Stoke City vs Newcastle United match banter!

Newcastle United v Stoke City.

It’s blood and guts time again.

Venue: St James’ Park, Newcastle.
Date: Sat 10th March, 2013.
Kick off: 3.00pm.
Referee: Andre Marriner (W.Mids).
UK TV: None.

Hello, good afternoon and welcome to our “match banter” feature for this afternoon’s game between the Magpies and Stoke City from St James’ Park.

Although Stoke are four places above us in the table, their recent Premiership form has been pretty awful to be frank. In their last eight Premiership games, they have lost six and drawn one, winning a solitary game against bottom feeders Reading. To put it sequentially their Premier League record (most recent first) has been L|L|W|L|D|L|L|L. Of course our form was similar until recently, however the record for our last eight games makes slightly better reading now as it is L|W|L|W|W|L|D|L. Whilst that is hardly spectacular, it is an improvement. This slight upsurge in forms means that although we are still 15th, a convincing win by two goals or more would see us rising as high as eleventh (where Stoke are now), although one of the teams we would overtake, West Ham, would still have a game in hand. Even so, it would be great if the lads could pull it off. Here’s hoping!

Anyway, on that optimistic note I will move on to my usual reminders that I shall be updating this post with the official team sheets for the game when they become available, as well as posting links where you can watch the game online. Finally, I will also be posting match highlights, post match interviews and a video of the whole game when it’s all over.

Howay the Lads!

    You should have let me known SJT. Fortnum’s for lunch used to be my treat when the parents came down. My dad was in the war so I took him to the Imperial War Museum and the Cabinet War Rooms. My mum used to do all the antique markets.

    “I was busy so had to miss most of the game until this end part. Luckily it sounded like it was a rubbish apart from these goals.”

    The first half and the first bit of the second was rubbish Phisix. Things got a bit more eventful after their penalty, but that was 67 minutes into the game.

    Phisix, I will be expecting your attendance from 7pm sharp next time!

    Hopefully now people will stop using the threat of relegation as a reason not to go full out to try and win the Europa.

    We are level on points for 10th place, we have a decent run in of games, we are grinding out results and we have a decent squad.

    No reason we can’t finish 10th-12th in the league and go for it in Europe too.

    “There should be a general order to rugby tackle that mad div if he ever gets anywhere near our penalty area.”

    yes darth what is up with the man this season he has gone from supperman to fkn liability in one season, he seriously needs to calm down and start dominating play as we know he can instead of lunging in like a radgie all the time.

  64. 64
    avatar Phisix says:

    Of course. I do lurk behind the shadows here on non match days too. Saving my talkative energy for match days. :D

    We should all but be safe now with the team we have, so we should go all out and focus on the Europa more. Our first chance to get a trophy in god knows how many years.

    “Darth, never mind Ashley with his millions on the spin of a Roulette wheel, we know who the real high rollers are! ;-)

    I’ve got this sportingbet.com account that I’ve had for years, worky (used to be sportingodds.com) specifically for having the odd punt on games where I couldn’t give a stuff who wins – just to spice it up, like. I’d have won a massive fourteen pounds (sterling) if that’d come off.

    That’s the extent of my gambling. I divvn’t bother with the nags because I know nowt about them – other than the fact they taste very similar to beef :)

    “what is up with the man this season he has gone from supperman to fkn liability in one season”.

    He can be a bit of a liability at times, sammy, that’s for sure. Even if we could keep him out of the box, I can’t think of anyone more likely to get a straight red – not since Joey left, anyway.
