Premier League Games 4/5/6 January 2025

[stan bowles]

Something not right about this Newcastle team. Get away with constant fouling and seem to get the benefit of the marginal decisions like Burn's just there but then they've got clodders like Joelinton kicking and elbowing anything that moves. But they also fall over when barely touched e.g. Gordon and Guimares.

If the ref did his job pproperly Newcastle would be down to 9 men already.

 

[MCFC1993]

Isak has to score, Gordon would have had a tap in too.

 

[jollylescott]

It’s well nigh impossible for a keeper when he’s surrounded by about eight players all shoving one another, prior to a corner.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

If someone gets sent off here, would they miss the semi of the league cup this week?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Spurs lol

 

[MCFC1993]

Newcastle in front.

Ignoring that they should be down to 10 men, they are a decent side. 5 or 6 players I'd have here.

 

[skillman]

Newcastle full of players who excel in their roles because of how they play. Murphy, Joelinton - perfect for how they play.

He’s a snide ****, but fair fucks go Joelinton and in particular, Howe, for his transformation. He was dog shit at first. That white dog shit from the 80s and 90s that you don’t see anymore.

 

[gray740]

These officials are utter shite how did they miss that corner ffs

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I wonder what Gordon asks for at the barbers?

 

[skillman]

Wish we’d just bitten the release clause bullet for Bruno G in the Summer.

 

[.db.]

When everyone’s fit for Newcastle they’re a top side. I reckon they’ve got a better strongest XI than Arsenal.

Could be a slogan for Reform, bring back white dog shit!

“2 back and sides dead ferret on top please mate”

Hall, Livromento, Guimaraes, Tonali, Gordon and Isak. I'd have all 6 here.

I think they call it a ‘chipped mullet’. It’s cut badly on purpose.

My barber refuses to do it when young lads ask for it.

I bet Tonali would sign…

Hall, Livromento, Guimaraes, Tonali, Gordon and Isak. I'd have all 6 here.

Looking at both team, only the two centre halves and Saka from Arsenal get into Newcastle’s strongest team.

Chelsea, I reckon only Palmer gets in ahead of Murphy.

They just lack depth. When they had to rely on the same players for the PL+CL last season, they struggled to keep the high quality performances going twice a week. They picked up a few injuries and couldn’t finish in the Top4 again.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Looks like Spurs are making the most of their mid-season break including resting players to ensure they are in good order (prime Barcelona) for when they play City on the 25th February.
