Southampton v Newcastle

Newcastle 1.2 to qualify, had to lay that.

Got tickets for next week,.... Hmmm!

Newcastle appear to have gone off the boil. Laying them tonight.

under 2.5

Southampton seem to play with bit freedom
In cups knocked out city last rd
Beat palace away in fa cup 3rd rd
5.8 on here

Soton/draw is 2.30 and that's a fair enough punt.

Don’t have a strong enough view on tonight’s game to have a punt. Should be a good game and I’ll enjoy watching as a neutral, though as a first leg may be cagey. Saints in with a chance of taking a slender lead at home if Ward-Prowse struts his stuff - always a footballer worth watching.

Has to be said that Eddie Howe has done a remarkable job, though he’s had some financial backing. This time last year, Newcastle were languishing in 19th with 11 points. That’s quite some turnaround.

Newcastle and over 2.5 goals

Newcastle will certainly be targeting this cup, first one Romans chelsea won

Can Wilson play wide left of the front 3 and Isak through the centre?

It would give them much more goalscoring threat. Joelinton long term isn't a threat and his skill set, ball winning, physicality, workrate seem better suited to midfield.

Lots of lovely Unders at the weekend, including no less than three 0-0's. Tempted to go again with 0-0 to trade.

Pillock doing me a massive favour tonight, by ballooning them over like a good'un.

Newcastle struggle to stick it in

Joe Linton's purple patch seems to be over now. tw@ts one with his hand. and VAR rules it out.

ref's on 0-0.

Southampton will be happy enough with that des

Mind you Newcastle will settle for that going back to st james

Shocking and dangerous tackle by goalie resulting in a concussion, no free ? and no card !! Surely dangerous play. Bit like that German goalie tackle years ago.

so will I, sonty.

If the goal was awarded the challenge doesn't happen.

Miss of season?

Dear me!

Nah, Joe linton's 's still shyte, imo.

Southampton final 3rd poor

Dan burn been rape this second half

First time I’ve seen Newcastle play
How the **** are they top 4

0-1 Joelinton

1-1

What a shyte goal, VAR investigation

unlucky Southampton, going to be ruled out.

0-1 again

Are Betfair allowed to reverse all bets around thecSaints goal on exchange?.

I think so, bets voided when suspended pending VAR, as far as I know, but I still can't understand what VAR is trying to achieve

Making hard work of it.

Isak and Guimaraes were technically a league ahead of everyone else on the pitch attacking wise

Laid Newcastle.

Saints score so I cash out a not suspended market. Lock up profit.
4 mins later Var change mind disallow goal.
4 mins later Betfair reverse my cash out.

Now a loser….
Seems wrong to me.

Its disgraceful jedi

They cant not suspend and then punish you its suppose to be a peer to peer exchange

Southampton rode there luck at times
But had chances them self’s poor in box
There could been high scoring game another night

XG

Soton 1 Newcastle 3




Newcastle havnt conceded first half goal since August 28

24 games including 3 friendlies

Newcastle will smash someone for 5 or 6 soon

Its a bit puzzling they aint hammering someone at the minute they keep creating chances

First time I’ve seen Newcastle 90th min
I wasn’t all that Impressed that mughty defence of there was all over the shop
I know they had chances sitters but
20 min period Southampton could got 2-3 them self’s

Newcastle badly lack pace. Isak looks a serious player linking up with others when dropping deep and a massive over all threat when dropping out wide or through the centre. I'm not sure Howe trusts St Maximin to put in the hard yards hence him going with Joelinton and theres been rumours of a falling out etc..

They badly need a Left Wing Forward with pace. I know plenty won't but 30m for Anthony Gordon wouldn't be bad. A swap deal for St Maxi would suit everyone. He is being dragged down by an awful Everton team and has potential. He also has pace.

Southampton looked a Championship side in all but name. Passing side of their game was woeful.

Suspect Jones is there to get them promoted next year.

SS "Its a bit puzzling they aint hammering someone at the minute they keep creating chances"
Technically Joelinton and Longstaff can't shoot a football. I don't think any amount of practise can help either.

Wilson isn't up to speed at the moment. Isak should start.

Joelinton scored 2 last night, one incorrectly ruled out.

Blazed one over bar on wrong foot after ball deflected
off defender on way to him.

Not sure 2 goals in away leg of semi is worth criticism
despite glaring miss.

His goal followed a good run into 6 yard box which
was one of his failings when he arrived at newcsstle
and was played as a target man no 9 by Bruce.



Longstaff has been previously solid with his shooting.

Dunno why he's blazing everything over bar.

98 Apps 4 goals yer grannie would put more away

Try 18 goals in 140 appearances.

He might earn some more points tomorrow.

my stats are for this level  not Scottish Seasiders or boys clubs. He will be the first to be dropped when any more money is spent.

https://understat.com/team/Newcastle_United/2022

Longstaff scored 1 expected 2.81

Are you mixing him up with somebody else?

He's not in team to score goals, but I think
he gets moved on within 18 months.but nowt to
do with his finishing.

He has shown good shooting ability previously.

In that case he has 12 from 122 in the PL, plus 5 in the League Cup and 1 in the FA Cup.

any England caps ?

Why would England caps have relevance to your argument

He plays a position for Newcastle that Southgate doesnt
play for England.

Not really an argument I just think he's poor. You clearly think he's excellent.  I'm sure many would say he's only selected for local connection.

Ha ha now having lost the argument you are creating things
I havnt said.

Why make stuff up to hide your failings?

You merely highlight them.

silly man

think I remember tiger as someone only here for the wind-up as well

Ha ha make stuff up

When challenged sling abuse.

goodbye tard

Ha ha more abuse

Keep highlighting your failings as often as you like.

Joelinton is a good footballer in certain aspects. Ball winning, work rate, even his passing has improved but he should score more goals than he does and his finishing is awful. He gets in decent enough positions and I dont think 10 goals in the league per season is alot to ask but he is on par this season for 4 which is rag return if the team is aiming at Top 4

As far a Premiership footballers are concerned there isnt anyone other player I woud have in my team for just £43,000 per week wages, low by todays standards. Gives 100% every match.
