where's the fukken team news

I think our chances tonight heavily depend on how well Shola does. I think if he's on form we'll win.

Shola to score in an NUFC win 9/2 (great value imo) Obertan 1-1 scorecast 95/1 Vuckic 2-1 scorecast 80/1 Maritimo HT / NUFC FT 25/1

Harper Tavernier Williamson Perch Ferguson Obertan Bigirimana Gosling Marveaux Amalfitano Shola Gonna need a big performance from Ameobi Sr. here imo. I'd quite like to see Sammy and Campbell get some minutes too.

That has been coming for ages, they've totally not picked up Marcelo all night long.

Couldn't resist a £2 on Yaya anytime either, 5/1 is an insanely good price.

He's really good in the play-breaker role, completely different sort of style in that position to Tiote but does almost as effective a job when he's on form.

I'm very impressed at his reaction to being dropped. Superb half from Demba.

Mark Chapman on 5live says Ba looks like he's coming on.

Sounds like absolute crap, although we've steadied it a bit as the half has gone on and had a few chances. We're still only 1-0 down, and hopefully if we can alter this at half time and Pards can fire them up, we can come back into this. It's something that's happened to us before; we've played well but not taken the chances to put the game to bed and been punished, hopefully we can execute that tonight. We really need to put the 'not turned around a defecit in the PL under Pardew' thing to bed anarl, although I'd be shocked if that happened tonight.

Bore off with the Giggs shite.

Shola will save us

Danny Mills saying Harper was at fault, how true is that?

Bingo.

Don't think I've heard us have any possession yet in the commentary.

About time, 4-2-3-1!

Do 5live (or 5livextra) have this game?

Assuming there's been a fallout he might just be injured, personal problems, unfit, anything.

Anyone who has REAL faith in Shola still thinks he can easily bypass Shearer's record.

GW 4: 1) 0-0 2) 3-1 3) 1-3 4) 1-1 5) 2-0 6) 0-2 7) 1-2 8) 1-1 9) 0-4 10) 3-1 (these are pissed predictions so if they are shit, that is why) x

Fair enough prediction this week.

That diagram is class

Not at all confident with Harper or fucking Elliot playing in goal, like.
