RandoEFC 3,503 Posted August 15, 2018 Classic game to fulfil the quota of games for two teams that no neutral wants to watch in one go. Except me, I'll still watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Palace Fan 1,579 Posted August 16, 2018 I feel a bit sorry for Cardiff City reading over the last match day thread. They are no where near as bad as people are suggesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebird Hewitt 452 Posted August 16, 2018 Got to win this methinks. Yes it's only the second game of the season but after Huddersfield, we have Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City. Unfortunately, we also have a terrible record against Newcastle. Hoping that Zohore is fit for Saturday. We can't lump it long to Reid and expect him to do much with that.

Lucas 1,453 Posted August 17, 2018 Seeing as Newcastle conceded both goals from headers last week, Cardiff won't need asking twice to get it in the mixer. Can see a Warnock special here and big pressure exerted on Newcastle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much consideration for the travelling fans, Or the home fans, saw an article on the BBC where half the premier clubs could still make a profit playing before an empty staduim.

Bluebird Hewitt 452 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Happy with the line up except at right back. Benitez will be wanting to target Manga as he's not particularly quick and isn't his best position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
