Any further news on Sterling's rest, I don't see the need for it to be honest

Ihope he plays. But he does play in every game, every week. He would have to take time off at some point.

Mr.Nice Guy

Funny to think that two Irish international players - John O'Shea and Ciaran Clark - are the ones tasked with trying to ruin hundreds of thousands of people's weekend by frustrating the two most popular captaincy picks.

manual_man

in fairness that was published before the S'hampton game, and he's played the full 90 in the 2 since. indeed he's played the full 90 in the last 8

q2ice

Ben Arfa not even listed as a substitute.

NUFC Subs: Elliot, Tavernier, Ferguson, Bigirimana, Marveaux, Sammy Ameobi, Shola Ameobi.

City are a lot stronger on paper but we'll see what happens.

Mancini sees sense, Tevez starts! Giddy up!!! Hopefully he can run amok against a dodgey Newcastle today and prove his worth when he actually gets to start!

Tevez goal and a City clean sheet please. I brought in Nastasic. Cheap way into a top class defence.

q2ice

Hopefully Kompanys absence will mean massive holes in the city defence

dahat

I fear a goal fest here today plus i have a fear of this GW tbh,i have a feeling it will not go well for me......

Is it really top class without Kompany in it ?

dahat

Mancini--Balotelli left out as he needs to train more which tells me Tevez will be in for a good while,Hello Tevez for GW18............

i'm sure Kompany will be back soon. Newcastle are very lacklustre going forward without Cabaye and Barfa. i don't have any City defensive coverage myself but will be looking to do so, probably not til the wildcard coz i have other more important transfers to take care of first

Aguero Goal

Hopefully the start of a rout which involves Tevez.

City could be easily 3 up already. Fearful here as a non-owner of any City players

Fearful as a Newcastle supporter. Looking decidedly one-sided

Aguero captain, 1st decent decision in weeks.

Fowler87

Cmon Silva get in the act!

Max Power

He might need another goal or 2. RVP and Suarez are playing against Sunderland and Villa at 3 so they could run riot.

manual_man

Samir Nasri playing very well by all accounts. On-form could be a sneaky differential at 8.0

Coming off now

S.M.B.

Looks like he's done his groin.

q2ice

Nasri down. Looks like he's got a sore sack

OneColdHand

I had him earlier in the year. Thought he might be good for a couple of weeks as differential, but he did sweet flip all for me.

Gone off injured now anyway!

Edit: Aguero booked.

Max Power

Aguero booked.

q2ice

Aguero yellow for kicking ball away

S.M.B.

Aha! Potential yellow card mix up.

FatRat

haha Tevez should have been carded..... Aguero got it instead

Nope. Augero got it for dissent (kicking ball away)

machiavellianme

Og?
Garcia from Silva corner

manual_man

Hmmmmmm. Kolarov

Necronomicon

Javi Garcia goal, Silva assist I'd say.

Yeah, didn't realise that at first. Presumed he was walking towards Tevez with the card. 'Twas a nice little surprise.

Fowler87

Nice one Silva. Goal now lad!

Who_8_Paul?

Bloody hell, I transferred Aguero out this week for Rooney, thought he wasn't justifying his price tag, although I expect he'll hit a purple patch at some stage, hope its not now and I hope Rooney does the business today, I'm another RVP + Rooney for the Christmas man!

Max Power

Have RVP, Suarez and Berba myself. Hoping for at least 6 goals from them.

manual_man

Relieved to say the least Tevez didn't get anything out of that. Could easily mop up in the second half. Though i feel Dzeko deserves a run-out from around the 60 min mark

omniscient_toad

You never know with Mancini, he's as likely to take half the attack off after 60 minutes for not scoring as he is to do the same for scoring plenty and being comfortably ahead.

OneColdHand

Come on Demba!!

Edit: Hehe! Oh, thanks!!
