Got to be honest, I have really bad vibes about this - not just after the effects of Wednesday, but also the thug they have in midfield. I’m not convinced this ref will give us any protection. Although he will, of course, give them every fake foul going. I’d love a repeat of ‘74, but as I say, very apprehensive.
Been interested to read that as Newcastle haven’t won anything in whatever it is (70 years not including the inter toto we’re not in Kansas anymore cup in the 60’s?) it somehow means more & they’ll win. Pretty sure Cardiff & Birmingham felt the same way. 2-0 sounds marvellous but will take any Reds win & personally I’ve never known any Red when any final is in the balance to go into it with anything else than a win mentality, UTFR
Really pleased with this preview. As I said on the Distance Covered podcast this week, my prediction is 2-0 Liverpool.
But the Reds win very few cup finals in 90 minutes... will this be an exception?

Yes, I hate caring who the referee is but Brooks feels like a 'level it for the underdog' sort of ref.

Newcastle 3-0.
I'm not going to jinx this!
If this is the score, I will hunt you down!!
