English Premier League | St. James’ Park | Saturday 30 August | 16:00
To Win (90 Min)
Newcastle 11/10
Fulham 5/2
Draw 24/10
Watching Newcastle ponderously stroke the ball around St James Park on Saturday had me longing for the time when Faustino Asprilla and David Ginola made you think that Newcastle Brown Ale was the most stylish beer in the world.
I wouldn’t even take a dime from current sponsors Wonga.com if they gave it to me – clearly Newcastle need it more than I do.
They were insipid against West Ham and could’ve gone down if Big Sam had shown more inventiveness.
This week it’s Fulham, who have that trait in heaps, but with Darren Bent now in the mix, they also have someone to finish their fancy football. Will it be enough to get a win? No.
Betting Prediction:
I’d stick with a draw here.The going price,24/10.
