An early upset by Newcastle would be sweet followed by a lot of this

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.

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.

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 · 15-12-2012 11:53AM

Ben Arfa not even listed as a substitute.

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

LostBoy101 · 15-12-2012 12:00PM

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

SpaceCowb0y · 15-12-2012 12:13PM

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 · 15-12-2012 12:35PM

Hopefully Kompanys absence will mean massive holes in the city defence

dahat · 15-12-2012 12:38PM

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 · 15-12-2012 12:44PM

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

Nasri Assist

q2ice · 15-12-2012 12:55PM

Aguero goal
Nasri assist

Nasri was offside but it still stands

C'mon now Tevez!!!

Hopefully the start of a rout which involves Tevez.

manual_man · 15-12-2012 01:04PM

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 · 15-12-2012 01:12PM

Cmon Silva get in the act!

Max Power · 15-12-2012 01:13PM

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 · 15-12-2012 01:14PM

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