Deathray 2,942 Posted August 24, 2019 Time for a weekly game of How Badly Do We Think Newcastle Are Getting Battered? DR 5 v 0 WJ 5 v 1 GB 2 v 1 MS 5 v 1 GM 2 v 0 BB 4 v 0 EP 2 v 0 PB 4 v 0 Creep 2 v 1 RR 3 v 0 That's a 3.5 v 0.4 defeat; or to move it measurably a 4 v 0 defeat prediction. I think some of you rather overestimate Steve Bruce's tactical prowess. (in all seriousness this is a stand in for "How Badly Do We Think the Fort Are Getting Battered?) Following our shit progress all season should be demoralising enough without this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
