Fans are cool.
I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away" I staggered back to the underground You know the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwing punches around And preaching from my chair...
Hoo are you? (Hoo are you? Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo?) (Hoo are you? Hoo are you? Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo?) I said (Hoo are you? Hoo are you? Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo?) I really want to know (Hoo are you? Hoo are you? Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo?)
The series Trends reveal that Nikolai Topor-Stanley (3 goals) and Newcastle United (27 points)—just 3 points off 6th place and a potential Quarterfinals Playoff berth—and CCM are as close as two clubs can possibly be over a large Sample Size with the Jets 17-17-15 in A-League play (62 GF-61 GA) and 17-18-16 overall in all competitions (65 GF-65 GA) with Newcastle 6-8-10 (31 GF-37 GA) Away in the series in A-League action. Sample Size, Sample size, It's Christmastime in the City...
Newcastle United have W6 of 8 in the series (6-1-1) with the lone Loss (2-3) at Home in Week 22 of the 2018/19 season Down Under. The Jets have scored at least 1 goal in the L8 meetings (5-2-8-2-1-2-1-4) and have averaged 3.13 gpg over that span largely because of that anomalous 8 in an 8-2 win back on April 14, 2018 in which current club members O’Donovan (2) and Dimitrious Petratos both tallied.
When these two met earlier this season before Lysol sudden;y became extinct in March, the Jets won 4-3 on Feb 8 as creative MF Petratos (5 goals, A-League-leading 8 assists) had a Brace and Newcastle United benefited from and OG and the two tied 1-1 in Matchweek 1 here at Gosford—strangely enough CCM’s only Draw on the season. That fucking Pangolin.
The aforementioned O’Donovan (9 goals), Steven Ugarkovic (4 goals) and
Newcastle have been playing well of late with just 1 Loss in its L9 games (5-3-1) after a horrific 2-4-9 start which made it seem the Postseason was just a pipe dream this year.
Since the
A-League restart last week, Newcastle United are 1-0-0 after upsetting Sydney FC, 2-1 on Tuesday at Sydney as Petratos provided the drama and game-winner at the 90-minute mark to make it 4 Wins in 5 matches for the
J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!—their best run of the season. Confidence may not be able to be quantified but it can be qualified, as can No Confidence (CCM). 1+1=3.
And now Newcastle United gets a club on a
11-game Losing Streak who have 2 goals in their L3 games and who have been outscored
32-9 (3.56-1.0) in the process? I’ll bite Bromo Sapien if that’s what betting against a Rat is. Sometimes handicapping is a lot of just looking at
Red (L),
Green (W) and
Yellow (D) boxes and thinking. Color coding and ranking things has helped my $ports Betting. Be Best. Wear a mask on yo Brain.
