I can't think like this. I saw us scrape a 2-1 against Cardiff. We're everyone's cup final. Rafa doesn't play what we think is our most attacking side, with attacking full backs and two strikers. My prediction is a one or two goal win.
As much as I'd love to blame Blackburn for that too, that was our own stupid fault, well the fault of The Fat Controller (The Fat Controller before the current one that is). Blackburn had realised he was a hopeless walking disaster and were about to give him the boot...lol and behold some lobotomised fat twat comes along and actually PAYS them for him to leave!!! Nice work Shepherd, sack a massively popular manager with no Plan B in place, then find out that no other manager wants to work with you and end up with the worst of the worst. Looking at their recent form, league position is somewhat deceptive, very poor September and August, but decent since then, picking up some wins and draw and only losing by the odd goal.
Colback and Hanley out of this one...http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport...fender-to-injury-ahead-of-blackburn-1-8259306 Hanley would probably have been on the bench at best but was pretty certain the ginger ninja was starting alongside Shelvey tomorrow. Who to replace him? Surley has to be Hayden? Could go with Diame and Ayo in the AM position but think that leaves us a bit light out of possesion?
Colback missing this one ain't a disaster, Hayden's been very good when he's played and should be getting more time than he is anyway. Hanley is a lumbering ox who never plays, so this is hardly a disaster.
Don't worry. Once he's finished the prediction league updates, Nev is going to do a complete refurb of St James' Park. He promised.
since firstrowsports have been killed off I've found this not sure if this will work later on but it has Newcastle listed at 16:00 hrs http://streamshunter.tv/soccer failing that there are other games on that might work a few pop ups at the begining but once you get of rid of them it's a good stream no lagging I'm watching Burnley v Citeh
