5 of the current top 6 threads on RTG have something to do with us or our former players.  :lol:

 

:lol:

A while back they had 12 or 14 threads which all had something to do with us on the first page of their forum. They love us  :smitten:

Think Adam Johnson will be a handful against us, keep him out of the game and we've a great chance to beat them, again. Need to keep up the 4pts a season off them.

 

Think he'll be a gift tbh. If we go for their throats he's not great at tracking back and chipping in

Possibly, but he can make things happen out of nothing and you know he'll want to prove a point against us. Hope he buckles spectacularly of course. Sess has always stepped up his game against us as well. Think we should have enough defensively to cover them, also the team should be settled by then as well. Us getting up a head of steam in the next 4-5 games, barring injury, will be a massive worry for them.

Has Sessegnon done anything against us? I can't honestly remember.

 

Assaulted Tiote  :lol:

 

He's a handful and scares defenders when running at them. Maybe I'm overalls concerned, can't wait to see hba do that for us.

When they kept saying his elbow was nowhere near Tiote's face yet the slow mo replay shows his lips/cheek shaking from the contact :lol:

I think that when you play them with their current set up, you either need a very early goal or a late one, as per Reading. They are designed basically to contain and hit teams on the break with Sessegnon and McClean using their pace.

Last season at SJP, we pounded away at them for almost all of the second half and only a late goal by Shola got a point....they had got a penalty in the first half, thanks to Williamson and then basically sat on it, especially after Sessegnon was sent off.

 

They are tight in m/f and hoofing it long a'la Pardew/Krul etc is not good because they tend to win a lot of second balls by virtue of their numbers in m/f.

 

You have to keep the ball and make then chase ; undoubtedly, we have better players in most areas now, but they need to impose their skills on the game as opposed to getting drawn in to a long ball battle. Colo always seems to enjoy playing against them...!

Should be a very interesting game with 2 contrasting styles...unless Pardew reverts to type....

Don't think Adam Johnson will cause too many problems to us. We have two solid full backs which is more than we've had on the last 3/4 occasions. Johnson went missing at their place this season, we have far, far superior players in Marveaux, Gouffran and of course, Ben Arfa.

 

Hopefully Cuntermole plays and Sissoko can fucking destroy the little rat boy. The derby isn't worth thinking about yet, imo. They're far too irrelevant atm to us.

Marveaux and Gouffran are far, far superior to Johnson? If that's what you're saying, then IMO it's a tremendously deluded statement.
