TRon Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Mersons prediction: Aston Villa v Newcastle PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 Villa have had a nightmare getting knocked out of the Capital One Cup to Bradford over two legs, that's a shocker. However, I'm not sure going out of the FA Cup is too much of a problem, because they need to concentrate on the league. This is the biggest game for Villa in many a year. If they win they go above Newcastle, if they lose to a team who are struggling badly, they're in major trouble. But Newcastle desperately need a result too. Their five new signings will be hit or miss: they'll either settle as quick as snow or will struggle. It's a big gamble. There are going to be so many nerves in this game - but if Villa can perform how they have been for 45 minutes for 75-80 minutes I think they'll win it. Has he ever fancied us against anybody?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think about stuff like this in the same way as Sunderland-related discussions. I'm so confident in our total superiority that it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Merson has never rated us. Also about the new signings, it's not like we're going to be fielding 5 or 6 new players ffs. We'll play 3 at most and probably 2, that's hardly wholesale changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Merson not the brightest tool in the box, but a tool all the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Even fielding 5 new players is a good idea if the ones they replace are vastly inferior, as the case is here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Pundit being paid thousands to talk about football, could have at least spent some time researching the players we have bought before commenting. So goes for most pundits really. Lazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Even fielding 5 new players is a good idea if the ones they replace are vastly inferior, as the case is here. They've all had a good few days to train with each other, so the team should have a good idea about each new player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Live on Fox Soccer over here (Caribbean) so I'll have to suffer through it. Third game in a row they've shown live, we better play better than against Norwich and Reading. A draw wouldn't be the end of the world. Have to watch Bentake, by far the best forward on the pitch.
