Richard: That penalty shootout became a must win for Newcastle. Bournemouth players were exhausted! Last thing Newcastle needed was 120 minutes of draining football but at least they won and are in the hat for the next round.
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's FA Cup game between Newcastle and Bournemouth.
Here are some of your comments:
Newcastle fans
Richard: That penalty shootout became a must win for Newcastle. Had we lost after conceding that ridiculous late goal I think it would have been a real confidence killer for us. That said, the simple fact is we just don't seem to have any consistency at all this season. With the smallest of margins we have won our last two matches. It could have easily been a very different set of results. Any chance we could just have a nice undramatic 2-0 win sometimes, please?
Barry: I was there! Lots of positives for both sides. Great determination from us to take the lead, but we must learn to manage the game from that point. Bournemouth players were exhausted! Gordon, Tonali, Hall, Botman, Miley, Barnes and Ramsey were inspirational.
Phil: Could've been the second 4-3 in the space of a week! Last thing Newcastle needed was 120 minutes of draining football but at least they won and are in the hat for the next round.
Geoff: Brilliant performance. Exciting all the way through. Watching the penalties my nerves are shot. This new Newcastle never gives up. Fantastic to see.
Bournemouth fans
Neil: So proud of the boys, Wednesday was a rollercoaster and so emotional with the fairy tale ending scripted in the stars. No shame being knocked out on pens. Fabulous effort and matched Eddie's boys toe to toe. If we recruit well with the proceeds of Semenyo's sale we will be fine.
Andrew: Considering the squad we had available, that was a pretty reasonable performance. Had enough chances to win it too.
Pete: Great performance guys, never gave up, a credit to all concerned. Worth the trip. Considering all the changes you all put on a fabulous display, well done! Keep the faith, us supporters will.
