Game On! Cardiff v Newcastle

Game On at Cardiff
Game On at Cardiff
Welcome one and all to this ‘Game On’ article which today will take us through every twist and turn of our trip to Cardiff City.

This has been branded a “must win” game by players like Vurnon Anita who stresses how important it is for the “real” United to turn up this afternoon.

However Cardiff will make it hard for us. We always seem to struggle against newly promoted teams and the Welsh side are determined to stay in the league which of course means that they must rack up points, especially at home in front of their own fans. Only Tottenham have won there this season, and they just managed it, so that will give you an idea how tough Cardiff can make it for us.

The match preview was posted online yesterday and can be viewed by clicking the link at the bottom of this article. It’s full of stats, facts, injury news and a brief history of the fixture so is worth a read if you haven’t already had a peek at it.

Team news will be added in fully below as and when it becomes available so keep your eyes peeled for that, but also I’d like you to keep your eyes peeled for a stream of the game. It’s a 3pm kick-off which means that live TV broadcast here in the UK is out of the question here in blighty, but it is being shown overseas so picking up a stream should be fine. As I’ve said though, if you do find one then post the link in the ‘comments’ section below.

I think I’ve just about covered everything so now it’s up to the players to do the rest. Hopefully they can play for a whole 90 minutes, not just 45, and that’s if they show up at all. With games coming up against Sunderland, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea thought, the need for points today is great indeed!

Howay the lads!

  6. you can see that Willo is not the biggest genius as defender, you know it’s not because Mbiwa was not good that Willo has improved.

  17. NOW IT’S the crucial moment. We need to continue attack.
    We just don’t seem able to hold the pressure if a teams put a little bit pressure on us.
    Don’t go down now, it will be really terrible for us to don’t win this game. We were totally dominant.

  26. Bad choice by remy there the best choice was the pass to Cisse.
    But Sissoko should had score and the game will be over.
