Newcastle v Aston Villa – Match banter.

Aston Villa were of course the team who nailed the final nail in our Premier League coffin last time out, although it wasn’t solely down to them in fairness as we paid the price for a whole season of shockingly bad results.
Somebody should have mentioned that to the section of their fans that rather thoughtfully created their own banners and props to bring to the match in the event that we did get relegated. It is those memories that will be in the minds of a fair few Newcastle fans today and a hot reception for the Midlanders can be pretty much guaranteed.
As ever, this is the place to come together and piss and moan about the match as we usually do. If you wish to have a look at our match preview and familiarise yourself with team news and statistical analysis for the match then you can do so here.
As most of you are aware, we are now running a poll before each match to try and gauge the popular opinion on how you, the fans, believe we will fare in each match. For the Villa game, 43% are backing Newcastle to win, 26% favour the draw and 31% believe we will lose.
The match is scheduled for live TV coverage so if any of you know of any decent links and wish to share then please feel free to leave them in the ‘comments’ section.
A win would be nice, but a defeat wouldn’t be the end of the world considering Aston Villa formed part of last seasons top six. I predict 2-1 to Newcastle.
Howay the lads!
