This is the team we are predicting Steve Bruce to select for tomorrow’s match at Bournemouth. It has six changes from the FA Cup quarterfinal.
Steve Bruce admitted there would be changes during his press conference this morning. With four games in eleven days, he’ll have to start thinking about giving some players a rest.
In our prediction, Bruce will rest Allan Saint-Maximin, Isaac Hayden, and Javier Manquillo, who have started the last three matches. The head coach is also likely to go back to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Andy Carroll retains his place, and Joelinton comes in on the left for Saint-Maximin. Miguel Almiron returns to the number 10 role and is one of four Magpies who will play four straight matches in our prediction. The others are all defenders in Danny Rose, Jamaal Lascelles, and Federico Fernandez.
Matt Ritchie still isn’t back to full strength after coming off against Aston Villa, so this is the perfect time to give Valentino Lazaro a game on the right.
Nabil Bentaleb gets his first start since the league resumed coming in for Isaac Hayden. Jonjo Shelvey returns to the midfield after resting against Manchester City.
Emil Krafth comes in for Manquillo at right-back. He still has not played since injuring his ankle at Everton in January.
Of course, Martin Dubravka resumes his place in goal in what would be his 82nd straight start in the Premier League for Newcastle.

Aye you’re correct a lot of perfectly good words have been removed from there original context and not really able to be used as they were intended.
Hope that Toon is never taken up by the alternative communities! 🙂

Most of that team were in the listing I mentioned when someone asked us to mention players from when they started watching the Toon. I was in the forces when that game was played so missed it! 🙁

99.9% of the tine when somebody uses the word “curious” they are not referring to sexuality.
99.9% of the time when somebody uses the word “queer” they are referring to sexuality.
I pointed this out first time around so I have no doubt that Anglo knew exactly what he was saying and precisely the connotations.
“Gay” used to mean happy but if Anglo had come on and said “look at this gay vegan” would anyone have thought “he means happy?” Not a chance.

Comment #19KV
It’s not homophobic, though. The bacon, lettuce and tomato community have “reclaimed” a word that never belonged to them in the first place. I’m fed up with people looking to be offended by stuff. And yes, I genuinely believe it was meant in its proper sense when it was used to describe you, since you have not said anything at all that would lead people to think you were gay. I’m not saying that I think you’re strange, but that’s how it was meant.
People get hung up on labels these days.

It was intended as offensive either way, so I wasn’t “looking to be offended”. Either interpretation is offensive. Just one moreso than the other.

I think an announcement will be made on Friday so we can all go out and celebrate on Saturday when the pubs reopen.

Comment #32If anyone still has any doubts, in the first instance Anglo said:
“Why do I get the feeling that the QUEER BOY grinds your nuts.”
With the words “queer boy” in block caps just as I posted it there and a reference to “grinding nuts”. There is absolutely no way this was anything other than a comment on sexuality.
