Howmanheyman 26872 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well a victory here and a draw between Man U and Spurs could see us at sixth tomorrow but regardless of other teams I expect another close game with these if we're on our game, (We can be doing without a 'Swansea' performance). Being at home on New Years day is an advantage so I really hope we're at it from the off. Reckon Pardew will change things a bit and maybe rest one at least before making his usual wholesale cup changes next Saturday against Cardiff. Can see Sissoko being rested and can see Shola starting alongside Remy and possibly putting Ben Arfa on from the start. Might have to settle for a point as these away wins are bound to dry up a bit. Lets hope not yet though, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 We can take West Brom if we take it seriously - do they even have a new manager yet? Â Even being away we should take it fairly comfortably. Anichebe is doubtful and there's a remote possibility that Anelka could have been banned by then..! Although I guess that would have happened today if it was going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 3 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 That bastard Lawro has us down for a two nowt defeat. Hope we prove that fucker wrong! He is the cunt's cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5924 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The pre-amble to his prediction says something along the lines of  'Newcastle are having a great season, West Brom are dropping like a stone. So I'm going 2-0 West Brom'  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If Anita is out can we not work HBA in somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5924 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Strange one that. Was a straight choice between HBA or no HBA. Fair play if it comes off but if it doesn't then Pardew has fucked this one up. With out next game likely to be a loss we need max points today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With out next game likely to be a loss we need max points today  If we win today there's a very real chance we could be 9 points clear of Southampton in 9th place. Which is kinda bizarre. I'm not used to being this comfortable in decent positions. Equally if we lose, we're going to be adrift in 8th place for the coming few weeks.

Slayer 3 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yes very strange not to put in HBA. Surely he has shown that he does track back now? But then again we are away from home and they have Anelka and Sess. It may be a good tactic. Let's see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Have Shola bruise them up a bit for an hour, then unleash the flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I guess this is the sort of line up we'd see if we still had Demba or another decent target man. The idea of gouff and loic on the wings should be good but it's Shola For it to work he needs to have one of his stellar games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Tough game this one, don't understand why HBA isn't playing. This game is made for him. Edited January 1, 2014 by Ausman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'd like to see him go from the start again soon but I guess Pardew has earned some faith in his judgements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5924 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I suppose we are set up to try and exploit WBAs formation. Like I say, Pardew has earned enough leeway this season to be given the benefit of the doubt. We will see if he still has it in 90mins though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
