This is the team Eddie Howe has named for this evening’s match at Crystal Palace. It is an unchanged eleven from last weekend’s win against Fulham with Bruno Guimaraes passed fit to start.

Eddie Howe’s selection decision has been taken out of his hands with Bruno’s quick recovery from his ankle injury. The bench is again a strong one with Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak in reserve. Elliot Anderson also returns after missing last weekend

Here is the team Patrick Vieira has selected for the Eagles.

Newcastle can reclaim third place with a result today. The task will be difficult especially if Palace show up. The lads have risen to the occasion time and again. Another three points would be gargantuan heading into the cup semifinal next week.

Howay The Lads!

Very close there. Almiron would have buried that one a few months ago.

Not bad so far. We seem to be playing a little better than the last 3 games beforehand.

I love Longstaff but he is consistently giving the ball away and is the clear weak link in this team. it seems like I’m complaining about him ever single game without fail.
We need to replace him in that starting 11, he’s a great squad player though.

We’ve come into the game well.
Once again, great recovery from a giveaway. That’s the hallmark of this team.

We have to keep this up now and don’t start going stale and dropping off our level. If we start slowing down it’s going to end up another 0-0. Playing well so far, keep it up.

We’re controlling the game a bit now, Joelinton should have scored there though. He really needs to put his foot through the ball, usualy scuffs the balls and rarely hits the ball cleanly.

Wilson has been in bad form for a while, Isak should be starting this game TBH.

17 February, 2023

I have an update on what's happening with my treatment for prostate cancer.

Last week, my oncologist called me late in the day and said he thought it was best to terminate my treatment with radium 223 dichloride because it was having such a negative effect on my health - specifically my digestive system.

I had completed 3 of the planned 6 infusions.

They had looked at the bone scans and three CAT scans I had early last week, and they showed no signs of the cancer spread being slowed or stopped: in fact, it was continuing to spread and my PSA account continued to rise.

The only treatment left now is to go back and have another bout of chemotherapy with docetaxel being the medication used.

I understand this will be a 7-month job with 10 sessions 3 weeks apart - almost double my first chemo treatment in Apil 2017, when I has 6 treatmnts.

The problem I have is that I'm in a very poor physical state right now, due to my digestive system being basically torn apart by the radium 223.

The radium 223 has leaked into my digestive system and caused me to have severe diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn, and it was (is) very serious.

They said it was too dangerous to proceed with the radium 223 treatment, with little benefit being shown.

I am also suffering from severe exhaustion, basically, because I have zero testosterone, and all the treatments I've had for the cancer, have further lessened the energy available to me.

It reminds me of the saying that if cancer doesn’t kill you - the treatment will (laugh).

It will probably take up to 8 weeks to get back to a physical state where I can start chemotherapy, and that's where I am now, but the cancer continues to spread in the bones.

I've also been put in touch with the dietitian from UNC Healthcare, who will help me get back my health - she is very helpful.

So that's where it stands it's been quite a journey over 12 years and I think I've had almost every treatment available.

It has really taken a toll on my body and on my energy, but that's where it stands and obviously, I'll do the best I can in the upcoming months with chemo and hope I can get through it.

It is as it is - and another challenge in life.
