Thanks to Mr_Dolf, our man at St James' Park on Sunday for NUFC 3 SouthamptonFC 1 who doesn't want the season to end... NUFC
Our man at St James’ Park – I don’t think I want this season to end…However, this one screamed old school Newcastle United fudge up as we looked to repeat the trick of a frankly unlikely nine points in the space of a week that we produced not so long ago.
I looked at the positives for this one, which was that this afforded an opportunity for Joelinton to drop back and Isak to slot into that left attacking role, meaning he could get a start alongside Wilson that would have terrified, destroyed and decimated Southampton. Wilson was benched and Gordon started, which was still a promising option.
I’m sure that most reading this will be like me in that they have heard of almost none of the above mentioned, which makes this turn of events more baffling, as the likes of Adams, Walcott and Adam Armstrong were sat on the bench, but this was what we had to deal with.
The moments that followed seemed completely baffling to me. A quick review of the table tells me that Southampton were four points adrift even of second bottom Everton, never mind the six points to safety they were facing. Despite this being a difficult fixture they surely had to go for all three points, but the visitors persisted in time wasting and slowing the game down, as though the point they were hanging onto was any good to them in their dilly of a pickle.
