Campbell narrowly wide.

Corner to Newcastle.

Terrible play from.. Smith. Again.

1-0 Van Aanholt

"Newcastle hand a debut to defender Sol Campbell in a side that also sees 10 changes from the weekend. Alan Smith starts in midfield alongside Haris Vuckic, while Nile Ranger and Shola Ameobi spearhead the attack."

Tozer starts again Liverpool. Lol.

BBC reckon it's Krul Back 4 Gutierrez Smith Vuckic Lovenkrands Ranger Ameobi

Tbf, our bench is much stronger than theirs.

HT 2 - 0 Chelsea (Anelka x2) FT 2 - 5 (Ben Arfa x 4, Krul x1) Wonder what the odds would be on that.

Acts as a world class draft excluder. Stops the other players getting too cold.

Campbell and Coloccini. Our back line will have a top speed of 3mph.

RM.

Odd, that.

Match practice can only help Krul at present. He should start.

You know, I wouldn't mind this if ANY attempt was made to make the sign look classy. It's not impossible, just get a decent graphics designer in. I just know this is gonna look like some tit in Paint printed them off.

Is Harper dead, thought he'd just done his shoulder in.

There is no recall clause. I think due to it being in Scotland. But Celtic probably wouldn't have taken him with one, since he's clearly going to be their first choice keeper. Makes sense. Hughton said it's the price for letting him play in that calibre of team.

Has anyone actually seen Soderberg play? If he doesn't look decent, we should bring in someone like Turnbull. Just a temporary back-up keeper. Chelsea would probably deal with us again given that Van Aanholt went well, and was a similar deal.

Shay can fuck off. Just do what we did last time and bring back Srnicek. He's still under 50.

Amused and frightened. Simultaneously.

He could be found out to be average, but so far from everything we've seen he's good to very good. He may concede a few that Harper wouldn't through experience, but conversely I'm sure he'll save a few that Harper wouldn't have had a chance with reflex-wise. He's been around for five years. If we're not going to give him the chance to cover an injury, what's the point in having him?

Krul Raylor Campbell Williamson Kadar Routledge Vuckic Tiote Jonas Ameobi Lovenkrands

That's scary.

Very odd.
