Manchester United vs. Newcastle United: 30/12/24 @ 20:00 (Live on Sky Sports)

[Holloway]

Can't see many folk saying we will walk this except, funnily enough, over on Red Cafe 

[mattypnufc]

Into these glory hunting, Ferguson shagging, majority of them plastic, self entitled fucking cunts.

Yes it'll be tough, we're away against a massive club. They might well win but in my mind the aura, the spell they've had over me as a fan for 30+ years is broken. No longer am I writing the match off before kickoff and just waiting to see how many we lose by.

Tino back for this? Can’t be dealing with another Trippier disasterclass.

Howe expected him to be back from illness in his post match Villa interview

[Big Geordie]

Pressure is all on them tomorrow. Our lads have to ignore the media hype and play our own game.

Totally agree, I'm very hopeful and quietly confident.Can't wait 👊🏼

[STM]

Normally I'd urge caution but I'm really struggling to see where Man Utd can get any joy against us.

 

They will struggle stop giving us chances. They won't dominate our midfield.

 

The only slight area,  is dealing with their pace in transitions.

“Are they good in set pieces?”

“Doesn't matter, all they have to do is cross the ball somewhere in our penalty area and they'll score”

 

”With Jason Tindall being sent off on Boxing Day, at least we'll be spared having the cameras focused on him for half of the game”  

  Stick him in the away end! 

[TRon]

My only concern is us. If we have bought into the media hype that Man U are dead men walking, then we might have a problem.

 

If it's the same hungry, confident Newcastle team of the last couple of weeks we win.

We've done alright with that recently. Diallo is the one that worries me though, he's the only one they've got in any form .

[Doctor Zaius]

Im probably as confident for this as I was for the West Ham game, so yeah...

Eddie won’t let that happen, and will take nothing for granted. Our run of form, new midfield and growing self belief should help. Old Trafford or not, Manure’s self belief and run of form is going in the opposite direction. An early goal for us and the crowd will be rattled and ready to turn! But still it’s football and anything could happen 

[wormy]

I can't deny that I sure do feel uncomfortable at the amount some have revelled in Man U's misery the last few weeks.

In the name of all things historic, just stop ✋  

[Andy84]

Nervous for this.  All this confidence, even from their fans that we’ll win, football just doesn’t work like that especially with our record there.   And it’s “under the lights” at OT

[christ]

I was convinced we were going to smash them last year and we were flat as a fart.

 

I’d snap your hand off for a spawny 1-0.

[HaydnNUFC]

Not confident at all personally, based purely off our record against the ‘big 6’ clubs away from SJP recently. Lost all of them convincingly last season, and have only won 1 in the last 19.

 

Would love a convincing performance and win.

I’m confident but I don’t think we’ll ever shake the old fear against teams like Man Utd. Like I said before, based on all evidence we should win. 

[Beren]

Any news on Tino?

[SUPERTOON]

4 points from the next two games should be the target imo. Would love a win here, just can’t see it though.

[J7]

Assuming we don’t do something stupid and get a man sent off, I won’t be happy if we don’t win this one. We’re on brilliant form and they’re as low as they’ve been in decades, with their captain out. We really need to be beating them.

[Pixelphish]

Don't even view this lot as a football club. Just a corporate entity and vehicle to sell a load of tat to people around the world.

 

Hope we demolish them.

Anything less than 3 get Mourinho in.

Shit, though this was today for some reason.

Yeah it’s feeling a bit like pre-West Ham. I hope we aren’t over confident and that we are aggressive from the kickoff. We should dominate a midfield of Eriksen and Casemiro.
