Drat! and double drat!
Tricky one to call this, we could win, lose or draw...or the match could be abandoned, fog on the Tyne an' all that..

Lucky we’re playing at home. Going for a pint in The Sportsman before the game. Up the Dolphins!

That's where the Palace ninjas went wrong. First rule of being a ninja - don't advertise your position. What did they do? Hold up a 30 foot flag.
More ninja, less flag.

Always makes me laugh in movies where ninjas are in the traditional all black get-up with the mask and everything, in broad daylight, looking completely conspicuous.
The whole point of a ninja is to blend in, not draw any attention to yourself and be like you were never there. They wear them at night because it’s dark… not in the bloody sunshine

These appreciate poor visibility on local rivers
Yeah but… how else are we to identify the baddies ?

Their ninja trousers are faded around the crotch, due to incontinence at so many games?
Heading down from Scotland for this my closest away match. I don’t miss the Carlisle days but at least away fans weren’t treated as badly as the disconnected heights of SJP.
Talk Shite excelling themselves this morning. An hour ago - next we'll talk about Newcastle Brighton; that discussion was 'how did Tottenham manage to throw away a two goal lead against Brighton?' A little later, let's talk about Newcastle Brighton ................ yep, but we haven't talked about West Ham yet!
Third time lucky - they have finally managed to point out that Newcastle have got lots of injuries. Did predict a 2-1 win for Brighton, so I might forgive them a bit if they've got that right!

I’d really, really like if we lose and don’t play particularly well for the less philosophical fans on here to not go apeshit for once. Against Spurs the match thread was really embarrassing to read through.
Don’t get so upset about what you read from strangers on the internet.

My concern is the mental health of those who do get upset. I’m not one of them.
Same here. Looking round a Uni with the boy and back for daughter’s birthday dinner.
Today will be the first time I'll have been to a league game since December 2019.
I've only been to five or six league games since promotion, for pretty obvious reasons, but have never seen us lose in the PL.

I know what you mean but I wouldn’t go that far
EDIT - misread that as you’d really ‘like if we lose and don’t play particularly well’ then the ‘less philosophical fans’ won’t go apeshit for once’. 
This will be a real test of FB’s metal today - Newcastle at home are a formidable enough side, St James’ Park is shitehouse.
I think I’ll consign this one to Brighton ’also ran’.

First time to St James Park for me today, and I can happily report that the fog on the Tyne is all mine
