Bed at 1 and fucking cat woke me up at 6 and Im still smiling non stop. Hung over, voice gone, ears ringing and need a proper fry up to sort me out. What a fucking night though, even though me and my weak bladder were stuck right in the middle of a row, apologies to all the toes that got stood on. We were 2nd back row in the leazes east stand corner and whilst the low roof does increase the sound, it was truly non stop noise throughout the game. Never experienced noise like it. You could tell the fans had given everything as it was almost deadly quiet walking and queueing for the metro. Everyone was spent. Such a proud night to be a Newcastle fan, almost like being in a "if Carlsberg did Champion league nights" commercial. How the hell they will manage to get themselves recovered and ready for West Ham is beyond me. Absolutely class.

Looks like the next TT pissup is going to be in The Hague.

Massive for Toonpack that Status Quo are now a post-match SJP staple too.

I fucking hate international breaks, so our Glorious Geordie Boys to rip one up these bubble blowin cunts to help us get over the break. No tired legs here, hang your piss stained bed sheets out to dry, in Eddiewe trust, he's the man with a plan, onwards and upwards.

We should win our CL group then refuse to be advanced to the next round, like a classy club would marra

At my mate's shed/bar, got home a bit pissed around eleven, watched YouTube videos of everything I could see about the match. Didn't get to bed until 01.35. Had to be up at 05.15. Reminds me of a very similar timetable to the original Barcelona game. Fucking brutal but worth it.

Am reading through the hidden thread to see their reactions and IMO it was more muted than usual (mostly because anyone who posted in the thread was roundly attacked by 5 or 6 other posters because Sunderland were playing too and no one should even be thinking of our game). Came across this though: I just want to take a moment to call this out for what it is. It's cowardice. Fear. Terror, even. The reality he is putting forward is that we have ceased to be a football club anymore, and are now something different, thus negating our rivalry with them. We are no longer Newcastle United. He's right that the rivalry has died in terms of the true meaning of the word. We are now untouchable to them in a very real sense - after a certain point this will be cemented for all time IMO, not that we're quite there yet. He knows this, we know this. It is no longer a rivalry not because we are no longer Newcastle United, but because they are so comprehensively outclassed by every aspect of our club, that the word no longer has meaning. There aren't 3 clubs in the North East anymore, there is one + a few smaller outfits like Gateshead, Blyth and Sunderland. He can try to reframe this however the damn hell he wants, but he is fucking terrified of the day he can't keep reality out anymore. The day we line up against and then absolutely obliterate them. Truthfully we are already doing this, we are obliterating them in relative terms every day of the week - but eventually it'll come through on the football pitch. This is why they don't want promotion. This is why they want to tell themselves that this is no longer a rivalry. This cowardly, weak, pathetic response from them dressed up in "humanitarian concerns" is transparent and obvious. Die on your fucking feet Sunderland fans, you lying, dismal, cringing excuse for a supporter base.

I just want to watch even the absolute worst match related content all day. Days like this ruin your YouTube recommendations for a month. The algorithm just thinks you're a total junkie for shit football craic.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I did wonder if the post Neymar, Messi era would change that. Top result fellas.

Guess who 5 Live havegot on to talk about it. John fucking Carver.

And before I sleep, I'll leave this.

Well Im late to the reaction party of course. It fell in the middle of a mental day at work and I had it on on an extra screen at one side. Quite the mixed pot of feelings, wanting to smash in the faces of a couple of utter numpties holding down management level jobs while not being able to add 2 and 2 whilst feeling utterly euphoric at was was going on at Newcastle. We've all been saying this for a while but yesterday the feeling came up again in bounds and leaps, is this really happening and is this really NUFC? To have this group of insanely talented players who wear the shirt with so much pride, let by someone like Howe who not just leads with class but is proving to be a world class manager. The amount of special moments yesterday as well, it couldnt have been scripted better. Burn and Longy. Bruno's performance. I thought Tonali was outstanding in the first half too, the PSG midfield had absolutely zero chance. And that from Schar near the end, just unreal. Can't imagine the scenes around the city after the game, I assume not many went to work today

I knew they’d start claiming our group was easy. Something practically every neutral would disagree with Meanwhile they’ll bang on about the quality of the championship, whilst claiming the teams who pissed automatic promotion from it last year are shite

Are we still talking about Sammy's balls?

@sammynb this is a code red. holden is trying to fuck up our winning run. get the west ham thread started asap

I'd keep them away from England too, you go from a bouncing dressing room to one where you are given a book on fucking paint samples and crochet techniques from the Spanish 16th centuray.

Dont you like it?

Longstaff will be from South Shields by the end of the day

Don't want pollute the PSG thread any mnore. This knacker man!

Mrs Sponge has just come in with a very disapproving look having counted 10 empty cans in the kitchen Good job she can't see the 4 down the side of the chair

He learned that from Lewis Dunk 😂 Seriously, well done folks - brilliant result. Lots of sore heads in the morning 👏👏👏

Right fuck it. I'm in the Southgate is a Cunt club. He's in a very unfortunate position cos I don't actually want him to pick our players, but he can fuck off if he thinks he's not picking our players. The goofy little dweeb.

We were still 3 days shy of the 2nd anniversary of the takeover last night BTW. Less than 2 years and we're pumping PSG in the CL. I don't believe any manager other than Howe could have achieved this. We got mad lucky getting that bloke.

innit?

they've gone from falling about laughing that we'd be lucky to get a point in this group, to it being a piss easy one where it'd be shameful if we don't qualify for the knock out stages. got to love the stupid cunts.

Fuck this official shit, I’m uploading all my dodgy self taken ones with camera moves to the music and the odd long pauses on heaving bosoms as I scanned the room. It is without doubt the best pre match pub.

selfish twat

Call in the Gravy Seals @Christmas Tree - it’s your time to shine.

You cant ban Toontastics number 1 poster. Im above the law.

Speaking of follow through, how’s your arsehole this morning?

I hope none our players get called up. I'd keep them all away from the toxic fanbase. Thats including you Wykiki.

Celebrated with some whisky. Woke at 4 by my lad having a nightmare. Hungover and exhausted. Couldn't give a fuck cos WUHGONNAWINTHECHAMPIONSLEEEEEEEG

Gordon offensively last night wasnt as affective as he has been. But him and Miggy seriously set the tone in terms off pressing and tracking back. Superb. Gordon has really settled this season, looks happy as a dog with two dicks.

Agreed. This stuff about best thread starter is disrespectful. We all know.

Even better that there is a new series of All Creatures great and small starting tonight too! Tha fucking knows!

Liverpool presenting themselves as the moral saviour to the rest of the league. Again! Remember they only just got done being the "brave little battlers" trying to save us from ManC dominance. Christ on a bike! Nobody likes you! Honestly, Liverpool are to England what England is to rest of the world. We don't want your help. We don't need your help. Nobody asked you. Everyone wishes you'd stop trying to moralise the stinging reality of your decades long fading from relevance with that incessant high-pitched whinging. Saving cricket. Saving football. Oh Britannia! Save it. And save the rest of us the bother. (I exclude Geordies from any of this. Saints, the lot of ya. ) But, anyway, for the rest, if ever anyone from England wonders how the rest of the world views you, just look at Liverpool. That's how. Now pipe down already.

Watched the match on a half-an-hour delay this morning before racing off to work. Wow! Not ashamed to admit I was welling up at points there in the second half. It's such a wonderful experience to support this club. We fucking clobbered those French twats. But, hey, no real surprises. Since ChezGiven, we've always known that the French lifestyle weakens the spirit.
