Drawn at home to Mags in FA Cup


There’s huge pressure on SAFC. You have to try and compete against a top quality side in front of a demanding crowd.
The pressure is firmly on to not just put a shift in but to try and match quality which will be difficult given the big gulf.
Thinking there’s no pressure is massively complacent and you should be really hopeful that the manager and team aren’t thinking the same. I’d be amazed if they were though.
There isn't. We're fully expected to lose
 
For me, it’s a derby so it’s no bigger or smaller than any previous ones.
I’m genuinely surprised your playing it down despite being so far apart.
Can only play in our favour if yous are writing it off I suppose.
If it was the old Newcastle with fat mike and hovering around mid table I'd agree. You've got players in your squad you've paid more for than pretty much our whole team man. We might be only a league between us but in reality we're not even playing the same game anymore. Sand/blood money has changed the very essence of your club, we've largely been on similar playing grounds money wise apart from the odd blip not anymore.

Pressure is all on yous massive monkey of six in a row, champions league club coming to a club just out of four years in the third tier, if this wasn't a derby game nobody in their right mind would be picking the home team to get a result. Team of kids against a team full of experience.
 
As if a few people on her writing it off will have an influence 🤣🤣

It’s a derby and both sides will go after it, expectations on us are different. You are the state funded richest club in the world on the crest of a wave, we’ve only just returned to the championship after 4 seasons in league 1.

Bit different coming here as massive overwhelming favourites than going to Paris as plucky underdogs.

We’ll be up for it no danger but given the outlay on your team we will need you to be off your game for us to win.

Yeah, despite the negativity from a sectio. Of the fans, I fully expect TM to have his players right up for it and not have the ‘nowt to lose’ attitude.
And yeah, we’d need to be tight off the boil and yous at full pelt for you to win.
 
For us Clarke probably about 3 mill. Ballard roughly 1-2 mill. All the rest are frees/academy or sub 1 million players iirc
About 7 million v hundreds of millions
But we will still give them a game I hope-the crowd and players should see to that

The pressure is all on them, they have the bragging rights anyways. Give Newcastle there due they are a quality side with a manager who has them invigorated, but in a 1 off cup game that’s a derby anything can happen. I would have been very worried if it’s was an away tie as they are relentless at home!
I for one am buzzing about it, my 11 year old lad is going to get his first taste of the derby, it’s been long overdue!
Striker on the 1st of Jan please kld/ speakman!!!

You would say that though, Newcastle by selling out to a muderous regime will have tarnished a decent rivalry forever in a lot of peoples eyes. I wouldn’t expect the average mag to have the self awareness to consider this.
 
Rumour has it Adam Pearson is going under cover amongst our lot. Look out for a virgin shouting for thunderland whilst eating cheesy chips and blue pop in the South Stand.
He’ll get the hiding off his life if he tries to do something as stupid as that the attention seeking grooming little prick.
 
No idea but it’ll be the biggest ever in the history of the fixture.
Isak cost more than Dreyfus and sartori have paid for our club!
Willock cost more than our whole squad
Trippier earns more a week than our entire squad.

All give or take a few quid but the gulf is probably beyond calculation.
We are maybe 50/60million they will be 500/600 million minimum
