Tonight's footie 3/1

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jan 03, 2023 6:37 pm

Nothing in the Champ this evening, but 4 PL games.

Arsenal-Newcastle the pick victory for the Gunners would put them 10 points clear, while Newcastle win would see them go 2nd and only 6 points adrift,

Everton-Brighton big game for Everton following their surprise 1-1 draw at City, Brighton's form is patchy since Graham Potter left for Chelsea, but they have won their last 2 away PL games.

Leicester-Fulham vital for Leicester they get something having lost both PL matches since the post World Cup resumption, Fulham enjoying an unexpectedly good season back in the Prem, and just maybe they might feel a European place isn't beyond them.

Man Utd-Bournemouth should be a routine home win now Erik ten Hag is exerting his influence at OT having got Utd back into the top 4, hopefully Bournemouth will be given the run around tonight ahead of our visit south on Saturday.

Arsenal v Newcastle is a good test for both, two very in-form teams. Newcastle will have to be at their best defensively to keep the gunners out but definitely capable of creating some trouble upfield themselves with Wilson back in. I'll go 2-1.

Everton v BHA & Foxes v Fulham look like two draws but Man U should beat Cherries given the form their currently in - although tonight's CH pairing of Lindelof & Maguire have been dodgy on occasion in the past.

I'd go Arsenal-Newcastle as a draw.
United win

But I couldn't win a one-ticket raffle, so it won't happen.

Arsenal have won their last 6 home fixtures against Newcastle by an aggregate score of 14-0. Not been a happy hunting ground for the Toon in the past.

I think it'd be great for Arsenal to win the league, and I think it'd be bad for Newcastle to win the league, and simply status quo if Man City win the league, so I'm going for the Gunners.

Had Man City or Newcastle not had all those billions pumped in then I'd probably root for Newcastle.

Haha. Poor Everton. I thought they’d stick with Lampard but it would only take an embarrassing defeat such as this to break the camel’s back.

When you answer to nearly going down is to sign a couple of Burnley players you know you're in trouble

That’s Lampard done then.

Far too many shrinking violets in that Everton team, and not enough rocks.
They ruined Michael Keane, having a crap team around him, I hope they don't ruin Tarks as well.

Some high quality falling to the floor in this Arsenal game.
Really top class from both sides.

Another clean sheet for Nick Pope.

Those Newcastle fans will be cursing his kicking on the way home no doubt.

1-4 full time. Lampard has been nothing but a disaster for Everton.

Howes absolutely transformed Newcastle. Fully deserved the point.

Arsenal, not sure they’ll last much longer at the top on that showing.

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Tue Jan 03, 2023 9:45 pm

Being Newcastle manager isn’t doing Eddie Howe any good at all. He’s starting to mutate into an inhabitant. Fat, fat, fat! Giving Steve Bruce a run for his money.

PremierLeagueClass · Post by **PremierLeagueClass** » Tue Jan 03, 2023 9:46 pm

You don’t see Howe get involved like he did with Arteta at the end there very often. Got a serious case of small man syndrome Arteta.

He was lucky Pickford and Richarlison both hit purple patches late last season to see Everton safe by a whisker.

I did think they'd have enough to survive again this season, however after that collapse I'm not so sure.

Lampard will get the push perfect week to do it with it being cup week.

And Rodgers might not be far behind as Leicester were also booed off tonight.
