Sunday Dugout Discussion

Ain’t snow stopping us now. Despite the downpour of white stuff in the North-East St James’ Park is good to go to play host to Chelsea and that is where we start our Sunday affairs.

Newcastle welcome Cheikh Tiote back into their team after suspension, Sol Campbell and Steven Taylor cover for the suspended Williamson and Coloccini while Wayne Routledge comes in for Kevin Nolan who has picked up a knock. Chelsea play the eleven as revealed earlier in the week..

Newcastle XI: Krul; Simpson, Campbell, S. Taylor, Enrique; Routledge, Guthrie, Tiote, Gutierrez; Ameobi, Carroll

Chelsea XI: Cech; Bosingwa, Alex, Ivanovic, Cole; Mikel, Ramires, Malouda; Anelka, Drogba, Kalou

After we weather the storms up north we have Spurs playing host to Liverpool to warm our cockles while the gameweek comes to a close.

All of you looking for your matchday fix can of course head into the Dugout Discussion to discuss your favourite snowflake or, preferably, Fernando Torres’ impending hat-trick.

    I think the Chelsea midfielders have offered too little attacking wise in this game. The front three are working hard but when they get the ball they mostly have their back to goal or have drifted wide. Then if they manage to keep it anyway there are not enough follow-up runs from the two midfielders.

    i really think i have some demon haunting me.

    was staring at 400 quid there, got boots gloves, cash ready at 42 minutes, came back into the game, ready to go put 170 on in williamhill at 13/10 for over 1 goals, so i was guaranteed the 200 quid, a badly needed 200 quid.

    I did everything right. ANdy carroll did everything right. Fifty f**king five to one, and that c*nt Kalou scores with 30 seconds left in the half.

    I dont know why im writing, perhaps to stave off the general feeling of doom i feel upon myself. THat was just the biggest kick in the bals i think ive ever got

              Lew, the bookies is 5 minutes away, had to wait ye know. william hill had a much bigger price on over 1.5 goals too than others, AND it would have taken me ages to open an account.

              Bottom line is i wanted to wait till half time, so the odds would go out. 30 fcuking seconds, unreal, simply unbelieveable

                  My mate, who does 0 preperation and knows, quite frankly, bugger all about football puts the following bets on:

                  Dover v Gillingham (FA Cup 1st)

                  Bet: £2 on Dover 2 - 0 Gillingham - Birchall to score first @ ~100/1.

    Chelsea have no real pattern to their play - not enough players in the box and both ramires and mikel are shockingly poor.
