ACS's Prediction
I think Brighton will be pumped up for this one and as such, with the pressure firmly on us I expect a nervy draw... possibly 2-2.
I then expect us to hammer them back at SJP.

 

Who's fit ?

Who will Pards risk ?

If we field the same team as against Everton, perhaps with Debuchy, I would expect a nervy win. I think Pards may rest some players, though. We won't win with a weakened team.

 

Its on the telly, I'll be watching you lot.

Sad thought, Brighton knocked us both out of cup competitions last season, if I'm correct.

 

Apparently Debuchy will not play according to Pards on the official site.

 

I now find myself looking to see who the ref is these days
from this I can sort of determine what the game will be like and how it will be refereed from the officials view

Lee Probert's the ref,
tha same ref that reffereed this game last year,
and with that in mind I think we'll get nowt, no 50-50 or 60-40 decisions
Brighton will kick lumps and get away with it, and all we have to do is sneeze to give away a freekick

 

Like most other games so far this season, then?

 

Anyone going down?

 

Moi!

 

What time is the coach picking up? Must be before dawn?

 

1:00 am outside SJP.

 

blimey. I guess you won't be kipping?

 

Hoping to catch some on the way down. Should be ok with the regular travellers, they're a pretty decent bunch and they'll probably want a bit of kip themselves, so it should be fairly quiet.

 

3-0 loss to us as predicted by Yours Truly.








Unless Nile Ranger morphs into one of the Power Rangers and saves us.

 

I'm going but I'll actually be going up to the stadium. Will be in with the home crowd though so muted celebrations if Newcastle score.

Watch out for the expensive pies lads.

 

Sticks of rock?

 

Well, the way the sesson is panning out, maybe all of us

 

Going down on what though Freddd.

 

Dedication AB I would give you rep but not allowed but have a safe journey.

 

Not to worry about the rep LE and thanks.

A labour of love.

 

The good ship Newcastle United, in whose rowing galley we are chained for life
