How pathetic is that!?! Exactly, no need to leave. You can still boo him when he's on the bench.

Like this ^^^ although Cahill may replace Laursen (who went off at half time on Saturday), and Carson will probably replace Taylor (although he had a blinder on Saturday). Agbonlahor is wasted wide right. Personally, I'd play Carson New RB Cahill Mellberg Bouma Young Reo-Coker Gardener Barry Moore Agbonlahor How do you think you'll get on mate?

I'd be delighted with Diouf to replace Solano and Dyer. If we could get him for around 5 mill that'd be awesome.

I think we'll see those players, but in a 4-3-3. No matter how well Butt played at Bolton, I don't think there is any need to play him in this match. Harper Carr Rozehnal Taylor Enrique Geremi Smith N'Zogbia Milner Martins Viduka

What can I say? I'm excited And three goals away from home in one game for us = on fire

A few Villa fans predictions off Villa Talk: "2-2 for me. I think we will sign 3 players this week and give the team a lift. We should definately drop Gabby and put Luke uo with Big John and go 4-4-2. Not sure what anyone else thought yesterday, but I though Gabby was poor." "We will win this 3-1!" "Newcastle 3 - 0 Aston Villa - More pressure on MON" "I think we will win this one. There was a lot of expectation and pressure on the players on Saturday and they seemed to play with a real nervousness. They wont have this at St James park and will show what they are capable of. 2-1 Villa" ---------------------------------------------- Personally, I'd be disappointed with anyting less than a win. We're on fire at the moment and to be fair Liverpool should have had four or five against this lot. Have to be careful we don't get complacent though. My main worry is Ashley Young skinning Carr all day long. Can see us going with a similar team to the Bolton match, maybe bringing Enrique in.

They join at round three.

How helpful! Prices bumped up two quid. We are the away team tbh. I paid three quid the last time I went to a Blue Star game. This is their first game at Kingston Park as the home side, so you can't compare it to any previous games. I can and I will. Well you're an idiot. Shaddit

Wednesday Very winnable competition. Hope we take it seriously.

Disrupting flow of game/causing unrest in home ends and winding down the clock. We were 3-1 up and comfortable, if they were allowed to build any momentum however, things could have become extremely uncomfortable. He did what I'm in no doubt was expected of him, from the bench. To go and jump all over Faye and be a complete nuisance in the most crudest of ways. Its a fair point like. But at the same time, youve gotta question why the hell cant he bust a gut more when running-jogging, altho thats the point, its not running, he just jogs. Im not saying why isnt he fast, but simply when have you seen him actually sprint?? I backed his case for a while personally and thought he got unfair stick to begin with, but he has had so many chances to shine since bieng here and hasnt taken them, he's been so poor for so long now imo, its crazy he's still here. Never seen Viduka sprint... I think people are being extremely harsh here, he came on for a few minutes, he's hardly figured in pre-season and hasn't played much football at all for more than 6 months, and people expect a player who isn't quick to start with, to start sprinting about chasing things? You obviously didn't watch the match on Saturday then. Made a few darting sprints withthe ball at his feet down the middle of the pitch.

Thought that set was quality.

On Radio Newcastle yesterday, one of the commentators said that the music we come out to HAS been changed, though while they said that Going Home was no longer going to be played, they did not say what was going to replace it. So, we will no doubt find out on Saturday. Shame, I liked Dire Straits and Going Home!! But there-ya-go. I love it. It's a shame if it's gone.

28 is when players hit their peak, the exceptions being defenders which is 30/31. I don't see what harm at all there is in buying players a couple of years from their peak, or currently at their peak. We now have a mix of older players, Butt, Nobby, Viduka etc who can bring on players like Taylor, Milner, Carroll etc. Superb signings.

Very.

Rooney has fractured his foot. Out for a month.

1207: Arsenal respond well. Arsene Wenger strokes his chin in a rather menacing manner. Beeb

Have to say Jaaskelinan was pathetic for our third goal Quality first half performance. Bolton came out all guns blazing in the second half and scored a very good goal. But after that we contained them well as they pressed to get back in the match. Chuffed with the performance but still many ways we can improve.

------------------------Viduka ----Martins-----------------------------------Milner -----------Butt-------Smith------Geremi N'Zogbia-----Rozenhal----Taylor---------Carr ? Aye, but swap Butt and Smith.
