speaking of Harps did anyone notice his gash suit last night?
Looked like he's popped into Oxfam to get kitted out.

 

Heard he was very careful with his coin.

 

Me too. The landlord of my local knows him and apparently he has over 300 houses in Easington.
Fair play to him.

 

I too have heard that Krul is out for 5 weeks. We certainly have had our fair share of bad luck this season. Who will be in goal now Elliot or Harper?

 

I think Pards will go with Eliot but I'd rather Harps for the experience..

 

Almost certain to Elliot I'd think.

Harps would still do a good job for us but I think Elliot will be that little bit fitter.

 

Agree, I think Pards will go for Elliot. Real pity about Tim, especially after that performance last night.

It will get the Saints fans hopeful, they are already talking up their chances.

 

Talking about 'keepers', Shaka Hislop is 44 today.

 

Was a hero again last night, not for the first time either, a lot of his work tends to go unnoticed.

 

I liked Shaka, he was a hero down at Reading too.

 

Shaka was mr horizontal lol

 

Wow. Its really nice of you guys to put out the Tricolour for our Morgan. I know he'll really appreciate that. A really nice touch. Thanks.

He's a great little French player you know.

You should try and get one or two it could make a difference to your team you know.

 

Thanks, good idea!

Although I can't believe you'd taunt us by having a Mackem Avatar!

 

Hey Geordie lads! Hope you're doing alright! I think it will be a tight game on Sunday, but I hope we can win of course, but I think it'll be a draw, very tough place to get something from in Geordie Land.

What do you reckon the score will be? I think it will be 1-1. Cabaye and Lambo to score.

 

Hello Mr. Mister. I think it will be tight, maybe 2-2 or we might sneak a 3-2 win.

 

Think I'll have a dabble on 3-1.

14/1

 

14-1 sound optimistic AB. Do you think Shola will get more than five of them?

 

bloody weather,
if this game was on today it would certainly be in doubt
Im in the centre of Newcastle at the moment and it's a whiteout

 

Either Reading or Wigan (or both) will gain points okay, so our match vs the Saints is vital. It's one of those weeks where we desperately need to win, but today eyes will be on other results.

We need Arsenal and Man United to do us favours against Vile & QPR (what's the betting they lose when we actually want them to win).

Could also do with Baggies beating Sunderland, Everton beating Norwich (sorry Canary-Dave, needs must) and Fulham dropping points against Stoke.

 

It seems you lot are pretty confident you'll be putting out a much better side than the one we faced at St Mary's in November. But it's fair to say that we're also an improved side since then, so we may just defy the stats (you've won 8 of our last 9 meetings at St James') and get something out of the game.

Forgetting tomorrow for the moment, are you confident that relegation won't be an issue for you this season?
