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!
Newcastle: Tim Krul; James Perch, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini, Davide Santon; Vurnon Anita, Cheik Tiote; Gabriel Obertan, Papiss Cisse, Sylvain Marveaux; Shola Ameobi

FSOTC well not official but he is at the game with Cabaye so I would say he’s ours
Big Dave(Quote)
At the game? Okay, doubts are somewhat assuaged there…
Is Perchy doing okay at RB?
Any more rumors on strikers? I guess we’ll need a few…
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
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!
toonsy(Quote)
Is Loverman available? Leon Best? OBAFEMI MARTINS ANYONE!?
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
Martins 😆
Did you know that Martins is rootin Balotelli’s sister?
toonsy(Quote)
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!

That was a corner surely? ffs

Dave@146 ,Bound to be I reckon.
KIMTOON(Quote)
Toonsy, please tell me that’s not a joke… that would be effing hilarious.
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
FSOTC – Straight up. It mean Balotelli will be the uncle of Martins’ kids 😯
toonsy(Quote)

Munich Mag(Quote)
Newkie ,We’ll get very little from this ref he’s a **** mate.
KIMTOON(Quote)
Howard all over Cisse’s back, so naturally its a foul on the keeper 😉
Newkie(Quote)
Willo 🙄
Big Dave(Quote)
Kim, you can say that again.
Willo fcked that one up though.
Newkie(Quote)
Club vs. Country: Newcaslte’s my club. Timmeh(!) Howard’s my country. Come on Papiss–EMBARRASS THAT BALD *******!
Before you accuse me of anti-bald bias, I myself am shiny of pate.

Ba-ha-ha! Obafemi Ballotelli!

jelly is a cheating *****
Big Dave(Quote)
My dutch commentator had a right good laugh at that corner 😀
Newkie(Quote)
Thinking we might need a plan b here ,they are seeing far too much of the ball for me like.
KIMTOON(Quote)
Marveaux’s looking better and better. If we could just get a little more maturity and defensive work from him…
**** me, Shola!
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
Anita and Marv have been linking up
Oh how did we not score there
Big Dave(Quote)
Anita and Marv beating about 8 players between them, good stuff, shame we couldn’t finish it.
Newkie(Quote)
NO feckin luck what so ever ,should of scored that 👿
KIMTOON(Quote)
Unlucky Shola
toonsy(Quote)
Shola’s a beast. Could he play as a DM?
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
Bollocks 🙁

Goddamnit.
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
Fuking hell 😈 😈 the defence is 😳
Big Dave(Quote)
FFS ,can’t defend to save our lives ,just a joke really is.
KIMTOON(Quote)
Yup, they had this the moment the ref handed it to them.
Newkie(Quote)
Don’t let your heads drop, boys, there are goals for us here. Come on.
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
Before the goal was gonna say how good Marv and Anita are looking ,bet they are right fed up with the defence though. 😳
KIMTOON(Quote)
We could get a nailed on pen and that P@&$ won’t give it. 👿
KIMTOON(Quote)
Time for Strolla to get subbed. Looks like his tank is empty.
Shamrock(Quote)
Well Collo made to look a **** there. Shocking goal, Santon prancing around too in the middle ffs, the ball could only go one place 👿 👿 👿 . That goal came from nothing really. Pardew must be pulling his hair out at that defending
Cisse is completely anonymous.
Lots of hufing and puffing from us… nothing breaking up front, and they’ll destroy us on the break..
Munich Mag(Quote)
Why oh why do our centre backs get pulled into wide areas. defend the penalty box
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
Well done Obertan. Good effort.
toonsy(Quote)
Nice try Oba
KIMTOON(Quote)
What happened to Amalfitano? Is he injured?
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
Wish I’d been wrong about needing a new center half more than a new center forward. 🙄
Wellington(Quote)
WAit, why is Oba off? Is Bigi such an attacking threat? Or do we need more cement in the middle?
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
Both Willo and Santon ball watching, forgetting the Everyon players would be making a run. ***** defending.
Shamrock(Quote)
Obertan off? Really? For bigi? Wtf.
Newkie(Quote)
Obertan off ? 😕 😕
Munich Mag(Quote)
Thank god for Cisse’s goal at least it keeps us in the game ,no other ****** is scoreing.
KIMTOON(Quote)
How unlucky Cisse 😯
toonsy(Quote)
WOW SO CLOSE
KIMTOON(Quote)
ffs how long can Everton expect advantage fore that; THEY HAD A shot at goal ffs ? Shocking refereeing.
Munich Mag(Quote)
oh Cisse
Big Dave(Quote)
****! That’s a goal if Heitinga doesn’t blunder into its path.
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
ffs
Newkie(Quote)
Tiote’s been booked, surely Sammy, Nile, Fergie, or Abeid will be on for him soon.
Right, Pardew?
We are going to try to score another goal, aren’t we?
🙁
Wellington(Quote)
Lets have Fergie whippingbthem in from the left.
Shamrock(Quote)
Sorry like, play football or run at Collo and he’s really poor.
They are quickest to EVERY ball, get close to them ffs…
Munich Mag(Quote)
Here’s a novel idea why don’t we sign upa top notch defensive coach . 😉
KIMTOON(Quote)
Tiote 😯
Big Dave(Quote)
Kim – Like a Mark Lawrenson type? 😆
toonsy(Quote)
That Anichebe is a big ******.
Shamrock(Quote)
Get 10 quid on Tiote seeing red, it’s an absolute banker. 🙁
Munich Mag(Quote)
Shola’s heaving accusatory glances at Papiss…
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
When are Cabs and Benny back ?
KIMTOON(Quote)
Can’t understand Bigi coming on. Santon standing around twiddling his bloody thumbs for that goal
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
We are looking flat now…
Shamrock(Quote)
Too little class and pace in the final third, and Pardew replaces Obertan with Bigi ? That’s a mystery that like.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Anyway lads n lasses, match report will have to wait until tomorrow late afternoon. Up at 2am for work so straight to be after this and don’t finish until 4pm 🙁
toonsy(Quote)
Get Marveaux and Obertan on the ball.
