Doubt it. Routledge and Guthrie will be the wingers IMO. Vuckic isn't the most mobile and has been shunted onto the wing before. Playing him in the middle of a 4-4-2 against Arsenal alongside Smith is just asking for trouble.

I'm almost certain it'll be Vuckic on the left & Routledge on the right.

I was on the way home from work tonight and thought "fuck, no football tonight....nevermind it'll be back next week." But of course it fucking won't be, because we lose two weeks for this shit. Two fucking weeks! Fuck off internationals.

2 up front and we'll win. 4-5-1 and we won't. Nolan in centre midfield in a 4-4-2 will be a fail as they'll pass round him all day. Work it out Chris.

ESPN has Ben Arfa on the right and Jonas left.

Could be a lot worse. Carroll probably wouldn't win a lot off Kompany anyway.

Krul; Perch, Coloccini, Williamson, Enrique; Gutierrez, Tiote, Barton, Ben Arfa; Nolan; Ameobi.

I bet Hughton's had one of his brainstorms and the team has many changes. Daft things like Ryan Taylor and Alan Smith. I dread the confirmation now.

The source for Carroll being sub is 5 Live btw

Capello's quotes confuse me: Contradictions o'clock

Carroll was poor against Stoke but if it's Shola who's in...Shola is poor against everybody (bar his one good game in ten)

Dempsey

Due to your lack of centre halves it seems Harry didn't want Corluka to be beasted by Heskey so went with Huddlestone at centre half.

Scholes in the Man Utd team. You crafty cunt Ferguson, made him my third sub due to his "10 day injury"

We're below Wigan

Bet365 live odds at halft time. "Wigan to win 3-0 20/1" Good fucking luck Ray Winstone

You're not exactly a shrinking violet though Sned [/McCarthy]

Really depressing when the first team in your accumulator goes down to ten men inside 10 minutes.

Good lad Ivanhoe

5th, we have 7, Man City in 4th have 11.

Their midfield of Whitehead Diao Whelan Etherington is...less threatening than it might have been, tbh. Salif Diao ffs. Wilkinson is going to kick fuck out of Ben Arfa

I love Hughton's ultimate attacking benches. "What's that, Sol can't make the bench? Get Nile on instead."

Delap & Faye only subs, lovely

Weird that Radio Newcastle's build-up hasn't started, musn't be capable of 1 hour and ten minutes of pre-match.
