How about an avatar and user name bet? I'm saying Newcastle don't finish top 5 never mind 4 ? The loser keeps the avatar and user name all next season ? Let's see if you have faith .. just a bit a fun mate.
If we lose this game we're still a mere 4 points off the top 4 with 23 games to play. Why the defeatism at this stage? City, Arsenal and Liverpool will obviously be in the top 4, but last place is up for grabs. Chelsea ain't getting it, not are Man U, and it looks tough for Spurs. Villa are looking good now, but we could easily pop them for the last place. I'm fine with predictions without ending up with a name like that Lovearsenalcock guy as a result of them. My prediction right now would be probably 5th, with a chance of 4th depending on the injury turnaround and signings in Jan.
I understand mathematically it won't be over. I don't think this 11 will get through until February without falling off and losing a few games. Are you taking the bet ? I'm interested to see how much you believe in yourself.
I've never had an avi and never changed my name, but yes I'll bet for 5th or 4th. Remember players starting to come back now, with the majority back by Jan plus new signings to come in, the 11 will look different come Feb.
Does anyone stick to these bets? I mean the username is supposed to be for a season, but Munson changes his username like socks.
This will be a match too far. This 11 is capable of smashing the tits out of Everton but the tiredness is bound to set in. Fortunately neither Chelsea or Man U provided much of a test so they may not be too knackered but Everton will come flying out the blocks and it'll cause issues. If we score first, we can manage the game. As the match progresses at 0-0 we will fade. It is what it is. The fact we are so high up despite the injuries is a miracle
This is a tough away game and if Newcastle aren't at their best they'll get nowt. I've been watching Everton and they should most definitely have beaten most of the home games but they simply fluff too many chances. Their XG is right up there. Howe will be aware.
XG means **** all if you don't score. If Man Utd had gotten a draw vs Us at St James that wouldn't have been an injustice, it would have been our fault for not scoring more chances. Everton create chances but their finishing is ****, especially at home. They do better away from home because the pressure is off and they sit deeper and counter.
It's almost like people underestimate home advantage. Let's hope Newcastle can grind out a rare away win.
Everton's defence and attack are both pretty ****e, last season everything went through Iwobi, this time they're reliant on Doucoure and Gueye. Just snuff those 2 out and we should be able to go all out on their crappy defence.
Our away games have been hard like - City, Brighton, West Ham, Wolves, then depleted against Bournemouth. The only nice one has been Sheff utd. But I agree this will be a tough game. I think we may nick it though. No excuse, Everton are just as tired as us
