Newcastle are back at St. James’ Park today with a potentially revealing test against Tottenham. Eddie Howe has named the following eleven for the clash which has four changes from the midweek Carabao Cup win at Forest.

This is a strong team with Howe once again naming a front three of Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, and Anthony Gordon. Getting the trio clicking in front of net is vital after not strengthening the attack in the summer transfer window.

This is the team Ange Postecoglu has named. It’s a rare start for former Juventus and Genoa defender Radu Dragusin in the place of the injured Micky van de Ven.

A win and all could be well again on Tyneside. The Magpies are undefeated and three points takes them into the top five ahead of the first international break of this season.

Howay The Lads!

Kelly having a very decent game so far. Odobert is an absolute handful and he’s managed him well. Unleucky to be booked.
Too many bookings in first half and that could come back to bite us.

Longstaff with 5 tackles. The rest of the team have 3 between them.
Quietly getting on with business.

Kelly best player of the half so far, been solid and been good on the ball. Odobert is a sticky customer but he’s kept him quiet and popped up everywhere.
I know we’re used to smashing Spurs, but they’re a decent team. Think we’re playing pretty well and clearly worked on our defensive shape to try and nullify Spurs’ attack. Working well and we’re a great threat on the break.
Keep it up and can easily grab a second on the break second half.

Three of Fenham’s brownshirts posting answers there’s only one of ’em showing any signs of intelligence and life in the real world.
Mund, Tuff, you’ve a lot to do emulate The Ledge!

Think it’s howes strategy holding us back most games. We get out of the first third ok but too many home run balls to wingers or isak that get snuffed out rather easily. It’s not a possession based style but a swing for the fences every touch of the ball style.

My happiness at getting Kelly is well founded.
Started slowly and let two crosses come in but grown into the game well. Hall has a fight for the shirt.
Gordon still doesn’t look right though.
Was his head turned?

Commentators saying that was an incredible challenge but not really. Clipped Isak, not the ball.
Soft, I know, if it had been given.

Tonali needs to come on for Longstaff or Joelinton
Crowd needs a lift and those 2 are making some risky tackles
Need some way to keep possession

Possession must be 90% Spurs for last 10 mins. Didn’t even realise Bruno was playing until he gave away that foul

8th February, 2024

An update on my health situation - we have terminated the PluVicto treatment halfway through, because of the severity of the side effects - diarrhea, vomiting, and acid reflux.

And there was no evidence the treatment was having any positive effect in stopping the prostate cancer from spreading in the bones.

There are no treatments left for me to go on.

I will go into home hospice care now and will have a hospice nurse visit me at home regularly to ensure I am as comfortable as possible and we will treat the side effects of the treatments I have had.

It's down the final stretch now, and I have run out of treatments, and nature will now take its course.

I hope Newcastle can get many wins this season from now on, and I am at peace with all of this.

Thanks for all your help through the years - it's very much appreciated
