That is a cracking video tbf.
Wrexham can be proud - gutting to go out like that, but no mean feat to take a team 3 leagues above you all the way. Even if they have oodles of cash in comparison to others in the national League.

The new owners have certainly been introduced to the heartache of football; FA trophy final loss, playoff loss and a gutting roller coater journey of an FA cup run.

Would very much appreciate it if Southampton put out a youth team for the 5th round and concentrate on the prem.
You'd hardly know we steamrolled a championship side pushing for promotion judging by the fa cup coverage this morning. UTM!

It’ll be interesting to see how things go when exciting heartache starts to evolve into the grinding misery of supporting someone long term |

Nice and petty of Mitrovic to say tonight’s Fulham Sunderland replay was a good result for Geordies

Town today is starting to look like if Christmas reached the World Cup final. I don’t know if we’ll embarrass ourselves more if we win or if we lose this weekend

Oh aye, the 2001 FA Cup Final and the Birmingham League Cup Final ruined me. They are ace until actual kick off though

On current form we should be smashing these jokers today. But it’s a cup final so I’m very nervous…

They also have their best player back who makes a huge difference to them. Also we have only recently overtaken them in the league so I'm not sure the gap is quite what you think it is.

I think man-for-man very few Newcastle players would get into the Man U first 11 but when we have our best players available we play very well as a unit. The biggest difference is probably that our squad is incredibly shallow as far as quality goes. You’ve got the players who got us into the top four and then a huge drop off to the rest who were rock bottom under Steve Bruce 14 months ago.
Very unfortunate that today is coming off our worst run, and Man Utd’s best, of the season.
Despite the war crimes tainting it I have gone digging through my drawers and found my 98/99 home shirt so will be wearing literally the exact same top I did last time we were in a final.

Can't see anything other than a tight game tbh. I'd expect us to win but also wouldn't be surprised if we don't.
To quote the late great super bob, could go either way.

Yeah, I think it'll be tight, too. Hopefully be a good game.
Much for us might depend on Rashford's fitness, or otherwise. He's in the squad and MEN (I know, I know) say he's fit enough to take some part. Might be big Wout's big day to shine, though... (it won't).

A long time since I've watched a League Cup final, but looking forward to it. Hopefully the start of trophies under ETH. I don't think it'll be an easy one though.

Can't see beyond a United win myself, though haven't forgotten how well Newcastle defended against us. Just United's form at the moment will be such a boost largely because Rashford's respecced and maxing football, minning feeding starving children and pretending to write books so maybe there's hope if he's not fully fit.

United 'leaked' XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Casemiro, Fernandes, Antony, Rashford, Weghorst
As expected if true. Change it up at HT with Wout coming off if it's not working I guess.
Worried about ASM up against Dalot as he always plays well against us.

At least one of the glazers are there so more than usually seen.

Hasn't started that way!
We will be better in the second half hopefully when Rashford goes up top.

Been a slow start for sure. Both teams feeling each other out so far.

Think we should be winning it on experience in finals alone amongst our players.
But Newcastle scraping it by a goal and Karius heroics wouldn’t surprise me.

Need to start testing Karius really.
As I typed. Goal!!
Edit: FS maybe offside
