I may end up regretting this but...

Is Tash like Kramer or something?

 

Well said Tash! Optimism is the key!

 

I seem to remember alot of negativity before the game at the Emirates. Newcastle were priced at 11-1 and I had £5 on that bad boy.

I know our home form isn't the greatest and our backs will be against the wall. But if we can defend like we did the last time we played the Gooners there's no reason why we can't win by the odd sneaky goal.

So for that reason I will be backing the Toon to win (as I always do) and will be backing Kevin Nolan to be the man who does it.

FETCH IT!!!!!!!

HWTL!

 

****in rights! Bring it on!

 

Anythings possible, improbable but possible.

Can only hope Tash is right for once!

 

You better chieck youreslf before you wreck yourself

 

Well, I can't see Newcastle winning this one. I've gone for the financial back-up ploy of laying the Toon and I hope that I lose my punt.

To be honest, I can't see our strikers scoring today.

 

Ah God, talk about setting us up for a fall!

 

You will regret this, and when we get battered i will personally make sure i find your house and dribble over you whilst you sleep.

Valium time tash

 

I am not even going to bother to try to trade out of my lay position. I can't see Newcastle getting five now.

 

Seems you may end up regretting this just a little bit tash.

I like the enthusiasm though. I can't stand pessimistic Newcastle supporters who automatically assume we're gonna get beaten or thrashed. I really, really hope the Newcastle players never come across it.

Actually, one did. I have Simpson on twitter and he referred to a newcastle fan who said we would be thrashed 3-0 by Fulham in a tweet. He replied saying that it isn't something that they [the team] want to hear from the fans. It's **** like that which just aids in lowering the confidence of everyone.

Pack it in and give your team SUPPORT. You're not fit to call yourself a supporter if you don't.

 

Haha brilliant post tash

 

Optimism is a different animal to realism. For example, I laid Newcastle at 5.9 today. I expected them to lose but I hoped that they would win and even at 1-4 I hope that they do even though it costs me.

There is nothing wrong about having a realistic point of view of things.

 

aldridge you should of walked for the second half mate
can't stop laughing

 

Realism is fine. However, it goes from being realistic to pessimistic when people come out with things like 'we're GOING to get hammed' or 'we WILL be beat'. We've already beaten Arsenal before (and what a comeback that was for 4-4) so comments like those are just completely unnecessary.

 

Ok sounds more realistic than what did actually happen so sorry Tash.
