[Football] Are Newcastle going to stay up? (Suggestion - don’t open if you don’t care :smile:)

If the gap was more than 3 points to safety maybe they might have gone down. But there's enough room that players won't think they'll go down so the calibre of players they can sign will be higher.

Appropriate choice of words for the ‘NO’ option.

They need 27 points from 19 games. Would say depends on the form of leeds and watford.

Burnley and norwich are done.

Watching them all turn on Bielsa would be Box Office.

The ideal scenario for me is Norwich, Newcastle and Burnley down, Zaha to Newcastle so he goes down too.

Newcastle may very well spend big but I seriously hope nothing clicks for them. I've never liked them (I did really like Faustino Asprilla though) so it would bring me much joy to see them struggle for the rest of the season. Dropping straight through the championship would be nice too.

This weekend I'll be cheering on Burnley and Southampton.

The Leeds v Burnley game is particularly interesting as I think Burnley have a decent chance based on what I saw of them against Man United last night.
The Bielsa bandwagon has a very wobbly wheel which I hope may fall off soon.

Normally with 11 points after 19 games it would be difficult but they have a good chance this year. They already have a better squad than four other teams and with recruitment they will quite possibly make it. Norwich are going down as they dont have the quality to stay up but other than any two of Burnley, Newcastle, Watford, Brentford and (less likely) Leeds could end up 18 and 19.

January xfer window will be important. However, if Newcastle are recruiting to survive the season rather than to start to build a team that could challenge for top 4 in 2-3 seasons, they will be delaying that process. If they sign Auba and a bunch of other established, bit older players then they are likely to be in a mid-table battle for years to come if they are staying up. So in some ways, if they want to fulfill their potential of being a top team, its a curse that they still have a good chance of staying up.

Southampton v Newcastle on Sunday is officially postponed.

Yes I went Monday night v United and if they sign players in January, I think come the end of the season Eddie will be looking very smug .

Is the Ashworth effect starting early?

Looks like Newcastle have taken over our interest in Larin:

Hopefully it’s too late for them to steal Kozłowski too.

Edit : They are being linked with Benjamin Brereton Diaz too [emoji3525]

With 10 and 11 points, Norwich and Newcastle should be dead and burried but they are jst 3/4 points from 17th placed Watford who are also very poor.

I suspect that Newcastle wont spend a fortune in transfers but will probably have to in wages to entice players in from Europe. I'm pretty sure they will get the players they want and if they gel, they will be fine by the end of the season.

Anyone from 8th placed Wolves could be relegated but my money would be on Norwich, Watford and Brentford (or Dirty Leeds).
