He is wearing one on a photo in getty images.

Geremi probably Its unlikely that he's playing, as he didn't wear an orange bib in yesterday's training match. Don't get me wrong mate, I hope you're right because he deserves to be dropped, but this whole orange bib thing is a bit far fetched. Didn't you get it wrong the last couple of times you've predicted the line up with orange bibs? Only been wrong twice all season. The first time, I incorrectly assumed someone was not playing without any photographic evidence whatsoever, ie Smith was in an orange bib with three other midfielders, and I assummed he would be in midfield with Zoggy dropped, when it turned out that Viduka was injured, so Smith was playing up front, and Zoggy was on the left. The second time, it was after the England internationals, and we weren't playing till the Monday, so the photos of the training match taken on the Friday were likely to be messed up on that occassion, and I should have realised that.

Will be interesting to see who is named as captain for today.

Really? I like the lineup Elma posted but I still think its a little harsh on 2 or 3 players and Emre is one of those. I think you have to play Emre at home. > Unfortunately there is no room for him though if Sam wants Barton to get games.

Geremi/Emre are perhaps a little unlucky to lose out to Barton based on Reading, although Barton has extenuating circumstances that can only be solved by playing regular first team football.

So Beye, Geremi, Martins and Emre have all been dropped. Fair, or unfair?

EDIT: Rozehnal has a bib on. A yellow bib, not an orange bib. ...same as Enrique. Who wears an orange bib in another session. There seem to be two sessions on a Friday, one with orange bibs, one with yellow, and apart from the once (after internationals, game on a Monday), the orange bibs do seem to give a good indication.

This weeks 'Orange Bib' prediction: Harper Taylor Faye Cacapa Enrique Milner Barton Butt N'Zogbia Smith Owen

Its a 'Breaking News UPDATE' on .cock!!

He is said to have made disparaging remarks about certain Newcastle players to any average Joe he met in the pub, so I'm pleased to see the back of him.

Relocation of Leazes Terrace? Or of the whole club? I suspect (hope) you mean the latter. The latter. Ah, I retract my earlier comment in that case. Personally I don't see the problem, we are not desperate for a new stadium nor are we likely to be in the foreseeable future. Then I retract my reply. I'd agree to leave it as it is for now, but demand will increase eventually, for Newcastle is a thriving city right now, and the most important thing about a stadium for me is that everyone who wants to watch gets to watch.

If you're slightly detached from reality perhaps. Stadium changes/relocations often seem to face heated discussion amongst fans, so no changes are going to satisfy everyone. In that sense their are no ultimate rights or wrongs here, just opinions.

Trouble with stadium developments is that often those paying for it see it as their long term legacy, and dont take into consideration any capacity changes that maybe needed in the future once they've gone.

All the arguments on here point to relocation being the best option in the long term.

Oh yeah. In that case, it has to be Michael Essien.

The last three players mentioned can not play centre back by the way. Michael Essien is clearly head and shoulders above them all.

Damien Duff

No mention of CM in the OP though.... Doesn't mean he cant be a CM as well though. He is certainly a back-up right winger who can also play as a full back or centre half.
