I’m expecting some fun tonight, OK Stoke will be big and direct – brilliant, there is no way we’ll cope with this very brainy tactic so we’ll have to counter it. We have no players apart from my team. This team can only play one way – attack.

I honestly can not see any other way for us but to go 100% at them. Go at them with every damn thing we’ve got. Width, pace,…

Newcastle may have been slump recently in Premier League, have had three defeats in a row but to be honest and beyond my wildest dream, I can’t see how they will bring the nightmare to us.

Three games unbeaten and entirely typically for the Toon, we believed we’d made it. We began lethargic, sloppy and overconfident, and surprise, surprise quickly found ourselves a goal down - yet again. Newcastle have an amazing capacity to embarrass, especially during the holiday periods, and once again they came up trumps.

We were shockingly bad: no urgency or cohesion, second to almost every ball, sloppy passing, lacking in movement - the lack of support for the…

Most of the Toon Army will going to St. James’ Park on Sunday as they will bring the most courages support ever to do a revenge against the Rams for their unpredictable win in September.
