They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
For all those that haven't had the pleasure of living in Newcastle, it is colder than cold. It is proper Baltic!!!
But who will they direct it at? No Lansbury, its a different referee, our new manager? Well, probably not just yet. Having lived in China Town they will no doubt direct it at themselves and the Big Market, especially if we keep it tight and nick it.
Lol...still drunk and buzzing from Rogue One. Probably the reason for any optimism whatsoever. But, I am here, all the way from Sydney to freeze my nuts off at St James Park. Spotty dog.
OK...team news...I better listen to our jaded Frenchman first...two ticks...
Stojkovic
Perreira Hobbs Worrall Perquis Lichaj
Cash Vaughan Kasami
Osborn Britt
Smith, Mills, Lam, Grant, A youngster, Bendtner, Vellios
I wouldn't have Kasami anywhere near the team. I'd have Lam in for him. I'd also play Britt and Vellios together and put Osborn in midfield, but what do I know.
Osborn and Worrall are doubts and if they don't play I fear that we will get a thorough spanking.
Very happy that Mancienne is unavailable. Hopefully Fox is still out, Dumitru has a cold and Calamity Mills has put his boots on the wrong feet. No doubt it won't be his fault.
Looking forward to the as ever cracking away support as opposed to the doom and gloom of recent weeks.
Heart says 4-1 to Forest, head says 3-1 to Newcastle. I have a big heart, but a bigger head.
Happy New Year Red Dogs....let's hope we go out with a bang!

As Steve Hodge said, Mills made it easy for the ref' to send him off. He needs to be fined a weeks wages imo.
Ref's are obviously being told to crack down on us for petulant reactions to decisions going against us.
We were paying DDV peanuts I suspect, hence his eagerness to move. Last I heard he wasn't playing, not keeping last seasons Player Of The Year happy would be my biggest criticism of P.M.
It looks like Stoic' has lost his nerve?

Judge has been pretty decent for Brentford. A driving midfielder.

I have just seen the abridged hi lights via the NEP. That is never a sending off. The first tackle doesn't look that bad, it isn't a close up, but the second Mills just pats the ball to the guy. Not blasting it into his face or chest, complete ridiculous; especially if it costs P.M his job.
We can't appeal either because it's a second yellow, what a stick up.

That ref' in my opinion needs to be investigated especially as the game was turning in our favour.
That just stinks.

TBF it wasn't a straight red, it was a second yellow. I've not seen it, mind, to say if it was worth even a yellow...

Like Chile, I was there last night and Newcastle were there for the taking. Fat waiter was at the 4th official for the whole game and clearly got his way in the end. Kashmi and Hobbs were excellent and Bentner needs to go.

Completely agree CohenRed. When we have the players available we are a very good side, but Bendtner never out jumped or out challenged anyone. He just wants to pick up a wage for as long as his career takes him. Shame as he clearly has it in him.
