Overseas Radio: Live commentary on TalkSport

 

I think we'll lose this game, I think Mankini will pick Tevez/Aguero which he never does lately despite the stats suggesting they are the most fruitful partnership. I think Tevez will rip Mike a new one and Aguero's pace will be like kryptonite to Colo.

3-1 to us then..............

 

Heavy defeat ...... Next

 

I'm going for a 2-0 win

keeping a clean sheet and Mike Williamson scoring from a set piece

 

I think we might take an early lead and start well, then City will come back and nick it.

Toon 1-2 City.

Ba x 1
Toure x 1
Dzeko x 1

 

2-1 to us. HBA and Santon.

 

Don't hold much hope for this one, if any at all. 4-0 to City (Aguero, Tevez, Nasri and Balotelli.)

 

Seriously, this could be a cricket score! 7-0 to City.

 

Old fashioned football supporters paranoia at work I think
Majority of city supporters wouldn't be dissapointed with a draw and are fearful of being 9 points behind the rags by the weeks end
We certainly haven't played anything like last years visit to st James' and at times it's unfathomable how we are so close to the top
Kompany at the back will be a big miss as its likely that kolo toure will be his replacement as Nastasic and Lescott are very left footed so its unlikely they will be paired
Heart says we'll sneak a win
Head says ill take a draw please

 

I at your pessimism. If you do not pump at least 4 past us, you will not be winning the league. Currently we are there for the taking (but for the odd moment of real brilliance) and I shall probably lump £100 on you to beat us. It will be like printing money!

 

Too many years of watching the likes of Jamie Pollock imitate a footballer in a city shirt have taken their toll.Couldnt ever stomach watching them sober throughout the 90s
11am Breakfast in Witherspoons by Newcastle station is the aim
Is that walkable to the ground?

 

Yeah, 10 minute walk max

 

I think we will put out a performance for this game, I really think we'll give it a good go but unfortunately we just don't have the quality to beat a team like City at the moment.

Think Pardew will try to play a direct game for this one and the ball will end up coming back towards us the whole game, we will defend well for a long period then City will carve us open.

More than likely a 2-3 nil loss with Tevez running the show.

 

Honestly, apart from possibly QPR I really don't expect a single point from now until after the Everton game.

I see us scoring at least once in this game, and being in it until 70-80 minutes but City's class will prevail. We'll put everything into the game and may even lose 1-2 to injuries which will set us up nicely for the following game against QPR where they will have a good game and begin a little run by beating us.

Still think we will go on a run during/ after the window but I've all but written off the next 4 games sadly.

 

I'm not even interested anymore, won't be watching. I'll be out Saturday afternoon.

 

Says it all about you really.

 

Truly fairweather, don't worry the rest of us are made of sterner stuff

 

I can't see anything but a blue win.

 

An early warning mate... there will be only a slim chance of getting breakfast as the place will be heaving around that time. You may want to grab a greggs on the way up...

 

it's your choice fella but I'll watch the lads come rain or shine. It's like a drug for me. No matter how crap we get I'll still be there.
