender would have intercepted the pass (the one that wasn't williamson).

 

[Brovion]

The thing that has made the result absolutely perfect is reading the comments from the Palace fans on this thread. Priceless! You can almost taste the bitterness and jealousy. Great days. Now roll on Tuesday.

Now, if, God forbid, Brev and Anks get injured in the same game: who would be our keeper?
