Newcastle kick-off 2013 with a home game against Everton this evening as Alan Pardew and David Moyes go toe-to-toe once more.

Recent matches between the two sides have been soured due to comments made by Alan Pardew, comments which weren’t exactly well received on the blue half of Merseyside.

However this time around it would appear that the wounds have started to heal as neither manager have brought it up in the pre-match build up. Instead the run up to the match has been dominated with transfer gossip and whilst it looks like Demba Ba will be away and Mathieu Debuchy should be arriving at Newcastle, Moyes has already had to concede that he has little cash to spend and is looking for loan deals only. Hardly the most satisfying news to hear when you are chasing European football. We know how it feels…

Onto matters tonight and three points are at stake once more, three points that both sides need for their own reasons. Everton will want to keep the pressure on the top four by gaining all three points whilst Newcastle want the three points to ensure they can start to make a bit of a gap between themselves and those at the bottom of the table.

The match preview is online already and can be viewed by clicking here. It features injury news for both sides plus some stats and facts and a look at the history of meetings between the two sides. One thing it doesn’t cover is the news about Demba Ba and his permission to speak to Chelsea meaning that he won’t be involved this evening.

The game itself is on Sky which is fine for me as I’m not at the game tonight and have Sky, but for those who don’t have Sky then a stream will be needed. Once again normal rules apply and if you find a good one please share it by leaving a link to it in the ‘comments’ section below.

Which just about wraps it up. Will United come unstuck against the Toffees? Or will it be the Magpies flying away with three points this evening. We’ll soon find out…

Howay the lads!

  4. Toonsy ,ah right must of missed that when I was seeing to the lad. 🙄

  5. Well we are looking reasonably good from midfield onwards, but defence lacking concentration, particularly at full back and I set pieces look shaky.

  10. No way this will stay 1.0 ,we really need a 2nd and Oba should of stayed down there then, too sporting. 🙄

  23. My they go down like they been shot thisw lot 👿
    Everton have scored more goals via headers than any other team this season and Toon have conceded more headed goals than any other team 🙄 🙄

  25. Good job Timmy is on his game today 🙄

    Howay lads, keep them out. We have more goals in us, but they look dangerous too.

  28. We really need another goal ,this lot will come out much tougher 2nd half after Moyes has had a word or 2.

  34. Jonas is past it. When does his contract expire? I’d be happy to see him go now. Been a good lad, but time to move on with Bigi coming through now…

  38. Dave @ 106 – I’m going to start calling Tiote “Telegraph” as you can read his passes before he makes them 😆

  42. Think we need to go 4-4-2 as soon as in the 2nd half. We look good, but I’m not liking a striker on a yellow against Baines/Pienaar for 45 mins 😕 . Red card waiting to happen imo

  43. Considering we have Cisse and Perch on the right hand side, Baines hasn’t got much change out of that side. Our left side looks strong going forward..

  58. Can’t argue about the freekick. It was class. But I can argue about the award of it. What a soft decision by Atkinson the fricking ******. Hate that bloke with a passion

  61. Our early fire has turned into a smoulder , Once again good in attack ,hopeless in defence and please can we stop giving away free kicks. 👿 we can’t defend them.

  63. Toonsy to be fair if one of our team scored that FK we would have all been saying how brill it was.
    But overall im pleased with the way we are playing, a lot more fight and passion which I love to see

  66. Atkinson has had a grudge against us for years. Don’t know why. Perhaps some Geordie lad cuckolded him 🙄

      (Quote)

  67. That just typifies our luck though. They have barely been in behind our defence and we have defended set pieces so well. What happens? They score a worldy. 🙄

  68. This is the third game in a row against a good side where we have more than matched them.

    Anita and Marveaux are CLASS. We need to keep these two in the starting line-up.

    Obertan has matured a bit and is really turning into a useful player.

  74. THE KID:

    Everton have had two “near goals” against you. Possession wise; they’re dominating. More shots and more shots on target.
