I think the most dangerous thing for us is that because they have nothing to play for, win, lose or draw they finish up 13th so they will be relaxed with no pressures other than pride to play for.

If we can take the game to them, without taking risks and get one of our early breakaways, which we often do, then control the game with a strong defence and mid field, then we can see it through.

Under the return of David Moyes, Everton have been much improved and not the easier touch they were earlier in the season.
The Toon Army are gonna be well up for it. 4pm kick off on a bank holiday weekend. The atmosphere is gonna be fire!!!

This squad are winners. They are Champions. They have silverware in the cupboard. Everton blew their emotional load last week with their Goodison Park Send off. There was a lot of good byes. A lot of old heads, Colman, etc got through less than 20mins.

It was basically a testimonial against rock bottom Southampton.

This match is far too much for them. Ever Newcastle Player will be up and at it!

We will win this at a canter. 3 or 4 - 0, maybe that Iliman Ndiaye geezer might sneak one but that's all they've got. Beto is a poor mans Shola.

Their fullbacks have collective age of 84.
