jamie redknapp's thoughts on us!

http://www.skysports.com/opinion/story/0,,18932_7290797,00.html

Really surprised with what he has said!!! and has admitted he was wrong about us!

 

In your face Redknapp

 

Big of him to just admit he was wrong. Lawro and Hansen will no doubt be coming up with excuses for us all season rather than admit they were wrong.

 

I look forward to reading Paul Merson's.

 

I do not.

 

good read,

a lot of the pundits are admitting they were wrong about us. But honestly, how many of us thought the same.

The ones that get me are the lawro's of this world who still say we've been untested, rided our luck and the bubble will burst.

 

Merson's is up,has us down for a draw and is very complimentary of us.

The thing is though he still pulls out the 'we'll know what they're about after Chelsea', untested thing again. Looking at the table even if we lose all three 7th is still a realistic position to be in after playing the top three.

However Tottenham will have yet play to Chelsea, Arsenal haven't played City, and some of those three are yet to play each other. Are they untested?

 

That must have pushed him over the edge knowing one day he will have to put us down as a draw

Eh there wasnt one

 

It seems to me that a few people are now shifting from bashing the team to slowly getting in digs at the fans now. I for one don't think we'll easily beat Everton, but I'd say we've got half a chance.

 

A more reasoned assesment from Redknap and as said before, big of him to admit it un like some of the other clowns

Mersons changed his tune as well and has a bit more reasoning to it:

Ford Football Special: Newcastle v Everton
12.30pm, Sat, Sky Sports HD2
Newcastle have been absolutely outstanding so far this season. I haven't seen any team go to the Britannia Stadium and make Stoke look as ordinary as they did on Monday night.

I've never seen their supporters so flat and that was all down to Newcastle's work rate and team ethic. Every one of those players knows their job and they play to a shape. Leon Best is a great example; he's not a top-class centre-forward, but he works his socks off and leads from the front.

I'm not saying they'll get into Europe, but they remind me of how Everton played in the year they finished fourth. They always seem to score the first goal, which is very important, and they make their opponents chase the game.

My only fear is that St James' Park will be packed full of fans thinking they'll win this game easily. The Newcastle supporters deserve to enjoy their team's form, but it's important they stay with them for the whole 90 minutes, even if they go behind.

You have to remember that Everton are a very good team, even though they've not been getting the results to prove it. They've had some tough fixtures lately, but I'm sure David Moyes will send them out full of confidence because player for player they're as good as their opponents.

Their big problem is going forward. They haven't had the money to go out and buy a top 20-goal-a-season striker and that's been the case for a long time. You can't rely on someone like Tim Cahill to score 15 goals from midfield every year and with Louis Saha injured so often, they haven't got a gifted goalscorer. They don't make a lot of chances and they need someone who can put away one in three of those.

They'd love someone like Demba Ba in their team. Tony Pulis reckons his knee is like a time bomb waiting to explode, but I reckon he's already paid back his transfer fee at Newcastle.

However, I see a draw here. Both teams will work hard at blocking each other out and it should be fairly close.

PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1

 

If we get a 1-1 draw I will be a very happy man come Saturday lunchtime!!

 

Good read. I'm not too worried about Man U, Man C and Chelsea to be honest. Our run to the end of the calender year isn't bad after those games.

Norwich (A) - 1 point
Swansea (H) - 3 points
WBA (H) - 3 points
Bolton (A) - 1 point
Liverpool (A) - 0 points

So even if we lost all three games v Man U, Man C and Chelsea - we could still have 30 points (more if we add in 1 or 3 points v Everton) come the end of December. And I've been a little conservative there in the Bolton / Norwich match, both of which we are capable of winning.

Bring it on!

 

Why no points against Liverpool? I know it's at Anfield, but I could still see us upsetting them!

 

Id be surprised if we dont score against Chelsea

 

We could get a draw there, but as I said I'm putting a conservative picture forward.

As above, conservatively we should get 30/33 points by the end of the year BUT we could get more. Chelsea for example could easily be a draw.

 

Mediocre player retracts on mediocre opinion shocker.

Can't stand any of the Redknapp family.

 

I like Jamie R - he looks so good in a suit my lass doesn't mind watching the footy and League Of Their Own!

 

We will get ****ing slaughtered against Everton now hes wrote this

 

Was an alright read, but I'm sick of some so called "experts" underestimating the ability of some of our players individually.
