steve_69 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Diarra and Baros doubtful for the game according to nufc.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Defoe and Kanu up top then. Not too bad, if we can keep Defoe quiet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Portsmouth are a solid side, we'll be lucky if we carry on our run. TBH this will be our litmus test to see how far Keegan has taken the team in terms of tactics and confidence, this season we should be as good as a side like portsmouth. 2-2 for me.

SUPERTOON Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Defoe and Kanu up top then. Not too bad, if we can keep Defoe quiet. Nugent expected to start he is resting Kanu as much as possible saving him for the cup final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Portsmouth's record at home isn't great, they are more effective away from home. A 2-1 win for us I reckon. It's still better than ours! They've only lost two home games this season, their problem is they draw a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Why are people saying keep Defoe quiet? They should be bricking it tbh, we have 3 forwards on top form aswell, all of which are better than Defoe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 A big factor could be their midweek game, hopefully they feel a little jaded from that and emotionally jaded from their cup exploits. We'll need that and some luck to get 3 points there. Since I'll be flying for much of tomorrow, I'm not going to be able to know the result perhaps until Sunday.

hakka Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Martins and Owen will both score in this game. 2 - 1 Win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Our record down south isn't too great plus they are excellent defensively, i predict a 1-1 draw...oh f**k it 1-3 to the toon...Geremi, Viduka and Martins!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Lawro (boo) went for a 1-1, just like me on page one. Be happy with that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was waiting for the bus and looked in Coral's window, they're saying a tenner on 2-1 Newcastle with Martins to score first returns £530. It's tempting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Haha you were clearly getting the bus from the bottom of CLS. Whoever put Coral there is a wanker, it's the obvious time waster when waiting for a bus. Would take a draw tbh, biggest test we've had since the recent transformation. If Diarra and Utaka are out that will be helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'd have said Spurs was a tougher test, pre-game anyhow. Not really sure what to think about this one really. It's got draw written all over it, which means someone will probably win in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Im afraid i think this is where the bubble bursts, think this will be a 2-0 defeat, we wont be embarressed just beaten by more clinical finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thinking realistically, this can't possibly keep going. But with the way we're playing, we just don't look like losing. We look a million miles away from losing. Still cautious, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
