Newcastle United v Cardiff City - Official Build Up / Matchday Thread

Morning mate.
I have Cardiff in my Acca for the weekend.
In addition I'm gonna stick a daft quid on:

Cardiff to win:

1-0
2-0
2-1
3-0
3-1
4-0

Some VERY long odds there, given we are prone to imploding.

I can see one of our lads getting sent off too.

 

I don't usually gamble, but lately been feeling the need for an 'insurance bet' (i.e. a NUFC defeat) to counter the pain of us keep losing.

However, for this one, I think a draw is my 'insurance bet'.

> IF we win, I'll be delighted. I always want NUFC to win and the sooner we stop this losing run record the better. Plus it will keep us in the top half.
> IF we lose, it heaps more pressure on Ashley & Pards (with Pards maybe, just maybe, getting the boot) and also keeps the Mackems in the relegation battle until the very end.
> IF we draw! neither of those happen - especially if other results go Sunderland's way. We won't have a victory, we'll still have Pards, it leaves more chance of slipping to 10th or even 11th, the Mackems could be all but safe.

So I might stick a couple on a draw to make the result a WIN /WIN/WIN situation.

 

Wow, 9 points from one game. That would be Brill.

 

Now that I like. Except it means we would have missed out on 54 points in the last 6 games.

 

The way we've been playing you'd think we didn't want any points.

Even the Arsenal fans said that the team didn't deserve us.

 

Pards should on that 'Pointless' quiz show. He'd be excellent.

Is there one called 'Clueless' too?

 

He'd be much better on that.

 

Dont know whether or not i am looking forward to the game on saturday. First year in Premier league since the year i was borne and been supporting Cardiff since the age of 9, i have to say, what a huge disappointment this season has been and i also have to say the PL is not all what its cracked up to be, its basically 5 or 6 teams at the top and the rest left to scrap it out. I have been trying to pick out my highlights of the season, suppose it has to be our victory over Man City 3 - 2 although i was suffering with the hangover from hell after a Royal Navy reunion in Southampton the day before, so in the words of Father Jack. 'Its been Shyte' As for saturday i cannot see anything other than a re sounding victory for you Lads. Oh then we have the last home game of the season to look forward to....Not...Chelsea, which should result in another resounding thumping. Sorry lads cannot see any enjoyment in watching the teams we all love and follow getting walloped 3 or 4 nil every week. Any way must go there is an interesting game of tiddlywinks about to be aired on Sky Sports.. Take care.

 

Resurrect Blockbusters for Pardew - 'Can I have a point please Bob'

 

Bob - "Which 'INMF' is commonly heard immediately after a Newcastle United football match?"
Pards - "err, oh, 'It's not my fault'!"
Bob - "Correct!"

 

Trust me guys, you will batter us

 

Have you watched MOTD lately?

Bellamy will probably score against us.

 

Bellers might just put one in his own goal.

 

Trust us - We won't!

We couldn't batter a sausage at the minute.

 

I heard that Obi batters his sausage every day.

 

No, that's ACS, he works in a chip shop so batters sausage all the time. His speciality is the battered mini chipolata.

 

Very interesting, have you got a pic?

 

Nah, the zoom wasn't strong enough.

 

Just to add to the gloom, the team will be playing in the new drab all-grey kit for this match according to NUFC.COM. Can't wait!


"United announced the design for next season's change kit on Thursday, also confirming that the all-grey strip will be worn against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday week.

Sales of the Puma kit begin next Thursday (May 8th) and while the club's press release references similar kits produced by Umbro from the 1980s, the new ensemble also resembles our Adidas third kits from 2003 & 2008."

 

Seen the neck on that thing - It practically hangs down the chest. Awful.
