Let's hope we go one better this season.  

People poo poo the Carabao Cup but if you win it that's all forgotten because it's still a trophy.

Wow, wonder what sort of side Chelsea will wheel out against this lot?

Barrow 😁😁😁

The Cumbrians are coming. Maybe we should buy a Uthred 🌞

My (recently) late father's home town.  Awful, awful place (lots of drugs problems these days; county lines gangs stuff).

Let's hope Noni isn't in the squad, because if he didn't like Wolverhampton... 😱😱 

Hated going there as a child to visit my English grandparents. Not been back since the mid to late eighties. Will be very disappointed if we don't stuff them, no matter what team we put out.

I would prefer Wimbledon. It's a long way to St. James Park.

You could have a trial run - Just got a email from AFC Wimbledon saying tickets for their st james park match are on general sale 😀

Plough Lane is as muddy as the pitch in Newcastle

where it rains so much, you can't wait for the touch of the sun and sand.

One of my favourite songs.
