This game will won of the first in a few years that I will be working whilst it is on. How i avoided this for so long, god knows but it will be hard not knowing the score probably until match of the day comes on!
that will take a lot of will power and no access to any tablets, PC's, TV's phones etc. Best of luck with that.
My daughter's boyfriend, a Newcastle fan, tells me that on the forum he uses most fans are hoping that the Magpies lose the next couple of games so that Pardew will get sacked. Let's hope that the same attitude affects the team as well! They have made a couple of decent additions though, Cabella and De Jong are both excellent players, but De Jong faces up to 4 months out with a groin strain so won't be playing against us.
I can't see anything other than a comfortable win for us on the 13th.
I think Pardews fate was decided the moment he sold Cabaye in the January window. He was their only consistent goalscorer and was sold without a decent replacement. Whether that was his doing or not is up for debate but he copped the brunt of the anger for it.
They are in disarray and i hope we can take 3 points from em.
I'm hopeful re the 3 points but aware Saints have buggered this type of game up in the last couple of seasons (Sunderland anyone). Pardew is just a lightning rod for Ashley these days, worst ways to make money I suppose.
Expectations up due to the new boys I guess, nice to be looking forward to a game so much considering some of the stuff over the last three months.
Certainly not yet. You'll just pop come the big day.greensaint:7025248 said:This is the build up to the pre pre match thread![]()
At what point is it acceptable to feel "stoked" for this game.
I hate peaking early and want to pace myself.
If Newcastle come to try and gain three points we'll thrash them.
If they come to draw 0-0, they'll maybe get what they are looking for.
It's the story of the past couple of seasons.
