ScottishMagpie Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Don't think we'll get pasted as the players will be miraculously far more motivated. 1-2 seems likely. I know it's head in the clouds kinda thinking but would be nice if the club told us which games they're gonna be bothered to try in therefore the paying punter can make an informed decision about whether to spend their hard end money on a ticket.

I don't think you can lose here, even if we don't turn up at least we'll get to see good football from one side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 At the Etihad no chance. At SJP, if we frustrate them and contain them for the first half () and then release Hatem, why not? Work every time. http://static.bips.channel4.com/bse/200x113/the-simpsons/series-2/episode-14/the-simpsons-s2e14_625x352.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Desperately trying to resist the temptation to buy tickets for this. Probably the only time I'll be in the area this season. I'm not sure it's worth the £70 when I can just stay in the pub and watch it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I expect a much improved perfomance, more motivation from our lads...and to lose by 2 goals. We may even score.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Our recent record against them is fucking appalling, as summed up by NUFC.com: City arrive at SJP bidding for a tenth successive victory against Newcastle in all competitions, while it's fifteen games since United last won one - that a 1-0 home success in the Premier League back in September 2005.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Don't think we'll get pasted as the players will be miraculously far more motivated. 1-2 seems likely. Well have performed well in every big game this season since Cabaye came back in and Remy got fit etc etc. I see no reason for that to change, whether that's enough to get something is another matter entirely of course.

Away Toon Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The mackems beat them at home and are in the semi final of one cup and through to the 4th round in another. I quite envy them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I wouldn't mind being in a semi final but I'd rather not be bottom of the league in January. How anybody can envy that is beyond me. Also being in the 4th round isn't an achievement for most teams. Do you envy Southend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 We've had this discussion before, I'd take winning something with relegation to the fucking Conference. The Premier league is all about the money for us, who gives a monkeys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 We've had this discussion before, I'd take winning something with relegation to the fucking Conference. The Premier league is all about the money for us, who gives a monkeys. Conference might be a bit much but I was thinking about this the other day and broadly I think I agree with you. Teams into the Premier League tend to fall into one of three categories: 1. Trying to win the league. 2. Trying to qualify for Europe and/or better the club year on year. 3. Trying to stay up as an achievement in itself (ie promoted clubs and the real minnows). We're none of them, we're content to merely exist. We're not alone in this, but it brings into question what exactly the point is. Sure, we continue to feast at the top table but to what end? Where's the hope meant to be, the chance of success (in terms of the categories above), the target of glory? This is why the cups absolutely should be a priority; specifically when we're already safe from relegation. Fucking arseholes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The usual 'roll over for the soveriegn state' performance imo..... add to that no Colo or Debuchy, pardew asking is to contain them for an hour .... all makes for the usual defeat from these.

Nobody Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Maybe with Debuchy suspended, that means a not as attacking RB, Pardew might dare play Hatem in his best position? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 60 minutes of containment football, being Hatem on looking to "nick" a goal, go one, two down, blame Hatem for everything bad in the world and bench him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
