Match Day Thread Official Matchday Thread - Newcastle vs Man Utd

At last Pards has heard my prayers and is starting Shola. I'm sure he has a lot to prove and we'll definitely be better as a team with him... Anybody know what happened to Obertan ???

Seems that Pards is going for the long ball with Raylor on the right ... For once I was right with lineup ... but we'll still get thrashed

 

Mr Positive knows his stuff

 

He got taken home.

 

Honestly, why the **** is Pardew not playing Ben Arfa? He's going for the direct approach! Ben Arfa would add skill and creativity playing behind Ba, but instead he ****ing starts Strola!

I said i'd make my prediction when i saw both line-ups, so on that, i'm going for 3 - 0 with Rooney getting 2 and Nani also netting a goal.

 

That is a terrifying line up from Ferguson and we needed to have an oulet on the pitch at least. Brace yourselves lads this is going to be horrific.

 

I am, trying to stay positive but all I can see is a 3 or 4 nil loss.

 

Here we go, the Rooney/Man U show on Sky

 

****ing sick of people saying we will get thrashed just because HBA isn't playing. As far as im aware he didn't exactly play much during our 11 game unbeaten run. Sick of all the negativity.

 

I'm saying we'll get thrashed by tactics.

 

Taylor on Sky! Get in.

 

This, quite clear he is going to play hoofball.

 

One thing they won't be doing is constantly skinning Ryan Taylor, enabling to get some crosses to Ba and probably getting a goal or 2 from somewhere. Also, take note that Berbatov only scores a hatrick every two or three games and Rooney hasn't been the goal machine he was at the start of the season.

I thought I was negative about the Everton game as well

 

That is fair enough though. It's just posts after the Liverpool game saying we lost just because he wasn't on the pitch piss me right off. As do people at the games singing for him to come on every time Obertan makes a mistake.

 

It doesn't even matter about Utd's weak defence as we are not going to get anywhere near it! We are really going to get dealt with tonight. It could get real messy

 

wait and see ffs look at their line up the pace and power in midfield. It's a disgrace.

 

Most of the complaints on here are about tactics. When Ben Arfa play we encourage passing, when we play Shola we encourage hoofing.

Can't believe people are still ****ing over Ben Arfa. He's not the second coming ffs. For every good game he has he has 2-3 anonymous ones.

 

1) I'm stoked that Matchday (On Sportsnet World, I'm assuming lots of other networks?) has referred to it as St. James' Park 3 times in the first 5 minutes.

2) As per usual, disappointed to see yet another player used up front instead of Ben Arfa...is he really going to use everyone BUT Benny before he deems him worthy of a proper starting run?

3) Pundits go on and on about 'who is going to score once Ba is gone?', and what they're failing to acknowledge that Ba is the player playing CF week in, week out, so of course he's the one producing the goals. Not to say we have anyone playing as if they will replace his goals, but its not as if we wouldn't have scored any goals if he hadn't been playing.

 

Our tactics are so **** I've never seen Ferguson look so confident. Hav you seen their line up ffs. its horrifying
