Yay! Sunday is the return of Pards, a man we can't really be bothered to cheer for or boo 
By the way the newcastle squad is looking they seem to be forward heavy (like us) so a 3-2 either way is probably on the cards. Would happily take a draw right now, no injuries and we can prepare for the big game on Wednesday.
Have to beat Norwich really, one of the lower half teams that we are currently competing with (despite their two upsets against United and Arsenal). Win and a draw will actually make this month look like a pretty decent set of results plus sets us up nicely for the next couple of key games going into christmas.

You'll beat us 3-1. Quote me when you do

It's what I went for in the prediction league as well
(though I like to think Ba or Cisse could between them put 2 past us...)

Surely a routine 3 points for us on Saturday? Bet we still fail to put in a convincing performance though
After the last 2 weeks I'm not taking anything for granted.
So we've had Scholes, Carrick and Giggs, Carrick. Will it be Giggs, Scholes this weekend? Phase 3 of the Fergie Experiments?
Our back 4 is on the up! We stopped playing Jos the boss because he was top scorer for Fulham when they visited... Combining that with playing Yoshida and Shaw (who's 17) we seem to have sort of fixed what was a depressing back line.
Plus Jack Cork is back, he's the messiah, he's been the defensive midfielder of everyones dreams in the last two games.
I am excited we can stop our selves getting an absolute hiding... (well hoping)

I went 3-1 Soton too, zero confidence at the mo!
Our Sunday game promises to be a very interesting affair.
It's going to be a very odd atmosphere, I'm sure Neil Barnett will announce Rafa to the fans but I've no idea what the reception will be like, probably not too positive.
As for the game, I don't think we should pay too much attention to the result after all we're playing the best team in the country, it's Wednesday night's game v Fulham that matters.
Hmm cant see us having any real problem dispatching Villa and making them languish further in the relegation zone.
Im more concerned about our game against Everton, that one will be tricky and tough.
Im going with a win and draw at best, worst results would 2 draws or 2 losses and its not beyond Arsenals ineptness in defence to easily throw 6 pts down the drain.

We should really be beating Villa, away game or not. Shame I don't subscribe to ESPN so I imagine it will be Russian commentary for me.
I'm depressed.
I've really just had enough of football for a while
I'm happy again
Even if we are playing Palace
