Palace are a pretty poor squad and they've apparently got their share of troubles at the boardroom level.

 

I wouldn't be too worried and expect a draw at worst. Cardiff in a few weeks time will probably be our first real challenge.

Butty Boost For Palace Trip

 

By Craig Hope

 

NEWCASTLE United skipper Nicky Butt returns to the squad for this weekend's trip to Crystal Palace.

 

The 34-year-old required surgery on a dislocated thumb sustained during the pre-season victory at Darlington and has been sidelined since.

 

Butt is United's most decorated player with six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and a Champions League winners medal, and coach Colin Calderwood feels that experience will be key to the Magpies' promotion drive.

 

"We're delighted to have Nicky back in the squad for Palace," he told nufcTV.

 

"We will need players of experience and quality to get out of this division and Nicky has stwo in abundance."

I thought Butt was looking at his "options" after being told to drive to Manchester to get treatment for his hand? If his thumb is mended I suggest he uses it to hitch a lift and fuck off out of Newcastle.

United Won't Risk Joey At Palace

 

By Craig Hope

 

JOEY Barton will return to light training on Friday morning but won't be risked during this weekend's South London showdown with Crystal Palace.

 

The midfielder watched from the stands as his team-mates recorded back-to-back home victories during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday - last Saturday's 3-0 triumph against Reading having been the match in which Barton limped out with a foot injury.

 

And coach Colin Calderwood told nufcTV that the Scouse schemer will rest over the weekend rather than join the squad in the capital.

 

"I think the doctor's order is for Joey to rest over the weekend," he said.

 

"We've got Nicky Butt and Danny Guthrie coming back so, what you lose with one hand, you gain with the other.

 

"Joey will do some light training on Friday morning but Saturday will come too soon."

Calderwood thinks that the doctor says he should rest over the weekend?

 

Why doesn't he know it, instead of just thinking.

Taylor Butt Smith Jonas

            Nolan

                      Ameobi
