I have friends who are mackems

Which is another reason to give Cisse a rest and start Ameobi. He's better suited to a mud and guts wrestling/kicking match than Cisse, and you know he'll be up for it.

With luck it'll give Cisse a kick up the backside as well.

 

I agree with this - I think shola should (and probably will) start.

 

I think it'll be an extremely tough game on Sunday. I suspect a draw but if I had to favour anyone, being honest it would probably be them. That is purely down to form as I think we have better players, a better squad and more match winners. However they have a very good home record and O'Neill has made them hard to beat. They play direct counter attack football like every team he has ever managed with the focus on hard work. He likes a high tempo and he likes his team to make it hard work to beat them. Negative many would say but it is effective if you look at his record.

I think this will be the first week this season my mates who are mackems will not care how they play. Despite a solid start they are not happy watching O'Neills side. Turgid is the word that keeps coming up.

 

The Toon Army are in a different league to the mackem-Takems...here's just one reason why.

I will leave the summing-up to a Villa fan.






scumberland are an absolute shambles, don't particularly like newcastle either but at least they've got good fans. scumberland have an obsession with villa ever since darren bent jumped to a better ship. that's how ****e they're own team is, they get kicks off being bitter about a player that scored a load of goals for them and decided it was time to better himself rather than stay at that ****ehole. even sunderland players live in newcastle hahaha, ****e club ****e fans ****e manager ****e team.
