How on earth does Armstrong keep getting starts

He runs around a lot

Fucking Armstrong. One of the worst I’ve ever seen at this level, pathetic. We’re getting humped dry

No Ramsdale. Double figures incoming

Injured, or not playing against his next employer?

I'd give Archer a start to be honest

I’d much rather try archer once with TP. (Not that I overly rate him)

Archer was atrocious at Forest.

So was Armstrong, who has been repeatedly poor.

Marginally more atrocious than Armstrong who at least got in a position to miss his kick from about two yards

I’d play my fucking old gran if she was still with us. More chance of some entertainment.

[Jack]

Feels like a straightforward away win doesn’t it. Manning, Bree, McCarthy, Armstrong all miles off it at this level.

I'm sure we'll come shining through👍

[Hawkswood]

Will be very happy to be proved wrong  but.........another 5 incoming?

[LGTL]

Could comfortably be 5, 6, 7 or whatever Newcastle want it to be. We have to be the most uncompetitive Premier League team in history.

Given it’s against Eddie Howe I would have gone with Fraser instead of Armstrong. They are equally bad admitted but RF would have that little bit of bite about him to put one over that smug grinning bastard

So what’s your point? Armstrong gets picked ahead of another equally awful player, that’s Saints squad this season.

[Saint NL]

Newcastle to he 3-0 up at half time, come out for the second half and hardly put any effort in. We'll score an early one and have one or two half chances while the Geordies keep us at arms length.

Everyone will praise Ivan's half time team talk and we'll do it all again next week 👍

Yawn. So Armstrong has been better has he? 

[gio1saints]

It’s interesting to see Ivan out in the middle watching the warm up. Not something RM did far as I can remember. Seems as interested in nufc warm up as ours . 
nb he’s just gone back in

Anyone got a stream please? Thanks 

[macca155]

Oh we are doomed aren't we. I can see another 5 against coming.

At least I get a badge on my pie. So there's that.

Newcastle fan, I assume?

[east-stand-nic]

Might not be a bad idea to start with AA as he will run and run and create space. With TP holding up things and AA speed it could cause problems. Ready to bring archer on later perhaps when Newcastle tire?

Let's face it, we haven't much else.

That's probably the plan in the 2nd half. Too late by then.

[Lard]

How exciting…on the brink of another record today,to add to the collection.
it could be our 6th straight loss at home in the premier league. 
great time to be a Saints fan.

My point is Armstrong getting far more opportunities to be awful.

i do agree today’s options are particularly bad. I even think Ballard is unfortunate to not even make the bench considering the attacking injuries.

[Saint Matty 76]

Doesn't even look like a great Championship side.

Incredible how bad the recruitment was this year.

🙄. Actually a Saints fan ………but currently in a hotel in Pattaya and it seemed like more fun than Soi 7

[gio1saints]

AA is mostly nailing it in the warm up shots. Got to put him on score anytime. I can see a penalty ….😄

Newcastle beat Sheffield United 8-0 away last season I think, so wonder if they can surpass that.

This is hopefully the bit where we now win and I look stupid (please!).

 

[Baird of the land]

Apparently 1 win in 35 prem matches according to 5 live.

[BotleySaint]

I reckon it'll be game over by 3.15.

Not sure how Juric can keep picking the same defence.

What's the opposite of the invincible?  I suppose we should be glad that we've at least won a game this season to avoid such a fate.

[goodymatt]

McCarthy looks quite nervous. Wonder if he will assist another goal for them today. 

[Saint NL]

Good strength from tall Paul 😂

[northam soul]

Link to a stream anyone ?

Edited Saturday at 15:03 by northam soul

[Channons orse]

Any streams please

[Saint Fan CaM]

Looking very open for them already.

[Saint NL]

Commentator said "it's all too easy" for the first time today after 2 mins.

Impressive 

[obelisk]

One way traffic.

My 81 year old mother-in-law would be an upgrade

[Saint Fan CaM]

Manning absolutely outstripped - completely out of position. What a liability.

[miserableoldgit]

I'm confident!! 2-1 Saints on my "Super Six!!" Can feel the money rolling in already!!🤪😜

[Saint NL]

Big Les has reverted to his form under Martin

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can’t get a foot on the ball. Utterly outclassed all over the field.
