Despite everything that has been thrown at this match, it could prove to be a real landmark fro Newcastle United….or alternatively it will have proved to be our seasonal weak surrender from this competition.
At the same stage of this competition last season, Manchester United travelled to Leeds and had the following seven players in their line-up; Berbatov, Fabio, Giggs, Park, Carrick, Valencia and Owen.
Charging Newcastle fans, and I’m assuming the same for home fans if the ticketing rules were followed, an outrageous £45 has shown that you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
