Thread for deluded Newcastle fans part three ( trackers new)

TSM was a character wasn't he. Used to love his fish n chips on a Friday.

Just looking online for a wider screen TV,I can never see my horses on this won.

TSM was one of the founders, and mainstay of the thread. Nice chap.

Another nice easy winner, wish every day could be that easy.

Well done winners and hard lines losers.your luck will turn.

I remember years ago one of the older Easterbys saying always back their horses when they were running under pelanties and keep betting them till they got beat.

Newcastle United: Lukáš Horníček, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Fabian Schär, Nico González, Yoane Wissa (c), Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock, Amar Dedić, Jacob Ramsey

Substitutes: Nick Pope, Tino Livramento, Aladji Bamba, Malick Thiaw, Sean Steur, Bazoumana Touré, Anthony Elanga, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Lewis Miley

Easterby had a nice winner today. Or 2

I'd think best advice is back em when
they get backed on hear, seems a good sistern.

Funny when won of them dropped C bomb on live TV, lol.

Strang bench mind.

Men against boys the only thing that is missing is the goal; only a matter of time as long as they don't concede too many free kicks.

Seems as if the ref doesn't want us practising pelanties

Fair point; where is VAR when you need it thought their defender was trying to take Schars shirt off him

I am starting to think we need a centre forward

Hard work, 1-0

Draw next week,

Leeds away next Monday.

A win is a win; into the 4th round we go; what did Schar have to do to get a penalty

Very disapointed with last nights performance from some.I will start at the back,defence looked strangers who had just met and spoke 4 different languages.Midfield,none of them can see a forward pass apart from Nico and thats a long diagonal to the wing.Forwards,well in name only,no one in the middle to win headers for the wingers if they got a cross in.Wingers came in too narrow and full backs didnt overlap.Wissa ran about in the defensive midfield area having a competition with Nico on who could give the stupidist free kick away in the most dangerous area.Subs came on andhad to chase long aimless balls that even a collie dog would get sick of chasing.You might think i am having a go at the manager.I am not,its these brainless players who lack the talent and courage to attack in a meaningfull way.Most of the starting 11 have been here a whils now and same old failings came out again.We were crying out for Stuer to come on and make some penetrive forward passes.

All in all a good nights work though and a clean sheet is good.

Agree the performance wasn't the best however the result was achieved.
It's only four games in and players are adjusting to a new system.Do we have the correct players to play the system would be my question.Never thought I would say this but we need Will Osula back asap.

As an article in the Mag said "Millwall only gave Newcastle United fans a meagre 2,072 tickets for Tuesday night and they have sold out. This is the basic minimum 10% of capacity allocation that Carabao Cup rules dictate for away fans.

So we are going to have one of those ridiculous situations where there will be a half empty stadium and thousands more Newcastle United fans, especially those living in and around London, would have loved to have gone but Millwall preferring to have empty seats rather than away fans paying for them."

Because of the points system,only the very longstanding season ticket holders could have got a ticket. Madness.

Trackas,some numpty on here has been on about needing a centre forward for 3 years,however the wise ones tut tut it.

Who would you have gone for?

dominic calvert lewin is one of the top of my head.As i dont have a world wide scouting system at hand i can just go off what i see.the palace lad,the lad brentford got.This list is endless.

Do you think they were better options than buying wissa?

I think wissa was best buy at the time, and he had a poor season because of injury and silly beggars wanting to engineer transfers.

He's playing a bit deeper now too, and needs
players around him to get beyond him from wide positions and midfield.

Pardo and osula alongside him should be explored before spending another 70m to buy
a striker.

We wanted that guy from Portugal but he didn't want to come, then got injured.

There's not many oven ready centre forwards around these days and with increased physicality in Premier league I think fewer
fancy being battered 38 times a season and
burning out.

The scouts will be out looking as wissa is already 30.

Wissa is not a centre forward so i cant compare.Have you seen him win a header?

Seen him win headers, but he wants it to feet,... It's the future

Thats fair enough,i think we need a centre forward,you dont.no harm done ,worlds still the same place.

Osula is a handful when fit, harldly prolific but that is all we have as a No9 at present. We will have to make do for now.
You have 3 n a half months or so  to source a centre forward pointa.

Joelinton is great at winning balls in the air

If you want to punt it in the air, play him as a 10 with wissa running off him

Or play it to feet, or over the top for speed merchants to chase.

If balls in from wide were a bit better then wissa would shine.

head in hands man please someone

BDB pointa thats the answer.

We've not really had a striker jumping for the ball for some time, isak got on end of a few but he made almost zero effort winning
50/50s.

As I say Joelinton is best at it. Woltemade was fouled repeatedly and got nowt so you can't stick with that.

Mitrovic, and Shola were good at it, and big dunc, who did some great work for Shearer.

Good headers of ball who score goals... Ronaldo7 and Haaland, but even Haaland doesnt get a lot of long punts onto his heed. Kane maybe but he's not so hot at 50/50s

Wissa - afore we signed him, in his last season at Brentford:

90 shots -
43 on target
19 goals

15 headers on target (doesnt say if any of them were goals)

Fontaines tickets on sale today, members and season ticket holders, not looked at price, not my favourite type of music, but I'm told they
are very popular, and might be doing Glastonbury too.

Good to see the club trying to make more cash.

Barley just won for easterby, somebody had a nice 10k lump on a minute before the off, not me.

They do like backing their winners, and
like a punt at Carlisle, apparently.

And von Trotter in next, lol, backed just before off, I hope they got it all on after letting it drift out.

Horses seem in form.I wonder if they have anything plotted for Donny caster this weekend

Half an hour for Gordon, bruno on the bench,
Tonali at spurs.

Leaving for champions league.

That man Balding has a couple of early movers at Doncaster this afternoon, in the 3.00 Prizeland is 7/1 in to 5/2, I've got a reduced 4.56 on betfair, but how much of this market move is down to Fairly Glen being withdrawn this morning and an atr tipster tipping it up? we can only guess at, up in class but won going away ina listed race last time, up in distance again for this, anyways I'll be trying to lay this one orf in running sub 2.26 for a freebie. To a lesser extent Storm Blade in the 4.45, just have to keep an eye on it closer to the off.

Haggas horse in the 1.50 went into the notebook on stable debut at York, Tom Marq gave him an awful run would have won with a clear run, this is tougher much tougher but someone likes him 12/1 to 7/1, missed the best prices on here but got 11, will chicken out on this one for a freebie anything under 6.

Muckems at home next round of the cup anyone?

Pochettino says Spurs should be awarded the 2017 PL Title after Chelseas were fined for breaking the rules, maybe he has a point?

Turns out Barcelona ain't got a pot to pish in.

First payment for Gordon delayed by a year.

Doesn't affect psr/ffp etc etc

Might affect selling them a left back... Lol

Hope we are charging interest

Good luck TT

Cheers Trackers, you fancy anything? Not an easy card, as ever.

Had some 2.5 Night in Vegas might bet The Dancing Pirate in the 4 place market same race.

Nap of the day is Get the central heating on ffs its freezing innit.

Trainer said he thought it was well handicapped and its wazzed up Speed of Sound in the first.

Seems a long time since the heating was on.

Was at cricket yesterday, fleece on, ffs.

Aye, fav in the first has plenty in hand on ratings, would have been on as well if the Haggas horse wasnt in the line up, but now I'm on I'll be happy if I get my freebie in that race tbh.

Four of Newcastle United's Premier League fixtures have been rescheduled after being selected for live television coverage across the festive period.

Newcastle's visit of Manchester City will remain on Boxing Day but the league clash at St. James' Park will take place at 8pm (GMT).

The Magpies' final game of 2026, at home to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday 30 December, will now kick-off at 7:30pm (GMT).

United kick off the new year with a trip to the capital to face Chelsea and the game has been pushed back to Sunday 3 January, with kick-off taking place at 2pm (GMT).

And Newcastle's match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, which was set for Wednesday 6 January, will now take place a day later, with kick-off set at 8pm (GMT).

All four matches will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Over the Christmas and New Year period, clubs have at least a 60-hour break between fixtures. This is in keeping with commitments made to clubs to address the congested festive schedule - in the context of an expanding European and international fixture calendar.

Broadcast selections for match rounds in November are due to be announced by the week commencing 21 September 2026 and match rounds in December will be announced by the week commencing 19 October 2026.

Wow talk about keeping your cards close to your chest just watch the pre match press conference before Mondays match; Jaissler gave nothing away about injuries and basically said all staff keep it confidential as well; chalk and cheese between him and Howe

He will have his work cut out if he sticks with Ramsey and Willock in midfield.Eddie was no mug and thats why they were on their way out. Hardest game yet this season on monday,al take a draa now.

Tiger,the horse yours beat last sarraday is running at the chester today,should win if it gets to the front early enough.Manilla scouse shirley must win inaal.

Has Nanouk of the north come out his igloo yet?

Suns oot heating off.

Newcastle United have announced Lewis Hall’s contract extension, keeping him tied down to the club until 2031.
The left-back had been subject of interest from Man United this summer.
Hall: “I obviously have a family connection with the club, which is incredibly important to us all.
“One of the main reasons I play is to make my family proud, and I know how much it means to them to watch me playing for Newcastle United.

SSKeef

Prescotts in the last is a winner without a pelanty.Was given far too much to do LTO.

Baldings was a welcome winner there.
Good luck with thsoe ponta.

Hope it's not ower hot for great north run on Sunday.

45 years, seems like yesterday..

U on the Easterby beast donny ?

Not had a bet.

Nice winner for pointa in the lucky last.

Nice one pointa.

Allegrino and Beresford Gap two more nice priced winners for Balding, damn well didnt back either.

Durham wrap up win today.

Other results go against rivals, so Durham
are promoted, and go up as champions, with
2 games to go. Ben Stokes appears to be heading to pub.

uh-oh...

Pakistan only 115 ahead with 2 wickets remaining, but...

Shocking captaincy and bowling from England yesterday.The batsmen were 9,10,11 for a reason and to change all your tactics and bowling style was beyond comprehension.Then to give the second new ball to a part time spinner was the icing on the cake!

can anyone tell me why oisin murphy has gone to ireland to ride today?

I looked at this last night and thought he must be visiting family

Its the Irish Champions Festival Weekend, Leopardstown today and then the Curragh tomorrow, but he's back at Doncaster tomorrow.

Has he gone to cheer Shane at the Irish open?

An ew lucky 15 seems fitting for him today then

De sousa and young moore might have a winner or 2 at donny hurpfully

Interesting results yesterday.Every point will have to be fought for this season.

Bruno! Bruno! What a goal.

Yes cracking goal.very physical game,sunlund were very strong in both boxes.I thought the ref was easy on them at times  butthey gave arsenal a hard game and will be hard team to beat.ian jurys may scupper them later in season playing with that intensity.

muckems looked like a team of headless chickens, all brawn and no brain, should never have had a penalty.

Who is picking the team the night?

Some guy on twitter says no dcl or ampadu

We shall see.

We shall indeed,however its us i would be more interested in.

Not my job

Horni
Tino
Chow
Botman
Hall
Nico
Smiley
Wispa
Barnes
Ferdy-p
Speedy-e

Is that a song? new lad will be in for tino if fit and i would have ramsey in for barnes with a 4 midfield

Barnes scored a few goals v Leeds, orses 4 courses innit.

Ive no clue who's even travelled, been oot, so
Somebody could have told me the team, and I've missed it.

Good luck to whoever plays, and hopefully ref isn't off on one.

Matias Fernandez-Pardo makes his first Newcastle United start as the Magpies take on Leeds United at Elland Road in the Premier League (kick-off 8pm BST).

The summer signing from Lille has made two substitute appearances so far and comes into the first XI as one of three changes from last week's Carabao Cup win at Millwall.

Malick Thiaw and Lewis Miley also return, with Fabian Schär, Jacob Ramsey and Joe Willock dropping to the bench. Anthony Elanga misses out altogether with an injury.

Thiaw captains the side while there's a possibility of Mason Miley joining his older brother on the pitch for the first time in the top fight. Mason, 17, is on the bench after impressing in pre-season.

Lewis Hall agreed a new long-term contract with the Magpies last week while Harvey Barnes netted twice - including a stoppage time winner - in last season's 4-3 victory against Leeds at St. James' Park.

Newcastle United: Lukáš Horníček, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Nico González, Yoane Wissa, Harvey Barnes, Malick Thiaw (c), Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Jacob Murphy, Amar Dedić, Lewis Miley

Substitutes: Nick Pope, Tino Livramento, Fabian Schär, Aladji Bamba, Sean Steur, Bazoumana Touré, Joe Willock, Jacob Ramsey, Mason Miley

NUFC XI v Leeds: Hornicek; Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Nico, L.Miley; Murphy, Barnes; Wissa, Fernandez-Pardo

Subs: Pope, Livramento, Schar, Bamba, Steur, Toure, Willock, Ramsey, M.Miley

No speedy e

Anthony Elanga injury confirmed by Matthias Jaissle. No length of time specified.

Bit of a disaster.

not all bad ,enjoy the next 45 mins of your unbeaten run

Bringing Steur on was not a great decision, fully expected to see Ramsey, midfield are woeful and the defence are non existent, you could replace the lot of them. Can it get any worse?

Not getting DCL for nowt was an even worse one.Although i am told we didnt need him we have wissa

Route one football for your boys, have you got Andy Carol back up front

I fear that new manager is absolutely clueless and basically a company man.

Away at Leeds and he plays 2 pretty lightweight technical midfielders. He then makes it worse by bringing on 18 year old Steur when Gonzalez goes off injured.

His 2 starting wingers are the 2 slowest players on the pitch ffs.

That team seriously lacks physicality in the middle/forward thirds. Nobody to stick a boot in an physically impose themselves.

Selecting Murphy on the wing is a sacking offence on its own.

Always going to have tough games with the bairns.

Losing nico made us just too fragile and a pinball opener revealed how fragile we are.

Yeah 4 forwards or 3 + a10 is too many, innit?

Go back to more solid 3 in middle with work rate and tackling, then build around that, Dedic good going forward, but... And then weak midfield and
it's just falling apart too much.

Big game ahead, innit.

Staggering to me Ramsey was not put in at any stage. Experienced midfelder.

Of course you can lose but there is a manner of losing. That team lost the second the team sheet was handed in tonight and that falls on the manager.

Leeds must have thought christmas came early for them the way we gifted them the 2nd goal especially; top and bottom of it was Leeds wanted more than we did and deserved their win; it will be interesting to see what team he plays on Saturday

Ramsey injured so that explains that at least. Elanga injury sounds bad.

I have held back till i calmed down,but it still is the same.As i have said for donkeys now,we are weak and easy to take the ball off.Nothing at all up front,i think they are called centre forwards,and very soft at the back.Right,the next bit might surprise yous.I really thought we had weathered the early storm and without threatening looked reasonably comfortable until Nico had to go off.A total fluke gave them the lead.Maybe a bit too much for Stuer as his weak misplaced pass led to the second which knocked the stuffing out of us.No leaders on the pitch to pull us together.A bit of luck and Barnes could of pulled one back with our first shot.Then in similar circumstances they got third.Theirs did get the right deflection which Barnes effort didnt.Fourth goal he swung at it and it went in the 1 foot of goal that wasnt protected,could of went anywhere.On the night they got the rub of the green which we didnt.However they did deserve it.I have seen us come away with points fro games like that but last night we got what we deserved.Too many young heads in same team.

Yeah, Leeds set up well to beat us, and find a team for Saturday.

The manager admitted that we didn't compete and weren't strong enough in the tackle and didn't win the 2nd ball enough; Big of him to admit it and hopefully it will buck their ideas up for Saturday against the surprise package of Hull
