00:00Next up for Newcastle United is the visit of Manchester United to St James' Park
00:06Given the fact that they've just beaten Leicester you'd think they wouldn't have to react
00:10but the performance wasn't brilliant
00:11but this is a Manchester United side they should be beating
00:14I'm not saying relatively with ease
00:17although to be fair in the December game
00:19that first half at Old Trafford was sublime
00:23and if they can replicate anything like that at St James' Park on Sunday
00:27then it should be another three points for Newcastle
00:30Yeah, you'd hope so
00:32I think the one factor from that game which will go against them
00:36is obviously Bruno Fernandes, he did miss that one
00:38and he's been there
00:40I think they're only shining light really
00:43I watched them at the weekend against Manchester City
00:46it was a horrendous game
00:47it was two teams that didn't really look up for it
00:49and I think that if Man U come to St James' Park with that similar performance
00:53then hopefully they will get blown away by Newcastle
00:57Yeah, it's another one
01:00because you do talk about Man U and we should be nervous
01:02we should be worrying
01:03but realistically this is, you know, fifth place in the Premier League
01:07against 13th place in the Premier League at home
01:10that's what the stats say, you know, with what, seven games after the season
01:14it should be a home banker
01:15or certainly the home side will go in heavy favourites
01:18you just want them to, you know, show what they did against Liverpool
01:23I know it's hard to replicate their final performance
01:25I don't think they'll ever will
01:25I think that was almost a flawless performance
01:28but you just want them to outrun Man U, outfight
01:31you know, we all remember that Eddie Howe's famous team talk
01:35before the meeting a couple of years ago
01:38and that was at a similar stage of the season
01:40so yeah, there's nothing to fear from Manchester United
01:42there's nothing that they need to worry about
01:43they just need to, you know, make a statement
01:46because if they can get that win against Man U
01:48you know, there will be a team around them
01:50that drops points this weekend, I'm sure
01:51because that's just how it goes
01:53and I said it's all about getting that momentum
01:55for when they come up against harder, you know
01:57harder games towards the end of the season
01:59but for the first time, probably in Asia
02:02I don't think I'm worried about Manchester United
02:03I know last year there was a similar form
02:05heading to St James'
02:06and as you say, you know
02:07you guys were really good on that night
02:09you know, 1-0 flattered Man U by a long way
02:11and they were really good at all Trafford
02:13so yeah, I'm confident of a win
02:15and, you know, it's less of a statement
02:17than it has been in previous years
02:19but in Manchester United at home
02:20but it would be a massive three points
02:22It would be
02:23and it would set them nicely
02:25for the Crystal Palace game as well
02:26and then obviously Villa
02:27you know, it's three games in six days
02:29starting with Man United
02:31so it would just
02:32I know you'll have tiredness and fatigue in that time
02:35but at the same time
02:36confidence momentum also carries you a long way
02:38and it just sets that week off nicely
02:41before the end
02:42obviously get a little bit of a break
02:43to the Ipswich game following that as well
02:45so yeah, it's a huge game
02:48I mean, let's be honest
02:48they're all huge from now until the end of the season
02:50just because of the position they're in
02:52and what they're trying to qualify for
02:53but you have to back them
02:55I think they've shown enough times this season
02:57that as long as they're at it
02:59they can beat anyone
03:00it's just, you just worry that
03:02when they're not at it
03:03they struggle
03:04and I mean, they weren't particularly at it
03:05against Leicester
03:06but Leicester were so poor
03:08they didn't really have to be
03:09I know we've mentioned that already
03:10but I think they'll get a reaction
03:12against Manchester United
03:13simply because of who it is
03:16and I know obviously my United fans
03:18probably love to hear that
03:19because that'll probably
03:20dig them up a little bit
03:21but it's just a case of
03:23what sort of a game it is
03:24but Newcastle I think
03:25will not understand
03:26the importance of the game
03:27and St Neighbors Park
03:29will be a cauldron
03:30on Sunday afternoon
03:31but yeah
03:33it's just
03:34in terms of the end of the season
03:35it's just one where
03:37as I've mentioned already
03:39as long as they keep winning
03:40I mean
03:40what's your feel at the moment
03:42Joe?
03:42I mean
03:43it's obviously hard to predict
03:45when there's still a lot of games
03:46still to be played
03:47but
03:47are you confident
03:48that they'll do it?
03:50I think I am
03:51I think the one worry
03:52and it has been a worry
03:53throughout the season
03:54is if you get an injury
03:54to Alexander Isak
03:55or
03:56you know
03:57we've seen Gordon out recently
03:58just one little
03:59Tenali
03:59or Joe Linton's suspension
04:00of course
04:01he's you know
04:01running the tie rope
04:02I think that
04:02one of them things
04:04could just knock them down
04:05a little bit
04:05especially the Isak one
04:07because Callum Wilson
04:08you know
04:08he didn't look up again
04:09about it on Monday night
04:11Willis Sula sort of
04:12it's raw talent
04:14but nothing that can be
04:15sort of translated too much
04:16so I think Isak's the one worry
04:18that if he does get injured
04:19between now and the end of the season
04:20that could knock them
04:21but
04:22if they can avoid that
04:24which I'm sure
04:25they will be doing
04:25because I'm sure
04:26the medical staff
04:26will be doing everything
04:27they can to keep Isak
04:28on the pitch
04:29I think that's the only way
04:30that this momentum
04:31gets derailed
04:32as an injury
04:33and I think that
04:33they're good enough
04:34certainly in a couple
04:35of the games
04:36to sort of
04:37deal with an injury
04:38to Alexander Isak
04:39but other than that
04:40I think they'll be
04:41fine
04:41I think they'll be
04:42I might even think
04:43the fourth place finish
04:44that's what you're going to do
04:45because they'll be
04:46waiting for A 30 damage
04:47or even if they were
04:48you know
04:49they're going to be
04:50I don't think they'll be
04:50as long as long as they'll be
04:50but the second place
04:51issue is
04:52if they're going to win
04:53it's a good point
04:54if they, like,
04:55you know
04:55to be killed
04:56and if they'll be
04:57that way
04:57need to go
04:58talk
04:59while they're
05:00talking about
05:00and
05:00Bye
05:02Bye
