Match Day Thread The Official Match Day Thread - Man City v Newcastle

I'm buzzing this morning! I think a shock could be on the cards, I had a dream we grabbed a last minuite equaliser. The last time I dreamed of NUFC was before the derby this season.

 

If you'd stayed asleep a little bit longer you'd have seen us get a winner in added on time.

 

I'm coming round to the idea of Santon RW but I think Sammy will play there with Ben Arfa off the striker.

 

There's been a lot of premonitions for this game...Probably due to the international break. But I had a dream a week or so ago, acting all smug in front of my Manure supporting mates 'cause we'd managed a draw.

 

There is no way Sammy should be starting yet. Good late impact player at the moment, but no more.

 

got a feeling guthrie will have a big game for the simple fact tiote is near to coming back could be our key player today

 

Just been reading an article by Scott Wilson and he points out that Citeh have so far scored at least 2 goals in EVERY single league game this season...This suggests to me that:
1) if we are to get anything from this game, we'll need to score
and
2) if we can manage to limit them to a single goal, even if its a 1:0 loss, we'll have done an incredible job!

 

..urrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's ......timeeeeeeeeeee

 

getting a bit nervous now just hope we don't get our arses served to us on a plate which could happen they did it to manure and the spuds both very good teams ......arrghhh negative thoughts....go away

 

i dnt know how many citeh will play in midfield so i thought of 2 formations

krul


simo- saylor- colo- raylor

sammi- cabaye- guthrie- jonas

ben arfa (best if fit)

ba

simo- saylor- collo- raylor

cabaye- guthrie- jonas

ben arfa- ba- best (sammi if best not fit)

 

Obviously predicting a loss, but I hope we at least give them a good go of it. Don't wanna be steamrolled, hoping we fall to a respectable 2-1. We deserved a point last year though at their place (We had a penalty shout, theirs was a bit iffy, if I remember correctly?) so who knows.

 

Woke up not long ago after dreaming about this match. The game kicked off, Ben Arfa and Ba were giving the Man City defence a torrid time, Ben Arfa broke through and the commentator said "Could there be an upset here today?" and then I woke up.

 

Willo made a cracking tackle on Tevez that was outside of the box but it was deemed a penalty, the replays made me livid.

 

We had a definite pen turned down and theirs very definitely wasn't a pen.

 

Yup, hate those kind of games. Robbed out of a result and obviously the situation with Ben Arfa. Not a good day, at all.

I then went and watched the Chelsea Arsenal match in the pub and got pissed though, if I remember. So that wasn't too bad.

 

No faith in any of you.

were going to win 2-1 simple as that......

 

My big fear is that the 2 best teams they have played (Spurs and Man U) have been smashed off the park. I think they raise their game for these bigger teams. I hope they do not see us as on of those bigger teams otherwise it could be a demolition. Either way, I do not expect much today. Has Mr Tiote given us his usual bravado prediction yet?

 

Just because you guessed a win against Stoke, doesn't mean we'll beat City

 

Best time to play them, they've had their entire squad on international duty and will have one eye on Napoli midweek. Any result would be incredible.

 

and Everton and basically every result this season
