bobbydazzla Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Fights break out all around the ground, starting when Jemima from Jesmond who usually sits in the Platinum Club lets out a blood curdling scream as she spots the dead pigeon above her head from her allocated seat in the Gallowgate. Her scream frightens the life out of 82 year old Geoffrey from Gosforth who for 60 years has been to a few games per season and enjoyed the silence of the East Stand, he spills his hot Bovril all over the shaved head of Barry from Benwell who’s been hoovering ching all day and has skulled 12 pre match pints in a seedy city centre boozer. Barry starts to kick fuck out of Geoffrey, so Geoffrey’s wife Gertrude who has been allocated a seat in the Leazes, steams down the full length of the pitch to save him, swinging her handbag like a medieval weapon. Chaos ensues. The match is called off. Edited August 1, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Will be a tough game this. They were really good at their place last season and for the first time all season, we looked totally undone. They finished the season strongly and have signed good players. However, first game of the season and we have a lot to be excited about. We will need our defensive solidarity to return for this one, a quick start and a very strong performance and I think we will deliver it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I am still worried about our "slowish" defence against this lot. last season they tore us a new hole by having quick transitions down the wings and with direct over the top balls. Tripps and Schar´s pace were really exposed. Add Diaby into the mix and they have a very quick front four... Still, if we get the first goal I think we will gather momentum and smash them "a la spurs" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 That game at Villa park was such an abnormally in both our seasons though, Villa peaked that day and only won 3 out the last 7 league games after that, it was just one of them daft games where everything they did worked and we were so far below our usual standards. They are a good team no doubt but if we are looking to compete for the top 4 again you should be expecting to beat Villa at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Eddie Howe and/or Jason Tindall getting a red card in this game for sure. I'm putting a bet on it ASAP. Not allowed more than 1 coach in the technical area anymore and there's some stupid rule about who can stand up in the dugout. Definitely going to cause some issues for alot of coaching staff this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes wont have had enough training time and Gordon needs to be playing whilst his confidence is rocketing and he's playing out his skin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Villa are a really good team but if we have hopes of top 5-6 again then we should be looking at beating them. Whatever happens this game I think we'll finish ahead of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 After current pre-season our midfield three would likliest be bruno, big joe and anderson. Front three being miggy, gordon and Isak. Quite a few to come off the bench also (barnes, tonali, calum, longstaff, murph, miley, target...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 What I think the team will be: Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Bruno Tonali Joelinton Miggy Gordon Isak I think Anderson will be extremely unlucky not to start but Howes weight of trust in Joelinton will win over. Had Longstaff not been injured during pre season, I think he would have started ahead of Tonali. Gordon HAS to start, he's full of confidence and Barnes will have to wait his turn like everyone else. The BIG difference, will be our bench. Chalk and cheese to previous Newcastle squads: Dubravka Lascelles Willock Anderson Longstaff Barnes Wilson Miley Targett Murphy To choose from. Lovely options.
