Saturday 17th November

KO 3pm @ SJP​

Squad
Apart from the long term absentees we see Colo sit out another of his banned games. Good news however sees the return of Tiote to give us that vital bite in midfield.

Betting
Toon to win- 4/5
Swansea win- 10/3
Draw- 12/5
Toon win 3-1- 12/1
Over 4.5 goals - 4/1
HT Swansea to be winning 1-0... fulltime 2-0 - 45/1
Draw- 11/1

ACS's View (I'm going to try a different tactic here)
I think we will get beat quite comfortably, Tiote will get sent off and still we won't switch from a 4-4-2 formation.
Hurrah to a 3pm Saturday kick off also!!

 

You're right that is a rubbish formation leaves us a bit short in midfield

 

Saturday 3pm nothing better.

 

Let's just hope that the football's better than it was yesterday.

 

Except a win, maybe?

 

Playing safe going for a 1-1 draw.

 

Swansea are doing quite well, just a point behind us. If they win they could go level with Arsenal whereas, if we win we could go level with Spurs, depending on how both of those teams do themselves of course.

A long way to go yet and it's all still to play for.

 

We will rarely touch the ball, hoof it up the pitch when we do get it. We will have **** set piece after **** set piece.

0 - 2 defeat.

 

A win and some rep

 

Whether you like it or not I'm going to enlighten you on my thought about this game!!!!! Swansea are playing very good football and we are playing ****e so I'm honestly going for either a swansea win or a draw. Ask the nuetral and many will tell you the same.

Before any of you poisenous bottom grapes starts getting all upset and angry at this for some reason bizarre and negative comment, please try and see I'm only saying things like I'm seeing every single game this season.

Being positive wont make a jot of difference.


I'm not into all this hippy ****

 

trouble is you see your whole life in this same negative way
I invite you to sit next to me for the next game

 

You're a braver man than me Gunga Din.

Oops, I mean HDQ.

 

not really AB
first sign of negativity and it will be.....











.....SLEEP......

 

Can't beat it.

 

I can't believe you boys are being so negative! You are at home and should fancy your chances.

We will need to be at our best to get a point - I would bite your hand off for it now

 

I always fancy our chances. Wouldn't really be much point in going if you expected to get beat every week.

 

I'm actually very positive and the reason why is because you can only improve if the negatives are not ignored.

Are you asking me for a fight?

I am thinking no

 

1) that's the negativity you see in everyone
I often take people to the match when people are down on their luck
I don't drink so I can't offer you a pint but I do go to the match so I can offer you a seat

2) why ask then

 

We havent played at well all season so that's why we are being negative, but hoping things will improve

 

I can see us grabbing all 3 points with Tiote back but we need to drop Cisse and play Ben Arfa just behind Ba as shown below.

Krul
Simpson Willo Saylor Santon
Cabaye Tiote
Obertan Ben Arfa Ferguson
Ba

I know you see the wingers but they could play a bit narrower and try and support Ben Arfa if Pardew wants to give Benny the ball and let him do it on his own. Plus the service of Cabaye just behind him compliments our No. 10 quite well.
