Newcastle fans are reading Bluemoon and thinking we're all shitting it. Fuck off.

We have our share of wet willies granted, but most blues are bullish and believe we will thrash the barcodes tomorrow.

Tough match after playing in a Sauna in Athens on Wednesday and Newcastle having half a week extra to recover prior to the game
Pep was spot on with his sarcasm directed at the EPL fixture connittee.
Can't see us winning to be honest
Whether we draw or lose is the question i think. Pep needs to play with a double pivot tomorrow and let Newcastle have more possession and hit them on the break.

Helen sucked glass out of my hand when I was 18 years old. After a brick came through the window of our coach at Anfield. Top girl.

I hope we use the same tactic that destroyed Arsenal. It might need to be deployed more this season without a creative ball player. Need to focus on getting the ball to Haaland quickly and then settling back into our possession game.

Good call.

Obviously it’ll be a tough game. Even with a fully fit squad and a whole week to prepare. Newcastle are a top 4 side nowadays as we all know.

It’s up to Pep and his team to come up with a plan to try and get 3 points. We ARE at home and last season we very rarely dropped points.

Can we do it? Ofcourse we can !!

 

[Keeper!]

Very big game and not in the best of shape to take it on.

A real test of character this one and that's one thing we can't be questioned on.

Why can’t Bernie play today?

 

[GSW Blue]

Newcastle are a decent side but they are being made out to be world beaters on the back of beating Villa at home in a game that was wide open at times.

Regardless of who starts for City we will have 11 winners on the pitch who will be more than a match for the Geordies.

Why can’t Bernie play today?

Been sick, apparently.

Wonder if it’s COVID?!
