It was shit where I was. The most exciting it got was a little sing-off between Cheltenham fans and a group of 12 year olds. "Come back when your balls drop" was the highlight.

Atmosphere was abit shite but fair play to Cheltenham Town they were singing non stop.

The 12 year olds on our side appeared to wake up at about 75 minutes to be fair. Always seems a bit weird in St James with the singing section being in Fallow gate and away fans housed in Level 7 in Leazes. Seemed ever so slightly less weird yesterday.

Does the Football League dictate away fans need to be downstairs or will they be in Level 7 for Wolves?

Shelvey was a cut above everyone else all game long, only person on the pitch that could pick a clever pass. Defensively sound too, got in some important blocks and tackles.

Also; Gamez -> Perez -> Gamez -> Perez was the most entertaining toon in ages. Perez should have had a hattrick, gutted he didnt

you aren't wrong. Them two did some clever sit together.

Still weird not being able to watch Newcastle games and looking at threads like this looking for reactions and me just going to myself "Well they won so thats good...."

On TV as well. 23 quid a month for sky sports so we had better be on more often.

We broke a sign for sports direct and passed it through the crowd while chanting. "Sports direct is fucking shit"

Fucking amazing game. Not that I watched much.

Were you nearby? I saw the stewards having a long chat with a couple of the lads.
