I don't think they are doing anything wrong there. The PL wanted to ensure all clubs get their 2 weeks off hence why no postponed fixtures were arranged for the midweek of 26/27 January. What Newcastle do in that break is completely up to them. I still think the PL made a mockery of the rules to allow some suspect postponements in the first place, I blame them but yes there is no doubt there was a lack of integrity from Newcastle, but at the same time I can't blame them for trying in this cut-throat business.

Not the best choice of words, nta. Still, I imagine if the Newcastle players don't perform well in the next few games they'll be off to a training camp in Saudi. They'll first have to collect their visas from the embassy... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 13 January, 2022 Share Posted 13 January, 2022 The PL want to ensure clubs get two weeks off? Most have had it with these postponed games. That Newcastle game will be rescheduled for the Tuesday after we play Coventry in the cup, the bar codes have a free weekend so it will suit them and that’s all that seems to matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should push to get our game with them rearranged for Wed 26 January to piss them off 🙂 Edited 13 January, 2022 by Teddeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M271 Posted 16 January, 2022 Share Posted 16 January, 2022 (edited) Why hasn't this match been re-arranged for this week? Both clubs are free and a lot of other 'catch up' matches are taking place. May be Saints don't want to play 4 matches in 10/11 days or 5 in 2 weeks, if they had been trying to get it arranged but Newcastle were being uncooperative then I think we would be hearing some moaning from the Saints side.

manji Posted 21 January, 2022 Share Posted 21 January, 2022 I will never forgive Howe for leaking stories to the press that we had him lined up to replace Ralph, turning up at games to further fuel the stories. he’s on Celtic fans shitlist as well for applying to be manager, stringing it out for a couple of weeks before dropping them without an apology to the board. f**k him.

Wurzel Posted 22 January, 2022 Share Posted 22 January, 2022 I hope Saints have reminded the PL that we have no problem fitting in the fixture on Tuesday 25th/Wednesday 26th, so could they please contact Newcastle and see which one they prefer.

Whitey Grandad Posted 22 January, 2022 Share Posted 22 January, 2022 Absolute nonsense. They won’t play next week because it’s a winter break so they’re jetting off to Saudi Arabia instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted 22 January, 2022 Share Posted 22 January, 2022 Even this winter break crept in slyly. It used to be half the teams played one weekend, giving the other half a break and then the other half played the following weekend, giving those who played the previous week a break. That was okay, as there was still football played. Now, it's everyone's off for a mini-break, jet around the world and play money friendlies. Taking away the key element of a "break". What's noticeable is that the Football League doesn't stop playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintTex Posted 1 February, 2022 Share Posted 1 February, 2022 has anyone put together what their expected starting XI would have been had we played them when scheduled (Jan 2nd)? I know Callum Wilson and Saint-Maximin left that ManU game due to injury. Callum is still out. Would be interesting to compare that XI with the XI they ultimately play with when they play Saints - whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERMUDASAINT Posted 2 February, 2022 Share Posted 2 February, 2022 We have make up games for Newtent and Everton, both being lauded over by the press. I think we will be jammed by the 12th man again 😭 I see bias already creeping into the favorite clubs for the top half. The dream of "we are a top 6" dugout team, has a new darling manager, that the press will cheer for success. Newtent for all the monies they will spend to create the next super team, the PL will lap that shit up, money, money, money 💰 . I hope we beat them both, despite the best efforts of the refs to hand them the points. Wait and see, watch and see, my gut says we will not see a game fairly reffed from our point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ldnsaint Posted 3 February, 2022 Share Posted 3 February, 2022 7 minutes ago, adriansfc said: They'll have a far stronger side than before, but it's still a really average side managed by Eddie Howe. We need to be winning that game regardless. Guimaraes is great, but I'm surprised by how average the rest of the signings are. Wonder how far down the lists they were. I just wish there could be a football article or tweet etc without endless defensive Newcastle fans. Why does everyone hate us now?! So jealous etc. Yes we all want our club to disappear and be replaced by Saudi money being greenwashed. They know we're allowed to just go and support city if that's what football means to us right? You get a far better version of the soulless bullshit. In fact why doesn't each regime destroying a club just loan man city's team for a billion. Pay to change the rules, I'm sure it'll be fine. Newcastle fans can cheer on man city wearing a different shirt for a season and get their title. Trippier isn't an average signing. Gets in almost every PL side bar the top 3. By far the best player on the pitch against Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 3 February, 2022 Share Posted 3 February, 2022 Saints need have no concerns at all about playing the Toon whenever and whichever XI players are fielded against them. Even if they have some super talents in their line up as a result of the transfer window it won't mean these players will be match fit and fully integrated into a system of play. Remember even Howe is new there and has by no means sorted out his best XI and got them playing in a fixed and successful way. In that sense we are light-year ahead of them. As we are seeing in the AFCON semi's the noble art of fast, direct short and close passing at which we excel can be woefully absent from teams of top players cobbled together a few days or weeks ahead of a match. It takes months or seasons to perfect systems of play. We' ll beat the Toon, no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M271 Posted 4 February, 2022 Share Posted 4 February, 2022 I hope that when it is rearranged that the game schedule is the same for both i.e. They don't have a weekend off before but we are still in the cup and play a few days beforehand, possibly compromising our team picks.
