Match Day Thread Newcastle United FC vs Southampton FC Premier League 15:00 Saturday 17th August 2024

The party scene has moved to the Quayside. It is the fake hair, fake tan, fake eyelashes and fake body parts centre of the NorthEast, and that’s just the lads. The ‘ladies’ leave very little to the imagination. Before you get the wrong idea, I was meeting an old college mate at the Malmasson Hotel for a quiet drink. His choice not mine.

 

Lumley, Stephen’s, manning, SAA, Dibling, Charles, bree, Stewart.

SAA to come on at 66 minutes and break deadlock. Ross Stewart to come on at 88 minutes and bag a hat trick before spontaneously combusting.

 

taking my lad to this one, so lets get the inevitable bashing done between 3 and 5 and then enjoy a night out on the Toon

 

I have been chatting with my Toon neighbour and his Toon mate, this morning, and just asked them to keep the noise down and not send too many Toooooooon messages as the goals go in.
Hopefully one or other of BBD and Arma will spend some time in the middle, instead of just hugging the touch line to give the midfielders someone to play forward to.
I can see this being a 4-0 defeat, but hopefully will be proven wrong, in a good way.

 

I think 3-1, BBD getting our goal.

 

Since retirement I've been spending time sitting and thinking but mostly I just sits. There are some certainties in football, Libbs fond thoughts on VAR being one of them, my predictions being wildly wrong another that's why I just sits.

 

Apart from the hat-trick, I think you may be spot on about Ross Stewart

 

No comment.

Actually I do have one. We need to play like we did in the play offs but for 38 games.

 

We’re staying near there so that’ll be fun
Otherwise going to Grainger Town and the Castle and other appropriate pursuits for people of our advanced years

Way-Aye You Saints

 

Hoping we can make a statement, would be over the moon with 0-0.

I fear a 3-0 which I would hope will speed things up in the transfer market.

 

In my mind, this one is a free hit and the season truly starts with the Forest home game. Hoping to see us stand up to Newcastle and not wilt in the atmosphere, even if we do lose

 

Referee: Craig Pawson. Assistants: Marc Perry, Mark Scholes. Fourth official: Dean Whitestone. VAR: Chris Kavanagh. Assistant VAR: James Mainwaring.

 

Can’t see anything other than a plus four. Bonus might be a goal.

 

Thanks mate.

 

I went to the Valley tonight to watch Charlton and banish the demons of associating Nathan Jones with a Premier League Saints side before this season starts - holy **** they’re almost as bad as we were under NJ, just horrid, horrid football

 

Too early to panic and worry?

You’re right….I will postpone panic and worry until tomorrow

 

He seemed to do fairly well last season IRC. Took over when they were struggling and think he only lost once in the league. Granted, the style of football probably wasn't great.

 

What happened to "we'll ****ing smash 'em"?

 

Did you get ye tits oot fer the lads?
