Newcastle United v Rovers F.A. Cup Round Three

[Alan]

For those not familiar with Alexander Pope's work I think Drog means "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread". If I'm teaching my grandma to suck eggs I apologise.

Have you offered them Jaffa cakes ???

 

[Drog]

Defeat at Chelsea see NUFC silp into the bottom 3. A massive 6 pointer v Cardiff City next up too. I wonder how much the FA Cup will be figuring in their thinking at present? I doubt the owner, wannabee owners, management, coaches and players will be bothered too much about this as they contemplate losing their grip on the engorged Premier league nipple.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

For those of you who join in the predictions league, there will be predictions for the replay but only for the score at the end of normal time (plus any injury time).
In case I forget, I'm putting mine in now.
3-1 Rovers

 

[Drog]

Same WB 3-1 although I may edit this if shelvey's thigh strain improves enough for him to play. He made a massive difference when he came on last week but since then he's been to Barcelona for a consultation on his long term injury.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

2-1 to us.

 

[Alan]

Rovers 2 Newcastle 1.

 

[khmerblue]

same side as sat,maybe Graham for Nuttall

 

[Drog]

Won't be a better time to play the mags imo. They really are a club in turmoil. Just gone into the bottom 3, currently in the midst of a takeover with neither current nor prospective new owners wanting cup involvement, speculation increasing about the manager, Shelvey probably off to an increasingly determined WHU who will probably tinned up with chinese Arnoutovic money, and they have a serious midfield crisis.....
......... (surely we all know now that the rovers will lose.)

[steve w]

rovers 1 - toon 2, just think the extra premiership class will tell over two games (hope I'm wrong of course)

A game I have to miss because of work commitments - not happy!!!

 

[Leonard Venkhater.... 4 ever]

[MCMC1875]

Rovers 2-0 Newcastle

 

[khmerblue]

seeing it is match day here im going rovers 3 v 1 barcodes

 

[Steve Moss]

Rovers for the win, 3-0.

 

[Drog]

same side as sat,maybe Graham for Nuttall

There is a link here. Was DG rested on Sat? Rem both Mowbray and Graham are Mags fans and will seriously want to put one over on them, however Nuttall scored with his ear so TM might give him 45 minutes to soften them up.

 

[geedog]

So not that I want to spoil anyone's night ...... But I've just been on the rovers web page looking at a gallery of todays training and I noticed a lot of pics like these.....




Then I see this .......


So what do we all think? As I think this may be a small clue to something tomorrow night

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Apparently, we have a sleeve sponsor for the game.
Well done to whoever came up with the idea to make a bit of money from being on TV
