Spuds Pre match thread


NSG

Recommended Posts

Fuck the international break - Let's have a week long pre match thread.

 

Teams and predictions in here as usual lads.

 

Personally i'd give Milner a rest, he's looked tired recently and desperately needs a break. Still undecided whether to play Harper or Given in nets, probably leaning towards Shay.

 

Given

Beye Cacapa Faye Enrique

Geremi Butt Emre Zog

Owen Viduka

 

Harper

Taylor

Rozehnal

Barton

Martins

 

Newcastle United 3-1 Spuds

Predicting a genuine Owen injury from the placcy pitch unfortunately - its asking for trouble playing out there if you ask me

 

4-3-3 for me in this one

 

Given

 

Beye - Cacapa - Roz/Faye - Jose

 

Barton - Geremi - Emre

 

Martins - Dukes/Smudge - Zog

 

Subs

Harper

Roz/Faye

Taylor

Dukes/Smudge

Milner

 

Should beat this lot, for once the pressure is off us and we've got a nice little run against them going.

 

3-0

Cant see both Emre and Barton starting this game although it would be nice. I always have a bad feelin about playin Spurs cos my best mate supports them.

 

Probably interchange between:

 

              Given                                            Given

 

Beye Faye Cacapa Enrique        Beye    Faye      Cacapa  Enrique

 

Geremi Butt Emre Nzogbia                    Geremi    Butt

                                                                      Emre

          Smith Owen                    Owen/Smith                    Nzogbia

                                                                    Owen/Smith

 

I reckon it'l be either 3-2 or 2-1.... to us.

Don't see any chance that Barton will start let alone alongside Emre.

 

Team i expect:

 

                        Given

 

Beye        Cacapa    Faye    Enrique

 

                          Butt

          Geremi       

                                    Emre

 

        Milner      Viduka        Owen

 

or:

 

                        Given

 

Beye      Cacapa      Faye      Enrique

 

                              Butt

              Geremi

Milner                                N'Zogbia

                            Viduka

                Owen

 

 

Close game but fancy Owen and Viduka to cause a few problems for them so prediction: 3-1.

Too optimistic some of you, spurs played (as much as i hate to say it) some class football against liverpool and i can see them giving us a rough ride.

 

true very true, although their defence is a joke frankly. i can see us causing them problems, but i dont think itll be a 900-0 thrashing like some people do. i can see us winning 3-2 in the final minutes though because i believe we are an excellent attacking team and although they are playing football, just because they got a draw at liverpool, doesnt mean they will come up here on a monday night and be even better. possible, but i like to think well win especially as im travelling 500 miles to see it!!

Isn't Smith suspended?

 

I'd go with the team in my sig. I hope we attack and don't play too defensively in midfield. Got a bad feeling about this one for some reason.

Was going to say.

I'd go for the same team, but with Roz over Faye. Might be harsh dropping Faye after he had a great game against Everton, but I still prefer the Roz

2-0 to the Toon I reckon.

 

More news on the Spurs front.  Paul Kemsley is resigning as Vice Chaiman.  Was a rumour that he was going to do a Dein and team up with Mike Ashley (when he sold NUFC), Philip Green (billionaire boss of BHS, Topshop etc) and Richard Caring (billionaire owner of Wentworth Golf Club amongst other interests with a views to buy out Levy.  The likelihood of that happening seems to be just about nil.

 

Probably more accurate is that Kemsley's nose is out of joint right now, not getting enough recognition for what he's done with the redevelopment of WHL (nothing!), sorting out the new Academy (Planning application submitted)  and excellent Annual Accounts (being released tomorrow).

 

I still think Levy will be selling up before the end of this season, but not to Kemsley.

What an awful, awful rumour. Ashley is a lifelong toon fan we'll have you know. ;)

I think he'll stick to 4-4-2. Hope so, anyway; it was a pleasant surprise to see a more balanced starting eleven against Everton.

 

Viduka and Owen in for Smith and Martins, rest unchanged IMO.

Jolly, what sort of team will you put out?

 

There were a few carrying knocks, how fit they are now I don't know.  About the only certainties are Robbo in goal and Berbatov and Keane up front.  My guess for the other 8 would be

 

Chimbonda-Dawson-Kaboul-Lee

 

Malbranque-Hudd-Zokora-Bale

 

 

Too many players with fluctuating form to see anything other than a home win.  If they all played up to their Anfield form we'd have a good chance, but they're too erratic to have optimism on that scale.
