I'm rather Ranger and Vuckic have played together loads though, so it kinda makes sense.

Average age of just over 20 I think.

Will that be online though? are Cup games different to league games? Ah, dunno actually. Forgot Blackpool wasn't a cup game.

Yup. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newcastle/programmes/schedules From 7pm.

Krul will start I guess and Soderberg has travelled so, yeah, you're right, no Harper at all tonight.

They've all got boring names. We need another Nile Ranger, Bradden Inman or Tamas Kadar.

If we do get promoted it's going to be a massive struggle to stay up, Europe would kill us. As for even winning the cup, **** me.

Another Sunderland player who prefers to spend his time in Newcastle. Someone at HMV should accuse him of theft, get him locked up so he can't play at the weekend.

Peter Beardsley. Not that unexpected, he's one of the most promising youngsters we've got, was tremendous last season for the reserves and after missing the first few game of the season with injury was very good in the home reserve game against Bradford when no doubt he'd have impressed the watching Hughton. Yeah, he was great against Bradford along with LuaLua he looked a level above the rest of our players. I have hardly seen him play but against Bradford he seemed to love to get forward even more than the midfielders.

Just search on iTunes for 'Newcastle highlights' and you should find the BBC Radio Newcastle podcast. They do 10-15 minute podcasts with highlights and interviews.

Can you not just get it off iTunes?

Obviously not as good but .com are doing score updates. 0-0 at the moment. Team: Soderberg, Airey, Lough, McDermott, Morris, Folan, Adjei, Inman, Ameobi, Danquah, Ferguson. Subs: McCrudden, Newton, McLaughlin, Spear, Liam Henderson. No Vuckic, Baheng, LuaLua or Tavernier so they might all be involved tomorrow.

After the hour? He was hunched over after about 20 mins on Saturday. After the teams came out of the tunnel, he sprinted over to the Gallowgate and applauded, and then breathed in and out heavily several times.

Hughton was definitely there, Harper as well. I'm sure I saw Carroll and R.Taylor on the telly but can't be sure.

Those six forwards only cost us £50,000 altogether. Although Harewood probably had a loan fee as well.

Thats the risk you take its part and parcel of football. Do you want us to end up like a Bolton Wanderers, a club who in effect says to its fans you will never ever win a trophy and the best you can ever hope for is scraping around near the bottom of the premiership, because we will always play weakened teams in the cup. Thats how we will end up because I guarantee that next season if we do get promoted, people will be saying survival is the priority. Don't fall for the sky tv bullshit - the premier league isnt the be all and end all. How many non-PL teams have won the League Cup since '92? If we never get back into the PL we'll never be able to afford players to win any cups, we'd get thrashed off most PL teams in the cup.

Ah, I knew my maths was wrong somehow.

That mean he was on £50 a week for us?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/tottenham/6049877/Sebastien-Bassong-your-numbers-up.html Is this some sort of wind up? Or is it a joke I've missed?

Could have something to do with SJP holding about 10, 000 more than Stamford Bridge. It's still a massive achievement considering we're in the second division.

Not sure about RM (not just in your team but in general) but yeah, other than that, it is in my opinion.

Lovenkrands reminds me of Martins, apparently fast but when does he every use his pace?

In the Sam Allardyce School of Coaching.

I don't know what anyone is going on about but I think Butt should play, for his experience if nothing else.
