I expect Liverpool and City to win, if we lose here that’s a hefty gap that I don’t feel like we’ll be able to close.
If we lose here it’s basically over. There’s no way we can expect City to drop that many points. And Newcastle have been woeful this season, there’s no reason not to beat them
tbf St James is always a hard game just cuz of the stadium but like. yeah no we are disappointing. And that’ll be two losses in a row in the league.
That’s the thing, though, Newcastle have been terrible all season. So of course they revive themselves for when we come to town.
City drew here and this was a chance to finally make up some points, and we’re squandering it.
Playing with 10 men has decimated our squad on top of international injuries. Both things that we really need to address in future.
how do we address the first thing, pay refs?
If we’re really not going to win the league, then I think we need to hammer the refs. Call out every incident. Take the fines. We can’t pay off the refs - we’d need to outbid Qatar.
