Guest neesy111 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The fact that tickets are still available for this tells you pretty much all you need to know. - No investment - Shit Manager - Poor tactics - Inevitable beating - On sky, Monday night, £'000 a ticket Exactly. There's no excitement factor about the start of a new season and it's a real shame. Good job then that if you wanted to go on the off chance you couldn't because you won't be a member Easy excuse to ask for smaller allocations = less work for the box office staff = less staff to pay. Guess who wins again..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I might have to finish work a little earlier for this one, so I can get absolutely steaming for it, because I do not want to watch this one sober with Shola starting and us probably getting bent over 6 - 0. A shit load of drink might ease the pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Everyone is expecting us to lose this one. They have been leaking goals pre season, they have a manager who is not used to the premiership, so we should just go for them from the off. It may prove a good time to play them. Without Remy or Gomis we surely can't go two up top when we have the wealth of midfielders that we do. At the very least the team below should be able to create some goal scoring opportunities. No point having two strikers if they have next to no opportunities. Cabaye should be up for this one. Needs to show how good he is.

Krul Debuchy Taylor Colo Santon Tiote Cabaye Sissoko Ben Arfa Marveaux/Gouffran Cisse you are right we should, but we won't. We will sit back and try and hold out. So expect to be 1 - 0 after 10 mins, and all plans shot to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've never went into a season so unenthuistastic as this. Guess this what Ashley and Co do to us. This is word for word how I feel too, I'd say also "pessimistic" I AM expecting the worst - also expecting us to lose more players before transfer deadline far more than getting players in.

alexf Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Everyone is expecting us to lose this one. They have been leaking goals pre season............... I agree with everything you say but the problem is we can't score goals ourselves. It would require, as you go on to say, for us (pardew) to change our mentality and attack teams more and really go for it which we just don't unfortunately.

loki679 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'll be in Hong Kong for this one. Staying up for a 3am kick off to watch us get humped in an overpriced bar filled with glory hunting foreign fans. It's what dreams are made of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The fact that tickets are still available for this tells you pretty much all you need to know. - No investment - Shit Manager - Poor tactics - Inevitable beating - On sky, Monday night, £'000 a ticket Exactly. There's no excitement factor about the start of a new season and it's a real shame. Good job then that if you wanted to go on the off chance you couldn't because you won't be a member I don't get why you're attacking me for stating that it's difficult to get excited about this season? It's not like I'm revelling in that fact, it saddens me, but it's the truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 We will set up for this match as if we were Accrington Stanley against them in the FA Cup 4-4-2 with Shola and Cisse up front may as well be a 4-4-1. After all, we're apparently just tiny minnows just hoping to make it respectable against a juggernaut. Fully expect a scrappy affair for 20-30 min, then a goal for them which opens the floodgates. Would at least like us to have a go but I know we can't do that against a sovereign state. Just proud we can even share a pitch with the likes of them for 90 min tbh.

Seems far too painful. Pards can send out whatever team on paper - but if he had the lads believing in themselves and their own ability we're a million times better for it. The guys like Cabaye, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Sissoko etc. should be told in training to just have at Man City and show the world their talent(s). Some positivity would go a long way for these lot.
