Hello everybody. Welcome to the Football R here at the Football Ramble.

I'm still Marcus Speller, and I'm joined by these two guys.

Pete Donaldson, you must be really happy because Newcastle will beat Fulham in the Newcast.

I'm really happy. I'm happy I'd see my team win a football match after what's a Borence I saw at the weekend against Sunderland. It was just nice to see them actually a win a football match. And it was, it marches on. We're going to take this cut back, quite frankly. From ourselves. You're not going to give it back. I'm not even going to take it out of the cabinet. I can exclusively reveal that the reason we're doing a show remotely today is it just wasn't deemed safe for these two to be in the same room together. Yeah, exactly. After that clash of the Titans yesterday yesterday. Well, I think, yeah, Pete was just going to batter me in celebration as he does.

Yeah, I'd, look, obviously being a full of fan, I'm a bit disappointed.

Let me just get my one little churlish point out the way.

I'd rather be out of the cup and not have those owners than the opposite.

All right? Wow.

Salty.

Going salty.

Going like, going deep and dark.

Yeah.

I mean, is this because when both teams made their substitutions who we brought off the bench is very different to who you brought off the bench. I mean, we were bringing on your Alangas, your Voldemar, as your gardens, your Tanales, and who are you bringing on? Josh King and Adam andriori. Yeah. Hang on. What's wrong with Josh King? He's on the bench, for starters, Mark. Future England World Cup winner. You can clip that.

I stand by that.

His name's King from crying out loud. Isn't it? He is a king, yeah. No, you're right. Newcastle panicked, but they got over the line. Look, to be honest with you, they did. At no point did I really think Fuller were going to win this game. and at no point would I have thought they would beat Man City over two legs or Chelsea or Arsenal or Crystal Palace.

But no. When that Lukach goal went in though, did you think?

Because Fulham played really well first 25 minutes, I thought.

And then obviously Newcastle's slight bleaching quality told.

But do you think when that goal goes in on the 16th minute that Fulham have kind of got this they're kind of in the driving seat?

I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't say driving seat but it obviously gives one hope.

I mean, Fulham obviously won at St James is not that long ago and Newcastle haven't been

that convincing this season generally.
