South-Cheshire-Toon

Slightly off topic, but I got the impression that Fat Twat wanted to have the LOWEST BMI reading of all of the squad, but in now seeing Howie doing his training with the squad - it's HIM (Howie) that wants to have the HIGHEST BMI reading.

Aye, but that was for EVERY training session - LOL.

Agreed, I'm totally bricking it, was happy last night as Derby lost, got up this morning, had to go to the dentist and on the drive there (30 mins) became a bag of nerves just thinking about tonight. Can't imagine what others are going through. I'd imagine that for the players/staff - they've been there before so shouldn't be a worry for them. Christ - even typing this is making my stomach turn. It's like one of those sci-fi movies, when they send a rocket up to destroy an asteroid or the like, the missiles in the air - we now just have to wait until 21:20 or thereabouts to see if it's hit. Hopefully we'll know long before then that it's on target to be destroyed. Am predicting a 3-1 home win.

Nothing on the NUFC website ?

Agreed, but disagree - as from what we are seeing and, in the brentford game - seen - most of the players (bar one or two) are playing in their 'best' position, and haven't been at full match fitness. I remember seeing one of the earlier games on TV and thinking Joel looked a bit 'poddgy' - now he's looking a whole lot better. Nothing more needs to be said.

What are people thoughts, in advance of the Arsenal game, of this one ? For me - Home win, Eddie's first home game. Even thought Smith is improving them, I think we'll be too good for them. Ever hopeful.

Whole heartedly agree with this, but what pissing me off is all of the doom merchants out there - stating that after just one game - 'We're doomed' - Fucking arseholes the lot of them, both on this forum, and on the web. I know one swallow doesn't make a summer, but by the same reckoning, 1 fucking rain drop doesn't mean there's going to be a fucking flood and you need to man the Ark, nor does it mean 1 snow flake and there's going to be an ice fucking age. What's with these idiots ? Just look at the stats for the games this season - team - % pos shots target goals whu - 46 17 3 2 villa - 47 10 2 0 efl - burn 54 18 3 0 south 36 10 5 2 mnu 36 12 3 1 leeds 35 17 7 1 watford 48 20 6 1 wolves 48 8 2 1 spurs 35 7 1 2 - End of fatty twats reign. cry 25 6 2 1 chelsea 21 6 1 0 bri 34 6 1 1 brent 52 23 9 3 There's been a marked improvement, so highest % poss, most shots on, most on target, and most goals, (excluding the burnley game as this was in the efl cup), and as I see it things can only improve. We are not even a quarter of the way into the season and people are saying 'That's it' - For fuck sake, there's a shed load of games to go, some we'll win (starting this saturday), and some we'll lose - but I have every confidence we'll stay up, and if we went down, Eddie would still remain at the helm and we'll be straight back up, but I don't think it will come to that. Keeping it black and white.

Just checked - 1/2 Arsenal 4/1 Draw 31/5 Newcastle 3-1 to the toon - 80/1 - I'm going to keep doing this - all season - one's got to come up - and good return for only £1.

Ask Eddie - How ? - He has 5 days to get these lazy "defenders" playing better and then we'll have a fighting chance.

As per my other post in the relegation thread, ""Only seen highlights, but from what I've seen and looking at the stats, seems to be a world away from the previous game. Which to me can only be a good thing. Like people have said, he's only had a week or two with the lads, get miggy up to speed, tighten up at the back and things will start to look brighter. After the arseholes performance last night, they were dire, - even a win might be on the cards next Saturday. I'm going to have 3-1 for every remaining game - ones got to come in eventually. Still keeping the faith - believe in Eddie."" Am going for US to win at 3-1, just checked and odds are about 90-1 or the like. Worth one pound of anyone's money. Ever the optamist.

That might be darlows last game between the sticks as I see it.

I think this is a bit below the belt.

I would more than imagine that Eddie will be in contact and JT will be running the show, not fuck face Jones.

It's true. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/eddie-howe-tests-positive-for-covid-19/

This from the BBC - Last little snippet from Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on Joelinton: "I think he can be a huge player for us." "From what I've seen in training he's a technical player with very good feet and he's intelligent. Unlocking that talent and ability are things I'm going to make assessments on but he's got a big part in our future here." The thing is that we've only seen some of these players under brucey - and we all know about his training thoughts etc etc, So now that Eddie has had some time to get them into some sort of shape (and things will only improve from here as the training regime kicks in) - it is him and the training staff that are starting to see the better side of people - the hope is that this 'improvement' will be seen on the pitch. Can't wait until tomorrow - and have had a bet 3-1 to the Toon, £5 at 20-1. - COME FUCKING ON !!!!!!!!!

Should have been 4 people, and state - GK, D, M, A. 1 of each. And this way I would add Colo to the list above. So - Given, Colo, Cabaye, Shearer.

Here's the BBC take on things - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59330514 But he's still a lying scouse bastard - he knows what he wants to do - just got to make Villa looks good and in a 2 to 4 years time - the pool job will come along.

Agreed, but it does look arrogant with the likes of Burnley, who with Tarko, are not, as the gossip says, going to sell him in Jan, but to let him walk for 'Free' in the summer. OK, I can see one side of their story - the PIF side, but would you bit your nose off to spite the rest of your face - NO, I wouldn't, I'd try to get as much for him as possible. Whereas as much as Man Utd 'say things', they are at heart - money grabbers - so yes they'll run the PIF side of things - but come Jan - Lingard WILL BE leaving. On that front - I read that as WHU are doing so well - if he moved there - he could end up in the same situation - so, there's a better than good chance that he 'Could' come to us (Fingers crossed - as I do like him as a player - doesn't seem to be as big headed as others).

If you saw the bournemouth videos he chopped and changed the orange and white teams. So there's nothing to read into which coloured vest some one is wearing.

Everyone in the squad deserves their chance, and he could come on near the end if the wheels or namely legs come off - as this will be the first major test of their fitness.

Well all I can say is that they are a well weird lot down there, as I thought I'd try to find a forum and see what their thoughts were for the game. I found this site (very nice countdown clock btw) - but nothing that I could see to do with the game, there was a post from someone in Newcastle wishing them well etc and getting abuse about the take over, to which he replied with a nice come back. https://griffinpark.org/index.php So someone 'asked' "Shame on your club for the takeover." He replied - "I could argue with you all day with the morals of this take over thing , we had an owner who assist stripped our club for 14 years , if you don’t like what the saudies do , will you be blacklisting the World Cup because Qatar human records are just as bad if not worse than the saudies , will you stop using BP garages stop your kids watching Disney, will you stop using Facebook , blacklist the boxing and the F1 Or is it just the NUFC takeover that bothers you , Hand on heart would you turn down someone taking over your club with at least £325 billion to spend , we are football fans and not into politics." That got quite a few likes. Anyway nothing on the game, how they think they will do or the like, so I have no ideas as to what they are expecting, apart from there is a 'Phase 4 Point Prediction' in which they try to predict how the following months results will go. So you can chose from 0 points to 12 or 15 depending on the number of games, those that replied think they will either draw or win, with a few stating a loss. Hope the few are right.

Yes, I just took a few to show the variants - but there were lots - you know the picture - that one of blue and pink. The odds seemed very varied. I'd provide a screen shot or a link - but my PC (Works one) blocks access to betting websites.

Looking at an odds checker, it's looking that things are slightly in Brentford's favour at present - Newcastle Draw Brentford 33/20 1.65 12/5 2.40 7/4 1.75 13/8 1.63 47/20 2.35 17/10 1.70 8/5 1.60 23/10 2.30 13/8 1.63 But this is only an indication of where the money is being placed - still going to be a home win - COME ON !!!!

WTF - "Slightly" drop off - that's like saying the titanic hit a small lump of ice, or Mount Everest is a hill in the Himalayas. - slight over / under exaggeration as to how fucking fat and slow they have all become. FFS - At least we are seeing and (hopefully) they are feeling the benefits of this new regime.
