If it's around 7/1, metaphorically bite their hands off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Listening to pundits and fans today, I got the impression that Stoke have us beaten already. A team who needs the first goal, because they lack the balls to come from behind. If they DO get the first goal, it STILL depends on wether the defence can avoid mistakes. And they're mistake-ridden. I believe it'll be a 1-1 draw....or a defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythelads Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Stoke are a top side, a big place, a big club and should be in the Premier League. We have to treat them with respect and prepare for it properly. The most important thing is we make things difficult for them and keep it tight. We probably can't win the match but we can certainly play for a 0-0, get them back to our place and finish them off after extra time and pens.

thewellander Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I didn't see yesterday's match, so this isn't based on the most recent form. EDIT: I originally had no African players but the official site is saying that everyone is available for this game, and Martins will be around for Man Utd. ------------Given------ Beye---Taylor---Roz---Enrique Milner--Smith---Emre---Duff --------Owen----Viduka Subs: Harper, Cacapa, Butt, N'Zogbia, Martins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythelads Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Lose this one and I think that's it for Sam. Maybe. I know this is the "way of it" in football but it's daft really. The idiot is well out of his depth and should go regardless of what happens in the next match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bleedinblacknwhite Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Milner and Butt were awful last night so i'll start with this: Given Beye Casapa Taylor Enrique Duff Beye Emre Zoggy Owen Viduka Didn't know we had two players called Beye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Have we got the African players still for this match? when does the ANC start? I think we still have them all, this will be their last game. Thats right, but Martins may still be available for the next fixture according to SSN reports Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Monkey Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I expect us to win this game, fairly comfortably, albiet with the odd potential scare or two that every match brings. 2 or 3 nil, i reckon. It'll be hailed as a triumph for Fat Head by his fanboys, who will then make excuses after we get humped in the league for the next 2 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Won't be easy, but we're Newcastle UNITED. Why not just put all vendettas against the manager aside, whatever anybody thinks, its hardly 'United' if we're not cheering the lads and singing their names to inspire them...

Thats not actually why we're called "united", mind. If they did their turn inspiring US, they might find it reciprocated. Very hard to chant for the likes of Viduka and Smith when they aren't actually any good, isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because our next league match is away to Man Utd, we won't be allowed to complain when we get hammered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
