over 2.5 cards @ 6/4 ...

But how can they, when they've never been given a chance? I'm sick of this argument. People willing to write them off when neither have been afforded the same lengthy support from Pardew as say, Obertan and Perch for example.

Looking forward to my fantasy team getting off to a good start (Navas and Fernandinho) Navas will get James Milner'd. Very risky! I've steered clear of Man City players as it seems impossible to predict who will be played. I'll be surprised if Navas isn't a regular starter for them like. Prepare to be surprised then. Milner started ahead of him in the majority of pre-season games, despite the fact Navas joined them very early on. The constant rotating with Man City strikers and wingers will be a nightmare with City this season. Definitely nowt to do with giving Navas a break after playing in the Confeds of course. Alright, we'll see soon enough. That Pellegrini looks like he's got a whole lot of tinkerman in him. You just watch. I agree. With that much talent in the squad it must be hard to determine your best team/player selection! That could go against them in the first few games. Definitely, but they've had a lot of talent in the squad for a while now, and there are certain players who are pretty much regulars...I think Navas will become one of them.

the gods are with us. “It’s around the buttock – that’s where your power comes from,” Pardew said. “We need to be careful on that. We’re sweating on that one now.” Sweating on it..ffs I'm calling it now, the excuse for our impending rape from City: "Not enough tackle or energy, Goaltierrez in particular was a massive blow"

sadly that's likely...never any options in the central part of their half. God it's depressing

It'll be half time..... That's when the Pards magic really takes off..... Almost Shola time

Man U and spurs looking decent value this weekend

Same approach, different season.

It's a definite humping like.

It's shite. Actually prefer our home one.

We're just wasting Anita's career

Sorting out the Downing HBA swap

go on jimmy lad. poor bastard

Canny battle with Vidic and Holt like

He's an absolute bell end like.

Hazard man, really not looking forward to playing this lot. Where are they playing btw?

Lampard with another screamer

Looking forward to seeing schurrle in the prem

Not often I get to watch a match this time in the morning...gave is an excuse to get another drink

This always leads me to say people have their heads buried in sand.... I haven't been to a pre season friendly since Rob Lees debacle of a testimonial, they are boring, s*** and no indication whatsoever of what's to come. Tbf, as well as getting fit, it's to fine-tune the game plan. Nothing's going to change between now and next Monday, maybe a new player (ha) but that's it.

Aye, it's seemed fairly obvious from reports of the other pre-season games as well. It's worrying. For some anyway.

Really can't believe we're starting our final friendly before the fucking 2013/14 season with Shola bastard Ameobi.
