Newcastle United v West Ham - Official Matchday/Buildup Thread

Carver saying this is the most important game for us in years. If so, then why is out playing golf today?
He should have them in morning and afternoon and working their bollocks off. Please, Please don't pick Taylor for this game, too slow, not 100% committed to tackling ( understandable ) and looses possesion to easily or passes it to opposing players.

 

Changing my avitar for the week as 2 heads are better than one.

 

I think a mod may ask you to change that Avi. I once had a partial nipple as mine and 5 goals asked me to take it down. The new rules are even more restrictive I reckon.
It's funny though.

 

we will get beat 1-3 and Hull will best Man Utd 2-0.
Bye bye premiership.

 

Some guy on totalsport said Dummett should be captain. Such suggestions should warrant death via pitchfork anal rampage on an unbeknowst scale.

 

Carver? Or Charnley? Can't be anyone else in the Universe.

 

Toon 2 v 1 westham
Hull 1 v 3 man utd

Safe and rebuild from top to bottom...

 

If we stay up I think we will have Hull to thank, rather than any effort our players might possibly manage to exert.

I agree with Rolando in that it is a dangerous assumption to think that Hull will not win. We need to win this game, but I fear our players will assume that Hull beating Man Utd is unlikely and will use that as a reason to jog around the pitch, occasionally making an attempt to get the ball and generally not making any more of an effort than absolutely necessary, because I mean who wants to be injured just before they go on holiday?

Man Utd have shown this season they are completely beatable (Swansea (twice), Leicester, Southampton, West Brom) and that means they can be beaten on Sunday.

 

I agree - has to be 4-3-3 for this game. Good call

 

I have said all along that we will stay up and I'm not going to change my opinion now. I reckon it will be close but IF he plays our strongest possible starting 11 then I fancy us to nick it.

 

I have to confess I've just popped another fiver on us going down.
The 7/1 is too good to refuse....
I'll now get £370 if we go down which covers my ST....

 

I think we will stay up and if we do, we should reward Danny Ings with a £100,000.00 a week contract just for beating hull a couple weeks ago. That will be the game we look back on and think, if Hull had won that we would have gone down. Even a draw would have been bad news as they would only require a draw again man u, presuming we of course go and lose.

 

Past the point of caring anymore TBH. I think I actually hate anything to do with football now, thanks to Mr Toad and Ratty and Moley. ****STAINS !!!

 

Arsenal 5-0 Mackems

Chelsea 2-0 Mackems
Hull 1-0 Man Ure
Knackers 0-3 West Ham

We're going down. Ashley will lose money. Carver to be appointed permanently in the Championship. Cue several years in the football wilderness. Shame, take Carver out, I would quite look forward to going to Ashton Gate etc next season.

 

You could lose 10-0, it won't matter. I appreciate the nerves but to be honest Man Utd could pick a team from their travelling support and it will be enough to beat us. Relax, and enjoy the day.....Hull City's relegation is sadly (for me) a formality.

 

Mate, not a chance! You can't fck about with destiny!!! It's all set up for us, everything points to a Newcastle relegation.

 

Relegation or not, what difference does it make in the scheme of things.
I think we'll escape the drop, a 1-1 draw and then hope for the best.

The long awaited Fenwicks Window Show, with ACS and JPF will be interesting and probably more entertaining than the football.
Having spent the last hour explaining the ways of JPF to my son , I can only hope that this is an episode that will have no life changing effect on him....

 

There's not really "pros", it's all "cons". What will be will be. I have my limit as to when I turn off, it's mainly linked to Carver and Charnley, and as you point out that has nothing to do with division. So we shall all chat 6pm Sunday. In the meantime, I think another game is about due.

 

Just love this from poster in Chronicle " Idlesissoko " Carver's ( The True Geordie ) team talk for Sunday.

I reckon that if Carver had the opportunity to turn back the clock and play The Little Maestro( Nobby Solano )in his prime on Sunday against West Ham he would still choose to select Obertong or Goofran instead!

John Carver addresses the pre-match press pack assembled at SJP to explain his team selection and tactics ahead of his teams do or die relegation decider against West Ham on Sunday:

"How Man! Alreet like?! Am sure these are the same tatics wor Bobby used ta dee?! Oot on the reet wing today I have chursen to giv Gaby the nod ower Nobby as Nobby is a midget comparin' to Gaby like man yenah! And wor lads need to be compeetin' against them hammers aeriully aall ower the pitch like! Espeshully doon wor reet wing as Alladeece will be hoofin' and lernchin' leng baalls up tee Stowart Doonin' an' Geet Big Nurlan as he's canny good wiv his heed aireully an' aall that like yenah wiv gud controwl! But dain't worry an' al tell yee fo' why! As wi' have Wor Willo Iron Mike who will NACK anybody in the air man includin' Nurlan! If these tatics fail then wi' weel jus' have tee resort tee Plan B which incidentully is the EXACT same tatics as Plan A but wiv one exception, one cunnin' twist which iz a touch of GENIUS by me man John Carver, to then opt to utilisin' Goofy instead of Gaby who a weel porcinally drag off the paark by the scrurtom, az ee shud ov purfermed binoo! AND i'll NACK any fan that gives uz greef or EVEN looks at uz cockeyed! Liker jus' said man Nobby will NOT be included in the squad today as he is simply ower smaall and not as fast at runnin' aboot as Gaby n' Goofy like! A sinceely herp we will win aall the 3 points today thats up fo' grabs as wi' dain't desorve tee gan doon an' git regulated intee tha fizzy pop claarts an'aall that like yenah!"

 

0-2 loss.
