West Ham United v Newcastle United - Official Build Up / Matchday Thread

I think Willo will be given the task of marking AC as he's better in the air than Saylor.

 

They might even double up on him, take him out of the game. Hard to see where there goals would come from then.

 

Ravel Morrison, Carlton Cole or Mark Noble.

 

Not a chance.

 

Naaaw you've uunly gaawn and blaady dun it! (in his best Michael Cain stlye East End accent)

From NUFC.com

A second red card in just four games for Kevin Nolan on New Years Day resulted in a four game suspension that means he'll miss this visit of former side Newcastle.

Our old boy does have a little bit of form in this area, having inexplicably managed to get himself banned towards the turn of the year previously as follows......

29th Dec 2012 5th yellow, missed game on 1st Jan
26th Dec 2011 5th yellow, missed game on 31st Dec
26th Dec 2010 5th yellow, missed game on 28th Dec
28th Dec 2009 5th yellow, missed game on 2nd Jan

I don't think Kev wants to play against us. He's got a pretty good way of missing out on our games.

 

Looks like he just sets up a new year break so he can rest after over indulging each year.

 

I honestly think that he just wouldn't want to put a good shift in against us.

He still feels part of us.

He invented the Chicken Dance up here.

 

Lawro's prediction = West Ham 2:1 Toon (so we might have a chance)

Vic Reeves' prediction = West Ham 0:10 Toon quality!

 

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's match dayyyyyyyy!


HOWAY THE LADS!

 

Hull City fan in peace..
here's a link for you geordies: http://www.atdhe.cc/soccer/stream-29479a-west-ham-united-newcastle-united

 

cheers Patty.
More rep to follow.

 

I'm bricking it cos i think carroll's gunna run us ragged. The times he's played us he's ended up getting ridiculously close to scoring- header against crossbar, silly dive against Krul. He can't have many more excuses not to put it in the net.
What's worse is my housemate is a Hammers fan who's had little to shout about this season so it's just sod's law isn't it

 

This really is a good chance for us to get a good result today and expectations will be high. Which, when applying NUFC logic, spells disaster. So like you, I'm bricking it. Fingers crossed Big Andy gets injured in the warm-up.

 

You've epitomised the attitude of a newcastle fan there!
Tactical warm-up injury for Andy? You know he wants too!

 

All is quiet on news years day....

 

bollocks.. I'm off the fence...

we're gonna win 3-1.. come on the Tooooooooon!!!!!!

 

Was that score a tip from Baldyheed by any chance?
