Drawn at home to Mags in FA Cup

That’s what it’s generally billed as when lower league teams play top teams.
I didn’t make the term up.

A championship side beating a premier league side is hardly a giant killing. Maybe if we were playing one of the big teams of the premier league then maybe you'd be onto something, but we're not.

Yous aren't there just yet bonny lad.

I mean they will be huge favourites but they go on like they are worlds apart. They lost to Bournemouth a few weeks back. They lost to Sheffield Wednesday of league one at the same stage last season with a squad not too different to this season. Theyve gotten so far ahead of themselves it's beyond belief.

And Cambridge the year before. Most arrogant pricks in football.

I admire your confidence. A lot on here have chucked the towel in already.

Newcastle are beatable. No question about it. They can also be extremely difficult to score against, let alone beat. But it's not as impossible as some of the bedwetters on here make out to be.

Yous stand a far better chance than us for sure. We'll give it a good go, and you just never know. I think we'll be more up for it than you's will. Yous have superior quality.

Intriguing game ahead of us here.

If social media is anything to go by the mags are very bothered by this. Many saying they want a full strength team. Plenty saying he should rest players in December to ensure it happens and many others saying they want a goal fest, record score etc.

Obviously, first derby in closer to a decade

Why's that? You lot have generally hammered us for not being rivals anymore. Yet here we are and you lot are absolutely creaming your y-fronts about playing us.

And vice versa

I think you’ll give it a good go definitely, and yeah we’re beatable.
I don’t think you’ll be up for it more than we will be. Tbh our greatest asset currently is our workrate, commitment and team spirit. Vast majority of clubs have struggled to match that so unsure if you’ll be able to ?
I’ve not seen a great lot of SAFC so unsure of your team spirit and work rate etc or if it’s a major strength of yours.

Unless we play our way back into form in the next few weeks we will probably get annihilated. 4 - 1 / 5 - 1 to the Saudis

But they have lots of fixtures too and the game will probably come too soon for any new signings.

You never know with Sunderland.

Sorry for a new thread but thought I’d keep this for predictions only.

For me,

0-2. We put up a good fight but unfortunately not strong enough. I also think there’ll be 8 yellows and one red each for both teams. Ballard for us, Joelinton for them.

Ballard goes off we’ll get beat about 0-8

Fuck that.

Aye when yous are under dogs , great. Easy to have team spirit when the world's against you.

Yous went down to Bournemouth the other week fully expecting to turn them over with ease and got out fought
 
Depends on how long we can keep it to nil.

If they score a couple in first 15 or 20 minutes it could be a horror show.

Least I still expect us to give it a go.
PSG spent a lot more than us but I didn’t cower to them the way you go to us.
Like I say. Something I never thought I’d see.

I mean I’m not giving us no chance but we will need everything to go our way but your logic here is miles off. Your current squad cost about 550m quid, ours was about 25m. PSG would need a squad that cost about 10billion quid to be the same sort of gap. Plus when you get round the figures yous have been spending it should be proper high end players, players that can be close to equals of players who cost 10m or so more. You’re likely going to be playing a left winger who cost 160 times more than the right back he in up against. Apart from Dubvrka, is there a player in your squad who you paid money for you didn’t cost at least treble the most expensive player in our squad?
