Here we go, finally here, first of all, very disappointing transfer window thus far, Emery must be disappointed, so following the utter corrupt PSR rules on top of the last game of last season and what that decision cost Aston Villa, we now kick off against a team that is basically in meltdown from where they should be, so we can take from that we have them at the right time, i'm going for a 2-1 win.

Draw wouldn't be the end of the world, i think if we lose this, sharp intake of breath, its going to be a difficult season, even at this point in the season and that's not an over reaction to any loss.

2-1 Villa.

Not sure it would necessarily be a tough season if we were to lose tomorrow. Bit of a bleak way of looking at it.

Possibly, we wont get a better chance of beating Newcastle this season.

It's like making love, it's better to underpromise and overdeliver, rather than vice-versa.

I’ve been getting it the wrong way round for years.

It's a common mistake, although as an accountant, it's little easier for me to manage expectations.

I think it is an over reaction. We lost the first home game to Arsenal last season and didn’t lose again at home (apart from to Crystal Kryptonite Palace in the league cup).

Anyway, I think Howe will try and create a ‘lets show em we’re not a one man team’ scenario, but they won’t be able to handle Watkins, Rogers and Tielemans and we win.

One thing we should have zero excuses on is being prepared. There’s been little to no meaningful turnover in the squad, so we should be really joined. You could say the same for them, but Isak is a massive gap for them.

100% behind what our lads can do tomorrow, hope we hammer them, really do, hope Villa show that in spite of these catastrophic rules a team can still turn it around after little movement in the transfer window, pick up from our best of best last season and absolutely give them a miserable start to there Champions league season, as for what happend yonks ago, of no consequence for me.

Our opening 2 months of fixtures really are favourable. If we can hit the ground running. Big If I know .
Can see tomorrow being 1-1

Irrelevant final score predictions for this season will be courtesy of Aston-Lee. Goodbye 2-0/0-2.

1-0.

If we have any aspirations of Top 5/6, we should be aiming to win all our home games. Anything less than 3pts against an Isak-less Newcastle is not good enough tomorrow.

I’ll be honest to be top 5 or 6 you don’t have to win all your home games. We could drop off a bit at home (although ideally we wouldn’t) and be fine provided our away form got a lot better.

After your first 3 sentences, I was expecting 5 - 0 ! 😄

I’m going 4 - 0. Ollie, Morgs, Thielemans and SGM!

Leej calling losses each match is the anti-jinx to his natural jinx order. Anyone know if his son has inherited jinx?
