This is a great tie but not the one I wanted personally.
I married a Geordie and lived in North Shields for many years before we moved to Spain.
Even though we have had a decent record against the Toon in recent years, I fear that run will come to an abrupt end this time.
They are are top form and are hungry to achieve some success whether it be European qualification or a cup.
I want us to win obviously but hope that if we get beat, it's not a drubbing.
Anyway, it's a Win Win for our house at least.
Let's look forward to a cracking game though as it's gonna be a great atmosphere.
