There’s a really terrible statistic about Newcastle playing at Old Trafford that is almost (but not quite) as bad as the fact we haven’t won a trophy since Joe Harvey’s Newcastle side won the Inter-City Fairs Cup (evolved into the UEFA Cup then Europa League) back in 1969, when I was still a youngster at 49.
Joe Harvey with Bobby Moncur and Malcolm Macdonald – circa 1972
And it was Joe Harvey’s side that won that game back on February 11th, 1972 by 2-0, when we had a decent enough side, and Alan Pardew has said today he’s only going to Old Trafford to win – but how many managers have said that in the past?
And in that victory in 1972 – Brian Kidd, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best all played for the Red Devils that day.
But you have to give it to Alan, because he’s so positive and he really goes into every game trying to win it – somehow – and not all managers do that these days.
Alan has come out and said this today in the local press:
“We can win.” We will be strong tomorrow.” “There will be three or four players that I will need to rest for Reading for sure.” “But all the teams in this competition will be the same. There are just too many games for players to play in every single one.”
“Having said that, Colo and Cheick will play and we’ll have a nice balance to our team and we are going to try to win the game.” “After Christmas we will look at what our priorities are. At this stage we will just try to win every game.”
“Cheick has that aggression. He can channel it the wrong way when he’s not 100% which he did on Sunday against Norwich.” “You can’t help but love him for it. He’s so important to the club and the team.” “We all look to him when things aren’t going so well.”
“When things are going well it is because he’s got a good grip on the game in the first 20 minutes.” “And we want to get him up to speed as quick as we can.”
We’re sure Alan Pardew is using that statistic to spur his players on tomorrow night, and it would be another great victory if we can win the game – and add to the 3-0 victory at St. James’ Park in January – when we took the 12 times Premier League Champions apart that night.
They just couldn’t live with the Newcastle team. 
Oh, I feel a lot better now.
It would be fantastic to get another win against them tomorrow night.
Howay The Lads!!

Have we really not won at Old Trafford for that long? Madness. Time to change.
5 tequilamag // Sep 25, 2012 at 11:40 AM
Remember them beating us 7 goals to 2 back in the 70s. And we had a pretty good team at the time. Mick Mahoney was not such a super goalie that day.
6 Tsunki // Sep 25, 2012 at 11:43 AM
A win is due and of course so is another stuffing. Ref’s home is a five minute walk from the ground, a rabid Tiote to get sent off, stuff exploding, aliens taking over …
Or we could get a historic win. Cisse to score. Why not start with Shola and Papiss?
7 Big Pappa Cissé // Sep 25, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Well we beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season after not winning there for a good few years so maybe Pardew can work his magic again. I would start Cisse & Ameobi up top as Papiss desperately needs a goal

17 check the toastie // Sep 25, 2012 at 12:22 PM
Think team should be
Harper
Tav Collo Willo Fergy
Obertan Tiote Bigi Sammi
Shola Cisse
Tav should be given a run out for me, also Marveaux needs to show some desire, start looking like he wants to impress, Fergy and Sammi would be class. Loads of pace and loads of end product. Not sure about the defensive side of it though.

19 check the toastie // Sep 25, 2012 at 12:30 PM
Shane, Tiote seemed to be on a mission to get sent off, it was like watching some nutcase in the Sunday league. Could have easily picked up 2 yellows for the full ten minutes he was on the pitch, went Mental.
20 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Sep 25, 2012 at 12:31 PM
Shane…He was like a man possessed. I think he wanted to let the whole PL know he was back and ready to break some….ermmm…bones. He needs to tone it down or he’ll match his yellow card count with red cards.
He’s a battler, but I don’t want him to just be a thug. We’re quick to point out other teams bullies and I hope Mr T can show the rest of the league how it’s supposed to be done….without compromising who he is….which I appreciate is easier said than done.

Tiote was insane against Norwich but he always has that in his game
I found it funny to watch though barring him trying to take on the whole Norwich team in our half whilst 3 of our back five scream at hims to get rid of the ball
25 beefman13 // Sep 25, 2012 at 12:44 PM
check, that would be a decent team tonight, maybe campbell to come on later for shola or cisse.
there is quite a few angles to look at it, i prefer shola to come on as a sub, but will prob start.
26 NUFC_LEAZES END // Sep 25, 2012 at 12:55 PM
@619
Don’t think we should start HBA, but bring him on at half time if a player is under performing like how we did against everton.
Tiote would get a start instead
27 Shane // Sep 25, 2012 at 12:58 PM

We should b in this,
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-nextgen-1341794
Euro u19 league aimed at bridging gap between 1st team and youth teams. This could be our u19 team
Alnwick
Nicholson – Goode – Steete – moyo
Knight – Bigi – Henderson – Miele
Campbell – hooper
All 19 and under. Don’t think that is a particularly strong team. I think we are lacking at this age group. May need to bring in some top players at this level.
43 jesperfuglsang // Sep 25, 2012 at 2:18 PM
Bollance & Leazes… if Benny is not even travelling then of course he is not playing
But since he has not been playing EL so far and the silver supremo clearly want a win I think our best player will play tomorrow
He should be alright for the Reading game and we should be able to win that regardless of Benny…all I am saying
44 Carryingcoals // Sep 25, 2012 at 2:18 PM
Interesting link Bollance
45 bollance // Sep 25, 2012 at 2:31 PM
Jesper
And if hba got injured in a game which is less important then the premier league. Not worth the risk for a game we have not historically won for 40 years.
Carryingcoals
With what the club are trying to achieve with our youth team a competition like this may be good to enter. One thing I would like to know is how did we let the club only achieve 2nd grade status for our youth team. This limits player recruitment to within our area. Are we basically saying that we can compete with the bigger teams who cream the best players.
Maybe our strategy is to lay in wait for players like Bigi who are already established in the championship at a young age. Or league 1.
Time will tell.
Last season we did play a u23 tournament in Italy which we didn’t do too well in but was deemed a success as our players gained vital experience against euro opposition.
46 bills-son // Sep 25, 2012 at 2:38 PM
What is almost always forgotten about that last win at Man U back in Feb 1972 is that it was the game after the most humiliating defeat in the Toon’s history – the 2.1 FA cup defeat away to non league Hereford Town.
In those day’s NUFC rarely won a game away from home and they were a laughing stock when they went to Old Trafford after that cup defeat. I remember the game and the utter disbelief when we won 2.0. It certainly shut the Mancs up for once.
47 toonincheek // Sep 25, 2012 at 2:48 PM
I think we will field a strong team – but -
if ever there was a time for Pardew to say that Tiote and Colo weren’t yet ready, this would have been the time . .
48 Carryingcoals // Sep 25, 2012 at 2:53 PM
bollance
its certainly disappointing, its an area of the club that needs significantly looked at.
I do expect us to pursue with youth in the way we have done with Bigi for example but it doesnt hide the fact that the whole youth system needs revamping and focus on.
Re the Ben Arfa point: I understand concerns about him getting injured in a game where we will probably lose and historically fail at. However, you could argue that if he is then injured against Reading why did we not protect him for the following home game against man U which will be harder. Who knows what will happen..
Its difficult. I personally grow tired of year in year out throwing chances away in the cup. I’d like to surprise everybody by going there tomorrow full strength, producing a huge shock and upset. However Pardew is being sensible I do appreciate and understand that.
Pragmatism trumps idealism.
49 toonLYF // Sep 25, 2012 at 3:08 PM
i really hope we see Bigi and Tiote as our CM partnership, with Shola and Papiss upfront. Harps to maintain the keeper shirt, with Elliot playing against Bordeaux at home (deserves a game infront of a nice big home crowd after his performance in Madeira).
Other than that, trust what Pards puts out, however i will say, we seem short on good winger options, which is slightly concerning.
50 Carryingcoals // Sep 25, 2012 at 3:11 PM
toonLYF
Completely agree. Really don’t want to see Cisse upfront by himself, it won’t work. Bigi and Tiote in the middle would be exciting to see.
51 jesperfuglsang // Sep 25, 2012 at 3:20 PM
Bollance…I know what you are saying, but I refuse to look at football that way…
Benny broke his leg two years ago and the only thing we could habve done to prevent that was not playing him
is that the way forward?
Reading should be something we could handle regardless of Benny playing only 60 min. or not even playing.
For me the League One Cup is a chance to try something different as well, but I expect Pardew to go for a win
52 toonLYF // Sep 25, 2012 at 3:22 PM
Shola/Cisse will be very effective imo, even moreso than Ba/Shola, as Papiss is a master of playing on the shoulder and his attacking positions are just waiting for knockdowns; something Ba doesn’t supply very often.
As for Bigirimana and Tiote, they’ll come up against Powell and Fletcher most likely, and with Bigi’s astonishing agility and composure, and Cheick in the mindset he was against Norwich, the two Manure men will be praying to be brought off at HT

Maybe we should have tried to get him back? He still has plenty of pace by the looks of it, and maybe he’s learned a few things on his travels.
As for Wednesday, I’m quietly confident. Hopefully our cup team will start to gel and I’ve got a feeling big Shola will be in the mood.

Anyway, non-sympathy inducing whinge aside, I think SAF will not put out a team that will risk being knocked out of the competition. I dont think he treats any cup as small beer, so if he does field a ‘weakened’ side the bench will still have some names to wheel on in the event we are nudging ahead. I still feel that they are a bit weak again this year overall though, so we could end up winning this one, very feasible I think.

On the International break, I haven’t a clue. I hope not, but it sounds about right…..bloomin’ International breaks….grrrr

Ibiza – Great buy, big things coming for this kid; and as was said the other day, if he chooses England (no reason why he shouldn’t, as he’ll get into the u21′s no bother) he’ll have a huge sell-on value. Some more great scouting, and just proves there’s hidden talent already playing in England.

plus this demba ba saga……….. hmmm…… and cisse of form…
well cisse of form i kind of new it would be coming tht goals per game record looked just too perfect …… 13 goals in 14 games…… but may i make a point……
cisse will score sometime soon….. he always has chances even when he’s off form chances come to him… he is doing something right but thts not helping our goals but ba has found his mojo again and imagine when both of them are running full force……..
for those who criticize his hold up play…….. i dont think cisse is tht type of striker he is a poacher someone who will add the final touch not one of those powerful target men Ala shola and ba

…..ahh if it is a break i’ll be fuming if we have vital player injuries for the Derby.
maybe a full box of Marlboro red :p…those core flavour ones i was getting from Barcelona/Tossa De Mar earlier this year, they’ll do just fine
besides, my first Newcastle v Man United game was the 3-0, i think i’d rather stick with that as my memory of seeing Manu at SJP. I don’t think i could refrain from choking Ferguson out with some Wrigley’s if i had to watch him celebrate beating my beloved.

LYF… Marlboro Reds? Hardcore
I often think Sir Alex is choking on some of his gum. Often left disappointed that he is always that red and isn’t just struggling for air. I can see why you would be happy with the 3-0 win as a lasting memory…what a game.
786….Ah yes. Ba will be gone soon. He is just so unhappy, even his agent said so and he only has Ba’s best interests at heart. Cisse needs to be sold, the one season wonder. Mind boggling stuff

How come we haven’t kicked off about the £45 they are charging for this game. It’s not on! sky could have had a good atmosphere for its viewing punters with our support but we have rightly boycotted this game.
105 BelfastMagpie // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:36 PM
Sell Simpson and Willo and buy Bradley Orr.
And lets push the boat out and get Scharner on loan.
Oh and make him captain too.!
106 BelfastMagpie // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:38 PM
Hacked by Kets!
107 jesperfuglsang // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:39 PM
Belfast…I mean Kets is that you?
lol
108 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:46 PM
At last. Some sense! Welcome back Belfast, now kindly p*ss off (I have been practicing your wonderful teachings).
Hotdog….It’s ridiculous money. Shame the lads wont have a roaring toon army, but understandable. Surely the players could fund some tickets?
109 BelfastMagpie // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:47 PM
1,2,3 im back in the room.
Dont know what came over me.
Ket’s fault..
110 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:50 PM
Belfast….If Kets is holding a gun to your head making you say these things. Offer a trade on some pinini stickers. That should distract him enough to make a run for it. Don’t try and be a hero, Paul can look after himself. Just get out of there.

Its amazing how a little bit of rain or snow cripples the country. What are we gunna do when the Zombie Apocalypse happens ?
112 BelfastMagpie // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:51 PM
Ibiza im proud of you.
You f***** c***.
113 BelfastMagpie // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:53 PM
Nah we were sniffing his petrol can earlier.
114 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Sep 25, 2012 at 5:55 PM
Belfast….Well, you know where you can stick your pride you useless tw*t! God that feels good.
Sniffing his petrol can….I hope that isn’t a metaphor and if it is, please keep it to yourself.
