Newcastle United (H) - Sat 16th March, 17:30 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[Haaland94]

Of course he will. He'll go about as strong as vs Luton.

Ortega
Akanji
Dias
Stones
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Bernardo/Nunes
Foden
Haaland
Doku/Bobb

That's a fantastic team. I would be confident with that 11.

 

[big gaz]

Hopefully it's a nice warm early evening and no need for the big coat and fishermans friends.

Will leave the dodgy joke regarding Fishermans friends well alone :-)

It certainly is in Lanzarote…

Lucky bugger :-)

Think they are on tour, not sure they’ll make it.

Fucking sick of the place! Used to be decades between visits. Who’d have thought?

Fucking sick of the place! Used to be decades between visits. Who’d have thought?

There'll be one in the north soon…

 

[dawlishdave]

Who's the next keeper after Carson?
Just in case we have a crisis

John Burridge

 

[Gray]

There'll be one in the north soon…

Behave.

 

[eversince 76]

Strong(est) line-up possible.
Home advantage despite a few more Georgies than normal.
Let’s have another trip to our hometurf in London.

 

[Ric]

Looking forward to this. 5.30 ko and a big away following should make for a decent atmosphere, especially with a semi-final place up for grabs.

Akanji
Dias
Stones
Ake

[MadchesterCity]

[MadchesterCity]

It cost me £326.40 today it had better be well set up!! :-)
But thank you for the reminder. :-)

Have you checked your skooshers

 

[MadchesterCity]

Can't see Doku starting another game this season.

Nonsense, he still has a huge game in him, a title or trophy defining match

 

[SamTheGuru]

I normally try to keep myself reserved from over excitement, However, I see nothing less that Newcastle being destroyed today. It it is the business end of the season. Goodbye Newcastle.

My car is a VERY sore subject today! I am at present awaiting the AA as the battery appears to be flat. It was waiting a long time for the garage to repair it so it might have been that but as we 'speak' I am (whilst waiting) searching for a 'new' car!!
Enough is enough. :-)
