Booking flight now today, cannot wait. Glad they got the coverage sorted nice and early. Start saving for a session to end all sessions...

It'll be the last game I get to this season as I've to save for college but I'm planning to go on the ultimate binge session.

€32 beans quality price for return flight.

Chance of tickets for it though?

€32 + €12 admin fee Doocey pal unless you've a prepaid Mastercard. You don't get stung with the €12 admin fee with one of those bad boys.

Tickets will be hard to come by I'd imagine. I joined the membership scheme this season so tickets go on sale first to members and season ticket holders.

It then goes to online general sale about a week and a half after the initial priority sale. Membership is £25 but unless you're gonna make a few trips, it's probably not worth paying an extra £25 on top of the price of a match ticket.

Ah stop, going to be a serious session. We should have a wee meet up if a few people off this are going.

The game wont go to membership but i can try and get extra tickets. Always get one myself and can sometimes get a 2nd...

Myself and the buddy are heading over as well, flying Cork to Newcastle on Friday and back Sunday at 5pm. Problem with that is it's a bit tight unless kick off is definitely 12pm. Also the flights from Cork are €170 return which ain't cheap. Tempted to drive to Dublin for cheap flights and stay till Monday.

€170??? Bloody hell lad. Don't pay that. Book Ryanair flights from Dublin on the Saturday night to the Monday evening if you can. Currently less than €30 (not including €12 admin fee) to fly on the Saturday evening to the Monday night.
To fly out on the Monday morning at 11 is €42 (not including €12 admin fee) which is still significantly cheaper than flying out from Cork.

It's the more sensible option mate.

And now for something completely different:

Definitely go with the dublin option... Even with an overly expensive Irish train it will work out way cheaper. Im going over on the 2nd from Dublin then heading to the Gooners away game and flying back from london, comes to just under €100 for two separate flights

What area of the ground do ye normally frequent, I do like the Bar 1892 and the platinum club but they are a bit pricey and very little atmosphere.

Aye theyre the posh seats, comfy but no craic. I had my ST for the last few years up in the Leazes and Leazes Corner... All the lads have moved down to the Strawberry Corner now so if your looking for atmosphere, which is a must on Derby Day (lost my voice for 6days after the 5-1), go to the Strawberry Corner

That_Guy

Online server is taking a battering. Been in a queue for bloody ages now trying to buy tickets.

Bringing a mate over for his first visit and he wants the best seats going so we're going for the Milburn but at this stage I'll take anywhere.

That_Guy

Ringing the box office is the best way to get tickets. Managed to get through by selecting the "away tickets" option.

Ah they'll never sell out straight away... Best seats are in the corner man. I always make my mates go for atmosphere instead of view and they much prefer it to any other games theyve been! dont give him a choice!

R, if memory serves me correct, that should be near the strawberry corner. Get it as low down as you can, wander over to the strawberry corner and stand in the stairwell up the back...belting craic!

Looks like our double Dembas will be coming home early. Senegal are losing 1-0 with 15 mins to go in 2nd game of group so it would leave table like this

team|points
Eq Guinea|6
Zambia|4
Libya|1
Senegal|0


The last game is 29th Jan, so could be back for Villa on the 5th.

Could even make an appearance on the bench for Blackburn away (Wednesday the 1st), potential banana skin!

Lee Ryder from the Chronicle says they're due to fly home on Monday.

They'd hardly fly home the day after the last game...would they!? I dont want them to be rushed back anyways. They havent done much when out there but Villa on the 5th at the very earliest.

That's bloody great news...now to slag one of the girls at work who's Senegalese...she was going nuts the other day when I mentioned that I wanted them to crash out early.:D

To be fair, Perch is turning out to be decent player.

Can pass the ball quite well - just don't think he's a centre back.

Im still not sold...i rank him amongst Paul McShane and the likes.

Ah he's not that bad!

I think he has a future at NUFC - Pardew showing a lot of faith in him of late with substitute appearances when under the cosh.

Looks like a midfielder to me, deep lying one.

Alan Smith gone to MK Dons as well...

Really? Ah man, i cant stand him. 2 players I really dislike at the Toon are Perch and Simpson. Simpson is doing very well at the moment but I think that has alot to do with the team as a whole... When we were having some lower times over the last year or two, Simpson was diabolical.

Really!? They're going to pay his outrageous wages!? Good riddance!

Can't disagree with that.

On loan unfortunately!

Morpork

Well we should get a good judgement of Perch today as he's starting in place of Colo.

I personally don't like him...

G.K.

So THERE's Kadar!

Vurnon San Benito

perch had a solid game tonight.

An own-goal, blatant penalty disallowed saw us lose a game we controlled.
However, we just never looked like scoring tonight in all fairness.

Out of the cup we go, back to league business!

You think? I thought him and Simpson were as useless as ever. Williamson had to pull across to cover Perch and then ended up deflecting into the net. Rightly p*ssed off tonight.
Yep. we didnt take anything in final 3rd seriously. Poor performance. But on the plus side, top 10 concentration from here on out.

Poyet robs us AGAIN!!!!! the last time, he was helped by Denis Wise.

What an absolute pile of sh*te that was.

Pardew has gotten it wrong big time in the last few games. The 4-3-3 formation isn't working. Why change a 4-4-2 with Best and Shola up front? Why the bizarre substitutions at the end of the game?


Half the players didn't seem bothered. Weren't up for the battle at all. The fact that Perch looked our best player says it all.

Cabaye can't handle a physical game. This isn't the first time he's done something like that. Sure, he should have gotten a foul, but there was a definate retaliation IMO. He should have been sent off against Sunderland and Liverpool also. He needs to adapt to the physical side of play that comes up against him or else his time here will be seen as a failure. He has been a tad overrated IMO.

Simpson is an idiot. Should have been hauled off straight after he got a stupid yellow. The goal was purely his fault. Didn't have the balls to follow through with a challenge. He was way too far up the pitch anyway. England call up?? LOL.

Mr.Crinklewood

Alan Smith joins MK Dons on loan.

NufcNavan

They are contributing £2,500 a week to his £60k. What's the point?

Quote Alan Smith - "I'm not happy just to stay and pick up my wages, it's not what I'm about."

What a prick.

Many many players have done this across all sorts of sports as they just love playing their chosen game. They just want time on the field... Dont let the door hit you on the way out Smith

That maybe so but he shouldn't be criticized for collecting his wage he committed to the club and them to him, he is honoring his part I'm sure he would love to stay and play.

Wud you leave your job 4 have the money? Why should he be expected to?
