Newcastle United vs Manchester United

[ChipButty]

Let the discussion begin...

 

26% Newcastle 1-3 United 

[ChipButty]

Another different test and arguably a tougher one given the benitez defense factor and being away from home.

It's another we need to pass if we're serious though and I think we will, we'll bounce into the spurs game off a stack of wins and then it gets real 

3-1 with Rashers and martial among the goals

[ChipButty]

Newcastle are the 2nd worst home side in the league this year. have dropped 23 points out of 30, -8 GD.

 

Worst is Huddersfield with 25 points dropped at home

Have won 1 in their last 7. 1-0 away to Huddersfield

Don't forget Pogba, he's the new Cantona!

 

Did you see how he celebrated his goals on Sunday? Stood like a statue looking up at the stands, a la Cantona.

You might be right

[ChipButty]

Sanchez's issue is that he needs people around him, who:
1, press (Sanchez presses, but if nobody else helps him, there is not point in pressing)
2, is prepared to receive and make quick passes, to/from him

Under Jose, we saw that both of the above were not occurring.
Under Solkjaer (in the 3 games in charge), we have seen both of the above.

Sanchez does not have any excuses for not performing, under Solkjaer, so I really do hope that he delivers the goods and orchestrates our attacks, while guiding the youngsters around him, because as yet, we have not seen any of this at MUFC.

Personally, I would make De Gea team captain. It's worked before with keepers.

 

He is the senior player now, can see the whole game in front of him and might give him more authority in marshalling his defence. Might encourage him to stay too.

I've always thought he doesn't command his area enough not like Big Peter you could hear him in Piccadilly gardens

Big "its never my fault" Peter.

Exactly my point. Needs the authority to bully and cajole his defenders.

That should open a debate.

 

Personally I thought Shilton was technically better.

Lost a lot of support when he failed to save Domarski's effort v Poland in 73. Cost us a World Cup place that did.

No one's perfect (there was also a mix up with David Needham in a league cup final) - and PS has had his ricketts.

 

Can think of many from De Gea.

No, about 50 miles North of Manchester. Did live in Didsbury and Chorlton when I was in my late teens.

555. Typo. Already changed it. Actually from Morecambe.

[Bredbury Blue]

Morecambe? Is it mainly ManU or liverpool supporters there?

Hard to say. I was born in Morecambe but moved to Huddersfield when I was a toddler. Lived within walking distance of Leeds Road and went to the matches with my Dad. My Dad was a big fan of the manager, Bill Shankly and I was a big fan of their star striker, Dennis Law. We moved back to Morecambe when I was 10 and Shankley was managing Liverpool and Dennis law was playing for United. As we never felt welcome in Yorkshire we both started supporting (at the time) Lancashire clubs. I supported United. my dad supported Liverpool. By the age of 14 I was getting the train to Manchester and going to most of the home games with my mates. 10 bob for the train, 10 bob for entry to the ground.

With one Man U player costing more than the whole Newcastle team combined, 

what chance do we have, BUT we did give them a big shock last time !

 

The quicker the Toon is sold the better,the supporters deserve so much more,

The fat bastard has no interest in the club, so won't spend,he just interested

in his retail business.

The problem is he won't sell unless he makes silly money out of it. Nobody will pay his asking price.

 

Catch 22.

I think Newcastle deserve to be in the PL but not under the present regime I have been many time to ST James Park as it was called back in the day we did a lot of work on Eldon square when it was first built

Indeed, but when Spidey posts "Greatest keeper ever", it tends to broaden the discussion.
