Sam Allardyce

Great presser that; very informative. I like a manager that gives more detailed answers.

What time, Eggs?

..sorry, Matey, it’s just finished.

Newcastle can't buy a point at the moment, and Swansea ain't much better. We should be going in with a (far?) more expansive style of play than on Sunday. I would hope that Big Sam is looking at how to get 6 points from these games. We need to be picking up these points and avoiding defeats against the "bigger" teams as a necessity if Big Sam is looking to stay on in the job after May next year.

I think 7th is capable if he can get the players to work and commit. Hard work and I'm sure that no one will be overly happy with his tactics and playing style at many points in the season, but if he does that, I will declare myself a convert.

When he was at Bolton, I always had the impression that towards the end of a season, when everything was safe, then they became more pretty on the eye. I have no facts to back this up, just a vague memory that came back to me, now that our manager's gurning face is more and more prevalent to my attention.

..my concern is that we’re also not very good. I fear if we go toe to toe with any team we could be beaten. I suspect it won’t be quite the same as the weekend but I doubt he will take any chances. Personally, i’d be more than happy with a point given where we were after Southampton.

Correct. Under normal circumstances, I'd say we should be giving Newcastle a damn good thrashing. Our fortunes are on the up, but there's still not much between us, and we're away. I'd happily take a point there.
Swansea I expect 3, and I've got a funny feeling we'll do Chelsea.
Hopefully things will look much healthier by Bournemouth.

Why are you reading what a kopite pigeon abuser thinks of our manager in an Irish newspaper?

Newcastle have lost 6 out the last 7 mate with only 1 draw to West Brom - so 1 out the last 21 points

at home they have a 3-2 loss against Leicester, a 3-0 loss Watford and 1-0 loss to Bournemouth as their last three home results.

We should be looking off the back of two wins and a draw at the pit to be going their to get all three points.

Similar to the Huddersfield game we are meeting a team in an absolute tail spin form wise and should and need to capitalise on that.

As an added point mate, on the form guide for the last 6 games, we are in 7th on that, Newcastle are rock bottom at 20th.

Arsed if we pass it back to Pickford to hoof to Jags playing as a forward as long as win 2-3:0 again.

They also lost a lot of those games they looked pretty in (based on memory). Keeping it simple is also good, as long as the game is won.

tbh mate we shouldn't be going to the worst form team in the league being happy to take a point. our current last 6 form guide - we are above both Arsenal and Spurs for comparison

...I still don’t see signs of us opening teams up away from Home. I’d be chuffed with a win but I suppose i’m still bruised by Southampton. We were abysmal in possession on Sunday so i’m still a little nervous.

This is the best chance we will have this season to break our away hoodoo,which has lasted almost a year now.

We need to be going for it all right and no mistake.

Same mate, but Newcastle are an absolutely turgid team, with no confidence who if they have to come out of a defensive shell look worse than us defensively, we should start on the front foot with a high line - 3 of the back 4 aren't slow now, and just pin them back all game.

Benitez is intrinsic a defensive first manager, we push up against them they will retreat backwards rather than try to turn it into an open game.
