Minhosa Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Most important first 20 minutes of the season. Nothing stupid, no rash tackles and set our stall out to maintain possession and frustrate them into fouls. They'll come out all guns blazing so the last thing we need is to concede early. The longer the game goes goalless, the longer our fans will wind theirs up and the bigger potential to nick something. C'mon the Lads!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Alan Smith and Nolan in midfield. I just can't see us playing well unfortunately, as it will affect both our defending and our build up play going forward. Set pieces will be huge for us today. Hopefully, Sunderland play rubbish. If Sunderland lose to us at home, without Tiote and Carroll in the team, they should never be allowed to live that down. It would be an absolute disgrace for them imo. Let's hope we pull it off somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Reet - am sorted to 'watch'. Time for a shower, etc then will settle down in time for KO. Gonna grab a can of Stella to watch the proceedings with. Howay the lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 That would be epic. Even just naming him as a sub with no intention of using him might just give them a few doubts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 That would be epic. Even just naming him as a sub with no intention of using him might just give them a few doubts. Too right. I'd be inclined to do that just for the fear factor on their part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope we pull it off somehow. Is that team confirmed? I think someone on here said they were told that it was. Sorry if I'm wrong. I guess we won't know for sure till game time. If Routledge had shown more, I would have been more confident of Barton being moved inside and Routledge starting on the wing. However, he's been so poor that Pardew is more likely to play the "experienced" Smith inside, which of course will not only mean nothing from Smith, but also nothing from Nolan.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'd love it if he was actually fine, and starting, and we'd even made that fake "My derby day miss" article thing as part of the ploy. We won't though, just thought it would be cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just woke up with a terrible feeling. I've been dreaming everything from a 7-1 tonking, with Smith providing the solidation goal, to 4-0, 2-0 and 2-1. None of my dreams were in favor of us.
