Game On! Newcastle v Everton

Game On at a floodlit SJP
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!

  1. Let’s not forget this is the ref who saw nowt wring with Nigel de Jong smashing Ben Arfa’s leg in three!

  2. Has Debuchy got a Bejeweled skull on the back of his phone I just seen there? 😆

    Reckon Cabaye has been taking him round Eldon Square for that like!

  3. I’d like to see us give Jozy Altidore a try. He’s a homeboy of mine (NY) and he’s only 23-24 and really playing well in Holland–among the top scorers.

    Where’s Axel? Axel, have you seen him play lately? He seems to really have improved. He used to be a big strong, physical beast, but what I’ve seen of him lately has shown much more skill. Mind you, I’ve only really seen highlights on youtube, but that never stopped us before!
