⚽ Newcastle Utd 1-1 West Ham Utd (4/2/23)

[Lord Zoltan]

I don't want to see Cresswell's name anywhere near the starting lineup!

You think Kehrer would get targeted!!!!

[hammerman11]

whoever we pick at the back they will target ! kehrer,cresswell, johnson, coufal, ogbonna emerson

why didnt we get another CB in so that kehrer in central defence is not an option?

hopefully we catch newcastle after the lord mayors show, our only hope.

[simon hammer]

I'm going for a highly surprising 1-2 away win, smash and grab stylee!!!

[hammerman11]

hope so.

[Billbobtrev]

I still think man for man our squads just as good at theirs. Full backs apart . If Moyes goes for the win I'd fancy us to pull it off . The worry is he will set us up not to lose . And that's been our downfall since November 2021.

[hammerman11]

on paper maybe but on the pitch we are awful and well behind them. if they play to form they will destroy us

apart from rice augerd and maybe bowen who would get into there side ?

[Bond Holder 59]

Like Simon, I can see us getting a win. It's the perfect time given their distractions and our up turn. In fact I've gone big and I have 50p at evens with my barcode neighbour. Loser buys the biscuits as well. This is knife edge stuff guys. I'll have to eat humble pie, and crap biscuits, for almost two days if we lose. Then we'll both forget about the game and go back to bashing the BBC.

[the pink palermo]

Think we will get at least a point here.

[Mega Ron]

5-0 home win.

[JLCABA]

Disagree but even so why even compare them? Moyes plays them in different positions anyway

I was comparing abilities not necessarily positions
One can pass
Looks quality on the ball
Excites me the way he plays forward
And doesn’t follow every inevitable three times a game failure to control the ball with an inane thumbs up to the person who has played an inch perfect 50 yard ball to him

The other is Fornals

[JLCABA]

Rant over
1-1 we score first

Have you got a list of CBs we could have signed?

[Bubbles Fortuna]

Goals have dried up for Newcastle and they're missing their best midfielder. Only one way this goes.

3-0 Newcastle. Sean Longstaff becomes a Lampard, Gerrard, Carrick Hybrid for one game.

Please don’t start him off…

[Tezza65]

You must have posted this without looking at the fixtures of those below us.

Southampton: Brentford (A), Wolves (H), Chelsea (A)

Everton: Arsenal (H), Liverpool (A), Leeds (H)

Bournemouth: Brighton (A), Newcastle (H), Wolves (A)

Wolves: Liverpool (H), Southampton (A), Bournemouth (H)

I can't see Southampton getting 4 more points than us, Everton getting 3 more points than us, Bournemouth have it slightly easier but Wolves looks the only likely points there for them, and Wolves play two of the others.

Absolutely no chance we're bottom after the next three.

For us to be even talking about relegation is a bloody disgrace.It shouldn't be in our vocabulary this season. Mismanagement by all at the club.

Eddie Howe has certainly got Longstaff playing very very well
I expect he will be in the England squad before long

Do bears **** in the woods....Of course he does!

It's tattooed on his scrotum.

It must be as long as a jockeys bollox then

[RichV WHUFC]

This feels like a major game to me, if we can get a draw following our recent better results, I think it will have a dramatic effect on our season overall and I think we'll go into the Chelsea game fancying it. Sadly I can't see anything other than a routine Newcastle win.
