I want three predictions from the regulars before the season starts. Firstly the overview. How many points are we going to get. What position are we going to Finish in and why. Here’s mine.
If Pardew can get 26pts from the first 19 games last season. Then we should be able to at least equal that. We have strengthened the team and got a better manager and coaching staff. On the downside we have a tough start, and a poor preseason. So I’m going to hedge my bets with 50pts finishing 9th.
Second the starting lineup against Southampton on Sunday.
Based on what we have seen that will be Krul; Jaanmat; Williamson, Taylor, Haidara; Anita, Colback; Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Obertan; Cisse. Others will get their cance but not this weekend.Finally the score against Southampton. I’m going for 2-1 us. Clean sheet it wont be so we have to score. Cisse & Gini to come good. Here’s some classic commentary from our 2-1 home loss last season;
OK that’s my load of rubbish. What’s yours?
Report toon are looking at Brighton c/h Dunk,said to be the best c/h in that lge,Fulham have had a 4mil bid turned down

Oh and a dictator is someone who unilaterally makes the rules and decisions without input from anybody else. Not sure how that can work on a blog like!

Hope so, Ice. We need something resembling a back up centre half.

So Colo has signed a one year contract extension! Not sure what to make of that one.

Colos signed a new contract 😆
Love the man but what the ****

Did anyone see that coming?
Stuart79(Quote)
Nope I assumed he’d see out the season here and move back to Argentina
CC(Quote)
Well I certainly didn’t expect that at all. But Colo is still our best CB when he’s on his game and his head is right.
It puts to bed any suggestion that he’s not happy at Newcastle or he’s pushing for a move away though.

We finished 10th just over a year ago and only played well in November and December
It’s a **** league, 70/ 80% of the teams lose more than they win, A handful of teams end up with positive goal difference
personally think we will finish slap bang in the middle of the table, Scoring and conceding loads but I think it might be quite fun viewing which has been a long time coming. Going for 10th again

Didn’t I say Colo might get a rolling contract extension like John Terry did and someone made fun of me?
Eric Sykes(Quote)
what a waste of money giving that loser an extension
TOONARMYELITE(Quote)
another 2 season of being weak in the air and flirting with the drop
TOONARMYELITE(Quote)
I think jabba has seen there was no sell on value with Colo so better the devil you know,just hope it does not rule out getting another c/b in that’s my worry

We all missed the big news though – Jak Alnwick signed for Port Vale.

Ice @238: we are f#cked on that front now. This is it. Colo plus a-nother. Please do not let it be Willo. We have Mbemba, Taylor, Dummett, Lascelles, Janmaat, road cones.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
If Colo is our best defender (he probably is) then dear oh dear!

Maybe we can swap Willo for Dunk at Brighton, ime sure CH will be up for it (not)
icedog(Quote)
This may be the most stupid thing I have ever said (what, even more stupid) but I changed my mind and I am going for 3-1 on Sunday to us.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Ice – didn’t he buy him in the first place.

Aye mate your reet I think mate,that gives me hope 😆

Can’t believe that about Colo 😯 Was looking forward to a different captain next season. 🙄
kimtoon(Quote)
I thought he was chomping at the bit to return to Argentina and San Lorenzo 😆

This is what I said on the previous thread before the Colo extension. I have to be right once in my life 🙂
“Looks like Steve put his arm around Colo and told him he is loved and Colo said he had always been loyal anyway 🙂 They must have gazed lovingly into each others’ eyes on that trip to Everton and pledged fidelity.
Colo will probably retain the Captaincy and if he does OK might even get a rolling 1 year extension like John Terry.
I would be surprised if we get another centre back in this window with 2 new ones to bed in.”

Brighton. local rag reporting SM has a interest in Dunk from his Derby days but think he will go to Fulham
icedog(Quote)
Does that mean Willo will now want an extension too?
kimtoon(Quote)
He can have my foot, extended to his ****, right out the door, Kim!
Stuart79(Quote)
Ice – was Willo there when Hoots was manager?. He might fancy the idea of Willo & a bit of cash for Dunk.
I watched quite a bit of the Championship last season and I reckon Dunk & Hanley from Bburn could be PL players. But similar to Lascelles, Dunk would really need time with an experienced CB for at least a season.
