Newcastle Thread - 2022/23

Now maths wasn't my greatest subject Jim but aren't they 9 clear with same games played?

They are, rags are 7 clear with a game in hand.

We only need you to win a certain home game.

Like the next one and then you can be sat on South Shield beach for the rest of the month!

We only need you to win a certain home game.

We'll be right up for that and the players are taking one game at a time and they usually find a way to win other than against Villa when we were rubbish and everything they tried came off, it was also our third away game in a row so we were travelling or resting rather than working with the players.

Everybody at the club will want to beat Arsenal, the crowd and players will all be up for it and I think it might just be too much for a fragile Arsenal to handle. Howe has the players taking it one game at a time and I really expect that the players will feel that they deserve every point for the remainder of the season, even if we don’t get them all. It’s been a long season where we are close to finishing and determination will play its part.

We’ve won 8 out of the 9 games we’ve played since we lost 2-0 to you and that form is absolutely fantastic. We need to get the first goal against Arsenal to calm any nerves, I think we’ll be fine even if we go a goal behind as we have done too often recently because we seem to find a little bit extra.

I read your posts mate and I can sense the excitement in you.

Fucking brilliant. Welcome to the top 4 and CL at the expense of a team in Red.

Incredible season for them and playing great football to boot.

Should be a big summer coming up as well.

Only downside is get ready for the letters and media demanding you are investigated and your owners booted out of the league from the sad jealous cunts in red.

Bring it on, I love the hate.

Just reading twitter comments, one fan claiming NUFC have much greater history than City, simple google search clearly shows thats not the case, where do these people fet these 'facts' from, Fans used to be mocked when not knowing much about football history. Not now though its all fair game

Some people hear something and then just repeat it as if it was a fact. I remember you playing in the old third division and your support was fantastic yet your crowds are now mocked by some, even though your crowds are fantastic and it must cost a fortune following the club all over Europe and England.

I'm glad you spotted my deliberate mistake.



"TAXI!!!!"

You have had to suffer far too long up there on Tyneside, you have earned your chance to compete at the highest level.

Just stay grounded like most City fans still do and enjoy the good times.

Always had an affinity with the Magpies - 1955 FA Cup Final, 1968 Championship (I was there at St. James's), 1976 League Cup Final (I was there at Wembley).

I'm starting to feel like a kid at Christmas. I've been waiting for it to all blow up every week and that hasn't happened so far. It's time now to enjoy it and to stop expecting the worst, even if it happens.

Villa and Spurs have to win all of their games to overtake us and we'd have to lose all of our five remaining games which is unlikely.

Win our next 2 games against Arsenal and Leeds and Liverpool can only match our points total and our goal difference is better and would improve if we win those two games.

Brighton have a good few games left to play, they probably have the toughest run-in as they have to play Man U, Arsenal, Newcastle, Man City and Villa plus others. If they get maximum points from them games, they would deserve to finish top 4.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

It's quite simple. Would we be supremely confident going to Newcastle this Sunday?

Our 3-3 draw was a great result because we stayed in the game after a poor showing.

We are in a different league to Arsenal, so the rationale suggests our Toon friends can get a result.

Yep arsenal need to drop more points because if they win every game they have left they’ll win the league in my opinion! Just because of the games we have to play away are tough tough games we could easily lose one draw 2 of our remaining away games! That’s a possible 7 points dropped if that happened! I think we will get 87/88 points

I think Arsenal drop points tomorrow vs Chelsea.

We can lose one game and still win the league if arsenal win rest of their game.

Dennis bloody Tueart, he was brough up within sight of what St James is now as you can see the ground from Walker. His goal was deserving of a winners medal and that final defeat didn't hurt for some reason.

What you're all going through now must be fantastic considering the shit you must have had to put up with when Man U were winning everything under Ferguson.

Most fans will stay grounded for us, some of the younger ones might become a bit unbearable, I hope not though as that would be embarrassing. I keep seeing some of them claim that we’re the richest club in the world and we’re not. I’ve seen some of them claim that our fans are the best in the world, we’re not. I wish people like that would go and support somebody else or find another hobby.

I'm sort of the same thinking. Throughout this season, Arsenal have been a team hoping to win it, rather believing they can.

They have been relying on City blowing up and having the earlier lead to get them over the line.

Our next two games are huge in the context of Arsenal also trying to hang in.

Our games because much tougher assignments after Leeds.

I would back us to win at Brentford but the fixtures this week, coupled with Everton and Brighton away, we need a bit more margin for error right now.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Good luck to the Barcodes and they should cement their Top Three spot over the next few days.
When the final table lands and if the Dippers finish fifth they’ll see it was Middle Eastern blood money :-) that prevented them from their rightful place in Europes elite.
Be prepared :-)

Quite fucking right. And who is next? Why
don't the Qatari's see sense and buy a mid-table club with potential instead of the redshirts?

Knock another one down :)

I can't see you dropping another point. your toughest game might be against Chelsea as they have some good players and at some point you would expect them to put in a good performance, they might also see you as a scalp to take. You've got them at home which helps and you will have got your semi-final out of the way by then.

You've got too much for both Brighton and Brentford, even if they are away from home. Leeds and Everton will not get close to hurting you.

The Fulham game yesterday we could easily drawn! Everton Brighton Brentford away ain’t easy! Us city fans don’t take any game for granted we see a loss in every game..[emoji1]

I see them getting no more than 86 points personally, with draws against Newcastle and Brighton. 4 more wins (maybe 3 depending on Arsenal's desire) and its ours.
