Guest Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 We've only played one group game man. And two play offs. Both were dross. It's obvious that we're going to play weakened teams in the EL btw, what do we expect? There are teams in this taking it much more seriously than we are. Fulham did exactly the same getting to the final. They played shadow teams pretty much upto the last 16, then they went full strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

broonalegeordie Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I want 3 home wins, so a strong line up, but Pards can do as he pleases in the away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Full strength please. We may be playing man Utd on sunday but we won't have any travelling this week while they have a tough trip into the unknown against what looks like a decent Romanian side and will almost certainly go full strength.

I have a soft spot for Bordeaux. Lived there for a year and it was one of the best years of my life. Got a lot of time for their football team too.

M4 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Been waiting for this fixture and especially the reverse for some time too. The thought of Shola gracing the Bordeaux stadium pitch 5-5 or Newcastle win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Really looking forward to this - seeing us up against decent European opposition. Hope we have enough resources to put out a strong side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'm not confident about this game at all. They've gone seventeen matches undefeated in all competitions. Really, all that has to be said is that they are a talented (certainly better than Reading or Norwich), organised side from a very competitive league, and if we don't come prepared to play/put out a side of young players and reserves they will defeat us. Looking at the match against, Brugge, it seems that they put out a side that was nearly full strength. The other two sides in the group are quite weak, imo, but we'll make progression hard on ourselves if we don't finish sides at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How strong a side do you think we'll need to play to have a chance of getting something? First choice lineup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ItalianMagpie Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 There's no way on earth Pardew is gonna field a full strenght squad for this with Man United game scheduled for next Sunday. Considering the respective forms and the bunch of youngsters we're gonna see in black and white on Thursday, I'd be happy with a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweMatt Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'd like to see Ferguson from start - he has deserved that. Let's hope that Bordeaux is not fielding their strongest XI... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Highlights from their win at Lyon (Official video): Seems like Carasso was in good form and the result might not tell the whole story given the stats at the end. Still will be a tough game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The Ligue 1 official youtube channel is going to greatly increase my enjoyment of this season. Freely available video of every major goal/incident at my fingertips. Well, that along with the inevitable return of OM to the summit in May, and the continued failures of Qatari FC.

J7 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Full strength please. The team seem to need practice playing together, and the 'rest' doesn't seem to be doing them much good anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 With Man Utd on Sunday, there's not a chance in hell we'll see a first XI. Lets please try and avoid the outrage when the team is announced which I think will be similar to what we put at in the League Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Since when can footballers not play twice in a week? I know that its not something that can be sustained week after week throughout the season, and three games a week is maybe too much for some, but seriously players have gone soft if they can't manage the odd midweek game on top of the regular weekend ones. Full strength for both games this week for me, especially as they are at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 There's a 2 week break after the Man United game too, so I'm sure 2 games in 4 days shouldn't be too much of a problem - would like to see a strong lineup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew says it's a strong team regardless of what side is out there as he's always hyping up the not-so-goods so I'll just wait and see I reckon. Finally got round to booking my tickets for this today, absolutely loads of seats left in the Gallowgate. Hopefully it picks up a bit this week as we get closer to the game.

Shayno Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Wouldn't mind us playing a similar system to Bordeaux (3-5-2) actually long term. You can see in the highlights how influential Tremoulinas was as a LWB and would like to see Fergie given a chance in that position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
