What’s that? Still looking forward to games in early May? A rare treat for United fans!
You see while all the talk will be on Manchester City and whether or not they put one hand on the title by beating us at St James’ Park, the fact remains that we have our own agenda to look after. A win today will see us jump into fourth place at the very least thanks to Arsenal and Norwich drawing 3-3 yesterday, in fact a win could even see us jump into third place depending on how Tottenham get on against struggling Aston Villa. It’s madness really!
It’s going to be tough though. Manchester City have the players to hurt anyone when they are on form so we will have to be wary of them. However that works the other way also as Roberto Mancini will have to task his players to keep an eye on one or two of our own crown jewels if he wants to take three points away from St James’ Park.
I just hope that Nigel de Jong isn’t tasked with looking after our players. Again!
For more background on the match, news of any injury problems, form guides and some fun facts you can peruse my match preview by clicking the blue text at your leisure.
The game is being broadcast live on Sky Sports 1 and via a whole host of overseas broadcasters so streams shouldn’t be too hard to come by. Having said that, if you manage to find a particularly decent one and wish to share it with your fellow NUFC fans then you can do so by leaving a link to it in the ‘comments’ section below.
That just about wraps things up for this. It’s our final home game of the season and I’m sure the players will want to send the full house home happy having secured three points and setting up a rather tense and interesting final day clash with Everton. However to do that we simply must win today.
Howay the lads!
Newcastle: Krul; Perch, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon; Tiote, Gutierrez; Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Ba; Cisse
Subs: Elliot, Ferguson, R Taylor, Gosling, Marveaux, Obertan, Shola Ameobi
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kompany (c), Lescott, Barry, Yaya, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Tevez
Subs: Pantilimon, Richards, Kolarov, De Jong, Milner, Balotelli, Dzeko
Perch starting. I would say that’s our strongest 11 this season
Moreno(Quote)
Yaya, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Tevez 😕
Utterly ridiculous, hope they don’t win the title and we are the cause!!! Great to see Enrique play so well yesterday too 😆
Moreno(Quote)
3rd here we come !
stevep(Quote)
Moreno I would prefer to have Simmo and Saylor in there, but I still think we can get something from today 😉 but as long as we give 100 % i’ll be happy
Big Dave(Quote)
pity de jong not playing sure tiote would have liked to shake his hand 🙂
icedog(Quote)
What do you think the formation will be? More of a 442 again? I think we’d cause more problems upfront that way against City. Two really good attacking teams today. Put a bet on 4-3 Barfa to score at some point. If it is – I’m going to need some sort of holiday to calm down.HWTL!

Can’t wait ,lets get it on and do these title owning wannabes 😆
kimtoon(Quote)
Oh hurry up the nerves are getting to me especially now that all the pundits are praising us and saying that we’ll be a hard game
Big Dave(Quote)
****, their attacking line-up is scary 😯
…mind yee, so is ours!!!!
COME AARRRRRRNNNN!!!!!! 😯 😎
Really want a win here, but would probably take a draw. got a gut feeling with 2-2.
…in fact bollocks to the draw. Anything short of a win is a fail.
Come on Villa!!
(and us)

Good shout on Taylor Dave, forgot about him!
Not a Simmo fan at all though
Moreno(Quote)
Beer in hand, online stream found, fookin come on!!
richietoon(Quote)
Would still prefer 4-3-3 for reasons I mentioned yesterday…still HWTL and in Pards we trust.
Well, at least until something goes wrong and its all his fault… 😆
Newkie(Quote)
The key here could be midfield ,we need Tiote to let Toure know who the boss is in the first couple of minutes then give Ben Arfa the ball as much as possible . Hatem has a score too settle with Citeh . Our forwards are a match for theirs .
Axel(Quote)
I haven’t been this nervous in god knows how long. Hope the lads fight n put on a good show. Howay the lads.
Joe(Quote)
As long as we don’t play like we did at Wigan we should be OK.

TOON TOON!

Perch just rinsed Tevez there, three times 😆
toonsy(Quote)
wake up Cheick!
M(Quote)
both teams seem a bit nervy
Big Dave(Quote)
Benny’s over playing it…
aussie magpie fan(Quote)
Pards looks like a mafia don on the side line 😆 all suited and booted with his silver mane. 😉
kimtoon(Quote)
Richie @ 28 do you expect others to find good links ❓ ❓ would you not be better finding the good ones then posting them 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
Dave…I did, with the first one, keep up man 😉
richietoon(Quote)
**** me my hands are shaking and it’s nowt to do with the drink 😯
richietoon(Quote)
Done well on them corners but they are threatening alright.
kimtoon(Quote)
Richie @ 40 yeah im a bit more nervy than usual, I think once we settle and start passing a bit better i’ll feel better.
We have been getting the tackles in well
Big Dave(Quote)
Kompany is a beast
M(Quote)
Dave…I’m usually only like this for derby games 😕
richietoon(Quote)
Nice one colo
kimtoon(Quote)
Need to get hold of the ball more ,can’t get it off em long enough to get the break on.
kimtoon(Quote)
Jonas has started very poorly
M(Quote)
Tiotes passing is well off 😕
Big Dave(Quote)
M I didn’t think he has had much to work with so far 😯
Big Dave(Quote)
well held krul
Big Dave(Quote)
Krul not letting us down as usual 😀
kimtoon(Quote)
dave @ 48 always seems to need 20 minutes before his passing works 😕 you’d think a longer warm up would do the trick
Dubtoon(Quote)
howay man lads!
M(Quote)
there are making inroads on the right…barfa need to work harder and perch need to stop ball watchin! ba looks very shaky so far, otherwise started well and all working hard
buddy(Quote)
Jonas and HBS are not supporting the BA’s.
TonyGreenSupreme(Quote)
*HBA 😳
TonyGreenSupreme(Quote)
**** me Krul
richietoon(Quote)
😯 ohhh krul
Big Dave(Quote)
Well done willo ,we look a bit shakey here lads
kimtoon(Quote)
nervy and ****, hope we snap out of it before they score
M(Quote)
Front two need to work on their abilities to hold the ball. Simple passes come to them and they keep losing it
Michael12(Quote)
We have to remember who we are playing here ,it’s only natural the lads will be nervy what with the chance of 4/3 place up for grabs and all. If we can get to half time level Pards can tinker then if needs be .Keep the faith lads.
well done there Tim
kimtoon(Quote)
that was a bit of a weak yellow
Big Dave(Quote)
Micheal ,we ain’t getting enough time on the ball because the second Ba or Cisse get passed it Citeh are on them with 2 or 3 men really quickly .It’s hard to get control and set yourself up for a pass /shot when your crowded out .
kimtoon(Quote)
We need to change to 4-3-3.
TonyGreenSupreme(Quote)
well done Benny
richietoon(Quote)
good try Ba
Big Dave(Quote)
Come on Lads
Big Dave(Quote)
