The Race for 4th

[El flaco]

Money does tend to be a good motivator.

I’m sure we could have a whip round on here as well and top that up

 

[FOK]

Do we know how the Geordies are injury wise?

what kinda team they'll play?

Dubravka

Trippier ---- Schaar ------- Burn ------ Targett (Ritchie?)

Fraser---- Joelinton----- Bruno

ASM ---- Wilson ----- Almiron?



I believe - Willock and Shelvey are out.
Subs
Darlow (GK)
Krafth
Wood
Lascelles
Gayle
Longstaff
Clarke

something like that?

God I can't believe the effort that went into this.

we're not even fucking playing ffs

 

[This Fish]

Wilson should be able to play a decent amount of minutes, might even start, same for Trippier. With those two in the side instead of Plank and Slice I'd fancy us. Last home game, fans are well up for it, want to finish high up the table, always nice to play a part in preventing a team succeed.

Best case scenario for me; Newcastle to beat Woolwich to get to 46pts and the highest points tally since our return. Then, lose narrowly to Burnley while Leeds snatch a win at Brentford and Woolwich put 5 past Everton to send them, and Fat Frank, down.

Records are made to be broken

So was Woolwich

Pretty much, but Fraser is out, so it'll likely be that back 4, Bruno, Joelinton and Longstaff in the middle, ASM, Wilson and Almiron ahead of them.

Howe might switch it up and play a 4-4-2 keeping Longstaff on the bench and having Wood and Wilson up front, but I doubt it.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

I wish I hadn't, but I looked up Newcastle Vs Woolwich stats.

We're going to need a miracle for Newcastle to get anything out of tonight.

In the last 20 games between them......... Woolwich have won 18!!! 1 draw and just 1 win for the barcodes.

That has to be one of the worst records in the Premier league between 2 sides. Even our record against Liverpool is better than that.

1 win and 1 draw for Newcastle in the last 20 games against Woolwich!!!

I didn't realise it was that bad.

 

[Bazali]

I would love to see Richarlison get a solid kick in the face.

Then he'd have something to cry about.

I read somewhere that we’re linked to him

Not my first choice tbf

Seems to have a bad attitude

 

[Shadydan]

Can't say we haven't tried

 

[Bazali]

Cmon Newcastle....let's do this. Time to summon up the spirit of Ant and Dec, Alan Shearer, Cheryl Cole and Byker Grove and put it all on the line

And Wor Jackie

 

[Bazali]

would be nice indeed

Nice yes but I always want that shower to lose every game

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

It’s not just about Newcastle either, Woolwich will be nervy and that may be a big factor. Plus I just feel like Woolwich will get bad luck because when you own bad luck like Artetta did in his interview instead of admitting they were shit, players start to believe the story, that ref is against them etc.

It'd be fucking hilarious if the refs didn't take too kindly to his post-match comments and did their best to actually screw them tonight.

Plenty of 'home' decisions please.

A nice 1-0 Newcastle win courtesy of a very dodgy penalty would be lovely.

 

[rhenkt]

Feels like one of those games where they’ll have a huge atmosphere and give it a real go in the first half for their fans, but ultimately won’t care too much about the result.

 

[JimothyCF14]

A nice 1-0 Newcastle win courtesy of a very dodgy penalty would be lovely.

I hope Jonjo Shelvey rugby tackles Odegaard, runs the length of the pitch with the ball in his hands, throws it in the net and the ref gives the goal.

Just for the tears.

 

[AudereEstFacere]

Plenty of 'home' decisions please.

But this time, legohead decides to tell the truth for once in his managerial career post match about the refs, gets a suspension, misses the Everton match, they get thrashed, I run a bath much like the Dead Sea from the Woolwich tears.

 

[VonnegutBusy]

That's plenty to trouble this flakey Woolwich side.

 

[kcspurs]

I want to see them go at Woolwich

Toon ought to go after them, their back line is a mess. They will be thinking that they can goals and get a win here. No use in them playing to draw at home when they're safe.

if they win tonight I'm going to have Longstaff / Wood up front

 

[simon j]

was chatting to a Palace fan back on the train back from the match. They know he'll leave at some stage, obvious. If I was Viera I'd aim higher than goons. Would probably be in the mix for when Pep leaves City if he carries on doing good things at CPFC

Better for viera if palace beat Everton who have to then beat Woolwich and thus make arteta look bad and aid chance of viera taking over…… if arteta had not just signed a new deal…..
