Alan Pardew has named seven changes for Newcastle United’s Europa League fourth qualifying round – second leg tie – against Greek side Atromitos tonight.
Surprisingly the Newcastle manager has started a very strong side, and Tim Krul and captain Fab Coloccini are both in the starting ljne-up.
With the next game not being until Sunday afternoon and Newcastle keen to get two wins under their belt, Pardew lasso starts Danny Simpson and Demba Ba.
Gael Bigirimina, who played so well last week keeps his place in central midfield, and it looks like Dan Gosling will partner the 18 year-old old in the center of the park.
But James Tavernier, who struggled against Amotros goalscorer and top player last week – Denis Epstein – sees himself on the bench, along with other youngsters Haris Vuckic and Adam Campbell.
It looks like Alan Pardew wants to take no chances tonight and wants Newcastle in the pot for tomorrow’s group draw in Monaco.
Newcastle will be wearing their new lime green strips – so let’s hope they dazzle us tonight!
Howay The Lads!!

Charles green bought rangers for just under £5 million so how much do you think 10% if that cost MA?

Comment #902 and 2 together in football adds up to 5 however, Nigel De Jong in talks with AC Milan. Steady yourselves for a potential bid from City for Tiote if Mancini cannot get De Rossi?

Comment #92Ochy….Did you miss it a couple of weeks back? Things got a little nasty and a few people, all of whom generally make good posts, would have been wise to step back from their keyboards and show their maturity. No one did and Jimmy left forever. Thankfully, he has returned and love has surrounded us all. Hurrah!

Comment #99Pardew looked pissed off wen he was being interviewed by the woman on ITV4. Looks like stuff have been going on behind scenes that has go to do with transfers which has pissed him right off and angry. Leaving that, abeid did play for the reserves so he wont br playing today, pardew see’s something in gosling?? Which I do not see at all rather then a poor player. Obertan is improving just needs that confidence boost from us fans cheering him on. HWTL!!

Unfortunatly that seems to be the way our fans react these days everytime any club in the world make a transfer its obvious that we our bound to sell all our players its the only logical explanation

Comment #109Chipping in on MA’s investment into rangers shows that he is a very astute businessman. Superb opportunity to achieve big returns for SD with very little outlay. No NUFC Ltd money will have been involved as this is a SD venture.
As for match, super respect being shown for Fletcher, pitch looks perfect and it’s a strong line up with a decent crowd.
Toon win for me 3-0 and into Europa proper along with a few twists before 11pm tomorrow
