No, they really won't. a 3-1 win for City

Johner

Newcastle XI to face Man City: Krul, Debuchy, Taylor, Coloccini, Yanga-Mbiwa, Tiote, Gutierrez, Ben Arfa, Sissoko, Gouffran, Cisse

No Cabaye.

Good to see Aguero back. I predict a 3-1 win for City also.

Bit surprised Aguero got the nod, he can't be 100%. Glad Negredo isn't starting with Dzeko though, that really didn't work in pre-season.

Anybody know what's wrong with Jovetic?

Hard not to anticipate a City win, despite the OP's apparent clairvoyance.

The_Kew_Tour

both teams to score, but City to edge it 2-1

BNMC

5-5

early city goal could leave it a very long night for us

M5

city to score within 5 mins and score 4

I like Pellegrini, he conducts himself with a bit of class.

City 3-0 can't see where Newcastle's goals are going to come from

Seannew1

Someone tell me why Anita isn't playing and why Gutierrez is? Our club is being run by 3 idiots.

Nuri Sahin

Toure, Kun or Navas MOTM please. Ta.

BNMC

Pardew is an extremely unlikable man.

Limerick Dude

Can't believe Cabaye is not in the squad, can't believe Jonas is ahead of Anita.

Ball hasn't even been kicked and the season looks fcuked!

Oh Newcastle....why do you do this to me....

Is the match on tv?

Carra actually decent, thought he would be terrible. New approach from Sky by the looks, leaving the 2 pundits debate with each other. Neville still by far the better pundit though.

Hart just out of the hairdressers?

Black armbands for Bert Trautmann.

Lovely bit of play that.

Duff

Here we go...

Nuri Sahin

Good save from Krul.

Navas's has a C on it. Must have taken Vinny's by accident.

Duff

It's going to be a long night.

Johner

Zabeleta and Navas are linking well already.

Really? Didn't notice that at all.

super_furry

Newcastle could get an absolute hiding here.

Nuri Sahin

Silva, 1-0

stiffler123

Get in!

Darkglasses

SILVAAAAA!

karma_

Rare enough things that, a headed goal by Silva.

bad2dabone

Navas is no slouch is he!

Part one confirmed

Turtyturd

Shambles of an OP might be about to get worse.

Duff

I'll never understand how professional footballers are unable to beat the first man with a cross.

Darkglasses

Great tackle there by Lescott. Has a great chance to prove himself with Nastasic out for a while.

stiffler123

Great sliding tackle by Fernandinho, I like the cut of his jib.

Nuri Sahin

Fine finish from Kun, 2-0.

Darkglasses

AGUERRRROOOOOOO!

Slick slick finish. I take back anything I may or may not have said about him not being ready.

Professional Griefer

Great strike.

super_furry

Class finish from Aguero but Newcastle look like a pub team.

Dempsey

Great finish by Aguero but lovely flick by Dzeko

fullstop

What a goal.

stiffler123

Beautiful pass by Dzeko in the build up. Great finish by Kun too.

PhlegmyMoses

Dzeko looking very good. Some lovely hold-up play from him. Never had much time for him but the last 6 months or so have seen him come into his own.

Ben Arfa the only player that looks decent for Newcastle. I think they'll struggle a bit this year.

Duff

Debuchy. Shocking.

Harsh on Ben Arfa, the rest of them do though.
