The Blue Prophet Prediction League - Newcastle United (A) - 19th January @ 3:00pm After last weekends wasted effort against bottom club Huddersfield, further importance fall on our trip to St James Park as 17th & 18th meet, in what could have a massive say on the final placings. Despite an abject record up on the Toon (as far as I can make out, City have only managed 1 win in the League @ St James Park ), the Magpies have been far from great this season and struggled their way to extra time against Blackburn last night. Reason for optimism? A cunning CS for @william5551 last weekend means that he returns to the top with a 4 point margin. Does @Barry Tiger have a response to prevent William from claiming back to back league titles. In the 2nd tier, another CR sees @Masky increase his lead at the top to 6 and over 3rd place to 10. Surely even the Masked Man doesn't have such a collapse in him?
2.1 to the Geordies. Arter to score. No Arter as a starter. Injured I assume. Gunnar on bench as well. With Niasse starting I assume Pato will drop into midfield. Change my scorer to NML please Sheepy.
Sheepy I have just seen the team. Can i change my prediction to Newcastle 1 City 1. Scorer Niase on his debut.
Haven't won up there, in the league, since 1963! Screw history, 0-2 Bluebirds win. Camarasa to bag one.
