Action from the last game between the two teams. Colback puts in a fine tackle on the Watford fullback.
A game where we are expecting 3pts but Watford's form has been surprisingly good. Their only defeat came away to Man City and after 3pts from 3 draws they moved on to 6pts with a 1-0 win at home to Swansea last weekend moving them up to 13th place. Newcastle are just 7 places below them.
INJURIES
​

Three centre halves (well 2 and Williamson) on the treatment table. Taylor has an unspecified "knock" and will be out for an unspecified time - which is about par for the course. Williamson is out for another week with an arm/elbow injury - so BRS was right (he is a real wxxker and has now injured himself in the process). Mitrovic is out for this and next weeks game after his red card against Arsenal. Apparently the club were taking the piss out of him on his 21st birthday.

My predictions
Newcastle to sneak it 2-0.
ACS to plagiarise my match headline again
JiMiley to go for 3-1
Obi to go for a Double Big Mac
Panthro to predict a loss
30/30 to post something about Pardew
McLaren to play Tiote, Colback & Anita in midfield
None of My Pictures to show up again

Erm... where's the QPR head to head stats?


Good show Jakarta- cheers mate!

 

We're basically paying Taylor to warm the physio table so it's time to get rid.
His contract is up a the end of the season so it's a perfect time to let him go.
I'm thinking we will win 2-0 also Jakarta.
Gonna wear my lucky chino's so hopefully they will bring me luck.

 

What luck have they brought you before - it certainly cant have been with the ladies?

 

They luckily his the skid marks one night so that I could get home.....

Have stickied this mate!

 

Not sure whether you mean the Chinos or the Match Day Thread but I hope the latter.

 

I have my white chino's for that...

 

I think we will win by just a solitary goal.
Thauvin will score.

 

3-0 to the Toon, Mitrovic to be red carded from the dugout and receive a 6 month suspension.

 

Watford are far superior and will pass around the ball effectively

1-2 loss

 

2-1 sketchy performance.

Jakarta raises the bar...and smashes ACS over the head with it

 

great thread jak,. re marv what the hell is a gilmores groin?

ok i just looked it up, 'Gilmore's Groin can also be known as a Sportsmans Hernia, athletic pubalgia, slap shot gut and sports hernia.'

' Coughing and sneezing may also cause groin pain.'

eh, sounds about right for marv. Hard to predict anything as i really dont know what were capable of at the moment, and will depend how we line up. Watford look tidy enough to hold us to another clean sheet regardless.

 

Have to say this is an improvement on recent match day threads.
I like the idea of the 9:00 pm KO, gives me a bit more time to get inebriated.

Will go for a 2 - 1 being a happy clapper optimist.
There is a much better chance of a win as I won't be there, as I'm off to York for a few days.

Thankfully, this will ensure I won't be able to bump into ACS at the match and be blinded by the Chinos.
If I'm going to shout for Huey, Burt or Ralph at the weekend, I would prefer it to be due to alcohol, rather than seeing those damned Chinos.

Hopefully, I'll get to see the match in York, I normally go to a pub called The Terrace, but the Missus has put her foot down and said we ain't going cos it's always full of fat smelly blokes. I can't understand it to be honest, as far as I know she doesn't even know Obi...

 

Laughing while you collect a multi thousand pound salary per week while doing nothing can have a similar effect.
Does anybody else find it a bit sinister that week after week Riviere is reported as maybe needing.a knee operation but we will wait and see if it gets better. Sounds like Mike has decided its better to take the insurance money and leave him suffering than pay for an operation and risk having him play again.

 

Tags!

 

Now I feel I have made it - first time I have been the subject of tags.

 

Those tags are very immature, shame on you all. Fancy hiding behind the anonymity of tags to rinse the lad

 

I just cant see us scoring a goal to be honest. He has to change the formation somehow so we can have some sort of threat up front. If we lose again then I may have to contact Satan himself again. I feel a wager coming on.........

 

Collback will score in the 94th minute to make it 4-1, however the ref will disallow the goal because he didn't get a ginger biscuit with his tea at half time leaving it 3-1 to the lads.

 

What odds did your bookie give you on that kind of detail Jim?
