I'll also have my eye on the Championship this afternoon. I'll be hoping for a home win for Yorkshire cousins Barnsley against Evil Millwall and a home win for bottom club Bristol City against Udinese West.
I just read that Ballo is taking his non-stop comedy back to Italy. What a shame. I'll miss the punch-ups with that tosser Mancini, but his off the field lunacy more. Ciao Mario, you were fantastic entertainment.
Hey
I am leaving school soon to be home for the match
I will be able to watch it all before I have my college class
Still waiting for the last vowell scorer
Tonight's line-ups at Villa Park:
Villa - Guzan, Clark, Vlaar, Baker, Lowton, Westwood, Bannan, N'Zogbia, Bennett, Benteke, Bent.
Subs - Given, Ireland, Agbon, Holman, Bowery, Weismann, Lichaj.
Newcastle - Krul, Debuchy, Taylor, Coloccini, Santon, Perch, Cabaye, Gouffran, Sissoko, Gutierrez, Cisse.
Subs - Harper, Williamson, Anita, Yanga-Mbiwa, Bigirimana, The Ameobi Brothers.
Afternoon, lads - sorry to hear that the Balo Show is ending - he's really been great value.
And the new look Newcastle get us underway in this key clash. Hope it's a ding dong.
And it's the Magpies who are making the early running - Villa under instant pressure.
Newcastle are certainly going for it early doors with three attackers through the middle.
We're back after a short delay as Charles N'Zogbia was down receiving treatment.
There's a definite French flavor to this new look Newcastle side. Let's hope that the Toon area restaurants are laying on some extra vin rouge.
Oh - Cisse just got caught offside. Villa are playing it fast and loose though playing too high a line. They will get caught.
By the way, you all know the US is playing the Canucks in a non-sanctioned friendly tonight, right? All MLS, plus Eric Lihaj!
First attack for Villa through the dangerous Benteke. Coloccini did well to shut him down.
I did not - cheers, Gooner - I appreciate the heads-up.
Does "non-sanctioned" mean that it's a US Soccer event not sanctioned by FIFA?
Btw, can't be Lichaj tonight as he's on the Villa bench this evening.
The young Villa defense has withstood that early Newcastle flurry and we've entered a bit of a lull in the match. Cagey at the moment.
Oh - great cross by Gutierrez and Guiffran wasn't far away.
GOAL! Cisse opens the scoring for the Magpies!
This could be the beginning of a lovely friendship between Sissoko and Cisse. Great ball through and Cisse is clinical from that range. No chance for Guzan.
I am home and the Toon are ahead!
Oh - N'Zogbia rifles one off the Sunday Roast. Unlucky for Villa.
Welcome home, mate - how's your week been?
Is this match the only 2:45 kick off?
No
It looks like all 2:45 starts
Is the Norwich Spurs match postponed for tomorrow or postponed because of the weather?
Stoke have taken the lead through Ryan Shawcross. Let me guess - long throw onto his head.
Week has been long and it's only Tuesday
I didn't see Norwich v. Spurs scheduled for today.
Ouch - good start for me. My Tuesdays will be nice this semester. I'm doing a site based class out at an elementary school about half an hour away - but then I can skive off home and watches the Tuesday afternoon/evening matches.
Soccer Special

Did you see my brother's earlier message about the US v. Canada friendly tonight - 9pm on ESPN2.
It was supposed to be played today
I guess they moved it to Wednesday because Spurs playing on Sunday.... how did they do on Sunday???
Cheers, mate!
Uh - I believe that they got turned over by the greatest football team in all the land!
I did but I won't be around
I have my class and then I come back home and take Matt to footer
Link is being very annoying.. pausing all the time
There was a great photo of Gareth Bale trooping off looking dejected while a mascot dressed in an FA Cup outfit was poking fun at him about the size of his ears being like the handles on the Cup.
Could REALLY do with another QPR win today!
How's Tom settling in at Cortland?
Better link

GOAL...NICE EFFORT BY CABBAYE
Boy do Newcastle need this win!
What a strike by Cabaye! 2-0 - Newcastle cruising it - Villa right up against it now.
He's doing okay
Seems a little overwhelmed at the moment with school and footer.
He has a class with the team for speed and agility on Tuesday and Thursdays at 6:45 a.m.
He has a lot of pick up games too with the team
Did Tom send you the tentative date for the battle between the Red Dragons and Blue Devils?
Friday October 11, 2013
Still no goals in those two Championship matches.
Now Cabaye has a chance from a tasty looking free kick. Villa are rocking!
Comes off the top of the wall and is still in play.
Didn't see the line ups for this match
Do Newcastle have their new signings playing
MK Dons have tied it up at Yeovil
I didn't get that message from Tom but I appreciate the heads-up. I know that Gooner is keen to come up. I'll send the tentative date on to him. It's my dad's 90th birthday!
DISALLOWED GOAL- QPR 0-0 Man City
Manchester City have the ball in the net through Sergio Aguero, but the Argentine was clearly offside. The champions are starting to look a tad frustrated as they try and pick the lock.
October 11th is?
That's not good for a little reunion
We'll see...I'm not ruling it out.
Citeh have 70% of the possession!
QPR should have scored
N'Zogbia picks up a yellow card for shoving Cabaye.
Redknapp named three keepers in his squad tonight
One playing... two on the bench! Why?
He's daft?
Bristol City take the lead against Watford completely against the run of play
Villa can now swing a free kick into the box....Krul comes and collects.
Wahay - that's great for us.
Boos ringing round Villa Park now as the half-time whistle goes. 0-2 Newcastle.
Half time at Villa Park... good score for the Toon
Scoreless at Loftus Road... I'll take that
Stoke leading at hal
Scoreless at the SoL
We're back on at Villa Park with the home side getting us underway with two interval substitutes - Weimann and Agbonlahor.
And Weimann is straight into the action from the off!
Oh - Krul saves well from Benteke!
Oh - my lord! It's a penalty to Villa out of nothing!
Fairly soft there - Debuchy trod on Agbonlahor's toe and he went down as if shot.
Benteke to take...and scores
1-2 Game on!
All credit to Paul Lambert - a lot of managers stick with the starting XI until the 60th or 70th minute when it's too late. He's gone with two changes and they've brought him an immediate reward. Villa fans singing again.
Handbags now between Weimann and Gutierrez. The referee's calling them over for a "chat."
Gutierrez into the book for some backchat.
Cabaye fizzes a dangerous ball into the six yard box - Guzan collects.
Ags gets loose but can't find the right ball in.
Crouchy has added a second goal for Stoke at the Brittania.
2-0!
And Wigan have responded immediately through McArthur.
2-1!
Oh - Krul saves brilliantly again from Andy Weimann. Nearly 2-2 there.
Mike Dean struggling to keep a lid on this match now.
I am back after a skyping session between Kath and Tom
It is a rough and tough game right now
Wahay! Barnsley have taken the lead against Millwall!
Barnsley have taken the lead against Millwall
Bob's wishes are coming true
Wigan have tied it up at Stoke
Desmond
Yeah - Villa are giving it a go but the tackles are really flying in now.
Now it's Baker hacking down Debuchy - yellow.
COME ON RANGERS!!
First change from Pardew - Perch is coming off slowly to be replaced by Shola Ameobi.
He is taking ages to go off
Pompey drawing nil nil at home to Notts County... they are going to drop all the way down!
Bristol City are two up!!!
Oh - good move from Villa through Bannan and Weimann. Corner.
Wahay - Bristol City are 2-0 up!
Couldn't be going better in the Championship today.
United v Sotton is on ESPN tomorrow.. I think
It unfortunately seems that way. They'll have to sort themselves out and climb the tables again.
It's Arsenal v. Pool on FSC.
just wide by Villa.. but offside anyway
Oh - Benteke seemed to be in there but was ruled offside.
Guiffran's debut is over - Dutchman Anita is on to shore things up.
They won the Cup not long ago!
They had a news conference about a new stadium being built right at the water front.... what the hell happened
BARNSLEY TWO UP!!
Villa are now down in the relegation zone due to that second Wigan goal and their wretched goal difference.
Bottom two... two up
15 to go around the country... come on u R's!!!
Now it's Matt Lowton into the book for a reckless lunge.
Marvelous news out of the Championship today!
Villa now at risk of losing a player to a second yellow - five have been booked.
Sissoko comes off after an impressive debut - Yanga-Mbiwa coming on.
Arsenal Liverpool is on FSC tomorrow too
Just saw you posted the same thing...sorry
You've got to be happy that QPR are still holding Citeh. Would give you lot a chance to increase your lead to seven pts again.
No worries, mate.
great save by Julio Ceasar... keep it up
Bloody Hell... Notts County take the lead at Fratton
I bloody well hope so
Of course, United have to go there soon
Still no goals at the Stadium of Light either. Sunderland are satisfied with just nicking a point here and there.
I wish SS would stop staying Rangers are on course for a draw... there is still plenty of time
Newcastle to get their first away win in any competition this season
Villa have really given it a go this half
Citeh could have gotten a pen... not given
Too much yelling by Charlie Nicholas... zip it...just have nothing to comment on
nearly into stoppage time now at Villa Park.
What a rotten week this would be for Villa
Knocked out of both Cups by lower league teams and now this... on top of blowing a two goal lead to local rivals WBA
Massive scramble in the Newcastle box now - they've somehow survived.
Into stoppage time... FIVE MINUTES
Cisse will now run it into the corner flag. Five minutes to come.
Newcastle are giving the ball away needlessly now.
Newcastle just kadumphing it out
Notts County two up!
Yeah - one draw and three losses on the trot.
Hey.. give Villa credit.. they did actually beat Bradford 2-1 with a last minute goal!!
Ends scoreless at SoL
Blow up ref!!
Loftus Road need to turn the lights off.. it's bothering the neighbors
Krul misses a cross... goes out anyway
One minute of stoppage time left....Newcastle should just be able to hang on.
YES!!!
!
NIL NIL AT LOFTUS ROAD!!
Newcastle do get their first away win of the season
Newcastle hang on and Cisse walks off with the ball.
Massive victory for Newcastle - another terrible loss for Villa. How long can Paul Lambert hang on to his job?
Great stuff - Citeh now four points behind United but a match ahead.
Take care Bob
I am off to get ready for my class
Hope to talk to you tomorrow
TTFN
Those losses for Watford and Millwall keep them in sight of the mighty Leeds United who now have a game in hand.
Have a great class, mate!
