Unofficial: Newcastle v Villa

[Kalimantan Gull]

They owe themselves a favour Villa, they've been woeful. They have some excellent players though, some of the best individuals in the division in theory, and a game at Newcastle is exactly the kind of game where they will step up and play like they oughtta.

Overall though I just can't see Newcastle failing to score past Villa's three man back-line led by Tommy Elphick, and their static wing-backs. Bruce actually looks out of his depth here - he's been at Wigan, Birmingham, Sunderland, Hull - this is the biggest club by a mile he's managed and the first where they expect good flowing football as a matter of course.

It's been a while since they've seen good flowing football, to be fair to Bruce.

Indeed, back to Houillier or O'Neill for anything close to that

There's probably a few Crystal Palace fans lurking that'll disagree with you on at least one of those points.

I thought Villa were one of the best teams, this season, at the Amex

Villa seem to be better when they are underdogs when they pack the midfield and play for a draw so a boring 0-0 suits me fine

Lottery ticket money on 1-1 at 13/2.

Not that I think Villa are any good, but because I don't think Colback is as good as Hayden in central midfield for Newcastle.

Newcastle have got ten of their first choice XI starting. They have had unfair good luck with injuries all season. (I think I have wasted £2.)

Forgot he was at Palace - he's been around a bit hasn't he

You probably should have looked at the line ups, and also seen that Alan Hutton and Elphick are starting for Villa, before placing that bet

Agent Elphick to score a header.

Just gone for Newcastle and Huddersfield. Focussing my lack of gambling luck where it matters for the next couple of weeks.

Reading, Huddersfield and Newcastle for the weekend. That will really hurt if that comes in.

Hopefully gayle and Ritchie pick up minor injuries to put them out for a two weeks.

But at least you can afford a new mattress

Yeah, remember when we were all petrified they would catch us.

Sky are creaming themselves that Newcastle and Villa are in the 2nd tier.
