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

We'll shoot as straight as an arrow and score 5.

 

We are not normally big conceders.I don't know what happened at Citeh but I guess it was part team disruption and part luck (1freak OG,1 offside by a mile)Maybe would not have mattered so much had they not been the first two goals and early on.Would be surprised if we ship 5.The West Ham result has removed much of the pressure and due to other fixtures we cannot go bottom three whatever the result.

 

Every time I've seen Norwich play at ours, they've played tight lines and been difficult to break down, and pretty efficient and effective when they have possession. I think it'll be much the same game again, and while I won't discount a narrow win one way or the other, I'd put my money on a 0-0 or 1-1 result. While we carry a genuine threat in Remy, because we expect to have more of the ball than in recent games, I think he'll be less effective than when we can counter... That of course suits Turner, who isn't the quickest or in the best of form right now.

 

This
Last season we played out one of the dullest games i have ever seen .

 

The score 5 remark was just because of the pic of the 5 archers. I don't for a moment expect to score 5.

 

Corrected, should have been two bore draws, though Ba had that instinct in front of goal that was the difference at SJP.

 

I really don't like these international breaks. The weekend just doesn't have the same glow when there isn't an NUFC match to anticipate.

 

This. Though only when we're doing well. Over summer I was grateful for the peace of safety to be honest.

 

Don't like the breaks myself, always look forward to Saturday (as a rule) to see us play!

 

Fixed

 

Completely agree regarding the break.It is a real downer when one of your players gets a bad injury playing in some totally pointless game.And it matters far more to those of us with thinner squads.

 

I agree that it's going to be a very tight game, as per the last few times we've faced each other.
I'll be very happy with a point.

 

How do chaps, I'm flying over from Cork on Friday for the Norwich match, will it be easy enough to pick up some tickets at the ground??

 

Sat 23.11.2013 Norwich City (h) @ SJP, 3pm. Premier League. Public sale now.

That's all it says on the NUFC.com homepage, it doesn't say how many are available.

 

Cheers bud, i'd imagine it won't be a sellout?? I was just gonna head up to SJP on the day........

 

You should be ok for one.

 

Glad I took the picture... you fellas look ridiculous. Except Obi of course.

 

Obi had just come back from his holidays so looked more relaxed than us.

Plus I hadn't had time to shave that day.

 

Gutted to be missing this game but i reckon we may nick a 2-1 here,
I dont think we will deserve it but remy/ben arfa goal near the end will fix it..
Don't see Norwich near relegation this season, they just need a little momentum. Hope it isn't against us though

 

I think we'll win but I hope it doesn't put the final nail in CH's coffin.
