Newcastle United v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Greg N'Ash]

Can't see us keeping a clean sheet and they're a bit of a different proposition to qpr. be happy with a draw but realistically 2-1

[Salsa Party Animal]

Cisse ? I thought he move to QPR

With the absence of Cabeye I can see us comfortably controlling the center of the park. 3-1 the Villa

When was the last time we comfortably controlled any midfield?

[Ozzjim]

We did on Wednesday night. Keane dropping back in allows that control.

Love it, but Zog's gonna have to go some to volley the winner from there!

Another draw

[Lobsterboy]

Newcastle have been priced up at about even money to beat us and I think that's the  most likely outcome

Them 2 Us 1

Bent continue his hot streak before two goals from set pieces ruin our weekend!

[Pete3206]

3-1 defeat

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

We'll sneak it 1 - 0!

[Redsamurai]

2-1 to us with a 94th min pen

[eamonn]

To think we're apparently light years away from ever challenging for a Champions League place ever again when this shower are a couple of points off 4th at the moment.

Outside of the top 3 we really should be a match for anyone. A bit of organisation, players working their bollocks off for the manager and shrewd moves in the transfer market is all it takes. Hmm...maybe that combination at the same time is too much to ask after all.

Typically, we'll win up there having fucked-up the piss-easy game of the week.

Luckily its usually windy up there so that should help.

[The Left Side]

2-0 to them, got a bad feeling about this one!
