Mark Lawrenson...greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
is spookily nice about us in today's papers, saying that we are the Premiership's fairy tale, playing wonderful, exciting football that is a breath of fresh air and that he would happily pay £40 a ticket and travel 300 miles to do so. He also thinks we are a bit short of quality numbers in the squad to be anything other than top 6 contenders...We are also suspect defensively.

For once I agree with him, but he's still a t***er though.

Time was when we might have been happy with that, even at home. Not now but.

1-1 tomorrow and 1-1 on Wednesday and I'd be cock-a-hoop to tell you the truth.

Me too Dougal - the fixtures for Dec and early Jan have been shocking - to already have 9 points is more than I'd hoped for. Of course I would love 6 from the next 2 games but would settle for 4.

Lynda, my big fear was less about losing to Leeds and Arsenal than about the loss of a winning momentum that might see us dropping points against the "easier" sides. It will be hard to beat Chelsea without a doubt but if the Makems can get a draw out of them, we really should manage something.

I don't care how much sense Lawrenson makes on this occasion. He deserves the contempt of every geordie for comments he has made in the past. Some kind of torture involving that 'tache, strong tape and a quick ripping motion would not be unduly out of order either IMO...

Remember how Kenny D did tinker? and he bought ten left backs. Other teams then came to St James and attacked they had more shots on our goal and got a few results. As they didnt fear our attacking power...Moral: He wants us to do it again, as he wants one less competitor to compete with Liverpool.
