I don't see Houghton changing the team from the Everton one really. It's worked out really well with the result in mid week as the "rested" players now know that there is someone who is pushing for their place. Hopefully this will give people like nolan and perch a kick up the arse to play better than they have been! I'll say 2-1 to us!

Just been on SSN now http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12018_6359797,00.html

This to be fair. We haven't looked like a good side since Sanchez was in charge, a draw at very best I think!

Would love him here as he can cover right back as well. He sort of plays there for Algeria! Not a bad player but as for Smith going to Rangers? He's a massive fan but Rangers could never afford the wages.

The thing that staggers me is that although Old Trafford can hold 70,000+, how have we only been allocated 1500 or so tickets???

Pleased to see Paddy McLaughlin training with the first team. He played for the local boys club in my town before heading over to Newcastle. Really nice kid, quiet but a very talented midfielder.

This. Its stevenage all over again. Fucking hate when we get draws like this!

He's had a few good seasons at Rangers. As said before he does a lot of unselfish running as Boyd was a bit lazy. Weighed in with a few goals as well. Has got dodgy hamstrings and missed a few games this season but i think he still got into double figures. Works better with a large striker alongside him to be fair!

Or an adidas logo? Rangers are Umbro

I'd love Norwich away as thats where I live! Apart from that, Rangers maybe!

Has anyone mentioned George Best yet? Surely someone of his class, skill and talent, who pissed it all away before hitting 30 needs to be on this list. As a Northern Irish person, its just a shame he wasn't at the top for longer!

Larne is my home town! They have a reputation of being shit and not challenging for any titles in 30 years! But this is just nuts! Its only a small town and I can't believe they've been involved in something like this!

It sounds a bit stupid, but today i'm glad we're in the Championship just so that we can play this game. Will be a fitting tribute to Sir Bobby if we can get a win. I'm going for 2-1 to us, winner in last ten mins.

RIP Sir Bobby. Definately fitting that he got to attend his fundraising match. Will be missed always.

I'm still waiting on the thread going back to "nothing"! Just have no confidence in this club at the minute!

I don't know if this has been posted, feel free to get rid of this thread if it has! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7897642.stm Don't know what to make of it!

Got to see around the Executive boxes and all the function suites etc as well as dug-outs, changing rooms etc. Was 2 hours well spent for (i think) £12!

Candy floss stand?

please tell me u cut and pasted all that? lol!

Well some guy had just previously said that Arshavin had got number 15. He's got number 13

In the Eaton Cottage in Norwich! My housemate and myself have just finished 6000 word assignments so thought getting drunk is a good idea! Hope we win tho! Just cant wait!

We'll have one extra! lol! Got in Lovenkrands, Nolan and Taylor, Got rid of Insomnia and Given (possibly!) It's a start at least to "squad depth"

They've just said something like that on Radio 1 Newsbeat, only no fees mentioned! Zog away and we get Taylor plus cash! Personally.....i'm fucking delighted!
