Maritimo v Newcastle United - Official Build Up /Match Day Thread

Saw Tayls and Rammage the first time they played together and thought they were great, both destined for England. Said that to the guys sitting next to me, seems they lived just a bit too far up North. Didn't know they'd played together at school. Didn't help Rammage by going to QPR either. Think he's at Crystal Palace now.

 

Jonas on the left and Bigi on the right.

 

Jonas not in the squad and hasn't travelled. Cisse also hasn't gone.

 

Squad: Harper, Elliot, Perch, Santon, Williamson, S.Taylor, Tavernier, Ferguson, Anita, Bigirimana, Gosling, Marveaux, Obertan, Abeid, Amalfitano, Vuckic, Campbell, Sh.Ameobi, Sa.Ameobi.

No mention of Jonas at all.

Selected PP Match odds:
Newcastle to win @ 9/4
Haris Vuckic anytime goalscorer @ 9/2
Shola Ameobi to be Newcastle's first goalscorer @ 9/2

Might be worth a few coppers on Shola to get the first goal.

Shola's gonna be wearing the armband tonight, So we can take it as certain that he'll be starting.

Double incentive for him.

 

Think tonight could be a good night to put Abeid in the window as he is supposedly going out on loan but personally I would play

----------Harps----------

Tav-Willo-Perch-Ferguson

--Bigi-Gosling-Amalfitano--

Obertan-Shameobi-Marveux

Abeid, Vuckic and Sammy to get of fthe bench at some point as well.

Would be surprised to see Saylor or Santon get any time but expect to see them on the bench.

3-1 win Shola, Shola, Gosling

 

I think it'll be

-------------Harper
Tav----Perch----Willo----Santon
Obertan---Bigi---Gosling---Marv
---------------Vuckic
---------------Shola

Pars will want to 2 banks of 4 and make us difficult to break down, similar to 2nd half against Everton.

 

Was just testing you AB haha cheers though

 

I knew you were.

Was going to give you some testing rep but ....................... You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to G4rdToonArmy again.

 

Think we will win this one 2 - 1.

 

I watched these on Sunday against Sporting , and you have very little to fear.

They nicked a point late on, but that was Sporting's doing, they were cantering through the match but they were shocking in the final third.

They were quick on the break, but didn't have much going on when they got out, and I think they will struggle massively with a physical forward.

If Ba plays, a comfortable 2-0 for you cats in my opinion.

EDIT read rest of posts and see Ba isn't travelling.

1-0 then, Shola.

I'm going to back that with hard cash.

 

I want us to play Vuckic and Shola after reading that analysis.

 

1 - 0 Shola. 35/1

Worth a shot.

 

Funny that, says the same thing to me. Guess I'll have to make a trip to the brothel....hmmm not the worst idea i've had today.

 

Wow.

 

put £2 on and that's lots of Vodka....

 

Might drink himself silly with all that.

Oops, too late.

 

I put £2.50 on it. 90 quid return. And no vodka for me until next wednesday

Didn't drink last night either.
