As Tonali approaches 50 games for us, who is your favourite Newcastle player to have played less than 50 games for us?

 

I loved Rondon for the season he was here

Remy, Asprilla, comfortably.

Tino only playing 48 games for us is mad.

Asked my dad and he said Tony Green without hesitating

Would appear that Adam P has some more selling out to do.

My dad's favourite too. Career ended early from a bad tackle I think but apparently he had it all.

Ask him who his favourite of all time is and I'd bet it's probably the same answer.

'Imagine someone that's a bit like a much faster, even more skillful Beardsley' is how my lass's dad described him. Completely understandable to have him as your favourite ever if that's anywhere near accurate like.

I was only 6/7 when we had Beardsley at the end of his career in the Entertainers side, only really watched bits of him on old compilations etc. I've no idea how good Beardsley really was.

It's a real shame like, he was a genius. Natural ability and skill only matched (and surpassed if we're being honest) by Ben Arfa, but with the heart and determination of Shearer, and a brain and level of unselfishness that was all his own. Best player I've seen in my lifetime for us.

Was Gascoigne not more talented than Beardsley or HBA?

At Newcastle I couldn't tell you, I never saw him play until he was already at Spurs.

Aye I think anyone over the age of about 67 would say Tony Green. 

 

I'll go Woodgate.

Peter Kelly ,Tony Green or Geoff Allen are my dad's answers

Absolute bollocks ko time from a fans pov, but Chelsea will be playing away in the second leg of the Conference semi on the Thursday night, so pretty short turnaround time for them.

[Fenham Mag]

Gives us a pretty big advantage which is most important at this time.

They'll play a second string in that you'd imagine.

Maybe. Although for all they’ve done that pretty much the whole way through the tournament, might be a bit different once you hit the semis.

 

Having said that, if it’s nip and tuck with us for CL, they probably will prioritise our game.

[Paully]

Yeah they'll definitely play a 2nd team in Europe - can't ever recall a 12pm Sunday kick off in the Premier League? Sure we had a few vs the mackems in the old Division One (or Two at the time!)?!

Was thinking the same -- that's 7am here and I can't recall that ever happening in the PL in recent memory.

I think they’re starting to blend more first teamers in now they’re getting to the pointy end of the competition. Palmer has been registered for example.
