Palace - Newcastle

Yes. The pies are here, attack.

 

Any news on Wilson?

 

He's regretting not going to villa

 

Aren't we all.

 

Available to play according to Steve Bruce when he was speaking to Radio Newcastle.
Going for 2-0 Palace, only because Hodgson knows what he's doing and Bruce doesn't...

 

He’s still running.

 

If Wilson, Schar and Almiron start we have a chance.

 

I agree Mick...in an ideal world. Sadly though, Almiron and Schar now have a deep hatred for all things Bruce and his Cabbageball tactics.
This is just my interpretation on things you understand...

 

Reckon we will this one as I won't be watching.

Its a 3am in the morning start here - if I can't get back to sleep after the call to pray from the mosque wakes me up at 4am I might start to watch the second half.

Hopefully it will be like last weeks game and I will be back to sleep within a few minutes.

 

Getting his excuses in early. That’s early even for bruce.

Apparently it’s Hayden with 2 others self isolating!

 

No

 

Hayden almiron schar

He's probs just making it up.

 

0-0

 

I can see this being a 3-1 win but only if Bruce has to self isolate and can't make the game.

 

well last week I said we had the C Team of Referee and officials taking in our game
this week we must have the D Team

Ref Graham Scott -
7 games in total this season - 3 in P L and 3 in Championship - skirts between leagues and not a regular PL ref

4th Official Michael Salisbury (who ?)
8 games this season - 3 in Championship and the others between League 1 and League 2
spent most of last season doing league 1 and 2

Var Jarred Gillett (who ?)
10 games this season - All in the Championship except our EFL Cup game against Blackburn

In the same amount of games last season (10)
we had 3 of the most experienced refs cover our games in 6 of those games
Martin Atkinson x 2
Mike Dean x 2
Andre Marriner x 2

This season
Peter Banks x 2 (but only reffing 3 premier games in total this season)
Stuart Atwell x 2 (but only reffing 5 premier games in total this season)
Craig Pawson x 2 (but only reffing 6 premier games in total this season)

All I'm saying is that there doesn't seem to be a mix of the more experienced officials
I can only presume to suit the Cartel 6

 

I suspect Almiron and Schar just don’t want to play for him and this they are self isolating.

The wheels are falling off now. Lose tonight and he’s got a ready made excuse.

 

Wow that’s interesting isn’t it. I think there’s an element of they want the better referees for the top games. Interestingly I also think they want the more stronger minded controversial ones for them aswell. Entertainment not just from the players but the referees aswell.

Remember it’s a Friday aswell.

 

Bruce's lost the dressing room.... He's messed around too much and he's jus boring... I'd imagine training is dull... You know some people are just boring you know the type..

 

Lose tonight and the pressure will start to crank up mate. The tabloids are starting to turn on him quoting stats and he’s saying the stats are skewed.

He couldn’t motivate a porn star at an orgy.
