Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Newcastle

[S40BLADE]

He's such an "anti-football" manager. Considering he's got Almiron and Saint-Maximin, you'd think he would play quite expansive football, but he doesn't.

Last season at BL we were the better team but couldn't break them down. Same with the 0-0 v pigs, 11 men behind the ball.

I was watching them vs. Arsenal other day, 6-3-1 formation. Look at state of this:

If they setup like that, we'll never break through them

Sadly were not too different...

 

[Pedro Verde]

Bruce has to go if they dont beat us

I remember us once getting rid of a Newcastle manager ex pig Jack Charlton
We played them in a friendly at their place we won and he resigned after the match
Can also remember them demonstrating after the game in the PL when we beat them with a Danny Webber goal

According to Bruce they are now moving away from in his words 'sitting deep and playing off a low block' and are trying to get more players higher up the pitch. Will be interesting to see if this is actually true tomorrow.

Cheers Roygbiv appreciated as always mate️️

I wouldn't say he's done us everytime. 2 wins with Toon and then the draws with Villa and the Pigs since we pumped him at the lane.

I agree he seems to have got our tactics figured out though.

Not hard, we ain’t got any.

What the Geordies don’t know is that since our last league game I’ve had a few bets based on our failure. I’ve got a few Newcastle to win score lines plus I had the ‘won’t win all season’ bet. As I never win a bet I’m hoping this reverse psychology does the trick.

[blade too long]

We might not have turned a corner but we put the indicator on

United beat Newcastle tomorrow, Bruce sacked Wednesday, takes Fowles job Thursday, couldn't make it up, fact is stranger than fiction.
Thank you, Roy.

if only we had a Nathan Blake , he destroyed barcodes in 94

 

[Crafty Blade]

I don't really like Newcastle United. Their fans seem to fall into the same bracket as Leeds and pig fans.

Thanks Roy, Not what I expected at all!
Bookies are going to do well with all the Blades betting on Newcastle and all the Magpies betting on us

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Bruce has shown he's got the measure of us.
Done twice by them last season.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Lived amongst them for 4 years and , after Wednesday, there's no team I'd rather beat.

Not even "Loids Yoo Naah Ted?"

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Getting bored of being a banana skin every week, especially as the potential is never realised.

It was against Brizzle Rovers.
Underdog won.
