No time to make crap puns - Bolton v Newcastle, 26 Dec

[Armchair Wanderer]

I've made Ba my FF captain this week, as such I'd be very surprised if he got a goal or an assist, might not even play

[TKIZ!]

This is going to sound a bit cheeky but is anyone going to the game on Monday and going through New MIlls or Stockport? No trains you see and a trip to the Bok on buses would be at best about 3 hours. Two spaces would be fantastic

Will pay towards petrol

[Verbal]

I can see it being "Ba Humbug" to be honest. Do I win pun of the day?

No time for puns!!

I missed that 4-3 because I thought it was a 3pm k.o.

Pottering around my mums in the morning. Eating bacon butties and generally strolling around like I owned the place I turned up at the pub about one-ish to find it deserted and the match in full swing.

Silly me.

Ha ha. Me too. Heard the crowd noise in the ground and got in at half time when, I think, we were 3-1 up. Nervy second half. Things don't change much, do they.

Unfortunately not, away for Christmas. And not going to Wolves game either. Sorry.

Are there no match specials from Piccadilly?

I have one worry about this game and that is Robbo coming back in the team to replace the injured Alonso who was outstanding until he got that injury tuesday night. We all know Robbo and Petrov doesn't work on our left and newcastle like all the other premiership sides we have played so far will target Robbo because he is our weakest link, so i'm not that optimistic for a positive result mon. But could Ricketts come in for his 1st start this season?

you'd think coyle would of sat him down and explained why he should stay in position by now

[lovethesmellofnapalm]

They have MUCH better players than us in practically every position.Central midfield with Cabaye and Tiote particularly worries me. I'd like to get three in there. Full back less of a problem position for us in this game. As an aside does OC watch other teams at all? you always see Moyes Redknapp et al at the games involving teams they are due against.
Nevertheless
3-2 Bolton.... somehow.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

They're also running out of steam and have Liverpool and the champions to face later this week.

No excuses, there's a war on. Three points, or one at worst if we think we can claw back some unexpected points in next month's horror schedule.

It's possible he goes but just doesn't get picked up by the Sky cameras.

If we are going to get a draw (and with it whatever number of points that brings, I can't remember) would be nice to score last, prefereably late on, keep the feeling of momentum. Or we could just win.

You mean... Go behind... And not lose? <faints>

It's a bold concept, I know.

You think so? Newcastle have 2 very good wingers in Obertan and Gutierrez, i can see them changing wings during the match to give Robbo a battering because of there pace and skill. I think we will be fine in central midfield Cabaye is a very good player but Tiote is well over rated so i'm sure Reo Coker, M. Davies and Muamba will cope well with them.

[Prufrock]

Two very good wingers? Obertan and Gutierrez? Wow.

Why do you not think so?

Where have our 3 midfielders to combat their 2 come from?

If you think Davies is coming into the middle while you reckon they have two good wingers, its back to FM2007 for you

Why do you not think so?

Obertan has a weird alien-shaped head. And is shit. Gutierrez runs around aimlessly a lot, and is shit.

I think Gutierrez is their Eagles, has good games and then 7 bad games. He's not blessed with huge amounts of pace but then neither is CYL
