As part of my campaign to get the most of the cup ticket scheme (delighted at Man City to start...) I'm after the Bayern, Real, Milan option.

Someone has pointed out though that the Sir Bobby Robson tour of Barca, Porto, PSV is possible and would be lovely.

I remember I had my driving test the day we played Barcelona in the Nou Camp, Shola got a goal in a 3-1 loss.

Think it absolutely pissed it down and the day was postponed for a day.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

I was at uni in Newcastle but rarely got to games as a skint student. I did go to this one though, it was rubbish and had a classic Bramble defensive error. I remember Kluivert scoring and offering what looked more an apologetic shrug than an actual celebration.

I was in secondary school. I remember still being in my uniform watching the Feyenoord game and going nuts at Bellamy's later winner <laugh>
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

I remember beating Barcelona as it was my dad's wedding day to his 3rd wife.

Shows how long it's been as he's on wife number 5 now.

Pots1,2,3 and 4
The draw
Newcastle are in it , yes in it.
That makes me so appreciative of last seasons miracle. Cannot deny a memory
Here’s hoping we make more on this fabulous journey
I’m gonna sit back and bask in this and all the associated exposure to Newcastle United.
Now for the fantasy bit ……Imagine I managed to get a ticket for a champions league game at SJP 🙏
