Last plug of the week but I was asked by @ThatsLiquid to write about a game Newcastle lost that meant a lot to me. There were many options but I went for that Fenton game in 1996. Sigh. #nufc @NUFC360

OTD in 1996, Newcastle travelled to Blackburn days after THAT 4-3 with Liverpool. Their 12 point lead over Manchester United had disintegrated. Defeat was unthinkable.

Here's @cm9798, Losing his Favourite Game.

The #EuropaLeague returns tonight to little fanfare, a far cry from the first season of the revamped competition, when little old #Fulham made it all the way to the final. ⁦@gpruce⁩ looks back on a night of disappointment and pride in Hamburg. #FFC https://t.co/5ZjB9ioEcy

The trials and tribulations of #BuryFC have taken it out of some supporters, though they perhaps don’t miss afternoons like this one... https://t.co/qtSuyNoYXV

[ThatsLiquidFootball @ThatsLiquid]

With the FA Cup out of the way attention now turns to the #CarabaoCup semi-finals, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a proper underdog in there?

⁦@tiertwofooty looks back on the night Doncaster Rovers were close to making the final four.

[Morpeth Town AFC @MorpethTownAFC]

"Morpeth were so humble afterwards and couldn’t have been more hospitable if they had tried."

We still hold @Bowerspitseafc in the highest regard. A superb cup tie played in the right spirit.

#Highwaymen #HowaythePeth

[Bowers & Pitsea FC @Bowerspitseafc]

@ThatsLiquid @ped1980 @MorpethTownAFC Truly was a heart-breaking day on the pitch, but off the pitch we made fantastic friends with @MorpethTownAFC, and it's great to see them more than just holding their own in the Northern Premier League

[ThatsLiquidFootball @ThatsLiquid]

Back once again with another episode of Losing My Favourite Game, and ahead of this weekend’s #favase ties, @ped1980 looks back at a heartbreaking defeat for local side ⁦@Bowerspitseafc to ⁦@MorpethTownAFC.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? No, you’re sulking over the weekend’s result, and why not? Christmas is ruined. Bah Humbug.
