Given how bad our away form is this season, this game is no longer a shoe-in. Anything but, in fact. It shouldn't be the case but lose this and I could see a section of the fanbase losing faith in Eddie. Not wanting him out per se, but just jumping on any setback going forward with a wild over-reaction. Times might have changed but, like it or not, this is still our biggest game of the season. We can't lose this match, not when we have such an obvious upper hand on the field...and definitely not when they've basically given us their entire home end. I said this the other day to a friend that if we somehow lose this all the foundations that Howe has built up could come crashing down. This is an absolute must not lose and if we do it could be an absolute disaster for him, lets be honest if we somehow did lose wed never live the fucker down. We should be going absolute full strength and looking to smash them with no remorse really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Maybe we've decided to pull out of the competition given knackers have wrote off the season following two defeats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should give you a good game and provided we don't concede early and implode it might be tight, but I would expect the extra quality to shine through in the end.

magvicar Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I have absolutely no worries about the Sunderland game. I absolutely and honestly believe we will get the job done with relative ease. Why do I think this? Because when we get drawn against lower opposition we tend to struggle because we take the games far too easy and appear to think we only have to turn up. Added to that is the minnow team's die for the cause attitude. This game will be different for us because we will be going there fully focused and under no illusions because the local lads will absolutely spell it all out for the rest. They know the minnow team (Sunderland) will die for the cause just like all the other minnows but Goliath (Newcastle United) will slay little David (Sunderland) when David (Sunderland) realises a tiny pebble in his sling will simply bounce off Goliath and the return swat of Goliath's will put David to sleep for good. The result will be Sunderland 1 Newcastle United 7. End of story. Save this post and see if I'm right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a bit of a fantasy really i expect us to win with ease and score 3 or 4 with a full strength 11 out...............any more than 4 on their own patch would be fucking outrageous and something theyd never be able to forget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of us as football fans are fickle and things can change in the game very quickly you can go from hero to zero in a quick time. Mourinho at Chelsea being an example of it Im not by any means saying it will happen im just saying that if we did somehow lose the game the fallout could be massive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll collectively be able to see the bigger picture, which is you know, Eddie Howe getting us to the Champions League and all that. One potential loss against a side in the Championship play-offs will be painful but no way will it result in Howe getting the sack. I think you're fucking mental.

Bizarre take not sure why anyone would claim that. Would be Howes biggest loss after the cup final I think so guess managers are some times judged on those types of games. Don't think it would effect his standing too much at Newcaslte however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fountain Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If we finish 4th, win the League Cup, get the the knock outs of the CL and lose to the Mackems in the 3rd round it's been an incredible season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
