Newcastle United v West Ham - Official Matchday/Buildup Thread

****ting yourselves yet?

 

I can't see them going tbh.

Bruce has this pathetic deferential attitude to Man Utd and is far too humble when he plays them.

That shyte about 'I think they owe me a favour for all the injuries I suffered' is sickening.

He should be sending out a fighting message instead of a begging bowl.

In any case Hull deserve to be relegated for this alone ..........

 

Surprisingly calm actually. Or just beyond caring.

 

My line up -

-------------Cisse----------
-----Perez-------Aarons--
-------------Sissoko-------
------Colback--Anita-------
Jonas--Colo-Willo---Janmaat
--------------Krul-----------------

Likely carver line up -

------------Riviere-----------------





-------Perez--Cabella--Sissoko
-------------------------Raylor-----
------Abeid
Jonas--Colo------Williamson---Janmaat

--------------------Krul-------------------

 

Dear God, the hopes of Newcastle pinned on Riviére ...... if Hull go ahead it's a big ask isn't it?

 

If he starts Raylor and Jonas today we will lose, plain and simple.

 

Raylor I could understand, but what's wrong with Jonas? He's was great vs WBA, and can hardly share a lot of the blame.

 

Mate after what the both of them have been through they should barely have made the bench, let alone in the starting line-up. Jonas may make an effort but sadly he isn't good enough especially being played out of position. I worry against pace he will be tore asunder.

Seriously though lads...

 

Reports suggest Cisse still isn't fit enough to start but may be on the bench again.
Carver is more likely to play Colback ahead of Abeid. Think he will play Dummy too.

 

Jesus - Elliot Lee, son of Rob, is on the bench for West Ham today. He was on loan at Luton for the last couple of months. He's not a bad little player. Christ that story would write itself

 

I feel a 're-Lee-gated' headline entry brewing...

Oh my - Man U have NO David De Gea. Victor Valdes starts.

 

Williamson. My word.

 

FFS Riviere ahead of Perez. Carver is a complete joke.

 

Perez dropped? Christ. No Abeid or Aarons on the bench either. Complete joke.

 

Riviere over Perez? Nice one Carver. Still, I guess we don't have much riding on this game. We can afford to continue selecting a completely toothless striker out of the goodness of our hearts.

 

This!
