Newcastle (EFL Cup) - Match Thread (28/08/2019)

[HighPeakFox]

Please forgive me quoting football literature.....

 

“What impressed me most was just how much most of the men around me hated, really hated, being there. As far as I could tell, nobody seemed to enjoy, in the way that I understood the word, anything that happened during the entire afternoon. Within minutes of the kick-off there was real anger (‘You’re a DISGRACE, Gould. He’s a DISGRACE!’ ‘A hundred quid a week? A HUNDRED QUID A WEEK! They should give that to me for watching you.’); as the game went on, the anger turned into outrage, and then seemed to curdle into sullen, silent discontent. Yes, yes, I know all the jokes. What else could I have expected at Highbury? But I went to Chelsea and to Tottenham and to Rangers, and saw the same thing: that the natural state of the football fan is bitter disappointment, no matter what the score.” 

 

Nick Hornby, Fever Pitch

Hard to judge the 1 shot on target stat playing a team who are playing 5-4-1 at home to you 

[oxtonfox]

OK who would you put forward as the 5 penalty takers boys and girls? 

Vardy, Fuchs, Madders, ....

[smr]

Meanwhile, Madders gets so bored of our lack of chances he decides to partake in some rhythmic symmetrical dancing with the newcastle players.

 

[UniFox21]

This sounds a shit game tbh

 

Would be bringing on a replacement for Perez 

[Guest Dirkster the Fox]

[st albans fox]

So who’s taking the pens then ?

[ARM1968]

We’ll shithouse a result here no doubt. 

[Pliskin]

It’s a bit poo, poo this game. You’d be annoyed if you went all the way to N’castle to watch this. 

[Micky]

This is the Newcastle team that restricted Tottenham to very little. Chill.

Spurs are shit though.

[Finnegan]

Newcastle really are the absolute pits to watch. 

 

Last few years they've truly taken the crown from Stoke and WBA as the most ridiculous team in the league for parking the bus.

No it's not, 7 changes.

[LCFC1996]

9 shots, 1 on target, so we're having shots, they're just a bit shit

[Ric Flair]

Already looking forward to the international break personally

[lozzyblue fox]

Think on hind sight our second stringe couldn't have played any worse. Vardy hasn't had a look in at all.

[PhillippaT]

Sub Ward on for the pens?

All Premier League players and their back five has probably as much experience of division as our defence

As much as we don't want to believe it, they are not exactly shit. They are however not as good as they think they are.
