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

Yes, the Liverpool fans will be wearing big red curly wigs.

 

Like this?

 

Liverpool will hump us. I say we don't turn up and accept the 3-0 default Fifa defeat!

 

Never say die!

 

I thought you'd prefer the humping JPF?

 

If we win both I'm going to put my clothes back on. I've had no clothes to wear for over a year now as I only possessed 12 shirts and kept on putting them on a 3-1 win for the lads then when they ran out I started putting my trousers, boxers, socks, shoes etc on the same bet. I then realised the rather attractive ginger bookie was accepting my clothing bets to smarten ACS up after he kept on sending her begging letters to make him feel like a man, unfortunately she misunderstood what he meant.


When my £10 double on us to beat the Mackems and Liverpool 3-1 I'll treat myself to a new wardrobe, It'll take something that size to put all my winnings in.

 

Jim, you need to apply maths when gambling. 3 - 1 = 2. What you're betting on is Toon to win by TWO CLEAR GOALS. The Pardew Tactical Playbook clearly states that we must not, under any circumstances, press for a two goal cushion when one goal is sufficient. The fact that one goal mor frequently than not ISN'T sufficient is yet to make it to The Orange Tree, Totteridge. Or NUFC HQ, whatever you want to call it.

 

Won't be much left of it after you've cleared your tab.

 

Will be an interesting game. I don't fancy our chances in a 3-5-2 formation, not playing against Remy and Ben Arfa who are both fast, the only saving grace in that regard is the return of either Johnson or Cissikho in defence. Without going too cliché, the midfield battle will be key. The best way to stop Sturridge and Suarez is to cut of their supply, and to be frank Lucas and Gerrard isn't the most mobile of midfield partnerships, though Henderson's energy does make up for it in a way. Also, we've very easily exposed, so with a decent passer like Cabaye in your side I fully expect you to get plenty of space and get your danger men running towards our back 3.

If we can get an early goal I fancy our chances, if you go in to the break at 0-0 or in the lead, judging by our second half displays this season you should go on to be favourites.

 

Well that's a bit cheery news.

 

As you can see, I reek of confidence!

.. I thought the same thing when we last met though

 

Hope that isn't an omen.

 

You are mad as *****ose sir. The odds are firmly stacked in favour of you giving us a bad beating. You are doing nothing to fit in with the stereotypical view of Liverpool supporters either. That said I hope its as difficult as you seem to expect. We find that by thinking the worst of this spineless bunch of ****tards, that anything positive is a massive bonus, and if the expected happens we are almost accepting. Everyone just blames Pardew anyway, its just easier.

 

Who will we blame if Pardew gets the bullet before the game?

 

JK of course. There is always someone to blame. As long as the precious players don't get any grief. They have a hard life you know.

 

Yes, very hard to get by on the pittance they get paid.

 

I hear fat mikes place has some canny gear

 

I cannot see beyond a heavy defeat here. AP needs to ensure he sets the team up right. We should pack out the midfield and play Remy on his own.

 

how is Henderson doing now?
have to be honest and say I always thought he was dog **** and that you paid about 10x too much for him from SAFC.

 

Hendo has been a revelation for us the last 18 months or so and is very underrated (which is saying something considering he's English). He's one of them players that every good team needs, he'll never be world class but he'll always be an important cog in our team, he's our forest gump

£16m at the time was not worth it of course, but you won't find many LFC fans regretting the deal that's for sure. Still has a bit to go but the lads still young and he's improving game by game, just needs to add more goals to the team.
