Newcastle United v Chelsea - Official Build Up / Match Day Thread

Saw that, good news, Hazard will be banned as well.

 

So we'll just have to stop Oscar, Lampard, Ramires, Ba etc...

 

I'll take anything out of this as they are just awash with fantastic talent. Hopefully Rafa will find some way to screw it up. We are at home though and our fans often get pretty hyped up for the big ones and energize the team (like Citeh this season). Get an early goal and who knows. I think we'll do well to get a point though.

 

I won't betoo disappointed if we just make them work hard to take all 3 points.

 

Better than stopping hazard and mata as well. Also luiz Moses and mikes missing. Regardless who they have missing we will have to deal with somebody good.

As long as we play well, I won't be overly disappointed with the result.

 

As long as the guys just do their best I'll be happy enough.

They'll have to put a very good shift in to get anything though.

 

Interesting sub-plot nobodies mentioned will be the crowd's reaction to Pardew... We were turning on him last time... So have we forgotten all this because he's won precisely one game (just... against possibly the worst team in the division)?

I think we start losing at any point tomorrow and he'll have a very limited window to turn it around.

 

3-0 Chelsea

Terry hat-trick

 

No he won't score that many own goals. Likely to be hauled off after the first two.

 

Azpil - Terry - Cahill - Cole
Lampard - Ramy
Marin - Oscar - Bertrand
Ba

This could be our lineup tomorrow if rumours that Mata is injured are true.

 

Very kind of you to play with just 10 men but even if you do play with no keeper we'll struggle.

"Squad: The foot problem that saw Sylvain Marveaux miss the visit to Villa had initially been predicted to rule him for between two and three weeks, but he was spotted in training on Thursday.

Hatem Ben Arfa, Haris Vuckic, Ryan Taylor and Dan Gosling remain out, but the latter two are now back in training. Cheick Tiote is on international duty with Ivory Coast while the fitness/status of Danny Simpson is tbc."



Good to see Raylor is back in training!

Hopefully Marv will be back soon too. Once Tiote returns from ACON and Benni is back, we'll have real competition for places.

 

And be a lot harder to beat.

 

Oh let's hope so.

 

Lamps isn't playing tomorrow, seems he can't get through the door of the team coach.

 

Woohoo, our problems are solved now Gosling is back

 

. Who the hell is Gosling?

 

Some relation of Goosey?

 

The french lads = 3 points believe team

 

Got us down for a draw with WH, Cisse or Cabaye to score first 2-2 final score. Here's to hoping that come 5 o'clock that I'm one of £3/800 up... also have Ba to score first same score for a meager 300 also so I'm hoping Cabaye gets one in first!
