Is their manager still a red faced fat makem who talks sort of posh and dies his hair blond

 

Actually NO, he's a red faced fat Geordie who talks sort of posh and dies his hair blond.

Steven Taylor is out with a training ground injury according to .co.uk, so at least the back 4 should be unchanged (I feared that Pards would throw him back in this weekend).

 

only a fool would change our back 4 on merit at present.

 

oh, wait.

If Newcastle United beat Hull City on Saturday they will move to ten points from five games and that would represent their best start to a Premier League season in thirteen years. Quite incredible when you consider the doom and gloom that has hovered around Gallowgate for the past year or so.

Well if we don't win this weekend we certainly won't win away to Everton next week.

 

We're perfectly capable of doing just that to be honest. Anyway football really doesnt work like that anymore, the league is more competitive then ever.

It's a pretty easy start, man city aside.

 

Sunderland had an easy start & so have plenty other teams. I wouldn't say Aston Villa away is easy & teams like Fulham & West Ham set up to make it hard for the home team. 10 men behind the ball etc.

 

With the resources available I'd say we've made a good start - including the League Cup game btw - if we win on Saturday which wont be easy - we'll have made a fantastic start. No doubt about it.

I don't see us losing. As we've said before, we're a confidence team. A solid win against Fulham, a good away performance against Villa. HBA is flying, Cabaye is settling, the defence is looking solid and so on and so forth.

 

...hate being optimistic.

We've just got to hope injuries and fate interrupt every single aspect of Pardew's game plan or we'll lose 0-64 with Tiote in goal and Steven Taylor up front whilst Remy & Ben Arfa clean Jonas' boots. :pray:

Head-to-head

  • Newcastle and Hull have only met twice in the Premier League. They drew 1-1 at Hull in March 2009, while Hull won 2-1 at Newcastle in September 2008.
  • The highest-scoring match between the two clubs was in their first-ever league meeting, on Christmas Day in 1934, when Newcastle won 6-2 in the old Division Two.

Newcastle United

  • Newcastle haven't won three Premier League games in succession since a spell of six on the spin in March-April 2012.
  • The Magpies have kept clean sheets in their last two Premier League home games, but have also scored just one goal in their last five Premier League games at St James' Park.
  • Hatem Ben Arfa has registered more attempts from open play than any other Premier League player this season (13).
  • Cheik Tiote has picked up only one yellow card in his last nine Premier League appearances after collecting 31 yellows and one red in his previous 67 appearances.
  • The Ameobi brothers (Shola and Sammy) are yet to record a shot on target this season in 206 minutes of play.

Hull City

  • Hull have won only one of their last 11 games in the Premier League, drawing four and losing six.
  • The Tigers' last five Premier League fixtures have produced just seven goals.
  • Danny Graham has now gone 20 Premier League appearances without scoring, with his last top-flight goal coming on 1 January 2013.
