Newcastle United vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

My first ever trip to St James. Hopefully I can break the curse!
Failing that, it’s all my fault! Sorry.

John Percy in the Sunday Telegraph is reporting that Elliot is in the squad.

It seems the 10 game issue was 5 in echo half of the season.

what does in echo mean?

Think it’s “second” that’s been autocorrected.

I got vertigo when I went. Good for cardio though.

Can we count Elliott's minutes on the pitch towards 5x90 total so that he can contribute to more than 5 games from the bench?  A bit like when Greizman first went to Atletico?

[Goldenballs]

I've completely lost track of where we are with the poor chap.

If he plays 5 times between now and the end of the season we have to buy him?

I went there once. By the time i'd climbed up  the stairs, the game had finished.

No. I've been a few times. Never seen us win there.

I find the place a bit disorientating, half a San Siro bolted onto half a Bescot.

Given our shocking record, a point and no injuries would be a good day. We know full well that they will be coming out to boot Onana off the pitch, assuming he starts.

It would keep them at arms length, gain a point on Liverpool, and hopefully Arse beat Man Utd later. That would be a decent weekend.

Nii Lamptey finally got to Newcastle. Big Ron would be proud.

Since we came back up its been:
1-1
1-1
0-4
1-5
0-3

At our place
2-0
2-0
3-0
1-3
4-1

Will pretty similar in terms of goals scored, points gained for the home side.
I think we might get something here today.
