SUPERTOON

Interested to see how Blackpool approach this. Never seen them play tbh, but they took Wigan apart in the CC, and they will see us as an opportunity for another giant-killing. Not sure if they will come all out, or be more defensive. Either way, i can see this being our most difficult match so far this season.

There is a big difference between being fit, and being match fit.

Good news. Go 442 with Barton and Guthrie in Midfield, Ranger and Loven up front. No chance of this happening like, especially tonight. It will be 4-5-1 with Butt in for Smith and Ranger upfront on his own.

Would love to get Kamara and Cousin in. The sooner the better though.

A full fixture list from the championship and champions league tuesday-wednesday. I love midweek football.

Another tough away trip, and a real introduction to the championship. Holloway will have them fired right up, as will their fans. Tough game.

Fulham struggling this season, after last season's great form.

Great result, can't see many teams beating them at their place this season.

Would be a decnet signing at this level. Him and Cousin and we are looking alot stronger.

Chopra will anihilate Simpson man, pace is nowt to do with it. Chopra will be thwarted by intelligence Your statement makes no sense. Our defense is Premiership quality, Chopra is not, this is why we've conceded so few goals this season as most players they've come up against are not premiership quality. How on earth is the part in bold relevant? Simpson has only played CB in 2 games we conceded 3 against League 1 opposition when we had Simpson at CB. It wasn't entirely Krul's fault Coloccini has to return, is all i'm saying Will he be back in time after internationals?

It doesn't say he is expected to sign today. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/09/11/alan-smith-i-won-t-shave-until-newcastle-lose-61634-24661508/

They could be out for a while though, surely he has other targets?

Gary Megson will allow defenders Nicky Hunt and Danny Shittu to quit Bolton on loan. Any takers?

Doubt it tbh, they have Brown, Fabio and Rafael to cover the RB.

That is every CB Spurs have now injured.

Despite our good start, things will get alot harder, starting on Sunday against Cardiff.

Best thing is going into every game knowing we have a chance of winning.

Just read that Abramovich wants to back Platini and his plan to allow clubs to only spend what they make. Basically going against what Man City are doing. He must be forgetting that he started all this off.

It was something to do with him recently having knee surgery a few months ago i think.

Ye I seen SS are carrying this as well. Saying he will now sign on loan instead. SS?

Anyone see Richard Dunne's interview? They asked him what happened at Man City, and he said they told him that they had to sell him because they needed the money.

Still don't really understand it tbh. Championship clubs have always signed players on short term loan deals, and we are not the only club who has said we will use it.

The Journal reckons we will sign Harewood, plus a defender and winger on loan next week. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/09/04/newcastle-united-target-three-loan-signings-61634-24604460

It's hardly unfounded tbh.
