I have an awful feeling that this is going to be one of those games for us where we dominate but fail to take any of our chances, and end up losing to a flukey goal. It's as though the anti-god of the North London Power-Shift is preventing the best team in London from realising its true destiny.
Sandro seems to have hurt himself by performing that superb tackle on Heskey. Wouldn't be surprised to see Parker introduced at the break.
We haven't played badly, they only need to miss one of those last ditch tackles in order for a chance to happen. There have been a lot of interceptions and the Villa defence have made every one. I would hope that can't continue!
Toure opens the scoring in the Newcastle v City game. Massively important goal, if it remains the same scoreline.
Would anyone else here be extremely embarrassed if we manage to scrape top 4 only because we are marginally less awful than the Toon?
Newcastle have done very well this season, HIAG. They've had the odd moment where it's all gone wrong, the 5-0 at WHL for example, but they've really troubled most teams, even when they've lost.
Not in the slightest actually...... Now let's get into them in then2nd half and make that an irrelevance!!
****ing marvelous pretty much game over now. Absolute ****ing joke, with those twats up the road dropping points yesterday you would have thought they would be up for this - poor!
