Newcastle United v Aston Villa Match Thread.

But Unai does know more about football than me.

Unai knows more about football than everyone, even the football Gods.

Another chance for Sancho. I'd love to be wrong but just can't see it I'm afraid. Subbed off after 60 mins.

Whisper it quietly but this Newcastle side doesn’t look that strong to me!

Looks stronger than Everton last week! Feels like a crucial game in our season after the injuries and everything else.

If we ended this week in the top 2 of the Europa and with a double digit buffer between us and 6th that would be an incredible performance by the lads.

I think this is probably part of the overall plan and Bailey will get a few minutes as his replacement.

This doesn’t bode well, a very shaky start to a match thread. Hope this is our bad half.

Elon Musk starting the match thread too. Pfff.

Has our game been called off?  On the advertised sky site all they are talking about is Chelsea   ffs

I'm sure they will cut away later during the match to show players arriving for the Arsenal game.

10000% guaranteed

How dare they use the undercard to promote the main event.

Yep but we would have beaten that Everton side 9 times out of 10.

I’m surprised this Newcastle side doesn’t look v intimidating.

I suppose they have had two extra days rest than us but we have fresh centre halves and a renewed bench!

They cut away to show some shit with Idris Elba and Ebereche Eze.  Embarrasing shite.

[JUAN PABLO]

just put TV on to sky and straight to the emirates talking about Idris Elba so change channel .

[Steve67]

Come on you Villa boys!!!

[JUAN PABLO]

like someone said  earlier no freaky injury early or first half red card and we are right in this.
