He was a good guy. Took the shit really well and in good humour. Where is he now, thought he might be back on this week. That was the game when it was announced that we'd ran out of chips, he said he ate them all!Blue Smarties said:I prefer the moonhead Geordie.
Chappaz said:Wolfy said:Chappaz said:We've only lost twice at home all season, and only conceded 5 goals more than you guys have at the Etihad (for those saying our defence 'isn't all that').
No disrespect but who are these people? You're not the first newcastle fan to come on here and say City fans are saying we'll breeze through the game. 99.9% of the City fans on here are bricking it, the remaining 0.01% is quietly optimistic.
I really do think the the geordies are making stuff up now. Pre-empting it to the point where they're picking fights with imaginary people!
They are a good team with a porous defence
1. Our defence is stronger than theirs.
(You've conceded 17 on the road, we've conceded 15 at home)
Plus quite a few more on this thread but I only bothered to check 5 pages back.
I'm not referring to the concept of you guys thrashing us, as I haven't seen that from any Man City fans personally. I'm just referring to the number of comments I've seen about you guys exploiting our weakness of defence, even though our home goals conceded record is almost as good as yours.
Not sure where the idea comes from that we have a porous defence. It's probably due to the fact that we have no big-name star defenders, even though Coloccini was named in the team of the year alongside your own Kompany.

Now to plan B cisse and B are the 2 greatest strikers ever to grace the premier league, newcastle dont lose many games at home ( this is true they dont lot of draws though ), newcastle will be bang up for this as they are still going for fourth ( true but we are going for the title ) its funny if we do come through this next week it will be QPR still have a chance to stay up, citys ex players and manager all have a point to prove, city have to lose at home some time and maybe the pressure will get to em.
The efforts by the press to raise the stakes and pump up the pressure are so see through its embarassing the obligatory interview by fergie saying maybe newcastle can do us a favour and cisse is amazing has just been given.
Now I know every fan me included is bricking it, checking out newcastle stats, and getting spooked by the press but this is the fans not the players, we have players who have played in big games including an FA cup final last year, champions league finals, world cup finals etc etc they wont be spooked by the press.
If there was one team Newcastle wouldn't want to be playing on Saturday it is us.!
4/4 wins
13 Goals for 1 conceeded.
No injuries
Tevez and Aguero as on fire as Cisse and Ba.
Lescott and Kompany the best centerbacks in the league.
Yaya Toure.....Enough said
A Bench with Richards, Dzeko, Balotelli, De Jong, Kolorov and Milner on it.
A cup final for all intense and purposes and Mancini is bloody good at these!!
If you wanna be the best and you wanna beat the best.....Dedication's what you need!
And this.Blue Hefner said:I think a lot of people are talking N'castle up a little bit too much. We've won at Porto, Old Trafford and White Hart Lane. If we play to out potential the we will win.........fingers crossed
Well, they will have to come at us anyway.SWPISHOME said:First goal is crucial, If we get the first goal they will have to open up and come at us (Which will suit us down to the ground). Newcastle have 15 clean sheets this season which is very good, But am confident we'll beat them.Jumanji said:It's not that I'm worried about Newcastle. I'm not.
The only thing that worries me is that they score first. Especially if they score first in the second half.
They scored 1 at our place, and really could have had another.
omcfc said:You have to remember Chappaz that the media would love nothing more than to build City up before a fall. They are trying to paint a picture in which all City fans are being derisive about Newcastle and think the game will be easy, which simply isn't the case. Almost every City fan will tell you that they are very aware of how good Newcastle can be at home, and are expecting a difficult encounter. Sadly this doesn't fit with the image that the media, and United fans would like to portray.
Blue Hefner said:4-0 at Wigan, 5-0 at Spurs and Fulham hammered N'castle if I remember right. Now I know these are probably isolated games over a season but surely even the most blinkered N'castle fan must see that if City get at N'castle then the defence could buckle like in those games I've mentioned
N'castle are a good team and this is a very difficult fixture but no matter who we were playing at this stage in these circumstances it would be a difficult fixture.
I think a lot of people are talking N'castle up a little bit too much. We've won at Porto, Old Trafford and White Hart Lane. If we play to out potential the we will win.........fingers crossed
That's exactly how it will be, a very tight tense result. Nobody thinks you will roll over, or crumble, most of us think you have the potential to hurt our push for this title, anyone who doesn't is probably under the age of 15, and not able to spot the reality of the situation.Chappaz said:If we fail to turn up against you guys, it could quite easily be another 5-0, no doubt about it. However, if we turn up and give 100% of our ability, and get the crowd behind us, we shouldn't just crumble like that. With both teams at maximum potential, and us with the home advantage, I can invisage it being a very narrow result, whether it's win, lose or draw.
