Ikon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 No new signings and a loss on saturday, would there be riots or would people give Pardew a wave? Horses had better wear helmets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 We will win. Everything that could have went wrong in the lead up to the derby has so therefore we will win and it will be sweet. Footballs weird man. This. Or possibly some Mackem will break Ben Arfa in the first 10 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Also think we are due a massive slice of good luck and they are due a massive slice of bad luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sickening amount of gloating and smugness from the Mackem presenter and gabiadini on total sport. Ive only just discovered tonight they have saved themselves from relegation.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Annoying when people say shit like that. No matter what happens beforehand, no matter who you're against, there's always a chance of a win. That's the whole reason we're all still watching this shit even with Mr Fatcunt trying to ruin it at every corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So which out of form striker would you start with on Saturday? Shola who hasn't scored in the Premiership for over a year. Cisse who scored in the FA Cup against Cardiff and a penalty against Stoke in the Premiership (that's if he recovers from his reported back injury). De Jong who has played something like 72 minutes of competitive football this season. I'd probably start Cisse if he's fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 De Jong for me. We know the other 2 will be shite, he might not be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Adam Armstrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 De Jong. Throw him right in. He clearly has something to prove so let him have a pop. Pardew seems to think he's high on confidence so why would you bench him? Sure he'll get tired, but that's what substitutions are for. I'll take an obligatory Shola sub at 65 mins, as anything is better than him starting, but he will anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 De Jong mightn't be match fit, doesn't know the PL and mightn't be that good. But if it's him or Shola, I'd pick De Jong every single time. At least he can move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 De Jong mightn't be match fit, doesn't know the PL and mightn't be that good. But if it's him or Shola, I'd pick De Jong every single time. At least he can move. Absolutely. I've seen nothing of De Jong but I've seen far, far too much of Shola. Give him his debut and play him 'til he's knackered.

pedro111 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd play Cisse every single day of the year over Shola. Sick to death of Shola. If he wasn't a Geordie he'd have gone 11 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If De Jong started the crowd would get a lift from a new player and they'd also give him the extra support new players tend to get on their début. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 wait a cotton pickin second Tiote is going to be our captain. For the derby? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Tiote knows what's up. As good a choice as anyone. In fact being captain almost makes him play with more responsibility. Hope I haven't jinxed it now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Tiote seems to be less of a liability when he has the captains armband imo, seems more disciplined with the extra responsibility. alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 4-2-3-1 for me Krul Debuchy MYM Willo Santon Anita Tiote Sissoko Ben Arfa Gouffran Cisse Give Cisse the support he needs. If he can't be arsed this match then his time here is over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Agree, If Cisse is fit I would start him. No matter what has gone on before, it's a fresh start and we need him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
