A Look at Newcastle Betting Odds

After bursting out of the traps, stumbling and tripping over in front of an enormous audience, all of whom pointed and laughed, the Magpies have returned to a vertical base and begun eating up the ground on the Championship’s early pacesetters.

Still, Newcastle’s odds to make it four wins out of four across all competitions against Brighton might be a bit longer at 21/20 given the obstinate Seagulls’ apparent refusal to lose football matches.

Is Rosenior out for sure then ?

No, he's just making stupid assumptions.

I don't like the BBC previews any more.

No idea who is out or not? And I would not let the opposition know either. It does appear the three man defence picks itself as we have only three first teamers.

I don't believe in superstition.

I reckon they will play Shelvey in midfield and we will have to match his physical presence. That means Dale Stephens should be in our team!.

This is the team Newcastle out out against Reading when they won 4-1: https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1...ampionship-2016-2017-Newcastle-United-Reading

I bet Gayle will be fit enough to play for them.

Newcastle signed yedlin. Very very good for the champ, rapid player too.

Dick Head can do the Official Match Thread. I don't want to do it.

Imagine Hughton will receive a warm reception from the home fans.

He will for sure


Doubtful – Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dwight Gayle, Rolando Aarons -


Apparently Mitrovic and Gayle are looking like they will be fit to play. The other one is definitely ''doubtful''

Not entirely sure about the idea of a pre-match thread but good effort to try. Hopefully it'll run for a few games so I can make my mind up.
Think it'll take a lot of energy to get people to engage with the idea to the extent that they'll look for it in the same way as a match day thread.

5 hours 45 mins there, 2 hours kip, 5 hours 45 mins back!

I have mixed views as I obviously want us to get at least a draw but dont want AK to tear them apart so they come in with an increased bid I would settle for a scrappy 2 -0 win. with goals from Rosenior and Bruno as no chance of either going to Newcastle

Two worldies from Manu would be better.

You'd settle for a 2-0 away win at one of the toughest away games of the season?? You really are completely clueless. Not to mention, I want Knockaert to score a hat-trick, doesn't matter if that prompts a bid-Not for sale. I want us to win, by as many as possible and to do that we need AK to play well. It'll be tough.

Yeah , i don't think Stockdale will be troubled either .

 

[Paris]

He's referring to Dale Stephens surely

At the moment and on current form it is no more difficult than any other It may well seems so in a few weeks but their form hasnt been shattering yet. Lets hope it doesnt pick up until Mid September. Why shouldnt we nick a win? Have done it up there before against the odds.
