Park Life 70 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Beeb "Newcastle mark their return to the top-flight with a daunting trip to Old Trafford, where they will be hoping for a first win over Manchester United since September 2001. You're always wary of a team that's just been promoted because their motivation is obvious. Newcastle - what were they last season? I think they were a team of great work ethic and the manager takes terrific credit Sir Alex Ferguson That season began with Sir Alex Ferguson announcing his intention to retire from football management at the end of the campaign, and ended with Newcastle in fourth spot, one place behind the Manchester club. Fast-forward nine years and while Newcastle have been in steady decline, Ferguson is still at Old Trafford, his appetite for trophies unabated. Last season's final-day title disappointment will have only strengthened the Red Devils' hunger for silverware, and with no significant player exits and the addition of exciting striker Javier Hernandez in attack, United look well-placed to mount another serious title bid. Newcastle's reaction to Premier League relegation in May 2009 could not have been better. Chris Hughton's side won the Championship with ease, and with the likes of Jose Enrique, Jonas Gutierrez and the experienced Kevin Nolan, they look well-equipped to avoid an immediate return to the second tier. Newcastle's last Premier League campaign also started against Manchester United, a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. While the Magpies would take a repeat result on Monday, they will be praying the rest of the season plays out differently. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Both dreading it and very excited at the same time. Dreading it because the scoreline will more than likely embarrass us. Excited because we've not played a competitive game in a while and I've missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
