Newcastle take on the Toffees at Goodison Park this afternoon looking to keep the momentum going. The lads are coming off a terrific point against Manchester City while advancing to the Carabao Cup Round of 16 where they’ll take on Chelsea at St. James’ Park.

Everton too have a bit of momentum after getting their first win of the season against Crystal Palace last weekend. This will be a difficult test for the Magpies, who still struggle away from home.

This is the side Eddie Howe has named for today’s clash. It is the same team that drew 1-1 against Man City last weekend.

Taking all the spoils at Goodison would mean a comfortable international break on Tyneside. It will not be easy as the Toffees have played well and but for some late match collapses, would be in a much better place in the table.

Hopefully, this team can get the job done and Anthony Gordon can again play well up front in place of the injured Alexander Isak.

Howay The Lads!

If we play with the same effort as we did at City, Everton don’t stand a chance

Hi Magic! I’m great thanks mate.
Ye I agree an early goal vould set us up do nicely, we always play far better usually when we take the lead. Not an easy place yo get point from regardless of their position.
This could easily be a banana skin but I think we will do enough to get the win.

Gordon up front against a team with a low block won’t work. Think he will struggle tonight. He’s OK upfront against teams with a high line with loads of room to run into lik last week. But playing up front against a team that’s known for a low block with his back to goal is not his game. I would of started osula for his strength and link up play for this type of game with gordon and barnes on the wing. Think it will b a struggle for us tonight with Gordon up top.we’re known to struggle against teams that play with a low block.Not. unless Everton surprise me and actually come out and play abit. Head says draw heart says Toon win tho lol. Hopefully Gordon will score a hat-trick to prove me wrong lol.

Looks like Garner is playing right back for Everton. Should target that area to get in behind. Barnes should have the beating of him all match, especially with Hall overlapping.

Good 4-3 win for Hartlepool.
They had only 4 shots, 4 on target, 4 goals.
Must have been conserving their energy.

Rob to be honest I would be more than happy with a scrappy 1-0 victory mate, a win and 3 points is all that matters Rob.

Interesting team. Not convinced about Hall – I ‘ll wait and see how he does. He will of course drift upfield on the opposite wing leaving his defensive position vacant. The commentator even highlighted this the last game.
Gordon is the only real proven forward. He could score and we could see a curler from Barnes 3 -1 to the Toon.

Some woeful passing from Trippier so far.
Ref not giving Everton 2 yellow cards.
Need to clear our lines more effectively.

That was a shot across the bows and a let off, we need to tighten up, and be particularly aware of those runs from Calvert-Lewin who looks very dangerous today.

Will Gordon go into a slump for the match now? Or will it rile him up more.

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
