Spursfangin… Nice to see a comment like that from a spurs fan, since most i have seen directed at NUFC have been very arrogant

I think Big sam will want a lot of hight in the game so i dono if he will go for a Butt-Emere pairing in the middle I would considere putting Fay in place of Butt and put Rosz in with Cacapa as the central defenders. That should give us a solid back line and hight in the middle of the field to win the areal balls from thir half. It should also give the strikers a target if Fay can push forward on ocation.

Well fellas it should be a craking game and i am counting down the seconds until the live comantary starts..

Spurs fan here,

Jol has alot of respect for Newcastle and I think that his point was not that the two teams are in different leagues but rather that his success should be appreciated against the underperformance of strong rivals around us.

In any case the game will be very tight and the fixture is very well balanced. In fact there probably is no other evenly matched set of teams in the whole league. Both teams have world class strikers, quality midfielders and promising youth. Though Spurs and Newcastle have not set the world alight this season so far, the potential to climb the table is there for both.

In honesty I think you will beat us today, considering our tendancy to screw up away and Martins’ great record against us. That being said, at the end of the year I do fancy us to have leapfroged above.

Hope Berba punishes you this evening but good luck for rest of season.

Rich, Love that team mate..Perfect….

Given
Beye Roz Faye Enrique
Milner Geremi Emre N Zogbia
Owen Martins

Subs: Harper, Taylor, Butt, Barton, Cacapa

I would start with this team purely becasue if Cacapa n Viduka are doubtful i see it pointless risking them when we have adeqaute cover in both positions.

harper
beye taylor rozehnal enrique
milner emre butt n’zogbia
owen martins
subs; given geremi barton faye cacapa
id start harper because given seemed a little shakey and i think he needs to realise that he must play constantly good or let harper have a shot.
faye on the bench and not startin in defence because he can play in idfield also if we need him, let taylor and rozehnal have a chance to prove themselves that they have improved since man city. Give the captains armband to butt or emre, personally emre because he has theres a good influence about him and he drives the team forward all the time.

He better not start Butt n Geremi in teh middle again we are sick to the teeth of discussing this!!Emre is a differnet class compared to these two n must start Emre n Geremi or Butt for me and im happy! Then bring on a cameo Joey Barton performance!!

Harper hasn’t made single mistake so far. I would pick him rather than Shay !!

Picking the team for Big Sam is getting really really hard these days… Witch is always a good thing..

He might also go for:
Given
Beye Cacapa Faye Enrique
Milner Geremi Butt Nâ€™Zogbia
Emre
Martins

It’s a test for us tonight – no doubt about it – but we’ll see just how good we are – a win is certainly possible.

ToonKing – well I once forecast a draw – away to Man City – and before that every game was forecast as a Newcastle win.
What do you expect

Haway man – you’re right about that game – they were so flat.
