Newcastle United vs Manchester City - Sun 12th Jan @ 2.05pm (Sky Sports 1)

[triggs]

Some M.City fans think they will play with 2 strikers. Could work in our favour if true.

Don't they always play with two strikers?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

drank too much gin last night and completely hanging out me arse.

 

With any luck I'll have fallen asleep by the time they score their third.

[Guest Haris Vuckic]

we have had a go against all the other top teams we have played this season and have had good results against them on the whole. Wins v Spurs, Man U, Chelsea, a draw v Liverpool, narrowly beaten by Arsenal, stuffed by Everton in the first half but showed a bit of resolve in the 2nd half.

 

Given we drew with City in normal time in the League Cup when we played them at home, I don't know why people are winding themselves up to slaughter the manager before it's even started?

 

 

Because they pick his interviews to pieces to find something that ''offends'' them.

 

Psychotic behavior.

 

Regardless he still said it.

 

He could have said we are going out and giving it a go but instead he chooses to talk down our chances.

 

He is just s*** at mind games

 

I think he could say pretty much anything and people would get their knickers in a twist.

[TRon]

As if people are already prepping their faux rage if we get beat off Man City.

 

I'll be raging if we bend over and accept a good humping and so should everyone else.

 

If we go out and try to best them but lose then fair play but just giving up isn't acceptable .

 

 

 

What do you mean it's not acceptable. What do you propose to do?

 

Try to win? Play with some belief and stop telling people we can't beat a sovereign state ffs.

 

City are far from imperious away from home and they aren't exactly rock solid defensively.

 

We should take the game to them get the crowd behind us and give it a go. Tired of seeing us cower against sides who we deem bigger than us.

 

It worked for Cardiff. A lot better than our meek performance down there.

Aye

 

 

[Jill]

So unenthused about this.

[r0cafella]

So unenthused about this.

 

Pardew does tend to have that effect

What do you mean it's not acceptable. What do you propose to do?

 

[Tiresias]

I'm going to be watching American Hustle during it. We tend to win when I'm not watching, not to get anyones hopes up...

[Dave]

Taylor and Williamson.

[Mick]

Just watching the news and hearing Pardew say " this is a game man city should win" makes me feel sick

Is that the same Pardew who is quoted in the Mirror moaning about people who put us down?

[Tiresias]

THat defense is going to be ripped apart but I can understand the reasons. Not a bad squad tbh, still going ot lose

[BillClinton]

Saylor starts. we're fucked.

[54]

#NUFC subs v @MCFC: Elliot, Haidara, Gosling, Marveaux, Sammy Ameobi, Ben Arfa, Cisse

[Mole_Toonfan]

Taylor with Williamson

[Ketsbaia]

At least there's no Shola. I'd have started Haidara over Taylor, personally.

 

One hour til surrender

[Pilko]

Fuck off Steven Taylor. We're going to lose purely because that absolute cunt is playing.

[Stifler]

No Shola?

[Tiresias]

#NUFC subs v @MCFC: Elliot, Haidara, Gosling, Marveaux, Sammy Ameobi, Ben Arfa, Cisse

 

HE LIVES

[r0cafella]

He's played it safe playing Taylor or he thinks he has.

 

Would rather have seen Haidara at left back personally with Mapou playing centre half with Williamson

[aussiemag]

Marveaux is alive?!

[Dave]

Gosling on the bench.

[Ritchie]

MARVEAUX HAS MADE THE BENCH!
