  aye, that’s probably alreet, he’ll be more vocal and I reckon we’ll need that tonight…

  Ha’way the lads

• 2 Toon Graeme // Oct 20, 2008 at 14:01

  See you in SJP lads - those who can make it.

  Me thinks £48K tonight in the stands.

• 3 ObaFan2 // Oct 20, 2008 at 14:23

  So how many pens will he give away tonight… by example

  Not going to be an easy game and although I’m sure the team will get the support, we need a new owner in and our club settled asap.

  Hmm Nicky Butt eh!, bit slow in my opinion, on the other hand he`s the only real DM we have. Too bad Joey is out rather see him in there, fraid Butt is prone to getting caught and resorting to proffessional fouls, as is both Cacapa and Geremi and a team with pace like Man C. could exploit that.

• 5 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:19

  The last pen Butt ‘gave away’, should never have been a pen, as it was offside before it even happened…So, blame the officials on that one!..

• 6 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:23

  I reckon givin’ Butt the armband for tonight is fair enough…If/when Colo gets his ‘english’ together, i’d have him as capt…

• 7 graeme // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:26

  Give Butt a cattle prod along with the armband. He can use it to keep Taylor on his toes and awake!!!!

• 8 AndyT // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:26

  Pace and accurate distribution are going to be major factors tonight. Unfortunately that means Butt needs as much help as possible, because while he may be a leader and have tons of experience he has neither pace nor accuracy in his passing.

• 9 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:30

  Good shout Graeme…

• 10 steve // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:41

• 11 Turkish magpie // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:47

  Score predictions for tonight?
  And scorers

• 12 Turkish magpie // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:48

  newcastle 2-0 man city

  Martins and duff

• 13 Danish_Magpie // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:51

  I would like our line-up tonight to be:

  …………………Given……………….
  Beye……Taylor…Colo….Bassong

  ……………Guthrie……Butt…………
  Duff……………………………..Zoggy

  …………..Martins…Xisco………….

  With possibly Shola, Geremi and Enrique coming on…

  However, I think the line-up Joe will choose is:

  ……………………Given…………………..
  Beye…….Taylor……..Colo…..Bassong

  ……….Geremi..Butt..Gurthrie………..

  ….Duff………………………………Zoggy
  ……………………Martins……………….

• 14 Danish_Magpie // Oct 20, 2008 at 15:52

  With regards to predictions, optimistically I would say 1-1 or 2-2.

  Realistically, I fear 0-3.

• 15 Hugh Jorgan // Oct 20, 2008 at 16:18

  Let’s be positive lads !
  3-0
  Obafemi Martins hat trick

• 16 Rasko a.k.a Hadji // Oct 20, 2008 at 16:24

  My heart says 2-1 for the Toon

  My head says 1-3 for City

• 17 AndyT // Oct 20, 2008 at 16:25

  Last time I was at SJP for a Man City game was when we won 4-3 after being 3-1 up then getting pegged back to 3-3 (I think 2 seasons ago?). Tonight could be one of those kind of games - hopefully we come out on the right side of the scoreline.

• 18 Mac // Oct 20, 2008 at 16:30

  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

  I am so so nervous about the game. I just want to smile again when i think about Newcastle. Just think a result tonight and a win against the unwashed and our season is right back on track. However 2 bad results and we’re deep in the Shi*e

• 19 AndyNUFC // Oct 20, 2008 at 16:40

  Beye or Coloccini should be captain, Butt’s poor form does not make up for his experience.

• 20 sirjasontooon // Oct 20, 2008 at 17:01

  Expect a battering tonight….the squad really is shat to be honest and needs the dead wood shipped out.

  I am going 1-3 to city…i just think they have far to much for us right now…but hey you never know JK might actually get the lads slightly inspired.

  Shame Jonas aint back yet really want to see him put on a show like he did at man u.

• 21 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 17:12

  The squad’s definately not shit!..
  …They just need a couple of wins under their belts to breed a bit of confidence…
  …Manc blow hot & cold atm & their defense ain’t all that either!..

• 22 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 17:16

  We just need 3/5 players in!..

• 23 ObaFan2 // Oct 20, 2008 at 17:22

  Indeed it shouldn’t have been a penalty, for offside but it was still a rediculous tackle and he does give free kicks away too due to bad timing.
  I hope Butt does well as he can play really well and can pick good passes out too, just getting a little old and a little slower.

  I take ya’ point ObaFan2…
  …Ya’ right, also players defendin’ should realize that, if you slide in, the attacker is always gonna try & make contact & go down…Sad state of the game really…

• 27 Marty-TOON RISING // Oct 20, 2008 at 17:53

  beye the great???????
  whats the point of that video on here????????????
  dumbass

• 28 beyethegreat // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:16

  marty
  1st of all i am sorry for posting that vid i meant to post a different one
  2nd what is the point in getting personal all i did was post a vid

• 29 JJ // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:25

  Firstly

  Nicky Butt is one of the worst players to play for Newcastle - his passing is terrible, he is too slow and he makes far too many mistakes for someone of his experience in danger areas.

  Secondly, I fear Man City have too much pace in their midfield with Robinho and Elano and Petrov and Wright Phillips for the likes of Butt to cope with.

  Thirdly, here to hoping Im terribly wrong and Man City play shockly and we win 2-1. : )

• 30 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:34

  petrov’s injured!..

  …& can everyone stop slagging our players off…
  …While i’m no major Nicky Butt fan, i seem to remember him havin’ some excellent games for us in the last couple of years!..

• 31 beyethegreat // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:38

  i agree punk skunk though he is still a good player he needs to be used less than what he is now i realize we have no other options but perhaps that is a reason for his lack of form this season

• 32 Big Dave // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:41

  Well lads I still think JK is going to play Strolla and in a way I hope he does just to see if he can change as all the managers have tried him so he must have something going for him in training that they keep trying him. i’m going for a 2-1

• 33 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:43

  If swp plays like he did for mingland, runnin’ up blind allies & fallin’ over, then, whey hey!..

• 35 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:46

  I agree Beye,
  he’s still a good player, but like you say, he should probably play less often!..

  …I’m just sick of this: He’s (whoever?) had a mare, let’s make his life a misery & get on his back routine…It’s Bullshit!..

• 36 beyethegreat // Oct 20, 2008 at 18:56

  punk skunk you may disagree with me on this one but i think pretty much all our players are good even smith he just needs some confidence booing doesnot help the only time imo you should boo is when you want a manager gone any other time is just pointless all it does is make matters worse 1 coz it lowers the players confidence and 2 it gives the media an excuse to get on our backs and lets be honest most of the time they dont even need an excuse

• 37 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 19:02

  Totally agree mate…
  …I’d never boo in a million years!..

  …Y’dead right about the (de)press, waitin’ like vultures to pounch…Scum!..

  …& even tho’ i never wanted smith to come here, i’d still never boo him, it’s counter-productive & counter-intuitive…& only ever makes things worse, like you say!..

• 38 beyethegreat // Oct 20, 2008 at 19:03

  what time is kick off

• 39 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 19:04

  is sop cast streaming the game

• 44 Tom4Nufc // Oct 20, 2008 at 19:12

  NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

  AMEOBI IS STARTING!!!!

  AND NO ZOGGERS!!!!

  

• 45 KK FOREVER (Ross) // Oct 20, 2008 at 19:19

  given beye taylor coloccini bassong geremi guthrie butt duff martins ameobi…

  starting line up .

  hart, richards, dunne, ben haim, garrido, swp, kompany, jo, hamman, robinho, ireland for citeh i think.

  dunno where zogs is sadly, and ameobi is always a potential disaster. However, he has been putting himself about a little more recently, like a bigger striker should. The fact that owen has been the one scoring all the goals for us and he isnt fit is always a knock of confidence obviously.
  looks like its absolutly p’ing it down aswell.

• 46 Legs // Oct 20, 2008 at 19:33

  No Zogmeister. How depressing.

  He wants to get put on at some point like

  I guess it doesnt help that JK kisses Duff’s arse like.

  Gutted.

• 47 Punk Skunk // Oct 20, 2008 at 19:47

  As i thought…
  …Woulda prefered Xisco over Ameobi like!..
  …But hey?..
