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!

Jimiley, they just had that chance and let us off the hook.
With our dominance, we should be 2 up.
Isak needs to come on at halftime.

45 minutes done already?
What a transformation in Willock. He looks so composed and intelligent on the ball now.

I’m not really sure what Wilson is providing right now.

When was last time we scored in 1st half? When was the last time we had a player score double figures?
How many games have we not scored in 1st half?

We have controlled the game but had very little goal threat. The last few games we have not looked like scoring more than a goal.

From a FPL standpoint I think Isak should be introduced for the 2nd half!

Half time how I see it.
We looked really strong and organised and have hardly given them a kick. However, we haven’t really created anything. Need to be a bit sharper if we want to score.

Lots of anti Wilson sentiment today – I think he’s playing really well – he’s drawing the defenders into the center freeing up space on the wings – he’s so difficult to play – tricky dickie

Willock seems to be a better fit in front of Joelinton rather than vice versa…plays to both of their strengths and Willock even showing a couple moves and some nice drives with the ball into the box. Still not sure ASM offers more in this situation but will be a good sub when Willock tires as at least big Joe can offer cover.

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.
