Match Day Thread Official Matchday Thread - Newcastle vs Blackburn

I think Pards will get them sorted at half time - well he better! lol

 

As much as I think we're unlikely to win the whole competition, I still don't want us to be knocked out in the third round - especially at home to Blackburn! Still another half to go though!

 

Only listening on the radio so obviously cant say much about the performance but it sounds terrible, particularly Obertan as you would expect, may aswell get Raylor on just to get him as far away from the first team as possible.

Maybe a bit of complacency after Wednesday? Going out of the cup wouldn't be the worst thing in the world with our injuries, but **** that we need to be trying or we'll never win anything.

 

Im sure it won't end 1-0, so we need to play good football and Ben Arfa is key

 

How's Hatem 'the ability to destroy any defence' Ben Arfa getting on?

Hope I'm tempting fate here and he bangs a couple in.

 

We're ****ed then.

 

Hate Blackburn, we can't lose to them! They are so dull and their fans don't deserve to progress. Hope they go down and never come back up.

 

Since playing Chelsea we've played long **** balls up field, against Man Utd we got it down and played, then today we play long **** balls again...FFS, do I need to quote Brian Clough?

 

He will take Ben Arfa off no doubt in that. Obertan will get 90 minutes.

 

I think Blackburn will need to score again to beat us, really can't see us not scoring past this defence even without Ba

 

Pardew loves the cup he won't allow us to go out in third round again

 

Well, we need another striker on. So, me personally would probably bring Shola on for Jonas and move Hatem to the left

 

We're dominating posession it seems, just can't get the ball in the net. Raylor should come on for Obertan and if that fails, bring Vuckic on for Abeid.

EDIT: BBC Sport has Blackburn with 55% possession.

 

Booing will do f*ck all you fickle ****s

Best off for Shola. Vuckic on for Abeid. Then Sammy on for Jonas.

 

If Obertan gets the full 90 I might actually run into the dugout and strangle Pardew in front of everyone.

 

Was Obertan a Pardew buy?

 

Perch is coming on ffs

 

Benny needs to be on the wing. He's too lightweight for the 'Number 10' role and easily dominated by defenders. He'd have a much better chance going at full backs and occasionally cutting in.

 

Probably!

 

Yes...
