Gonna stick with the armband for Aguero. Don't mess things up Mancini :pac:

Jax Teller

I'm suprised there is no early kick off today

El Horseboxo

So Agüero as captain to bang in 2 and assist Kompany yeah?

No, Richards to assist Ba. Oh, wait...

My big dilemma this week is... Sorensen or Vorm ?

(Sorensen is home to Vorm...). I'd normally go with the home keeper but Stoke are sh1te at the moment, they played EL during the week and Swansea are on a good run away (bar their defeat in Sunderland).

Swansea have been fairly toothless away from home all season. A 0-0 result is a good possibility in this game. I'm going for Sorenson anyways.

manual_man

taken a risk and benched Dempsey and brought in Ireland. Wigan are sh1te at home. Hopefully Ireland plays. Wouldn't say no to a goal and an assist either

That would be some ball if he could cross it from Manchester to Newcastle

POKERKING

Looking forward to this, seems ages ago since last one with the fa cup distraction last week.

Captain RVP, Newcastle wolves to be nil all would be great allround aswell please.

In same position, picked Sorensen but think decision could be made for you if Pulis decides to drop him for Begovic. Has been in poor form recently.

FML, forgot to change my team. I still have Valencia in my midfield and Silva as captain. Need City to score big and him to be involved. Cant believe I forgot to change things.

dahat

Cpt Auguero but i think everyone is banking on a City onslaught today....

Jax Teller

Downloaded this app for my iPhone last night looks good like livescore but gives team sheets and highlights supposedly .

Only one to watch with so many having Ba as captain especially - I captained Cisse :cool:

Jax Teller

WBA 1 up odemwingie

carlcon

Good news for myself to start with. Happy to see Sunderland concede. I'm starting to get worried about not having any Sunderland players. Hopefully now Sess won't retaliate too hard...

Jax Teller

Cisse scores for Newcastle after Ba nearly scores a great back heel

carlcon

Pogrebnyak is looking a good player, especially for only 6m. 2 goals in 2 games now.

I was saying yesterday that he's a bad player for Dempsey, because now he's playing deeper. May have to look at his position in my team soon.

PopTarts

I had Odemwingle for when Ba was away and he did nothing so I got rid...

Cisse coming good though!

Jax Teller

Fulham 1 up pavel pogrebnyak. Dembele assist

Tiote assisedt cisse and mulumbu assisted odemwingie

Jax Teller

Joan's gutierrez goal . 2-0 Newcastle
Simpson put it a ball headed out by a defender to gutierrez . Does that count as an assist ?

carlcon

2 Newcastle goals but no Ba in sight. Would usually be an annoyance, but my opposition in the Boards league has him as captain, so good news so far.

Charlie Haughy

Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up 4 or 5 nil for newcastle today.

Jax Teller

Someone sent off for Qpr . Fulham might run riot now

Diakite sent off.

grohlisagod

Schwarzer on the damn bench!

Jax Teller

2-0 WBA Morrison

How Soon Is Now

Things not going the way i taught they would so far.

No goals for Sunderland Newcastle up by two and no sign of Ba.

Also kinda tempted to lash a 5er on bolton but thats another story :pac:

manual_man

Morisson a bit of a points machine lately. Seems to be playing off Odemwinge

Jax Teller

Odemwingie goal. fortune assist

Jax Teller

Jarvis goal . Newcastle clean sheet gone

carlcon

A million people shrug their shoulders as Danny Simpson loses his 4 points for all of them.

Jax Teller

Drogba goal .
Lampard assist

carlcon

Lampard corner, Drogba header. 2-0.

Jax Teller

Doyle 2-2 scrappy goal

PopTarts

Cisse and Taylor off Hope Newcastle concede a few more now!

Hoping for a Sess goal in the Sunderland game!

It's been a day for goals and assists from players not a lot of people have. Only have 3 players playing in the 3pm games. Still it's strange seeing just 6 points at this time. Actually 10 if Fulham hold on.

Yeah with Liverpool not playing, United, Arsenal, and Spurs playing tomorrow, and City in the late kick-off, most of the "usuals" are nowhere to be seen.

I'm sure most people have 2 City players though, so fingers crossed that changes in about an hour.
