Nah, don't think any of the players do. Bah, right before the edit

Doesn't Toon Army Mia post on here?

What is the basis for this statement? Toon Army Mia posted that photo tonight. But really that photo is more than likely from the US tour.

But like I say, I refuse to believe this. For me, he will start tomorrow and lead the team out of the tunnel at St. James'.

It's not just on twitter In that case, I refuse to believe any reports talking about this.

I refuse to believe that tweet.

Regarding the latter part of that tweet, I reckon Forster could be off...... Quite a shame if so, simply because I would have liked to have seen him and Krul battle it out for the number 1 shirt. Although, he's been poor in pre-season, still don't think that's a true indication of anyone's abilities. However, if those that pick the team don't deem him good enough, then fair enough. Indeed, but really as it stands Krul is the number 1. Forster will be more than likely on the bench for the majority of the season imo so really it might be best for Forster to move on if he wants to improve/become a top keeper in the future.

This sounds like a good plan. As it stands, Krul will be/is the number 1 at NUFC, so Forster will be more than likely on the bench. If the lad wants to improve, he needs to be starting games.

Think Harper's got some sort of knee injury.

Regarding the latter part of that tweet, I reckon Forster could be off......

Excellent.

I suppose not

Yep, Souness brought Terry Mac back.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if we're still trying to sign him......

Or it could be another Neil Taylor situation. In any case, I'm still confident we'll bring him soon enough....

Pardew said he will pick the team today so im guessing the lads know. Barton seemed to be in a fairly chirpy mood after training. Im putting two and two togther and saying he's playing Will give everyone a massive lift if he does.

After some tweaking, I think I now have a final team: (4-3-3) Hart Coloccini Enrique Clichy R Ferdinand Barton N'Zogbia Yaya Toure Bent Rooney © Ba Subs: Fulop, Duff, Whitehead, Hughes

Ah yeah, thanks for reminding me

My team (3-5-2): Hart Jagielka Clichy R Ferdinand Bale Yaya Toure Duff Barton N'Zogbia Rooney © Ba Bench: Fulop Beckford Coloccini Hughes
