The reason for not starting beye in taylors place is? International break - two games in a foreign continent, resulting in jet lag (Yes I know Martins and Geremi will also have done this, but with Barton still recovering we need Geremi, and Martins has earned his place). He's also not used to our league yet and barely knows any of the players at all. Totally not fitting in with Sam's policy of gradually phasing the players who are new to this country into the team. He'll be an automatic choice comfortably I reckon but, like Enrique, I can see him not playing a lot of games for his first month at the club.

If no injuries on international duty... Given Taylor Cacapa Rozehnal Enrique Milner Butt Geremi N'Zogbia Martins Ameobi Subs: Harper Beye Barton Owen Viduka Reason for dropping Owen is he's just recovered from an injury and he will no doubt play 180 mins for England. Probably best not to burn him out. Martins also deserves to start IMO. Ameobi deserbes a run out as well I reckon. Played well against Barnsley and Wigan. Deserves at least 45 mins to see what he can do.

Yes please, bring it back asap. Make sure the club knows the results of this poll btw.

No because too many people don't know the right words. Too Many people sing it too fast, and too many people don't know the second/third/etc verses. If the song was already playing then the tempo would already be set, I don't think it's too much to expect people to pick the words up either. Fair points, but it is far more up-tempo than those previously mentioned. Even Hey Jude would be alright, so that LALALALA Geordies bellowed out a few times.....? I reckon that sounds shit when other clubs do it. Sounds miles better when it's just the fans. I vote cut the music a quarter to, then at 3 or 4 mins two, announce the teams, then O Fortuna (Carmina Burwhatever), PL theme tune then Local Hero.

But they can influence what he writes by banning him completely from NUFC.

Wrong. Myth. So so wrong. Not when as was the case with Milner he was carrying the ball himself and being stood up by a defender. You are only best advised to whip in a cross first time if you're running onto the ball; i.e. when the ball has been played into space and the defence are on the back foot, NOT when you yourself are carrying the ball and being stood up by an opponent as was the case (again) with Milner at the weekend. He did the right thing. You're criticising Milner for doing what is the correct thing to do, what he will have been trained to do since he was a bairn. BTW you do realise defenders are trained to deal with early crosses while strikers are trained to deal will all kinds of crosses (as are defenders like), it is called variation and where crossing is concerned there is no real definitive right and wrong thing to do. Can you name me the other wingers that turn on themselves 3 or 4 times in a game before getting a cross in if it's the right thing to do? Robert Vs Blackburn in the 5-1 game. Cut back on himself four times, until it was the right time to cross. Nobby was unmarked at the back stick and simply nodded it in.

Agree with both of them. A Newcastle TV channel would be brilliant, especially if it was able to show reserve games live, interviews with players, staff, classic matches etc. Local Hero needs bringing back too This. Absolutely spot on.

1 and 4, especially. Oh, and fans to be expelled from the ground if they sing that "we are the Geordies/the Geordie Bootboys" shite. And get rid of Carling from the bar. Its rank. Carling is here to stay i'm afraid, just signed the deal with them now. Get rid of the fluffy mascots, don't bring in music after goals etc... Bring back Local Hero. Get rid of Alan Oliver in all forms.

Quality. Think i'm off to the match

Anyone know how bad his injury is? Will he be fit to play for Turkey on Saturday?

The Journal saying the deal is official now. NEWCASTLE officials have confirmed Albert Luque’s move to Ajax. The Journal revealed last week that the Spaniard had agreed a three-year contract with the Dutch club.

What an awful, awful post. sorry but the truth can hurt get a hug from your mum The truth can hurt can it? Ok, here's a truth for you. Someone, namely Aston Villa, did want to buy James Milner for £5,000,000. Pick up a couple of paracetamol for the pain on the way out.

Watford away in the cup. Was a decent enough penalty that was well saved.

Why not Shola? If he is on the pitch, he is our best penalty taker IMO. Why not Milner? He will be on the pitch more than Shola and he seems to be a very good penalty taker. Don't recall discounting Milner.

What an awful, awful post.

5-0

Aye. Our set pieces in general have improved shit loads. Practise... Practice...

Aye. Our set pieces in general have improved shit loads.

Two in a minute for Real. Stunning.

Beautiful free kick there by Sneijder.

For me, he always seems to be using his brain to be two steps ahead of the play, which is often just as effective as raw pace.

One of the first names on the team sheet for me. I think he's quality.

Couldn't look down two threads...

Why not Shola? If he is on the pitch, he is our best penalty taker IMO.

No idea. Please tell. To Kirkland, I suppose? He was very good. Guardian, gave it to the other Wigan CB, not Shiteus. The one that fell over to let Owen in on goal
