I live right next to Park Lane it had better not be a fanny on.

Not optimistic for this one.

We won't 'just nick it' as premeditated, this will either be emphatic or an absolute car crash.

Harper
Beye Taylor Rozehnal Enrique
Milner Emre Geremi N'Zogbia
Martins/Owen Viduka/Ameobi

Reckon if Vids ain't fit then we should start Shola. Only had one league start all season, he'll be champing at the bit, as well as those two headers he scored in the one a few seasons ago. Plus, the route one tactics won't work against Nosworthy and Higginbotham who will mop up long balls all day.

Couldn't get a ticket, so heading off into Newcastle early on Saturday morning to watch it there.

Hopefully Allardyce will play N'Zogbia on the left and Milner on the right. Anything else will be asking for trouble. Would like to see either Martins or Owen with either Smith or Viduka. Any permutation will do.

I work with a lass who's a mackem, and right now I'm starting to regret making her life such a misery after we thrashed them 4-1.

As for those saying it's "Easily the least anticipated EPL derby", well maybe to you. For me, it's the most important game of the season by a country mile.

So is Park Lane not operating at all? No buses? Or are they being diverted?

retired_frogchickie

from our two games, newcastle the much better team, but I can see the mackems being more up for this

Actually thinking about it, it might be St Peters.

im not wasting my time writing it out in full for this waste of space match tbh. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Yet you've bothered to twice come into the thread and commenting on it.......

Muppet.

To whom?

Do you think most of the country give a sh*t about Man City/Man Utd, Arsenal/Spurs etc or any of the other 'derbies' that happen in London every other week? The idea that some of those ones matter to anyone other than their own fans quite amazes me - so I'm not quite sure why you expect ours too.

As far as fans go for football and historical reasons this is one of the most eagily anticipated derbies there is between sets of fans, the amount of hate and hype building up around it at the moment is crazy and I can see a fair bit of trouble happening on saturday - maybe not at the ground but there's allsorts going on.

I just hope the game's played in the right spirit, and everyone enjoys themselves.
