Newcastle United v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

Yeah, Angel got 23 or something in all competitions and 17 in the league, I think.

I believe Darren Bent will be the next to do it for us and is at least capable of it.
Who knows, it could be this season.

didn't Yorkie get 20 league goals one season??

I'm just in from the pub and just had a great chat with a Spurs fan I never met before. He was about 58 or so and we had such a great chat. He really admires the villa. He said we have a beautiful name, a great tradition and have something nobody can ever take away from us, our European Cup. He fears Spurs could be in danger of falling back over the next few seasons and agreed with me that the PL era has been bad for great clubs like Villa.

I don't know why I am sharing this, but you know how it is after a few pints!

UTV!

Despite the Venom all thing spurs gets on here, they have a lot of very decent supporters, no where near as arogant as the ARse

Yorke got about 17 in the league the rest were in the cups.

Based on form and defensive fraility, it could well be 0 points from the next 2 matches, then it is Wigan & Blackburn & Fulham & Bolton. Those four games will really show whether anyone at the club cares about us or not.

Care to explain that last comment? - are your referring to the players' commitment or something more subtle? And who is the "us"?

Will the game go ahead? It's looking pretty grim here in Stirchley.

They are saying the snow will clear up there tonight, it will go ahead

NothIng new there then

I think Newcastle has dodged a lot of ths worst of the bad weather so it'll be bear guts on show as per usual I guess.

Still have a feeling we'll win - be a great weekend if we do what with you'd Baggies losing.

6-0 Newcastle with a Carroll hatrick. Oh hang on. Geordies 3-1. Would take a point but not confident.

is Gabby fit or what?

I hope to see a change at LB or RB tomorrow. Not because I wish bad on Hutton or Warnock, but because I feel its time for McLeish to finally put his foot down and show to the team that it needs to be better. Given the amount of players in the squad who seem to commit reckless tackles regularly, I hope with the snow tomorrow we can keep all 11 on the pitch.

I feel a lot of drama coming from this one, but I think we'll nick it.

[Dave Cooper please]

is Gabby fit or what?

He's not my type but each to their own.

[VancouverLion]

Think Bent will score, that's about it.
On at 4.30 am here, hoping to stay up, better be bloody worth it!!!!!

[Jimmy Smash]

I think we'll be lucky to get a win, not that our current form is bad, just that theirs is good.

[damon loves JT]

My prediction: Mark Lawrenson to be found with his wrists bound behind his back with coathanger wire, drowned in a bucket of runny pigshit

I think some of Wednesday's frustration will roll over into this game - they've been resting on their laurels for a few weeks, we'll take them apart limb by limb. Keano will cause an avalanche at the Gallowgate as he does his third somersault of the afternoon - 5-1 Villa.
