Lee On Solent Saint

Bit of a piss take when they have fielded a second string eleven for all the previous rounds. Sniff of a cup and suddenly Klopp is all over it

Ah! Trust the FA to make an exception!

They allowed MK Dons

Agree with that. I can't stand United but it does seem since Ferguson retired they have been searching for a new identity. Maybe they should have stuck with Moyes a bit longer.

Surely only covid cases should be taken into account. Injuries are part and parcel of the game. Premier league squads are big enough to cope. Am sure Newcastle have only had a nominal amount of covid cases,which is what should be the only cause to have matches called off.

Think Newcastle's next scheduled league game is against Watford. Should be interesting assuming they don't try and get it called off.

Think it's more about their style of play and the way Sean Dyche never gives any credit to opposing teams when they beat Burnley. Also can't stand Ashley Barnes either, for me he just typifies them as a team.

I think the only team I don't mind at the moment is Norwich. Crystal Palace are pretty non offensive too. Probably top five disliked for me would be Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd, Brighton and Newcastle. Burnley just on the edge.

Exactly. Aren't they also counting staff members in as well? Who gives a fuck if the data analyst can't watch the game at the ground.

Will a club that gets relegated instead of Newcastle have a case against the Premier League? The cheque book power they have in the window should ensure that they stay up. If it doesn't then Howe is a worse manage then we all thought

I cannot believe that they aren't able to field a team. It's utter bollocks.

Cheating fuckin bastards. Nobody gave a shit last season when we were struggling to put out a competitive starting 11

I think the biggest compliment I can give JWP is that I didn't even realise PEH was playing.

We a know Ralph likes a record. Perhaps he is going all out for that record of goals conceded in the Premier League in a calender year. Only need three to beat it

I know it's different set of circumstances but nobody gave a shit when we were reduced to naming under 23's in the first team and on the bench last year. Fed up with hearing about how the clubs aren't managing it when it was barely mentioned last year when we were struggling for fit players. It will be a real kick in the teeth for the other clubs in the bottom half if Newcastle are allowed to postpone any games this side of the transfer window. Gives them a huge advantage.

Can't stand Brighton. Rather Brentford win.

Getting fuckin boring now. Every fuckin game

With you on the line up. Only change I would have liked to see is Perraud to start. Fancy us for a point here.

He's the England captain. Can't have him sent off for two footed challenges.

I meant we say sorry not apologise

Sorry

Not sure about that. Have you seen some of the names that have been put out that they have been linked too? All well and good having cash to burn, but they aren't in the most attractive of positions to attract big names. I know money talks but is Dembele really going to swap Barcelona for Newcastle?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Newcastle make a move for him. They are going to need players like him in January. He'll certainly be more reliable for Howe than the likes of Amiron and Joelintion

I'd actually go 541 and just try and be as solid as we possibly can. Tell Lyanco to follow Zaha wherever he goes, get in his face and hope he sees the red mist. Actually play Perraud at left back instead of this shit with KWP there. Put KWP back over on the right and give Tino a rest. JWP and Romeo in the centre, Redmond on the right and Djenpo on the other side if he is fit. No idea who is fit for up top, maybe start with Tella as a willing runner or failing that, Long, who might at least be able to hold the ball up.

Exactly. Without De Gea Norwich get something from that game
