Maybe but there's never guarantees in the January window.

You say that but then we'll have an even further congested fixture list post World Cup and further injury risks then. Its a double edged sword.

My fucking idea of hell.

Bruno should start if he's fit. Simple as that. We really have to win this and there's an international break after this game.

Same. Would rather Newcastle win the toss to kick towards the Gallowgate in the 2nd half v Bournemouth than England win something tbh.

Best explanation of it I recall alongside Rafalove's. I'm pretty much the same tbh but from a Newcastle/Geordie perspective.

Missed a 1v1, had a goal robbed from us and came close on a few occasions. Only remember 1 good save Pope had to make late on.

Chuffed that it's on, get in. Said before that I fancy us to dish out a pummelling in this one. Probably over confidence like but in every attacking metric we're looking incredibly positive and we likely have Bruno and ASM (maybe even Wilson) back. Them and Isak, urrrrffff. Might stick a few quid on over 3.5 goals for us. 4-0.

Aye, ours will be on. Thank god. Bournemouth are only bringing 1200 up and they're not exactly fans who cause bother or we have enmity with.

To anyone who didn't see that, here's a brief summary.

Some ending to this game

Juve are utter dogshit but great performance so far from Salernitana.

Juventus are a shadow of the team they were 5 years ago.

Why's Juve's ground >half empty?

I'd argue since the Brexit referendum there's been quite a big rise in English nationalism. How Britain Ends is a read I'd strongly recommend.

It's all about policing resources apparently but I can't see that being an issue. This game is 2 days before the funeral and Bournemouth are only bringing up 1200 fans and they aren't wankers ie bother causers.

Aye. Politically I'm a socialist and am vehemently against the idea of being born into positions of privilege which has been built on the wealth obtained over centuries of colonial exploitation. Am against the taxpayer paying money to keep them and resent the flagshagging which is rife in England. Hence why I am strongly against commemorating a monarch who probably visited this city 3 or 4 times over 70 years while on the throne. Especially as Newcastle is a left wing Labour voting city. The poppy is slightly different I think but gbandit is right that the symbol has been highjacked by the right wing. But I'm not overly bothered by poppy wearing on shirts or displays (remember the Flanders Fields display in 2018), its something football has always done and this city and football club has military connections so I can take or leave them. So much different to having a banner of the queen. But we certainly are a far cry from the Cool Britannia shit from the 90s.

For me personally, I believe that football is a lot closer to remembrance than championing a monarch. Fans, coaches and players all fought or were involved in the two world wars (I believe there is a plaque outside SJP detailing that) and its something that has always been done in football. Saying that I don't get my knickers in a twist over people who don't wear poppies or get involved etc.

Feels strange that this is so far away, hope to god it doesn't get postponed. Absolutely no reason for it to. Fancy us strongly and also fancy us to dish a pasting out here. Everything is positive in attacking metrics and I think it's a matter of time before we pummel someone. 3 or more goals.

Same.

If that's the case I hope my life is also cancelled.

@ponsaelius & anyone else that bought trains down to London for this.

If the Bournemouth game gets canned then it's an absolute farce. Especially for their lot, having to come up here midweek in January or February. Means there won't be another game until 1st October and no home game until 8th October. Absolute state of it.

Jesus fucking Christ.
