useless Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 How well Newcastle are doing doesn't reflect badly on us, since January 1st only Liverpool have taken more points than them, they're doing exceptionally well, it's not about how bad we are, it's about how good they've been unfortunately, nothing we can do about that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that embarassing at all, because IF they win this, they will have played 2 games more, be ahead of 9 other teams ( including us ) and be about 8th in the form table. The team has come into form and are beating other teams.... Shocker. If we go on a good run, but Newcastle keep winning, and finish 9th, and we finish 10th, would it still be embarassing? As a matter of fact, how many times have we finished above Newcastle in the past decade? Loll Looking at the live table, all the teams around us should be more " embarassed " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2022 Palace are a very decent side - Newcastle have had 12 shots compared to 1 from Palace - that's a big difference between two similar teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Me actually think we'll still finish above Newcastle, they've got Norwich on Saturday so likely another three points, but after that they have a difficult run of games coming up, whereas I expect us to go on a run after Leicester, might even get something from Leicester. They're due a bad run, we're due a good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2022 Arteta is such a moaner and he was out of his technical area and almost on the pitch interfering with a Chelsea player a moment ago - I think refs need to get on top of him. His team are very decent in fairness to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Arsenal are annoying lose just a few games in twelve or whatever it was before then winning again against us, then decide to lose to three of our rivals for a top half finish, and now suddenly back to winning ways against one of the division's better teams when it doesn't matter to us.
