Do these and we're almost there. I don't think it's going to be pretty but I'm going 2-0.

[adios 686]

9-0 

[David Kelly 288]

Judging by their weakness and our strengths we should be playing Atsu instead of Gouffran for this one.  Shame Yedlin isn't fit.  I'm in agreement with Fish, another ground out 2-0.

Rafa Benitez press conference: key points

No Clark or Yedlin

Rafa is NOT looking at the gap between United and Huddersfield as ten points

Burton will see tomorrow’s game as their ‘game of the season’

Benitez ‘likes his job’ when asked if he’s enjoyed the season

[StoneColdStephenIreland 74]

I think we're due to stuff someone so I'm going for 4-0. They just beat Huddersfield away and will probably be mentally and physically drained from playing and winning against a top team away from home.

[Howay 1,638]

It's a shame Clark is missing again as I think he's clearly shown he is our most capable CB this season.  If Anita can put in a performance anywhere close to what he did at the weekend that will mitigate Yedlin being gone as he actually played the ball forward and found Ritchie in some good positions.

 

I went for 3-0 to our lot, no reason why it's just hope more than anything and I agree with StoneCold that our lot are due a game where everything clicks.

We'll never stuff anyone with Rafa's system unfortunately.

[adios 686]

QPR?

[adios 686]

Just looked out of interest, games won by a 3+ margin:

Newcastle 4 - 1 Reading

QPR 0 - 6 Newcastle

Newcastle 3 - 0 Ipswich

Newcastle 6 - 0 PNE

Newcastle 4 - 0 Birmingham

Newcastle 4 - 0 Rotherham

[Howay 1,638]

Aye was going to say we've dished out a lot of kickings this season compared to the prior 5 years or so. We also wiped the floor with Spurs 5-1 at the end of last season.

[adios 686]

Stuffing teams ~13% of the time

[Howay 1,638]

Stuffing teams ~13% of the time

Just checked, because I'm bored and I guess I'm morphing into Fish.

League games won by 3+ goal margin:

2015/16 = 3 (including the Spurs win by Rafa)

2014/15 = 1

2013/14 = 4

2012/13 = 1

So taking out the PNE cup game it's been 5 in the league this season. We're areet man.

 

Went to the 2011/12 season (season we finished 5th) and we got 2 wins by 3+ goals in the league (Stoke and Man Utd), we lost 4 by the same 3+ margin (Wigan, Fulham, Chelsea, and Spurs) #TheKing.

Here, fuck off, stress has made the weight just drop off. Basically look like a bald Olympic diver.

That's entertainment

[Howay 1,638]

Is that the one the head coach has been arrested for match fixing?

I'm not in a position to throw stones atm anyway.

[BenarPHa 0]

Won't be an easy game, the so called 'minnows' this season have given us good competition.

A positive result is important especially going into a tough fixture on Saturday. 2-1 to the toon.

[strawb 689]

We will play shocking football, not fit to grace Sunday league pitches. 3-0

[Haydnator 45]

3-1 us, based on absolutely nothing whatsoever.

[rob032 38]

2-1 I've gone. Just don't trust us to keep a clean sheet at the minute, think the lads at the back are feeling the pressure more than the likes of Ritchie, Gayle, Shelvey. Think we'll have enough to win though.
