Newcastle United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: 01/09/24 @ 13:30 (Sky Sports)

[Gallowgate Toon]

Weirdly confident we'll get another positive result. 3-1.

[WilliamPS]

If Barnes isn’t RW I’d prefer Miggy to Murphy and use Trips/Tino for the width. I’d go Trips as I think the team needs his on pitch leadership, especially the back four.
 

I think we’ll see Longstaff starting with Tonali off the bench, but if Tonali is ready I’d stick him in, Howe will have taken a view there.

 

 

[BonesJones]

Am I right thinking if we win tomorrow 4-0 and Liverpool draw then we go 2nd?

 

I know it's early days but would be nice to be right at that end of the table as soon as possible.

[Pilko]

I'd imagine Howe will tell the players in no uncertain terms that the disappointment of the transfer window can't be an excuse to feel sorry for themselves, to get out there and show everyone that we're a fucking good team as is.

 

Worry a bit about the early Sunday kickoff meaning the atmosphere will be flat as a witch's tit, but Spurs tend to drop their arses in this fixture and Ange's style means there'll be plenty space for Isak, Gordon etc.

 

3-1 win.

[SUPERTOON]

Just about to set off for this now, can’t wait.

 

3-1 win and forget about the window.

[SiLvOR]

Making the pilgrimage up north now, can't wait to share the train with all the spurs fans my fault for being in North London like

[Oregon_Geordie]

There today, ready to get behind the Eddie and the lads. Few beers and off we go... W 2-0.

[ExiledGeordie]

Hope coming up on talksprt talking about the match and no doubt recent troubles 😂😂

Given how much we’ve looked second best against lesser opposition im not too confident about today. Anything can happen though. 
 

Will go for an optimistic 2-0 but wouldn’t be surprised to get a hiding. 

[Dr Venkman]

Thank fuck for this game of football. Sandro to have a stormer and an Isak hat trick.

[Jill]

Fully convinced it'll be a class game as I'll be at a meal for my auntie's birthday after the first 15 minutes so I won't see the rest. 

[Infatuation Junkie]

1-3 with under 40% possession 

[Zero]

Luckily this is our home game. I think Howe and the players know how important this game is. 2-1 close game

That's the spirit!

Krafth and Burn as the two CBs makes me think we'll not win this.

Your sacrifice is noted. 

[Scoot]

Really nervous about this game. Could really kick start our season but with everything that's gone on last few days, it could add to our woes.

 

Come on lads, home win.

I can’t muster up a positive result. I wish I could. I just don’t see it.

 

Rather post the truth instead of using rose tinted glasses for this one.

 

Would love to hammer them. But how we have played so far this season. I can’t fathom out how we are going to beat them.

The betting companies who do this for a living think its going to be an even game. The truth is that you are being overly pessimistic.

This for me, neither are particularly good with the ball and playing it out from the back. This could be a frustrating watch yet again. Going for a 3-1 loss, sorry.

[TheBrownBottle]

I’m going for 3-2 to NUFC.  Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet with that back line, but can see our midfield and forwards clicking for the first big challenge of the season

I never bother looking at the table until around the end of September tbh.  Doesn’t mean owt at this stage. 

[Menace]

3-1. Isak masterclass.

[Keegans Export]

I'm hoping that the first game back at SJP for Tonali will ensure a good atmosphere early on. If our intensity is back that should keep it going.

 

I'd be tempted to get Kelly in at CB, he's shown much more quality on the ball than Burn or Krafth but I can't see Howe going for it. I'd also go Gordon-Isak-Barnes as a front three but again I'm not expecting it.

 

We have to come out of this with some positives. If we play well and come up short, it's something to build on. Three points will see us 4th (for a couple of hours anyway) and hopefully build some confidence. 

[CheikBoom]

3-1 win today. They'll probably dominate the ball, but the high line is there to exploite. They really struggled last season up here with Son at CF. Great player but struggles to hold onto the ball.
