Newcastle (H) - Sun 8th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Gray]

Which players are definitely out today, I presume Stones and Walker, but anybody else?

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

I have the same feeling I had before the Palace Homs game.

 

[Blue Smarties]

There's absolutely no way he wants to lose. Firstly because, you can say what you like about him, he is a competitor through and through. Secondly because to beat his old club will prove a point to them. Villa will be up for it, too. I still think they'll lose, though.

Yeah, this is the thing. You watch his interviews and he's a winner. He wins and it's a marker down. Like you say though, I think they'll lose, but not because they've been sent out to do so - simply because Liverpool are better.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Not sure if you watched his press conference, that’s a man who is driven and passionate.

Yes listened..and perfect response your right. Perspective..especially as a player he has got to a euro cup final and played in the winning team. We cant forget that ...he knows what it takes and the margins ...great press conferenc pep..cheers mate big shout for tge lads today

Plus with Klipperty’s contract extension Slippy G ain’t getting that job anytime soon, unless, please God, the Dippers fail miserably on the back off Asthma drugs being banned.

I use a free app called Live Player that has every match you want to watch from the top World/European leagues

I don't like how some fans are thinking we are going to win by 3 or 4 goals and assuming this is a forgone conclusion. Newcastle are bang in form with 5 wins out of the last 6 and that was a narrow defeat to the dippers. They have had a full week's rest and have nothing to lose today, Eddie Howe has them playing some good football and they have the tools needed to cause us a lot of problems.

A number of our players look to be understandably very tired at the moment and carrying knocks.

I would like to see us come out and be at their throats from the first minute but I just can't see it.

I'd take a scrappy 1:0 win now.

 

[Franny 1234]

Will we be flashing wallets and fake notes at them today. I still laugh at the Hull away game 1000's of them with wallets out and counting notes LOL.
KEEP THE FAITH
We're going to smash these today.

It's not a foregone conclusion that we win today or any of the others. But we need to have goal difference in mind now as it could come down to it if we do slip up somewhere.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Any sort of win. Come on blues. Got the Leicester / vinny goal vibes

Any chance you could share details?

 

[bluetonium]

Wallet. Check.
Phone. Check
Dodgy Derby Day like stomach symptoms... against bloody Newcastle? Check.

Big day, lots of questions will be answered. The first of which is IPA or lager, the second would be is it appropriate for a fully grown man to have spare gruds in his pocket for an afternoon of beer and footy.

Just go into the App store and search for Live Player

Is it true that 22 of their 35 man squad have athsma, ffs that's some going if they claim that! Why didn't it set the alarm bells ringing with the drugs testers

 

[havefaith]

Fingers crossed (and everythingelse possible) after Wednesday i think last nights result will be like a shot of adrenaline for the boys (similar to that scene in pulp fiction) and drive the team foward. I expect fast start and 2 or 3 goals early.

The dippers won’t perform so highly next season because they have too many players who’ve been sucking hard on the blue inhalers and dosing high on caffeine this season and they’ll need to reduce for next season or they’ll end up killing someone.

 

[red 2 hats]

Heading off in 10 minutes, train to town, plenty of liquid in and around the northern quarter.
Feeling nervous ( I always do) let's get at the geordie hipocrites from the first minute, get it put to bed by half time, then I can relax, add a few more goals in the second half to boost the goal difference and bobs your uncle.
Cmon City let's be loud and proud and bring the points home.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

The murderers drawing has made me more nervous about today. Weird I know. Tense as fuck.

Same here, I'm bricking it now
