[Albion] Can anyone else not bring themselves to watch Newcastle?

[Farehamseagull]

I'll be watching. I hate Newcastle and everything they are now but it's not our fault as a club, just makes me want to beat the even more.

I just fear that following our recent pattern of results, it might be another Forest or Everton though!

 

[Reagulls]

Mrs Reagulls and I will be at Fatboy Slim at the old market place Thursday evening, not sure if to record it, try and avoid the score and watch it when we get back.
I imagine it will be all but over when he starts his set around 9.00pm or he'll conveniently start it around 9.20.

 

[Chicken Run]

Weird thread and I’ll definitely be watching ffs

 

[Durlston]

Bizarre thread.

Newcastle haven't won a major trophy for fifty or so years and have the next potential England manager after Gareth leaves. Most of their fans don't like the Saudi money but that's the way it is and most of sponsorship and owners. They've had their real shit times in the early nineties and when they were in the Championship ten or so years ago.

The OP not watching the game is being hypocritical considering Arsenal's Arab money and 'Visit Rwanda' splashed all over their pitch boards.

Load of virtue signalling clap trap IMO. Get on with it and support the Albion. If you took that principled view you’d miss half our matches, potentially even more with European football next year

What ? Can’t wait for Thurs now……flight up, plenty of time for a walk along the river, pre-match meal booked…..then the game hopefully followed by a celebratory beer or two.

Apparently we are having travel issues for this one. Can’t charter a big enough plane, staff having to get coaches up and players fly. And travel back Friday - not much time before Sunday ?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

It is on my Birthday and I have some family popping over for some food and a couple of drinks.

i may be checking my phone for some of the evening.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Just the OP and Birthday person, then

A shame after that wonderful result and performance, but I'll have to wait until Sunday to watch the team again. Not so much a boycott, but it feels so sordid to see our majestical stripes have to sully themselves by occupying the same field as that abominable outfit.

Anyone else feel the same?

what they have done in Yemen (war crimes) is disgusting so have the same feeling.

Difficulty is that we can make moral judgements on lots of owners - Man U are US owned and look what they have done/are doing post ww2. If everything is applied equally we should boycott many teams.

We won't be wearing our stripes on Thursday

 

[Lever]

It will be very tense of course, but I shall certainly be watching.

 

[Nicks]

Train up early Thursday morning and mixing with the locals up there by midday.
Wouldn't miss it for the world

 

[JBizzle]

Really looking forward to Newcastle, dreading Southampton

 

[OzMike]

2.30am here, I will be asleep..........................

The team should have booked the train from Kings Cross to Newcastle. 3 hours and a very enjoyable first class experience on LNER. Many Premier league teams use that service and Avanti on the west coast.

+2.5 hour bus ride to Kings Cross !

 

[Baldseagull]

Watch it on a dodgy stream.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

I said before the Arsenal match I was well aware we were capable of beating them. The best way to deal with the sportswashing nonsense is to play and beat them!

 

[Gwylan]

Really looking forward to it. I've been to Newcastle loads of times but never been to SJP so I'm going to enjoy my first vist. I'll arrive mid-afternoon, check into my hotel, pop out for some scran and a beer or two and saunter to the ground.

It should be a cracking match ... and even if we lose, we have three more games to win that European spot
