Newcastle United v Aston Villa Pre Match thread

[robbo1874]

I hadn't thought things were going that badly for them. I don't really follow their results or pay any attention to them, but I did read that Roy kinnear had fucked of recently, so just assumed pardew had stood his ground and won that battle (and rightly so, I don't mind him as it goes).

Still think we're the white knight in shining armour that comes galloping in to the rescue when other clubs desperately need points. However, our reasonable away form will see us return safely with a few dents to the shield and a wonky helmet, but tightly clutching a point. 3 would be a bonus. None would fucking suck.

Toon 1 Villa 4

Mirhandinho for them. Rideout x 2, Evans and Kerr for us.

Newcastle are on a bad run, they need a home win. I'm sure we'll oblige.

2-1 Villa, lock up your horses

[Dave Clark Five]

1-2. Guzan to score from a corner, as we push to clinch it with Geordies down to 9 men. Our other goal will be a shot from Bennett, deflected by the referee into the net.

Roy Kinnear passed away 26 years ago, from injuries sustained falling from a galloping horse, whilst filming a Musketeers movie.

Still better than Joe Kinnear though.

Derek McGovern article in the Mirror today:

''Rumours suggest Newcastle could be taken over by a wrestling billionaire - meaning they could know before kick off that they will lose.
No change there , then.
Vince McMahon, owner of the WWE, is reportedly ready to buy out Mike Ashley in a bid to get a stranglehold on an untapped British market,
even though strangleholds are frowned upon. McMahon will become the second wrestling figure to make his mark in Premier League football
- the first being Martin Skrtel at corners.
It's not a pleasant thought, really who wants to see Cheick Tiote foull an opponent with a steel stepladder?
McMahon said the first thing he'd do is turn the Amoebi brothers into tag team champions. The second would be to buy back Joey Barton.
Newcastle fans would probably not mind McMahon taking over. Under Ashley, looking for optimism on Tyneside is like looking for a needle in a
giant haystacks. The Toon are 4-1 with Paddy Power to start selling foam fingers- they're worth more than the players and it's 20-1 for a WWE PPV event to be staged at St James Park!!!!

Such a weird bunch, you get the feeling they'd be much happier being 16th with Keegan as manager.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm not about this weekend so won't see this, hopefully that brings us good luck. We really need a win.

[supertom]

I can imagine this one being about as attractive to watch as Susan Boyle doing a 90 minute striptease while being hosed down by Ann Widdicombe. With that in mind I'm almost glad I'll be otherwise engaged cleaning out a house.
However if I get wind that Vince McMahon has turned up, and instead of the ref blowing the whistle to start the match, someone grabs a mic and shouts "Let's get ready to rumble!!!" I may have to take a break from gutting a garage and slap the game on.

He's packed some puns in there has Derek, and no mistake.

He' right about wrestling n the penalty area, though.

[eamonn]

Barry saved Souness from the chop by skying a peanlty in the last minute up there too.

Chop suey? When were that, then?

it was deliberate. Joe's short time at St. James's was almost as funny as Roy's entire career. Especially his pre- entry media interview.

The horse was probably better than Joe Kinnear.
