Frozen out by Brendan and as soon as he gets back in the team under Deano he ‘has a sore foot’. He’s mentally in Madrid already, sipping San Miguel, eating paella, and chatting up the sun kissed ladies. 2

If only Liverpool could lose tomorrow then we might get to face a Newcastle side that is not only missing several players but also hungover from celebrating securing a place in the UCL. Not that any of that will stop them running and working harder than us on their way to a routine win of course!! 2 1
Eskay Posted 19 May 2023 Posted 19 May 2023 Madison to get himself sent off so that he can avoid playing the last game at home when we're already down. You heard it here first. 3

I remember as a wee lad going to St James Park and they were celebrating promotion and were 6-0 up at half time. I can see the same here as they celebrate top-4. And we look back thinking we were there two years ago until we threw it all away…! Club is in a mess. The fan/players relationship has never been this bad as far as I can remember. Honestly, just play the players that are going to at least be here next season and see what happens… I was at that game and the atmosphere was one of the best that I have ever experienced, the whole ground (apart from Leicester fans) was singing about Andy Cole for large parts of the game. I don't know if you remember but Lindisfarne played a couple of songs live, they were up in the Leazes which was getting built at that time.

It would be great to have both of their midfielders out. No, he's been carrying an injury to his ankle since the middle of January which will be operated on during the Summer, he should be fine for Monday night although he might be our only midfielder who is close to being fit.

If that is the case, then we have a chance of winning. We're not going to be complacent, we are struggling with injuries though and that will give you a fighting chance as long as your players are up for it. I do worry for you if you go behind early. I just hope Villa take something off Liverpool then this game might be meaningless for us.

They had just won Division 1 as it was then so had nothing to play for and we were in the play offs. I thought we could go there and get something. We were 6-0 down at half time! Cole and Kelly (ex-Leicester) both had hat-tricks. We lost 7-1 in the end and was the second time that season we had been humbled by that scoreline (7-1 Sheff Wed). It would be hard to predict a win on Monday. The Geordies are mental at the worst of times. they will be apoplectic on Monday! See our spineless bunch of losers crumble within the first 10 minutes on what will be a long-suffering 90 mins which will probably seal our fate of Championship football. We took the piss a bit that day. We spent most of the game singing 'Andy Cole, Andy Cole, Andy Andy Cole, he gets the ball, he scores a goal, Andy Andy Cole' and then Steve Walsh scored late on for you and we started singing 'Stevie Walsh, Stevie Walsh, Stevie Stevie Walsh, he gets the ball, he scores a goal, Stevie Stevie Walsh.'

You can justifiably feel cheated by most of them from what I've seen. I don't mind players who have an off day whilst trying, it boils my piss when they don't look as if they have a care in the world. Fans pay a fortune and the least they deserve is to see players trying to earn their exorbitant wages. Vardy is one of the few that I’ve seen looking as if he cares but he’s probably too old for a footballer to be trying to win games on his own. He can still show a burst of pace but is it fair expecting him to do that on his own for 90 minutes? 2

shailen Posted 20 May 2023 Posted 20 May 2023 If Liverpool don't win today they'll have secured top 4. Naturally they'll relax a bit more and whilst it'll be a tough game it gives us more of a chance 2

Newcastle would still need a point as there's always a chance Liverpool would get a huge win against Southampton in their last game.
TrentFox Posted 20 May 2023 Posted 20 May 2023 @Mick_1960 what’s the update on Trippier’s knock? My FPL team needs all the help it can get!!!

Can't see that Newcastle don't get something at Chelsea away so they'll likely get a point there at least. It's a huge swing even if we beat Newcastle by 2 or 3 goals in one game to catch up on if they draw today. Can't see it personally if Liverpool don't win today!!

Mick_1960 Posted 20 May 2023 Posted 20 May 2023 I hope that we don't act like pricks if you do go down at our place, I wouldn't like to see any of our fans taking the piss. I suspect a few might but they will hopefully be put in place by others around them if they do. Villa bizarrely celebrated us being relegated at their place and it wasn't a good thing to see as we had no direct rivalry with them. We have no rivalry with Leicester other on a game by game basis. On Monday we’ll be rivals for a couple of hours and then it’s over until the next time we meet, hopefully next season as I lived not far from Leicester so had mates who supported you. We took the piss out of each other but it was never anything bad, we were both in what was then the second division so we were both shite so it was like two bald blokes fighting over a comb. 1 1
