Eddie Howe's Sleeping Sheikhs v Norwich

DL v Palace

I suppose a draw for the first.

Anything other than a home win for the second.

Be happy with 2 draws but a palace win would be good providing we get something from tomorrow,too much to ask maybe

Sutton-Claret · Post by **Sutton-Claret** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 2:44 pm

I'd be happy with a Norwich win against Newcastle - followed by a Burnley win against them on Saturday..... that would put them further adrift at the bottom and still without a win - which could impact their recruitment in January.

Hi Sutton,

I must admit I was thinking about that. Everything depends on us starting to win games though.

Would be interesting to see how tolerant Newcastle fans remain were they to lose to Norwich and us.

Norwich win for me. Would be funny to see Newcastle relegated.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 5:53 pm

I think Norwich might get a mauling tonight. I predict a high scoring game-maybe 5-2, with St Maxim and Wilson being the Geordie heroes

them dropping would pretty much guarantee only one automatic place available from the Championship next season.

Totally agree. If we had to go this season the last club we would want to come down with us would be Newcastle. Ideally we can both drag in Watford, Saints, Brentford, Palace into the fight along with Norwich and Leeds.

I'm my ideal world, we would stay up and Newcastle go, because what they will throw at transfers should they stay up this year, I don't think they'd be flirting with the bottom 3 so that would make us staying up next year a bit harder..

All dependent on one thing as ever though, we need to turn decent showings into wins.

I've seen two newspapers today and read both their pundits predictions on Premier League finishing positions. Times has Everton, Norwich and Newcastle to be relegated. Mail has Leeds, Brentford and Newcastle. (I think I've remembered accurately). Neither has Burnley in the bottom three.

- "too good, too experienced to go down" (or something along those lines).

England Women only 5-0 up after 20 minutes. Is qualifying always this ridiculous? Not something I've noticed on this scale before

Hoping for a Wilson yellow tonight.

taio · Post by **taio** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 7:39 pm

Newcastle down to ten men.

...denying a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Surely better to let him shoot, possibly score (or miss!) and play on with 11men not 10!!!???

They were saying on the radio yesterday that that game could beat the competitive record score of 20-0.

Let's hope Newcastle shut up shop and this ends 0-0.
trouble is I doubt Eddie will do that

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 7:50 pm

Ecky thump - that decision that went in favour of Shelvey!!!!

Newcastle must have full diplomatic immunity following the red card or something. Or maybe there's a new "power play" mode where you can call in decisions?

Anyway, looks fun and adds an extra element of jeopardy to the game.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 7:50 pm

No idea how he got that decision. Linesman 2 yards away as well.

At least they'll save on the laundry bill re. Fraser's shirt.

That’s just annoyed me more than I was at the time. 30 or so minutes with Palace down to 10 men and we could’ve edged the result. So annoying.

Ignore me, thought he was covering Lascelles but just realised he plays in a 3 at the back.

Andreshotboots · Post by **Andreshotboots** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:01 pm

The good news is this might just cancel out the extra days rest on us they have as the 10 men will have to do a hell of a lot more running for 80 minutes now..

Not to mention the "break" we have had with Sunday's game being postponed.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:05 pm

Personally thought that was a penalty just then

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:05 pm

Regardless of tonight's result, Norwich don't look at have enough firepower to keep them going throughout the rest of the season.

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:05 pm

Norwich look more than capable of winning this ,quite an unbelievable turn around in results for them, I watched them against wolves who Norwich made wolves look very poor, and if they had a player who could finish would of won easily, and can play football to boot!

claret2018 · Post by **claret2018** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:06 pm

I know they’re down to 10 but Newcastle look awful

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:07 pm

A Wilson booking would be nice so he's suspended as well.

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:09 pm

These two are both awful

Unless they sign someone in January I can't see them surviving if they have to rely on Pukki alone.
