This game is more important than Barcelona tbh... Newcastle are still capable of making the next phase of the champions league, but we don't really want to be losing much more ground in the top 6 race.
It's been a difficult run of games and we've come up short in the main, but hopefully they can win this one.
Bournemouth away is now one of the most difficult games of the season and I'm not feeling particularly confident about it.

Lose this game and it’s been a poor start to the season.
Cant argue with that fact.
Win and it’s an ok start to the season.
I don’t want to see Gordon up front ever again. It’s pointless. Literally.

Predictions for my acca bet:
Start with same 11 as against Barca
5-0 defeat
Bruno gets a red card - 3 match ban
Tonali gets injured - out for 3 months
Woltemade injured - out for 4 weeks
Schar gets a head injury - out for 3 weeks
Gordon to miss 3 open goal chances
Barnes to not get a single shot or pass on target
Trippier to hit 7 corners straight to their first defender
Just setting expectations low, so that even negative folk can hopefully feel better on the actual day. Toon, Toon.

Really tough game. Stick with my comments, we have a strongest XI for this game as follows:
Pope
Tino, Thiaw, Burn, Hall
Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton
Elanga, Woltemade, Willock/Murphy.
Barnes needs to be made an example of, that you can’t just keep being **** and get picked, Trippier and Schar need to be phased out (again, in the case of Trips).

Trippier would be playing if he had stage 4 cancer
Scrap the Barcelona (done) and PSG (last) games and we have 6 matches to really try and get through to the knockouts. 3 wins and 2 draws should be enough to get through, 16 points (5 wins and a draw) was enough last season for the top 8 positions - still loads to play for and we just need to make sure we make this a mini league between now and the PSG game and make sure we are qualified by the time we go to Paris.
I mean yeh but I'm talking about winning the ****ing thing not finishing mid table with Bodø/glimt and Prague
One step at a time, qualify for the knockouts by hook or by crook and then you are 4/5 games from the final. That’s the great thing about the cups is if you’re in it, you can win it.
I'm sure some would have thought that last year about the league cup, especially when we came up against Liverpool in the final but you never know.
Getting to the final is harder than winning it.
For me something feels a bit off this season. Pre season was awful, and the way we’ve started this season, with the likes of Gordon, Joelinton and Bruno playing uncharacteristically poorly not to mention a strange reliance on veterans from the manager and a very flat play style, it just doesn’t feel like we’re in a good place.
Hard to specifically put a finger on it, anyone else feel like that? We feel….stale, maybe disinterested, dunno.
I think the Isak nonsense has been a cloud over the club and contributed to the players and staff not really knowing how the start of the season was supposed to look. Now, with 6 new players, I think we are coming out the other side of a difficult summer and can kick on.
Eddie always takes time to introduce new players so that they can build up the physicality and understand his tactical plan. The exception being Wissa, him being out is a blow to the start of the season as I was expecting him to be straight into the team.
I think it just needs to click with all the new faces, and it will (hopefully on Sunday!)
The non bedwetters just keep looking at blind faith and not seeing what’s in front of them.
We have won 1 game so far this season. If we don’t beat Bournemouth which is highly likely it’s been a **** start to the season.
A crap end to last season.
And a shocking pre season.
But nah the insults will just keep on coming.
It looks like folders was wrong because there's at least one other person that thinks Roland is right.
I'm beginning to think the people mocking mental health are the one's having the most difficulties.

Go back to bed. Lie down. Get back up but out of the other side. Feel better?
GG agreeing with you really isn’t an endorsement of your position. It’s look in the mirror time.
PS. Try not to twist my words too much. As I’ve said many times before, read what I’ve said and respond to that. It helps. You might notice Roly has liked my post. Now ask yourself why. Maybe because he has a sense of humour.
