Predictions for the derby? My head says another Sunderland win which I couldn't stand. But my heart says we could spring a surprise, nothing less than a dominant win will make up for the previous derby losses

Go with your head, 3-1 or 3-0 to us Mackems

Jtoon I don't know why you think that. They are not second bottom of the league for nothing. can't see anything other than us turning them over

Because they will fight and kick anything that moves Poyett is despearte for a win before he does a Di Cnio and is sacked

6-0

De jong 10min hat trick
HBA 1/2 way line mazey run then a postage stamp drill
Debouch 30yard screamer
N then Williamson (albert type chip)

Largey those scorelines clearly haven't come out of your head. I would say more likely your ass. Like I say your not second bottom for nothing.

Actually good point fnuklnuk

Nothing less than a thrashing will make up for our two losses to the worst team in the league

In my opinion, we won't miss Remy one bit in the derby, as long as we get de jong on loan. We need players who will give heart, not mercenaries. Can't believe we hit the woodwork 3 times, but it looks like ben arfa has been given a kick up the backside by pardew, and played well in the free role.

My lineup for the derby:

Krul
Debuchy/Taylor/Williamson/Santon
Anita/Tiote
Sissoko/Ben Arfa/Marveaux
De Jong

But I would also be happy for the ameobi brothers to start, sammy played well and shola will be fired up and will want to prove himself. Play a high pressing game, excite the crowd, but most importantly we need to start brightly and score FIRST AND EARLY.

De Jong won't start, He might not get permission in time and he won't be Match Fit. I would of liked Armstrong to have run out today so hopefully he gets one against Sunderland. Pappis Cosse and GOUFFRAN need to be back for the derby

If the Ameobi brothers start/ then that is waving the white flag. De Jong has came on as a sub 13 times this season and the MOST he has played is 20 mins in a single game. Not be up to 90 mins PLUS the fact his club have him as 5th choice? So YES we WILL miss Remy for the Derby. If the two main strikers on show are Statue Ameobi for the Toon and Dozy Barndoor for the muckems, then 0-0 is nailed on.

The mackem slayer will be up for it on saturday

Goufran will be back.

I would rather play Campbell than shola he was awful when he came on last night

The Derby has just become a problem with the Remy sending off

Jimmy, it hasn't become a problem. I couldn't really care less about remy, de jong will be ready if he signs. Form goes out the window, Remy was awful in the last derby, and he's already said he's not interested in staying

Jtoon, Remy was prob our best threat of scoring today. DeJong won't start on Sat. It will be Shola

28 Jan 2014 21:31:22
Oh well remy only misses matches against

Makems
Spurs
Chelsea

A lot of people keep saying that Cabeye is not worth £20mil. Sorry but if Fellaini is worth £28mil and Mata £37mil I am sure Cabeye is worth more that £20mil.

We are going to now relying on ben Arfa for our creativity for the rest of the season but I feel he is too inconsistent.

The only way we can improve is to pay players the money as not being in champions league you can't attract good players.

Okay bring in De Jong but he is a gamble. Might as well get Gomis in if he is available for next to nothing.

Grenier looks like a great replacement for Cabeye. Very similar but much younger. Have done well if Cabella is lined up for the summer.

If we get Luuk, could that tempt Siem to come in the summer?

Pardew will probs move Sissoko into the middle and then play Ben Arfa or Remy on the right with de Jong up front. Might work. But very little creativity. Will have to hope that Sissoko turns into the yaya toure that everyone says he is.

Agreed.

Quality players sell for ridiculous prices these days. Cabaye is true quality and he's gone to PSG for only £20 million? That's madness.

With that being said, if we can get De Jong and Grenier in for that money, and they settle well, things might not be so terrible after all.

Hard luck losing Cabyebye lol, na seriously you lost your best player and replacing him with de jong, LOL, just been reported on radio de jong is the biggest flop in munchen gladbacks history, roll on saturday 3rd derby defeat in a row Boriniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Is ya name gip as a result of the effect ya have on women or is it based on what comes outta ya mouth.

Hardley BMG biggest flop. being a squaddie who served in germany n followed BMG for 25years I can name a flop. he ain't one of em.

He just got himself in a position cisse is in. strikers nowadays don't get the chance to rediscover form

Gip your rants are a bit like the mad man u just sacked useless
I think most of us would have preferred Bony or a dynamic striker
But beggars under Ashley can not be choosers
We in the other hand have not had to sign 15 players to try and catch up
Although against the grain I hope you win the Derby because if not you are in the S. te & going down

What even though de Jong had a great scoring record at twente? It's ok carry on being cocky, I don't see any of your players being linked with big money moves to champions league clubs? Neither do I see you club attracting the likes of de Jong and cabella. Oh yeah, mind the gap SMB

Gip, how can you come on here talking about flops when you have alitodore in your side? I would be more worried about your very unstable position in the relegation places then coming on here with your read out from your crystal ball.

Dozy was top scorer in dutch league last season with 31 goals doesn't say a lot for de jong does it, we all know he s a flop, as for the 15 players we bought only 5 have been played the rest are in the under 21 side admit we have had some total clowns as managers but we have a gem now in Gus, not worried about relagation because it won't happen danni toon what has my name got to do with anything what makes you think it is even my name? and it has been reported on radio that he was the biggest flop in their history, sounds like you are all panacking about saturday its the biggest game of the season for yous, on a lighter note Dannitoon if you are a squaddie even though you are a geordie I take my hat of to you help for heroes all day long

{Ed001's Note - you do realise De Jong was in Germany last season, right?}

Yes ed but some one mentioned he had great scoring record for FC twenty who are dutch

Nice one gip.

So Gus is a Gem? What about your previous boss wasn't he also a quality manager when he first arrived? Saturday is your biggest game of the season you certainly need the points more than us.

De Jong has had 23apps and scored 6 goals 13 of them being sub appearances. Altidore has 1 in 20

You don't lose class. sometimes its the wrong club and a dip in form. Car wanted him that's good enough for me

Fnuklnuk, our previous boss is history He's gone! Saturday isn't our biggest game of the season bur it wi be 3 out of 3 for us, I think we have a little visit to wembley and the stoke game is bigger than saturday, jt bundeslige is no where near the quality of the epl

19th. on goal difference. Lol.

Regardless if PDC is history or not. You lot still banged the drum about how good he was. Now Gus is the new messiah. You lot will never learn. Trip to Wembley, fair point but getting your ass handed to you beamed around the world is nothing to look forward to.

I love it how you say Saturday isn't the biggest game of the season when you've won two in a row

I think we have a ready made replacement in sissoko, he's been played out of position all year to accommodate cabaye, tiote and anita, and while it is devastating to lose cabaye, I think to move sissoko more central and then putting ben arfa into sissoko's position wouldn't be a bad idea!

Your grasping at straws with the The Sissoko is a ready made replacement. Whilst I rate Sissoko he is no Cabaye. His passing is nowhere near the standards of Cabaye's. He is a box to box work horse. Anita is most like Cabaye in our midfield.

28 Jan 2014 11:32:49
Cisse not travelling due to a bad back. yeah right he is off too which is why De Jong is coming in.

I don't think we will sign a replacement for Cabs I just think HBA will play the number 10 role where he should have always been playing anyway and Gosling will be cover for Anita and Tiote as Pards has already said he wants to have another look at him.

My guess is De Jong on loan, Cisse/Cabs sold and another £30-£35m paid back to Ashley. Hopefully we are getting towards the point where with the TV money, funds banked from player sales with little or no outlay on new ones that Ashley is getting all his dosh back so he can drop the selling price to a realistic level and then we all can move on.

Well another year & another really bad transfer window for us, u can't blame cabaye for leaving for champions lge but where does this leave us now? Pardew says he has a back up plan but what's the chances of us getting someone over the line when kinnear has bn in Germany for over a wk & has done nothing on the luuk de jong deal #joke

Still until 11pm Friday Just hang on a bit and see

Vida u r being very optimistic considering its mike Ashley we r on about lol

27 Jan 2014 23:43:40
You know I don't blame Cabaye for leaving, I'm pleased for him, and I don't even blame any of the players for leaving, cisse, krul, Mbiwa take your pick, what are they going to win here? F*** all that's what. They know that the club has no ambition whatsoever, and for them to be happy to sell 4 days before the derby is disgraceful.

As long as these two people are in charge, we are no more than a mediocre club. As long as these two people are in charge, we will never see the entertainers again. As long as these people are in charge, we will never become the once unique and fantastic club that we were under KK and SBR

Totally agree with you JToon. It is a sad state of affairs at the club. Selling our key player who won't be replaced. What message does this send to our better players. We are well placed in the league but Cashley is still willing to sell our best players just to tot up his bank balance. Best support in the land treated like mugs again.
