Danny Guthrie hasn’t seen much action since Alan Shearer took over at Newcastle, but he has an outside chance of a starting berth against Middlesbrough on Monday night.
Danny Guthrie - outside chance of a start on Monday
And we have little doubt that Danny would produce the goods for Newcastle on Monday, unlike a lot of our older and more experienced players. He had a great start to the season, but has been injured and unable to get too many games since Kevin Nolan arrived at the club in January.
But Joey Barton is suspended and Alan Smith is only 50-50 for the game on Monday, so Alan Shearer could reshuffle his central midfield for Monday’s gamer.
Guthrie is now getting back to his full fitness after a hamstring layoff of nearly six weeks ago, and it looks like toe former Liverpool player is very anxious to play, as he talked to Newcastle United TV today:
“I feel strong now and it’s just a case of getting games,” “I want to play my part in these last three games and what is hopefully an escape from the relegation zone.”
“I just want to be out there. It’s frustrating when you’re on the sidelines, especially when results aren’t going your way.”
“I’m desperate to play and hopefully the gaffer will think I’ve done enough in training and the games I’ve played to win a place against Middlesbrough.”
“The two home games are massive and we always knew they would be,” “But especially this Middlesbrough one because they’re in the same position as we are. We’ve got to win, no doubt about it.”
“You have to keep believing we will get out of it and we will give it everything we’ve got.”
The impressive thing about Danny’s game is that like many players schooled at Liverpool, he very rarely gives the ball away, and right now he is a good and promising player for the club, and a good buy at just £2M last summer.
He simply needs more games, and we’ll have to wait and see how much confidence Alan has in the youngster, but we’d like to see Danny play some part in Monday night’s game.
Comments welcome.

For me he’s the only Midfielder I would keep next season (yes I’d even sell Jonas). At 21 Guthrie is a good English prospect that is a perfect squad player to have (not first 11).
2 kevheslop // May 8, 2009 at 1:09 PM
Not first 11, but a prospect – we need someone creative to play alongside a player of Guthrie’s energy and tackling ability….don’t have one, forget Barton he’s finished and not as good as we through he would be, Butt too old, Geremi not good enough, Smith not good enough etc. Even on the wings, Jonas flatters to decieve, Duff never quite lived up to hype, Lovenkrands not good enough etc. Our entire midfield needs an overhaul….we need a new Centre Half if not two, left back keeping Enrique as cover, and we need to replace Owen and Viduka up front regardless of whether we stay up or go down – so massive summer of changes regardless of which league we are in – I hope Guthrie stays, but only for potential.

kevheslop – You need to work on your capitalisation. What was your English GCSE grade? I’d ask if you did it at A Level or Uni, but well, let’s face it, you never did either, did you?
4 Whumpie // May 8, 2009 at 1:13 PM
Rather Guthrie than Nolan at the moment. Butt can look after the sensible, defensive stuff, but we need Guthrie and Jonas either side of him to get through the brick wall that the smogs will park across the middle of the pitch.
I don’t actually remember Guthrie having a particularly bad match – a few injuries, but a really positive attitude and an ability to keep the ball on the carpet next to a black and white shirt.
Posession in the middle is going to be what wins or loses the game on Monday, and I reckon this’ll do it:
—————Harper—————-
Beye – S.Taylor – Bassong – Duff
—Jonas——Butt——Guthrie
—————-Owen—————
——Viduka———–Martins
Options: Nolan for Butt, Carroll for Duke, Lua Lua for either Jonas or Guthrie – even Owen, but that would put us effectively back to 4-4-2.

24 bowburnmag // May 8, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Guthrie was pretty poor last time out, with some sloppy ambitious passing. Keeping it around the corners and to feet (Viduka’s) could work against Boro though. And he’s very tidy at the short passing game. I like him but he needs to improve and keep on improving.

How rubbish are Newcastle? Disgrace to the premiership this year and deserved relegation fight. Maybe one day you will step out of the shadows of boro or sunderland. Newcastle survive? Small ball in hells chance come to mind lol
33 JJJ // May 8, 2009 at 1:45 PM
If we did go down. Peter would be just the callibre of striker we’d need to keep us up.
Im trying to think of who would stay with us should that happen. And heres what Ive come up with….
(Krul)
————————–Harper————————-
(*Mancienne) (Tozer) (Edgar) (*Mattock)
R Taylor——-S Taylor——-Bassong——-Kadar
(*Delph) (*S Hunt) (*B Watson) (*Wilshere)
Lua Lua———Guthrie——-Butt———–Vuckic
(*Doyle) (Ranger)
————-Carroll——-Lovenkrans—————–
Subs: Krul, Tozer, Kadar, Ameobi, Ranger, Vuckic, Baheng, Inman.
(*) – represents the players I reckon we could sign or get on loan that would help get us back up…
We’d have to sell: Free – Owen (100k/w), 8Mil – Martins (80k/w), 3M – Duff (60k/w), Free – Viduka (60k/w), Sack – Barton (50k/w), 4Mil – Smith (50k/w), 5Mil – Coloccini (5ok/w), 5Mil – Jonas (40k.w), 4Mil – Beye (40k/wk), 5Mil – Enrique (35k/w), Free – Geremi (40k/wk), Free – Casapa (40k/wk). 2Mil – Xisco (20k/wk) Hopefully not Bassong….
Even if we stayed up I’d sell all of them with the exception of Martins, Duff, Beye and Enrique.
That would be about 34Mil pounds a year saved on wages, plus about 34Mil pounds recouped in transfers… So We’d get about 68Mil plus 30Mil from the FA as parachute drop to relegation.
Thats leaves us with the squad I’ve mentioned and 100Mil. So say 70Mil went into covering the costs of our relegation and 30Mil could be spent on players and their wages to get us back up…
I reckon with that we could buy players like Kevin Doyle (proven scorer in the championship), Steven Hunt, Joe Mattock, Fabian Delph, and get the likes of Mancienne and Wilshere on a years loan.
If we stay up, I’d bring in Crouch (ST), Downing (LM), Radek Sirl (DL), Darijo Srna (RM) and Silvain Distin (DC), Niko Kranjar and Michael Johnson.
Well not all of them but try for who we an get.
If we get the pick of those with premier league experience we’d have…
Those seven signings would cost about 40Mil though in total and I dont see Ashley spending that money on the team. So I only see the same situation of a relegation fight next year because honestly looking at it now… OUR TEAM IS SH!T, REALLY REALLY SH!T…
That would leave us…
————————-Harper————————–
Beye———Distin———–Bassong——-Enrique
Srna———Johnson——-Kranjar——-Downing
——————Crouch—–Martins——————
Subs: Krul, R Taylor, S Taylor, Edgar, Sirl, Lua Lua, Guthrie, Duff, Smith, Butt, Vuckic, Lovenkrans, Ranger…
That already looks like a top 8 side. But notice how we’d have to buy an ENTIRE new midfield that would take time to gel (shows how bad ours is at present).
Downing would be available if when Borough go down, and Crouch, Distin and Kranjar would all be wanting away from Portsmouth since HR left.
Radek Sirl would be excellent at either left wing back or left mid as would Srna on the right side cover both postitions.
Kranjar and Johnson would give creativity in midfield and Guthrie would cover.
Downing and Srna would give brillant width and delivery.
A fit Martins and Crouch would cause havoc for any defense. Both are hard to defend against.
Carew may be a cheaper option for Crouch if out of favour at Villa.
But hey, Im just trying create something in my mind where the future may look positive.
And as cruel as it sounds, as a true fan. If Ashely isnt willing to invest about 40Mil, or sell to someone who is. Then I honestly and truthfully hope we get relegated so that we can start from scratch.
Because if the ead wood that I mentioned below stay at our club then us staying up will only delay inevitable relegation – because our 80% of our players are not up to preniership standard.

39 JJJ // May 8, 2009 at 1:50 PM
And I agree James, I’d also only keep Guthrie, well, I’d keep Duff too, but as a squad player…
Jonas for me is simply no good, yes he can dribble and works hard. But his dribbles have NEVER amounted to anything (cant remember one goal but i do remember ALOT of losing the ball)…
Not saying he is a bad player, because he plays the wingback position well for Argentina, but at Necastle his dribbling is too often and therefore too predictable. If he learned to pass more and learned to shoot or whip crosses in we’d have a good buy, as it is, we have an illution of a good player.
Same with Colo, he cannot play CB in the premiership, as he is too slow on the turn, but maybe he could be used as DM in place of Butt, whose passing is probably th worst in the team and I cant understand why he is the one trying to make through balls when he just cant get it right…

Go on the football 365 forum, most fans of most clubs think Newcastle is a big club.
There is a reason for that…
Newcastle IS a big club… ie. there is a massive massive support base worldwide. Which means that even though the club havnt won anything in 40 years they are still in the top 20 richest clubs in the world.
You my friend have to work out the difference between a “big” club and a successful club.
Most Newcastle fans will admit that the club has massively under achieved, but that doesnt mean the club isnt a “big” one…
Or are you too stupid to work out that logic?

108 stevep // May 8, 2009 at 3:30 PM
51 times – that’s very funny, I’m afraid there’s no way Newcastle could survive as an independant state as we don’t generate enough cash. If this were to happen we’d need to get huge subsidies from the UK government (much like Scotland) in order we could provide basic services such as the NHS (or GHS (Geordie Health Service) – we’d end up like some 3rd world state man

dear me – 51 wtf are you going on about, I’m afraid that Newcastle can’t generate enough revenue to actually become an independant state, we’d have to give up on the NHS for a start,
We have no industry in Newcastle so we can’t actually produce anything.
China/India etc can provide manpower for a lot less than we’ll charge

You’re right there are smaller countries than us, here’s a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_percentage_of_population_living_in_poverty
Or are you suggesting that the North East suddenly reinvents itself as a global financial centre (hardly left wing) or that we just ditch money alltogether and just use a barter system

batty,
So, His value will be the same if not lower. Seb Bassong £250,000 or whatever. He will now be worth about £10M surely. Now that is a better signing than the ancient Beattie and who says they wouldnt have stayed up anyway considering the way they play. What im saying is, he should AT LEAST be in the top 50! Regardless of how well the club has played he has still be one of the top 10 signings of the season IMHO.
141 Big Dave // May 8, 2009 at 4:01 PM

142 stevep // May 8, 2009 at 4:01 PM
@51 – so now you’ve realised we can’t actually afford to have our own independant country and still have NHS, Dole, Pensions etc etc
mate the U.K government would have to heavily subsidise the north east (even more than they currently do) – NE wages would have to halve while taxes would have to rise in order to pay for our new government, that in turn would lead to young and talented people to move south in order to provide a better future for thier families etc
Afraid you need to start thinking this through rather than posting the first thing that comes into your head – I’m presuming you aren’t up for el presidento of the new nationalist state

Love to, but Ed. edits out anything that could embarrass him. (thin Skinned)
Looking forward to next season as nothing could be worse than the present one.
It will be interesting to see what Shearer acomplishes as I am sure he will continue, unless something radical takes place.
I believe there will be a massive cull of players, keeping only the few that we can build on.
Shearers reputation and the idea that to be a part of the new NUFC could be the place to be, may be an attraction to decent young talent.
Especially if our early signings are significant ones.
Yes it`s speculation, but could become a reality.
Face it we can`t continue with the horses we have and the wage bill they generate, its time to rebuild and perhaps break in some of our young talent.
For this to happen the likes of Llambias have to be kept at arms length and MA will have to provide sufficient funds.
There are no successfull PL teams that have not spent heavily other than Arsenal, if one can consider Arsenal a success ?
Heres hoping we can take all three points from Boro. and perhaps a win against Fulham and who knows.
Thing gonna be different next season you can take that to the bank!

Btw, back to NU fans.. not using ‘Nacho’ this season would be as stupid as this sounds: ‘getting a player fit for other club (Valencia)’. Because we all know, regardless whether we stay up or not, his time for Newcastle will be over and he won’t stay HERE.
So lets make us of him for these 3 games left, at least if we stay up his wages will be worth it.
203 chuck // May 8, 2009 at 8:21 PM
The truth of the matter if we are getting into history is that the majority of those living on tyneside are of Viking (norwegian) descent.
The area was for the most part settled by 1066 and in the main supported the Norwegian king Harald against the Saxon king Harold at the battle of Stamford Bridge (no not the football stadium)
Harold having won a decisive victory had then to undergo a forced march to face the invading Normans at Hastings. Where his luck ran out.
Otherwise everyone would now speak Norwegian, saying things like, “am ganning hyem” instead of I am going home.
So much for the socialist republic of Northumbria.
Genetic studies have shown the inhabitants of the home countries and Ireland are predominantly of Celtic descent.
With a teutonic mix.
