Only if you can get a car manufacturer into a verse.

We're a very chunky 5/1 with Coral to win on Sunday as it stands. Now I wouldn't hand on heart say "we're going to win", but those are weird odds given the respective form. Worth a fiver anyway.

I’m sure I’ve currently got a “worth a fiver” bet on Albion to be relegated from one of your previous tips. I do hope this one is more successful. I say in jest

No bad news which makes a change. Actually really happy regarding Costa. Would’ve been a shame for that to be the end of him. Aware he hasn’t scored etc, but can’t help but like the guy

They ruined it by sacking Wor Steve! He had them right on track.

He never stood a chance there, the fans hated him purely for managing Blues and Villa.

Would be good to get one over on Howe, the smarmy cunt.

This is one high-falutin' insult, I tell ya.

Tindall is *such* a wanker on the touchline.

I hate his shit 90s catalogue model vibe too. Can just see him pointing inanely at a Black & Decker Workbench. Mahogany man.

Hadn't realised they''ve only won once since boxing day (excl Cup games). Their league form is actually pretty bad.

Given this, we ought to be going into the game with some optimism ( or at least being more optimistic than I originally felt)

I mean, I did put it in the very first post on the thread...

Sorry mate. Would've read that days ago & not retained it!
Edit further proof I'd be a shit detective!

Unsurprisingly most of the Newcastle fans in my local last night were fairly confident they will beat us. There wasn't anyone thinking we could win. Which given the respective league positions is understandable, not necessarily the case based on current form though. I just feel we still have enough periods in games where we still play like a Bruno Lage team that defeat is always likely.

I think Almiron by himself has more goals than our top two scorers combined? Or close. So I can understand why they'd not think of us as a threat.

I have this sneaking hunch that Newcastle have run out of gas and will kind of just drift along for the rest of the season.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Almiron went on a crazy Amr Zaki style run but has two goals since the World Cup. Same number as Podence who has played far less.

Including Cup Games they also lost to League One Sheffield Wednesday and wilted in the League Cup final, the World Cup killed their momentum as much as it halted our slide IMO.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I always get more anxiety about games against Newcastle than any other team, I guess it's because I live amongst the Toon Army and have to put up with their gloating if we lose. So we'd better not lose (I think we probably will, but ssshh, keep that quiet). Come on me babbies!

I’ll get back home half an hour before kick off. With a decent assortment of DIPAs and TIPAs to neck while I’m watching it. Happy days. Come on Wolves, three points today would be the dog’s.
