, Carabao Cup Semi-Final, 2nd Leg
Yay, I get to kick the tread off!! So you know what the time is for right??
In the end, I have no crystal ball to say why I think we could/will win but I have a bucketload of hope in my heart that says we CAN win! Very important trait to have in a two horse race!
Yes, the odds are so far stacked against us that we literally have a free hit at this, no pundit would have us coming anywhere near close to overturning this one but in the tradition of a home and away tie, ONE GOAL is all we need to turn it on it’s head.
Also, don’t discount the pressure The Toon will be under to get to the final and also consider how many past examples of our situation are littered in the annals of time where the first leg loser get’s the chocolates.
C’mon bros! Get behind the team at least up until ya’s lose your nerve/faith/will lol

I still dread seeing the team sheet - with the unexpected and strange selections, it’s like Ralph never left.

Our gardener is a long-suffering Saints fan, whose resolute cynicism about the club makes me look like a picture of optimism.
However, he confidently predicts a Saints win and progression to the next round tomorrow. I don’t know what has produced this utterly uncharacteristic burst of expectancy from him, but he refuses to be shaken on it.

With the greatest of respect that could be incredibly good news.

Have we won yet? 
Yes all done and dusted 1-3 saints JWP hatrick
Blimey.
Oh
At St Mary’s in the first leg there was two Newcastle pundits (Given and Les Ferdinand) to one Franny Benali. So surely that would be reversed tonight in the second leg…
Oh wait, there’s Shay Given and David Ginola. Seems fair and definitely won’t add to the media bias 
COYS, stick it up ‘em.

Great. Bree ahead of Perrauld. Diallo ahead of Lavia. Bednarek ahead of Caletta-Carr.
