Is this game certain to go ahead with the storm and heavy rain they are going to have today?

Take your wellies

Yes with gusts of approx. 37 mph ;-) fingers crossed!View attachment 94437

Fortunately St James Park isn't open at the corners like Stoke used to be.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Might be a tough game with that side. What do you think, @malg? 1-1 and pens maybe?

Based on that we have

Ortega
Lewis, Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake,
KovaCic Phillips Grealish
Bobb Julian Gomez

I’d rip your left nut off for pens right now

I was thinking the same.

I said earlier in this post that even if Pep played his best 11 at Newcastle away on a Wednesday night we could still lose and even pick up a couple of injuries, Right Now, Pep and City do not need the League Cup because of the Fifa club trophy and we have a small squad to boot,

Just play the youth if we have to, the fans will understand the bigger picture, it will be better watching some young players busting their guts and running around all game than the first-team players walking and just going through the motions hope the 90 minutes can not come quick enough

That team should still give the absentees a game

Ederson;
Walker, Stones, Dias, Bernardo;
De Bruyne, Rodri, Nunes;
Doku, Haaland , Foden:​

[If I die in the Kippax St]

Has anyone got any recommendations on where to park for the Newcastle away game?

Parking near the ground is pretty non existent and you would be grid locked for over an hour getting out. I would park haymarket multi storey or grey st multi storey both around 10 min walk. Pubs a plenty near both car parks. Haymarket I would recommend the Hotspur and grey st the Crown Posada

First visit to St James' any pre match pub recommendations?

Versus

Ortega

KovaCic Phillips Grealish
Bobb Julian Gomez

But to be fair they only have 7 players
