samptime29 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Vital we win this. We need to get off to a good start with City and Liverpool early doors. I want us to perform well, and show improvement obviously but I would take a narrow, scrappy win all day long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first one with my eldest was the 7-1 thrashing of Spurs. Stood with her on my arm/hip for most of the game so she could see. She was very young, but my arm/back was numb by the end!

Scoot Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Can't remember the last time I looked forward to an opening game like this. Please don't fuck this up Newcastle. Just win please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 It's the sort of game we'd normally think is a nice start to the season and lose 0-1 to a Lingard goal. Think we'll win 3-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll win 3-1. Not at all too optimistic or nutty! I can’t decide between 3-1 or 2-0. (…if only we could ‘decide’). I’ll go with a nice controlled 2-0 (1-0 HT), with occasional scare and Lingard volleying into L7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Not entirely sure Lingard starts this. Played 76 minutes in a friendly against Valencia on Saturday and that is his only match time this whole pre season. Can't see him being quite ready to start a Premier League game.

Rich Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 We'll press them to death, be ahead by half-time and then have a little wobble before seeing it out with a late breakaway winner. 2-0 or 3-1 for me, as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Last time we played Forest on the first day of the season? 21st August 1965 2-2 (Suddick, McGarry) 37,230 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 We now know our style, set up and tactics, regardless of who plays which is key for me in determining how we will fare against the opposition. I haven’t a clue about Forest, however, and I doubt their manager really does either nor their fans and players given the huge influx of new signings. If we keep doing what we’ve been doing and do it well, we should win the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If we're losing we can always invade the pitch and get it abandoned then win the restaged game. I'm sure it won't take them about 48 years to get over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I’d take that, if it led to a panicked almighty loosening of the purse strings. But I think we are too well organised to lose this at home (I know…).

54 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Its been a summer of positivity, everyone is on the up, the vibe is really good, the team has been coached by a high quality backroom staff who set high standards, we've had a really good pre-season against top quality champions League opposition with everyone in the squad getting decent minutes under the belt. This is going to be a classic Newcastle 2-0 defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
