I was reading through the thread and for a second I was worried no-one had picked that up. Maybe Princess Beatrice or whoever it was left MITO for Arteta? That would explain his feelings. Then to cope with the loss he organised his lesbian Russian army which he's now had to abandon because of the sanctions so he spends his days sitting in front of the TV shouting at Arsenal matches and royal weddings.
nah it's just an autocorrect form however i smashed the keys to type loser on my phone. the Russian lesbian commandos were liquidated (seems the favoured term of both sides in this war) the second they turned out to be ardent nazis.
Newcastle form DDWDDD - Unbeaten but... Bournemouth , west Ham, Palace, arsenal leeds. Thats 4 of the 5 draws in games a side in 4th should be putting away. thats 8 out of 18 points. Just below top 4 form. (7.5/12 = 10/16) Liverpool Form WLLDLW - pretty ****ing lousy. Losses to wolves, brighton, brentford and craw to chelsea. Now... TBH I did expect the fitter and better sides to beat us but the loss to wolves was rubbish. thats 7/18 points which is nowhere near good enough. If I were honest and looking at this game a few short week ago i would be saying exactly what i said v brentford. (not Brighton) I predicted a loss then as brentord were going to run us off the park. Newcastle have or had all the attirbutes to run us off the park. Its not going to be brighton bad, just cos i don't see newcastle scoring lots but its going to be tough. I outlined what I saw in the long list of games newcastle have come through (game every 3/4 days with league cup/fa cup etc) I think there WERE tired. They had their first break of a week last week and drew but now they've a second week to catch their breath. I expect a high press and an organised back line for newcaslte. I do think there will be space behind if we choose to exploit it. I do think however we will just cough up something stupid again. Matip and gomez are just liable to do it at any second. apply a bit of pressure from a decent press and the numbers go through the roof on that risk.
who the people who fall foul of autocorrect or the people who enjoy mass killings? You'd know i expect
Now: For the betting person. 1. more than 2.5 goals 2. Dan burn to score 3. nunez to miss a sitter The most likely score lines are 2-1 and 1-0 for newcaslte and 2-1 liveprool. I'm going for 2-1 so >2.5 goals.
Newcastle Injuries/suspensions Manquillo (no loss) Guimaraes - suspended - big loss Targett - some sort of ankle knock - doubtful?? Wilson - hamstring - 50/50? I kind of expect to see this guy in. Lascelles - someone might be able to clarify this one but its reported he is out in the summer so has been absent from squad but shoudl be available?? Almiron- some sort of little pinky of something. should be fit no issue Saint-maximin - reported and some sort of knock to knee. also expected to be fit to play Willock - hamstring - being reported as out Krafth- acl last august So predicting a line up here might be difficult Pope Trippier Schaar -Botman (i cannot see he is injured in news) Burn Longstaff Joelinton ??? Almiron Wilson Saint maximin (Isak and gordon to come on here later) A lot of players there just carrying a knock or something back so that might give a little hope they might not be at their best
Liverpool injuries/suspensions thiago - preliminary target is to cost us the CL second leg by returning mid march Diaz - Also targetting looking half fit for the second leg of CL mid march Arthur - nobody ****ing cares. Konate - taregetting Real madrid midweek. (doubtful for that if not in this squad) So this really brings us to the point of wondering will we risk players with real Madrid round the corner or not. this means jota and vvd. Surely at some point vvd has to come in to play to knock some level of rust off for real? My guess based on who is klopps main man and the fact he's been training all week is this. Alisson Trent Matip VVD Roberston (i wouldn't keep matip in, i think he will throw one in but the alternaitve is gomez and he might throw on in easily) Henderson Fabinho?? Bajcetic This is really worrying for me. We got a game into fabinho and he looks utterly treacle footed. Its fabinho or keita i am guessing Salah Gakpo Nunez (think this will start and jota and firmino will come on. I just feel we are about 70% there and one bloody buy last january would have had us ****ing much ****ing bloody better ah well.
we still have not sacrificed anyone. I think the bloody murder of a fellow red might be more important tan 10 pages of waffle.
