Still, at least you're focussing on the positives, that's the important thing
Newcastle despite been winless and second from bottom have scored 8 league goals, 2 more than us. That’s a bit sobering really. Maybe we need Steve Bruce as our next manager.
He's certainly experienced...
Fair point on goals. I should've said goal difference
Actually says quite a lot.
Stats of course only usually provide a bit of a picture but hard to create a diagram of attacking potency with thst detail.
Well if we have scored 2 more goals than them afrer 8 games by Sunday evening I will be happy.

Every game against Newcastle is like an audition for the opposing players.
Kane and Ndombele ready to jump on that casting couch for the Oil Barons
New owner bounce. Crowd right up for it. Players playing for their careers. Spurs bang average. Newcastle win all day long. 2-1 Toon
3-1 to us providing we play with pace and aggression... or
1-0 to Barcodes if we play slow and fuck about with the ball.

They're not going to roll over and lie down. I think it's going to be a good game.
Exactly. If we lost to Newcastle it would be telling but I don't see that happening. These are the games you expect three points out of. Newcastle is still Newcastle and Spurs players are simply better. I could see the game being a draw if Nuno pulls them back into a shell. He's not a top level manager but I don't think he's going to let this one get away.
I know where you're coming from .....we bought Ruel Fox and Sissoko based on good games against us....
Then again, we also got Waddle & Gazza off them for a snip...
So I make that 2-2... Which, under the annoying Spursy/Dr. Tottenham circumstances, I'd take right now!
I expect him to play more or less the same side as against Villa. Our away form is woeful however and it's hard to see us creating much. Maybe we can get our noses in front but I can see us retreating second half (we run less than any team in the EPL) and getting done from a cross or set piece.
If we were playing 2 weeks ago I would have said we would have been favourites to win, despite the way we have been performing.
Since then and well yes. Bruce now has his 1000th game, their best players are fit and no doubt will all be busting the proverbial gut.
Most Newcastle players who start tomorrow won't start a game in the Black and White in 2 year's time.
As I said if we win later today we would have had to play the best we have all season so far.
If Kane and Ndombele start and don't give 8 out of 10 plus performances we will lose. Even if they do it might not be enough.
Let's hope any Newcastle revival and their dirty PL legitimised money starts from October 18th.

Kane will score a penalty or tap in
Then people will say he's world class again
Don't worry
No one will say that at present, not even the Kaneboys but if truth be told, I don't care how and if Kane scores as long as we win.
The Kane discussion completely detracts from the infinitely more important picture of where this club is going.
Just because the attention has momentarily gone from Santo to Soljskaer may be temporary if we capitulate today in what is bound to be a febrile atmosphere.
Win this one and we move to a very respectable 5th or 6th.
Today is 100% a test in every respect and although we have the better players, some of whom have actually got s fair bit to prove, I can't get past excuses being made by 18:30.
We shall soon see.
Fuck off wierdo
Stop St Max and they are hopeless.
Just because they have money now, their defence is the same.
Be brilliant to see a full house slagging their team off after 20 mins
