Wednesday has The Toon taking on Citeh in the Capital One Cup fourth round at SJP.
After suffering defeat away to the old enemy on Sunday I reckon this will be another severe test for the Toon faithful. Not having got near them for the last eight, nor won for fourteen in all competitions, it's probably a big ask to expect something from this one. After all according to the hierarchy it's not a priority anyway. Barring a major miracle (minor ones being just not enough) against a squad with huge sums of money spent on it any victory will have to be earned the hard way, while defeat just another reminder of the actual gulf between the two clubs. Either way a result must be achieved on the night.
Quite what the side will be is anyone's guess although I don't expect APee to throw caution to the wind by putting out an almost full strength first team eleven with Chelski arriving Saturday lunchtime. Could be a defining period for the manager if the side lose all three games in a week. Should that happen it will hardly be a surprise I reckon that the knives will be out again big time (including some held possibly inside SJP), accompanied by loud cries from those on the terraces, for him to be sacked. The guy really is on a hiding to nowt these days with Mikey having also fallen out with the local press over coverage of The Time 4 Change march.
Even the mantra of 'Support the team not the regime' is becoming tiresome and also begs the question does anyone actually really give a toss anymore?
Lights Oot!

I've seen Newcastle United win silverware!
