Game Thread vs Blackpool(h)

[Guest ShoePiss]

Very confident we'll get 3 pts.

Ding dong Meireles on high

In Anfield the bells are ringing

Lucas puts it in the sky

Haven't thought of this line

 

And all the lads are singing. :santa:

 

 

Back on topic ...... it should be a 3-0 at least.

I would be livid if we don't win this.

You seem to miss the point alot of people make over and over again to you. Roy is playing shit football. If we play shit but win people will have a go at him.

 

Classic "Newcastle" fan behaviour.

 

We all want great football, but we need results. What we need is more important than what we want.

 

Newcastle and other clubs' fans, have hounded coaches out the door, because despite getting the results, the football wasn't sexy enough for them. Invariably those clubs ended up getting relegated. I don't want us relegated. I want us to win and get results. At all costs. Good football wins headlines, results win prizes. A 1-0 win will do the job on Sunday, it might be shite to watch, it might be a sleeping pill, but a win's a win, and it gets us motoring up the league. That's the bottom line. If we win or get a result away from home, give Roy a rest.

[Trucker Paddy]

We'll batter them 4-0, Torres hatrick, it'll also be first game I won't see as I have to attend a Christning so it's nailed on we'll play well

[TheResonator]

Good football wins headlines, results win prizes.

 

The problem is, of course, that if you play shit football every week like we've been doing you don't tend to get results with anything like the kind of consistency you need to win prizes.

[MLB]

I think we'll likely lose, to be honest. We're totally bereft of confidence and Blackpool are going to have a go at us.

 

 

Make that: bereft of confidence, direction and spirit. A pretty bad cocktail for a football team.

[Beepcake]

I hope we control the game, boss them about, and end up 3-0 winners.

 

Unfortunately, despite my pre-season optimism, I'm so devoid of any confidence in team I can see us surrendering possession (again), Blackpool taking heart from it, showing us how to play attacking, passing football and it ending up 1-3.

 

Every game we've played this season I've thought "right, this will be the one where we start playing"; but 10 minutes in I'm yelling at the TV/Computer/Radio because we're playing like a team who's just come up from the Championship and doesn't want to lose.

 

I'll be happy to eat humble pie if we have a good season :-)

[dennis tooth]

No, following a 2-0 walkover, it'll be "ah it's only Blackpool, they're shite".

 

2-0, and moving halfway up the league. At last.

 

We won't win 2-0 I promise you, if you think we will win, nevermind 2-0 you are out of your mind.

 

Oh yes, I can see that you are even more deluded than Roy himself, Purlsow would say you were too optimistic, even he doesn't rate Roy as much as you do. Jog on won't you dear.

[Squabblefest]

I think we'll batter them.

 

Then again, I said the same thing about Northampton so what the fuck do I know?

[dennis tooth]

Think the draw is best we can hope for. While being completely outclassed of course, probably be a few goals either end.

[me1]

It will be mind numbing in accordance with Roy's preferred style.

[05 Milan]

We'll start brightly, maybe get an early plucky goal, then completely retreat back into our own half,invite pressure and let ourselves be dominated by yet another inferior opponent. You'd almost think it was roy's entire gameplan.

[murphy]

First game this season apart from West Brom I have thought we will win. 2-0 Liverpool. Then we will get twatted in the derby.

[Red Banjo]

Torres record at Anfield is frightening.

 

Against a tin pot defence he could run wild. I'd fancy him to get a hat-trick if we can score early. But here lies the problem - are we gonna get a turgid, lame, life-less first half performance again? Quite likely.

 

We'll either ride our luck and scrape a 1-0/2-1. Or we'll go nuts and hit 5. Either way i think we'll get the points.

 

Im not coming on here till atleast Tuesday if we lose

[kojak]

We are third bottom relegation zone this is a MUST win .Any other result is disaster imo

We will beat these no problem. I will shit myself if we dont. But we will, so I wont. (Surreptiously checks cupboard for amount of bog roll in there)

Probably line up more like this, knowing Hodgson;

Reina

Johnson Skertl Greek Carra

Meireles Poulson Gerrard Cole

Kuyt

Torres.

[Trucker Paddy]

If Merellis plays right wing again tomorrow then Roy deserves any shit he gets for it

[ngogswilly]

He'll probably play Poulsen on the wing for the heck of it.

 

I hope he goes something like that with Johnson and Kuyt playing as wingbacks. Kuyt spends half his time chasing the opposition so he may aswell play as a wingback.

The closer this game gets the worse I feel about it.

I believe the team billybonzo posted is the correct one mate, that is what I have heard as well.

Any of you chummers going for a pint in the club before the game?
