fraz77 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Highly doubt this will be off, the council have put a lot of effort in at clearing roads and footpaths in last few years, mistakes learned after that Charlton game which was called off at the last minute in 2005, numerous games have gone ahead since with snow in the area (Middlesbrough Nicky Butt overhead kick and Chelsea, Hughton's last home game spring to mind) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You guys really want this called off? Unless they rearrange for midweek (and bearing in mind they have an FA Cup game at the weekend) that will mean that you have 17 days without a game. This board will have combusted.

I said in my predictions, I have you down for a draw...yet I also have you staying up with (I think it was) 41 points. The Villa match is the biggy - win there and it's a double-whammy.

I've been following Newcastle for long enough to have baseless superstitions about us - and I know, I know, that our Premier League status will be decided by us - not the teams around us. If our plan is to rely on three teams to be worse than us, it's already over. We're a very polarised team - when we're good, we're very good - vying for Europe and what have you, but when we're bad, boy there's virtually no one worse I really believe that. We need a win IMO.

We'll see though Villa are capable of being quite astonishingly bad at the moment, though. It's only if something clicks there (e.g. Vlaar getting back making a huge difference, them buying a midfielder with some serious nous) that I see them surviving. If anything, they're worse at home at the mo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Probably belongs in the daft questions thread but whatever; How likely is it that this game would get called off?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The snow is set to move in from the South West apparently, would be more in danger if it was in Reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Based on the way they were set out at training today the team for this is: Krul Debuchy Williamson Coloccini Santon Obertan Anita Cabaye Gutierrez Marveaux Cisse 4-4-1-1, 4-2-3-1, whatever you want to call it. Hardly groundbreaking, I know, but Taylor doesn't walk straight back in as many suspected following the clean sheet. It was pretty cut-and-dry btw, obviously lined up A team vs. B team. Only two I'm not 100% on are Cabaye and Marveaux, but as both appear in the training photos (rather than the spliced video from Pardew's press conference) I think it's a safe bet.

ExiledGeordie Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Absolutely nowt from the wings then for entirely different reasons. It's going to come down to whether Marveaux or Cabaye can pull something out of their arses either for a goal or a chance for Cisse to put away. I still think we'll win this...........just, 2-1 maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 With Cabaye starting we will look much better. I wouldn't be against playing that team, pack the midfield and just tell a couple of them to get forward and support Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Definitely Ian, that's why I have this very strange feeling called optimism somewhere deep down With Cabaye our play is a lot better plus he offers a goal threat like the one he scored at the Mackems or free kicks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I hope we look more like a team than we did at Norwich, we just need to go for it and hit them early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
