It should be on Radio Five Live, so will be legally linked on the live text updates of the game on bbc.co.uk once the game starts.

Yes, I think we've all forgotten about the new house. Its a good point people will probably conveniently forget at the next opportunity.

If in the UK, and can't get to a pub, Radio Five Live Newcastle coverage is available on the internet (and on normal radio) Not from the normal Five Live site though, as that can't block out non-UK users. Instead, there will be a link from the BBC Sport website, probably found amongst the NUFC vs Spurs live text description.

That, and preparing to give a yellow for a last man foul, and then allowing himself to be talked into giving a red instead.

RIP

I would say Chopra hasn't done too badly. I'm referring more to players that didn't make it at Newcastle. Although Chopra wasn't much of a success for us, he did make it briefly.

Thats abit harsh Not really. If Berbatov likes Newcastle that much, knowing that we needed a Shearer replacement, I'm sure he was touted to us, and he eventually went to Spurs at a very good price.

Gary Caldwell at Celtic is probably the only youngster that made a success of himself since being released by Newcastle.

I trust Comical Ali more than I trust NUFC Blog.

Roeder was stupid not to sign him last summer.

Conclusion - You're a fruit. That was a case of me misreading the evidence, falsely assuming that Viduka was fit. This time, N'Zogbia, Butt, Barton and Shola almost definitely miss out, while Enrique, Taylor, Geremi, Owen and Martins almost definitely start. Want to bet on it? Your mod status if you're wrong. Seeing as your "almost" certain you won't have no qualms about it... Bets have to work two ways, and your internet persona has nothing to offer, so I decline. I'll be banned for a week. Stop trying to weasel out of it. I'm sorry, but I refuse to fuel your mission for self importance. A mission that is clearly motivated by a real-life angsty inferiority complex.

Just jealous I've worked it out tbh. I'd usually be 99% sure, but this weekend its 90%. Just be glad it isn't 100% as that would mean that Pattison starts.

Are you sure you aren't Mihir Bose? I read his blog on the BBC, and the two of you come across as very similar. Or would you say that these London ITK's inevitably have the same sources as these journalists? The ITK's spread the word, the journos usually pick the story up a day or two later. I know for a fact that's how the Mail gets their stories. De Cler for Davids for example?

Orange bibs has a 100% success record so far.

I've been predicting starting lineups this season using a Friday training orange bibs analysis. This week, its a bit difficult, as those who played on Wednesday plus a couple others have clearly been given a break, with reserves taking their place in the training match. I would however predict that Taylor, Geremi and Enrique start, while Butt, Barton, N'Zogbia and Ameobi miss out. Orange bibs may not work this week though, as a consequence of the international week plus the Monday night fixture messing up training schedules.

Chelsea are in real trouble in my opinion. Can see them failing to make top 4, and may even struggle for 5th or 6th dependent on the form of other clubs.
