Crowd are massively up for it, whole team lifts their game against a woeful everton side. They will crash down to earth by next match. Going down. This is wishful thinking. They have bought well and their results since they changed manager have been comfortably better than relegation form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 They'll stay up. This will give the whole club a lift. Norwich aren't good enough to send them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It's looking better for them now, but we get this most seasons, a struggling club suddenly gets a few wins from nowhere and people think they're going to shoot up the table but before long they revert back to their normal form, would also say against Leeds they were incredibly lucky and today Everton were very poor. Typical of our luck that they get a few wins before we play them, they haven't looked great in either game but will give them a big lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can win against Newcastle next game. But we have a very hard game against Leeds tomorrow hope we can win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford are used to losing. So it’s not as if they’re in a shocking form. Sometimes draws are indication that a team isn’t easy to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 they're not in shocking form, they're actually in quite good form, unbeaten in four now taking eight points from those four games, my point is that you often see struggling teams go on mini runs like this and look like they're going to turn their season around but then revert back to the form that go them into trouble in the first place. Last season West Brom had a spell where they put five past chelsea then beat Southampton by three goals and got good draws against us and Wolves, Watford did something similar the season before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Game this weekend against us will show what Newcastle are made of. Everton was a massive must win. They are in free fall, inexperienced manager, influential players going off injured, years of bad spending. 15/16 vibes. We are a good team, with a good manager and some very very good players. Let’s see how they get on. Edited February 8, 2022 by pas5898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how they get on. We never play well at Newcastle tbh in recent memory, last season was a really poor game and IIRC they were without AMS and Wilson and still we couldn't win despite scoring in 87th minute. Results since 2005: 2005/06- 1-1 draw (Barry missed penalty in last minute) 2006/07- 3-1 defeat (Carew and Young's debut) 2007/08- 0-0 draw 2008/09- 2-0 defeat 2010- can't remember... 11/12- 2-1 defeat 12/13- 1-1 draw 13/14- 1-0 defeat 14/15- 1-0 defeat 15/16- 1-1 draw 16/17 (championship)- 2-0 defeat And two 1-1 draws since we came back to prem. Incredible we've won twice at Old Trafford since last winning at Newcastle. Also bizarre we've not scored more than one goal in any game since 2005 when they were down to 8 men of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say something similar. St. James' Park has been a horrible hunting ground for us. Would be fantastic to get 3 points, but it's a long way from being a banker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 They will face harder teams - we really need to beat them. That defence will continue to leak goals. The problem is there’s a lot of awful teams around them in free fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is they have bought a bunch of new players. It's not the same team playing the second half of the season that played the first. They now have a squad capable of staying up and are showing it in their results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of my favourite stories of all time. Although, to be fair, he didn’t eat too many potatoes - he was carrying a potato and dropped it while getting into his car, then leaned out and under the car to pick it up and ended up falling out and running over his own head. The physics makes sense, but literally nothing else about the story does! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
