I’m not convinced they’ve released the full allocation yet but I might be wrong. Both end blocks weren’t on sale at 12.30. Guess they could have gone on sale since then.

The rules stipulate 10% of capacity or 2000, whatever is lower. In league games clubs tend to be a bit more generous if they don’t sell out, which Boro rarely do. For this game, they will sell out though, hence the 2000.

Finishing 4th tips the balance in our favour IMO. Don’t lose the away leg and I think we’ll qualify. Lose by the odd goal and I still think we’ll qualify. Lose by more than one and we’re struggling. I think we beat Millwall and Hull at Wembley. Dare i say comfortably? The Boro game is the one.

Away game starting at 24 + aways with an allocation of 2100. £22. Very reasonable.

07.50. Arrives into Newcastle around 9am. Would be reasonably tight with an hour or two delay but it’s the first flight of the day for Logan so here’s hoping it runs to time.

Team picks itself really; Perez, Bree, Stephens (Wood), THB, Manning, Jander, Downes, Scienza, Azaz, Matsuki, Larin

We’re flying out of Southampton on Saturday morning and back into Heathrow later that evening. Lift home sorted. £56 return alongside a few avios 👌

What a perfect final day that turned out to be. Flights booked to Newcastle for the away leg 💪

Get in. Finishing 4th is brilliant!

I personally think people are underestimating the importance of finishing 4th. Having the second leg at home in the evening is hugely advantageous compared to a first leg home tie at 12.30. Finishing 5th makes it much less likely we make the final IMO as Boro are certainly no mugs.

Dream scenario now is to rest quite a few, still beat Preston and hope Boro lose. Finishing 4th would really help.

Few of our younger fans embarrassing themselves on social media as always. They’ve no recollection of a pre Arab oil Man City though so I guess can be forgiven, but it’s just cringe when they’re arguing with 60 year old blokes who have probably seen it all. In terms of yesterday, a hell of a lot of coked up nippers which added an unnecessary edge afterwards. Atmosphere was pretty good though I thought.

Feels so much like after the League Cup final. Glorious, magnificent failure. When Azaz scored it was absolute chaos behind that goal and I genuinely thought it might just be our time. Hopefully they’ll use this feeling to propel us to another play off win at Wembley. They fucking deserve it and so do we. We have the makings of a pretty decent PL outfit here.

Saints were fantastic. Played the only way we could have against them. Fucking deflected goal and an absolute bullet. Soul destroying.

He was sensational
