Pilko

Krul; Debuchy, Coloccini, Taylor, Santon is the back five... then my fucking BBC Newcastle feed stopped

I'm pretty confident that if Shola and Williamson don't start the game, we'll win. I'd like to see Jonas dropped but of the three, he's the least shit and we can probably just about carry him.

Sissoko is 25/1 FGS with Betfred. Ludicrously good. Quite like NUFC -1 and Watford -1 too.

Why do people think Anita won't play? Did he pick up a knock or summat that I've not heard about?

Betfred doing 25/1 for FGS tonight... gotta be worth a punt!

gerrin

I do understand in some respects that because of the influx of new signings (and Colo staying) that several might have gotten a bit carried away into thinking we're nailed on to win tonight, and those who are of a more pessimistic nature have been falling over themselves to remind them that we could still lose. I'm fairly confident, but still have that thought in the back of my mind that we could lose. FWIW there's no point in being really, really negative unless at quarter to seven we see the lineup and it's Cisse on the right with Shola up top.

Tonight: Newcastle/Sunderland double Moussa Sissoko FGS e/w BTTS for all four PL fixtures Stoke/Wigan draw, Barnsley/Millwall draw, Watford Swindon, Oxford, Notts County

Nice try at shifting some of Pardew’s failings onto Coloccini. The job of a captain these days is mainly symbolic as no team should have to rely on one player for anything once the game kicks off. Not having that like. I know when you were younger the captain used to help pick the team and everything, the role is certain different to what it once was, but there's no co-incidence that teams with a weak/poorly-picked captain might struggle more than ones with a strong leader.

Surprised and pleased that Sissoko is gonna start the game. Personally I think Yanga-Mbwia will start too and Gouffran will get 25 minutes or so off the bench, based upon nowt in particular.

Hahahah this is fantastic

3-0 now

QPR :lol:

Zabaleta is one of the most underrated players in the entire Premier League, tbf. He's absolutely excellent in most respects.

This is actually the best I've seen Stoke play in ages, they've passed it about rather neatly and they concede

It's a bit like when Kinnear wanted to get M'Bia in his January window, and instead we got to witness the Kev and Nicky 'Outrun the Flash!' masterclass every week. Except this time we've got better players to start with and we actually got our man. And a marginally better manager.

This has been reasonably entertaining stuff. I reckon Stoke will nick it.

All 3pm FA Cup teams to score at about 290/1 Just went with £1.50 on Stoke in-play at HT, 4/1 Got an acca which I think was all the 3pm Prem teams to win their FA Cup ties

Best signing of the lot. Delighted.

That's class
