[Football] Who'd be a Geordie

[drew]

61 minutes gone and, fair enough, only 1-0 but the possession stats on BBC were 83% Man City and 17% for the home team!!!

Watching on Sky. Fancy our chances on Saturday.

Don’t think we should be making any comment/judgement until Saturday 5 p.m. Having said that it’s a good time to be playing them.

From what I recall, when we played City the stats were just 22% possession for us at home

Who'd be a Southerner

but the saving grace for them is they are at least not Scottish

But that's just under 30% more possession than Newcastle have had. Don't you just love statistics?

We should love the Geordies, they kept the Scots at bay

What's to worry about.
We did let them take the limelight, in taking the Championship title, so we could sneak into PL under the radar.
They'll be anxious about playing us as we are about scoring goals.
It's a game that we can win.

Dwight 'Wifred' Gayle.....when will these players learn you can't just fall over if you get in to the penalty area

Did you mean to post that against my post?

I don’t have a problem with their tactics as (1) I’m not paying to see the match, (2) no one outside (or even inside) the top six can live with Man City, (3) goal difference could be important, (4) we’ve done it ourselves and (5) massive wealth differences between clubs are the real enemy here.

Gayle, Atsu, Perez, Merino and Ritchie were all the bench from their previous match, and will probably all start on Saturday

Gutted. I was hoping we would get at least 28% possession.

Good to see that Shelvey not one of their better stars then.

Rafa hasn't really got them fired up all season. Is he really doing a good job? Still gets a lot of praise/credit.
