Lenny Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 What is the actual squad, every site is reporting a different squad. Is Beye or Geremi in the squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Smith not in the squad, brilliant. NUFC: to follow...Given, Harper, N'Zogbia, Taylor, Coloccini, Enrique, Bassong, Tozer, Edgar, Butt, Guthrie, Barton, Gutierrez, Ameobi, Owen, Donaldson, Ranger Note Joey Barton and Shola are there.

Wullie Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Interesting that Ranger seems to have pushed in front of Zamblera despite being a year younger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 2-0 loss I reckon. We'll have like 2 shots the whole game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxaux Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thought we'd get beat in the first place, but it looks as though the team will have no shape, etc Still go with 3-0 I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest musika Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Anyone else feel like the optimism has been somewhat drained out after the fiasco with James Milner? After the Coventry game I thought we had a great chance against Arsenal, but the events of the last few days have turned all that on it's head for me. It concerns me that Keegan wanted Milner - who hasn't had a bad performance this season imo - to stay, and yet the board sold him anyway 2-0 loss today for me... Unfortunately.

Agree to disagree etc etc. I thought he held the ball in possession well, and gave us composure when in Man Utd's side of the field, especially in the second half.

It concerns me that Keegan wanted Milner - who hasn't had a bad performance this season imo - to stay, and yet the board sold him anyway 2-0 loss today for me... Unfortunately. Exhibit A: - "At the end of the day it was my decision to sell him. We got an offer which I felt was good value. It might not look a positive move to fans at the moment, but what will happen in the next two to three days will be positive. I would not have sold him if it did not move the club forward." Kevin Keegan, Friday 29/Aug/08 Keegan bigging Milner up a few days before is just a way of getting more money for him. Keegan has recently sung the praises of Ameobi and Smith. Do you think Keegan really doesn't want to sell them either? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Interesting that Ranger seems to have pushed in front of Zamblera despite being a year younger. Was thinking that too.

Dr Venkman Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 i was confident of getting a result, was even thinking about putting a tenner on us to win at 10/1, but with no martins, beye and geremi, i cant see it like, i expect a defeat here, but as long as we put in a good performance thats the least i expect from this.

mattypnufc Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 2-1 - Ranger to Superman that hoe! Cant see anything other than a defeat here lads, but lets hope for another performance like Manure... Its about time we got something from The Emirates, so I suppose why shouldn't today be that day? Irrespective, a good performance will do me fine.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I would love to have been going there full strength and geuinely believed we could get a positive result, however, with the injuries especially the latest Beye one, with no Geremi to replace him, i think we wil lose 3-1. ........................Shay.................................

Ikon Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I thought Coloccini was meant to be good at right-back? Stick him in there, Taylor-Bassong at CB. If we have to use those three, I'd rather keep Colo at CB and put Taylor out to the right. Same here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
