I went to the Newcastle - Rochdale FA Cup replay, ticket prices £10 adult, £5 for concessions.
Attendance 31,000 - prices matter as Newcastle widened its fan base.
A pity the Dale didn't turn up on the pitch though 2,500 travelled to SJP
Search found 2563 matches

They could have let him swing for a few months more, leading to further Tory disagreement and infighting...

McNeil with average of 8.15 is the lowest.

A gutsy report with a brave ending.
VAR will seldom be used to overrule/change a marginal, dodgy decision by the match officials. This happened 3 times to us in the 1st half hence the bitter taste in the mouth but, as you say, we contributed with our 2 major mistakes too.
