Saturday 29 October 3pm
Looking forward to this one, hopefully we'll see a continuation of the improvement we saw against Brentford.
1-2
-
These need bringing down a peg or two. 1-0 Villa.
-
No poll ? ........bad form that, Risso
-
This won't be an easy game, but we're in a different place entirely since last Thursday. I would certainly be happy with a draw and elated if we were to win.
Same starting 11 as last Sunday with the same formation. Let's go for it and let them worry about us rather than the other way round. UTV!
-
Apologies, started one with a poll that hopefully the mods will merge.
-
1-1 Draw for me.
-
My God how much I want to beat this propaganda arm, but honestly I'd rather not have the match at all. It's too depressing.

This is where i am. They have only lost one all season, away at Liverpool, so this wont be easy and they no doubt will be expecting to beat us. But they have also drawn with Bournemouth and i think Palace at home.
We have to be wary of Trippier’s delivery into the box, but i do think without being Kamikaze, we should have a go at this lot. With the tweaks Danks made and the players being out to impress Emery, i have a sneaking feeling we could get a result here for the first time in years.
0-2 (Ings, Beundia)
-
They're not all that, we've got better players. Play anything like we did Sunday and they won't know what's hit them.
3-1 to us.
-
Howe is doing a great job up there. Their midfield still has Longstaff and Willock in it.

And Dan Burn at left back

1-1 Draw for me.
I'd take that Darren
UTV
The Doc
-
Well, well, well. How things have changed from the depressing need to predict the utterly predictable over the last few months.
They are flying and had we not appointed a new boss I would've said definite defeat, nothing against the current coaches mind. But perhaps the boost of Emery's imminent arrival may give us an additional uplift so lets' keep that feelgood factor to the fore.
2-2
-
3-3
-
Tough game. Even with our feel good factor I think this will be w bump in the road for us. Newcastle win.
-
I'd be delighted with a draw, but think they'll nick it.

Yep, I think my head is with you, but my heart says fuck 'Em and let's have a go.
-
They will be desperate to beat us, they have never forgiven us for that ANT & DEC banner an relegating them
Hoping for a draw 1-1
-
1-2 and the feel-good factor to continue. They can't keep winning forever, they're not that good.

This!

Yes, this. Brentford were the savvy, bright young things and we made them look like absolute pub players to a man when we could finally be arsed. We can do this mob.
-
1-1 Draw for me.
And for me, which I think would be a decent result.
-
I'd start the same team that started against Brentford. Guimarães is their main man who makes the rest of the team tick, so Doncks could be tasked with keeping him quiet. Almiron and Wilson seem to be in good form, so the defence will have to be at their best, but there's nothing to be too scared about.
-
Improvement continues but tough game and I think they’ll have the edge this time
2-1
-
Poll added.
-
Would be pretty happy with a draw to keep the feel good factor going for when Unai arrives. Reckon we can get it, too.
-
A battling draw would be good. They are in very good form. Might be one to leave Ings out away from home and bring in McGinn into Watkins spot.

Nooooooo
Our whole team balance and movement on Sunday was improved without McGinn being in it - we actually lost a lot of fluidity when Dendonker was knackered and had to be replaced.
Same team, same formation, same subs although Nakamba / Sanson to come on instead of McGinn when Leo tires.
Huge confidence boosting win on Sunday, another week for Danks to drill them and a watching new Boss - everything we could hope for going into this
1-2 Konsa / Watkins
-
Exactly Hookey, we can and will beat these.
-
We rarely beat Brentford but Sunday laid that hoodoo to rest. We rarely beat Newcastle at their place but on Saturday we will put that hoodoo to rest.

The biggest Hoodoo is those cnuts on Sunday coming up....I see they are back to this horrible worst of surrounding officials and claiming they are hard done by....nothing would give me more pleasure than to see Ratface's face contorted in anger as our 3rd goes in - the cheating fucking prick.
-
Newcastle are very confident right now and we are generally always shit up there. Unless they are fighting amongst themselves. But I think we can sneak a point. Danks has nothing to lose and the players will be really up for it after the last game. Hoping Phil starts to believe again. I’ll say 2-2 - Ings and Bailey
-
We will win this one. Newcastle are punching baove their weight. We will bring them down a peg.
FTF
-
Guimaraes aside, the biggest change I see in Newcastle under Howe is their workrate.
Match that, and I think we have that extra bit of quality to win this. 1-2
-
I would take a draw on this game but after saturdays result i have a feeling we could win 2-1

Who's Ratface? Micky Quinn left for Cov years ago.
-
I'd guess Bruno Fernandes.
-
He's easily the biggest scumbag in the Man United side so that was my assumption.
-
I fancy us to dish out a comprehensive funeralling of the Barcodes at the Sid James. 1-3 FTF!

They're all playing for their places. Could be a good scrap. Take a draw and hope for a win.

No, he said Sunday coming up meaning next week I think.

Think we'll get a 1-1 draw to impress the watching Emery.

If he's in the away end he won't be able to see the players anyway.

A tough game but confidence will be back, I'll go for 1-1 and hope that the same starting 11 against Brentford start against the Toon.

2-0.

-
Easy 3.1 for us.
-
2-2.
-
Nah, these are flying. Narrow defeat
-
Suspect it might be one of usual reality checks against a very in-form team. Things won't improve overnight, so either way i won't be too concerned. That said, i hope we smash them
-
This is going to be very tough.
-
I’m not looking forward to this game.
I hate Newcastle and hate the way they’re buying their way to the top using money from dubious places with even more dubious human rights records.
I also think this will be a come down. I reckon 3-1 to them.
-
It is crazy how dreadful they were last year. How we lost to them at their place, dear me .oh yes we were crap as well !
and here we are now!!
-
I disagree that KSA's human rights record is dubious - there's no doubt about what it is, none at all.
-
They have some very good players but the rest are not great. The defense looks a bit ropey still and can be got at.
If we can hold out for the first 20 and take some or 1 of the chances we will get then we could get something.
-
Haven’t they got the best defensive record in the league or something?
-
Brekkie! Fry-Up worked for Brentford so fingers crossed that stuffing our faces does the trick here. Isn't that what all the Barcodes' five-bellied, half-naked fans do anyway? Or maybe it's the brown ale.
-

This for me.
-

Yep. Something you'd never ever thought you'd associated with Newcastle
-

That's before they face Ollie and Danny.

What input can Emery have, if any, I wonder? With his work visa coming through will he be allowed to attend the game on a visitor's one? Could he have meetings with Danks from Spain prior to the game?

I thought pleonasm referred to the "penis shapes air waves" alleged to be emanating from the radio in Brass Eye's Paedogeddon episode.

Yes

Anyway.
Newcastle are very tough to beat. They're in good form. I'll snatch your arm off for a point. We're gonna have to match the Brentford performance to do that so here's hoping.
-
Is Matty Targett still getting a game for them? Hope Watkins knows from training how to get the better of him.

Totally agree but if we can stop them scoring, frustrating them, the crowd will get on their backs and maybe we can snatch a win. Let's employ some first class shithousery!
-

Not much at the moment. Think he was ill a while ago, Dan Burn played at left back and has stayed there in the team ever since.

I wonder if Matty has stopped tweeting how Newcastle's dressing room is the best place in the world
-
Targett has played in 8 out of the 12 they've played, 4 of those from the subs bench.

There's no point in looking. Newcastle supporters in general and that lot in particular have always been up their own arses so much they can see their intestines. The Mag used to run interviews with opposition supporters that basically had countless variations on two questions - 1) How jealous of Newcastle are you? and 2) How much bigger and better than you are we? The time to start worrying is when twats like that like you.

I love how they've gone to the trouble of collating a load of views from a Villa forum, and they call us obsessed? I can't believe we hit a nerve just by mentioning Ant and Dec.
-
I've met a fair few Newcastle fans since that day and most just said that they'd have done the same and didn't really give two fucks about us.

Michael obviously worth two mentions.

Chris Lowe.

Chris Lowe and Dave Ball from Soft Cell went to the same school in Blackpool at the same time (although they weren't classmates, Lowe is younger). I saw Marc Almond live the other night in Cambridge and he covered the PSB song "Rent" along with a song both groups collaborated on this year. He described it as "The most influential synth duo and the most successful synth duo joining forces". Suicide and maybe Sparks in their synth/Moroder heyday might question the former opinion, but it got a hearty cheer when he proclaimed it.

Super Tommy Johnson

The Great North Run does literally come out of Newcastle and is awesome.

in my younger years when I was on various holidays with my mates, I seemed to meet a few of those Geordie lasses and they were always very friendly!!

"So, apart from ... what have the Geordies ever done for us?!"

A draw would be a bloody good result.

You would change the team from last week?
Interesting that the 10 mins Danks gave Archer last week was more than Gerrard had given him all season. Easy when your 4-0 ip i suppose, but Danks really did make every call the right one.
I keep Archer as sub and keep giving him more minutes from the bench.

He got exactly the same nine/ten minutes against Bournemouth, Forest and Fulham.

Geordies and Football are like New Zealanders and Rugby, perfectly decent people until you get them onto their 1 pet subject, and then they turn into tunnel visioned toss pots.

Archer played the first half of the U21 game on Wednesday. Bench at best.

Well there you go, shows how much i remember from those fiestas of football. Well corrected though.

I'd start the same team if everybody is fit. Official Twitter says Digne is in the squad, but I'd stick with Young.

Same. Young has been outstanding and does not deserve to be dropped unless he needs resting.

I haven't been to Newcastle in years, really looking forward to the trip and catching up with Mr Jameson, once of this parish.
-
There might be an argument for starting Ramsey for Watkins, if we need to be a little protective on that side but otherwise, same team.
-
Longest trip of the season. Two weeks ago I was dreading it, but now looking forward to the game. Same team as last week please.

Can't the Saudis put in some escalators?
-
No doubt Eddie Howe's done a very good job there, only defeat so far has been at Anfield, when Liverpool got a 98th minute winner. Having been mocked by Grealish at the end of last season, Almiron is one of the most improved players in the league, Wilson is also looking like he's getting back to his best, after yet another injury. Would be happy with a draw.

Looking forward to it
Watkins and Ings.
Own goal by a defender and Wilson for them.

Team being the operative word. No Saint Maximin so as long as Aaron’s done his homework we have a fighting chance. Interesting he said he needs to make a few tweaks in his pre match interview so he’s on the case!
-
Unfortunately Saint Maximin is probably back.

It takes longer to get up them stairs than it does to get to Newcastle.
-

I may come to regret saying this, but I've never been that convinced by him when we've played them. That said, other than half watching MoTD sometimes, I haven't seen him play that often. Is he actually any good?
-
So who has been the best signing Ollie or Wilson.?
Given we were after Wilson allegedly but let Brucie sign him
-
Hank Marvin & Bruce Welch
-

Given we were after Wilson allegedly but let Brucie sign him
This the first decent phase for Wilson since his move. Up to now he’s been underwhelming. In the same time span Ollie has had two double figure scoring seasons. Both could have done more but Ollie is ahead.
-
would have dreaded this fixture a few weeks ago
Maybe now we can make a game of it, bring it on.
-
Lots of Archer talk. I’m sure we had this before with Luke Moore
-
So we shouldn't pick him because a completely different player didn't live up to expectations twenty years ago? Bizarre.
-
Can we get Bertie T back and play him wide on the right?

Watkins - 27 goals in 84 games. Wilson - 24 goals in 52 games.

I’d say Wilson is far more clinical but Ollie works harder. Wilson seems to be injured a lot more often too.

Wilson is a better player, but he's injured way too much.

Wish I could look forward to this but we haven’t done well up there for a long time.
Players should be up for this now they know the new gaffer will be watching.

I think dropping anyone from a front three who will all be full of confidence after scoring and playing well last week would be madness and terrible man-management.

Interesting that the 10 mins Danks gave Archer last week was more than Gerrard had given him all season. Easy when your 4-0 ip i suppose, but Danks really did make every call the right one.
I keep Archer as sub and keep giving him more minutes from the bench.
Yes I would, I think now is Archers time.
I think dropping anyone from a front three who will all be full of confidence after scoring and playing well last week would be madness and terrible man-management.
I think he should retain the same starting players and give Archer 20-30 minutes at the end.
-
I cant remember the last time we put any kind of positive performance in up there.
-
The Dyer-Bowyer game.
-
We actually played probably as well as we did all season up there when we went down.
-
We rarely beat Brentford but Sunday laid that hoodoo to rest. We rarely beat Newcastle at their place but on Saturday we will put that hoodoo to rest.
The biggest Hoodoo is those cnuts on Sunday coming up....I see they are back to this horrible worst of surrounding officials and claiming they are hard done by....nothing would give me more pleasure than to see Ratface's face contorted in anger as our 3rd goes in - the cheating fucking prick.
Ha ha I can’t bear them either but even I don’t get angry 8 days before. Ha ha, yep, dreading that one as always.

Completely agree. You front three all score, so you then drop one, that would be Gerrardesque. I want Archer to do well, but game time off the bench is fine for now.
-
IMO, a bit of a free hit this match. Any positive result will be a bonus, then when Unai gets to work and seee what he can do.

Fair enough I guess, but one good game in the last 60 odd and two different coaches hasn’t quite convinced me yet that a change isn’t warranted
-
The front three all did well last week. Archer will get his chance eventually.
-
I wonder if he'll tweak it slightly a bit today? Last weeks line up was very attack minded. Should we do the same away from home?
-
There's a geordie plays 5 a side with me on a Monday. He's an insufferable prick at the best of times so I need a resounding win.
At least I can keep banging on about where their money comes from.
-
Doesn’t say anything about Villa particularly, but having only lost one all season, this is the type of game teams with pretensions of top 4 but who in reality will probably finish 6th-8th, will lose. Also the fact its been 17 years since we won up there, all point to law of averages and us sticking it to them today. Cmon the lads!
-
On the train from Peterborough to Newcastle with my son. A really nice lad and his grandad have just got off at Doncaster to be replaced by a fat Newcastle fan who reeks of BO. Great. Just the 90 minutes to go.
-
Newcastle will finish mid table at best, they are on a high at the moment but still have a lot of the players that were playing relegation football not so long ago. They will hit a flat spot.

I am sure Unai will be setting the team, officially or not
-

Danks will. Emery does not start officially until 1st November.

Nice of Jeff Stelling to talk up the Villa

My point is, he probably unofficially will
I have friends that are A level managers locally, and the amount of data they get from computer systems is mind blowing. He would be able to analyse all of our games from remote
-
Good luck to Dorset Villain an Risso etc on your long journey to Newcastle. Hope you have all remembered your passports and hope you all get to see a great Villa performance.

And Danks confirmed that Emery hasn’t been in touch. How could he expect to have an input anyway, before he’s taken a single second of training?

From above:"

I think it would be highly disrespectful of a manager that hasn’t even officially arrived at the club yet to usurp the authority and credibility of the current staff by having input in the side. One that has finally won a game, and well. And the players, most who don’t even know him would probably not take well to that either. Which is why I don’t think there is any chance of it happening. Would he have received analytics, data, film etc? for sure so he can review with his incoming staff.

I have seen the system, where even players in Faroe Islands, you can see running patterns, pace, how much they run, passes. This is available for anyone paying the license. So it's not like starting from scratch

I agree, but if they have (as rumours say) been in contact for weeks, this may not be against anyone, but with them

If its a Jimmy-Five Bellies type, does that mean he has 10 armpits, hence the BO?!

Lots of Archer talk. I’m sure we had this before with Luke Moore
and Stefan Moore, Vassell, Byfield to name a few 🤣

Vassell played for England and was a fine player.

Agreed. I loved Darius and hated when he went to those blue bastards up north.
A little bit more belief was need with Vassell, I thought. Him and Angel were a lovely partnership.
