Bit early I guess but meh.

NUFC: Given, Harper, N'Zogbia, Enrique, Rozehnal, Taylor, Cacapa, Faye, Edgar, Beye, Milner, Geremi, Butt, Emre, Barton, Pattison, Viduka, Martins, Owen.
Alan Smith serves a suspension for 5 yellows. Owen appears to be unscathed from the England game and Steve Harper is being tipped to have earned a recall. Oba Martins' 2 goals for Nigeria see him as a likely starter.

THFC: Cerny, Forecast, Chimbonda, Dawson, Kaboul, Lee, Tainio, Malbranque, Jenas, Zokora, Bale, Keane, Berbatov, Defoe, Huddlestone, Gardner, Lennon, Bent.
No Robinson for Spurs, so young Tommy Forecast will sit on the bench as former Sunderland stopper Ben Alnwick is off on loan to Luton.
Tainio and Garnder are described as "doubtful", although Assou-Ekkoto, Boateng and Rocha are out.

The reason I've posted "place bets on 3-1 to Newcastle" in the thread title is due to the fact the result has been that for the last few seasons and Newcastle always seem to put a few past Spurs.

I won't post expected line-ups yet, as fitness levels of one or two Newcastle players are uncertain after the internationals. Mon Oba to replicate THAT goal again

1-0 to us & Barton to break Jenas's leg please.

come on newcastle. don't suppose joey will play, but if he does, come on joey too

retired_amadhani

racist.

Jenas to sh!t all over the Newcastle midfield. The Mags are quite unlucky that they won't be getting the mandatory 1 goal head start with Robinson being "injured".

Can't really expect us to get all 3 points at Newcastle but boy do we need it. Close call this game could go either way.

This game has come too early for Barton, IMO. Emre to start in the middle of midfield, please with Viduka and Owen up front.

Will be a tight game, but I'm hoping we have enough. Gonna go for a 2-1 win with Milner to get the first.

retired_matthowells

Robinson and Gardner out? Quietly confident about maybe getting a possible draw out of this one.

retired_gumildo

mon Barton starting

retired_amaankhan_urs

spurs to fall back into the relegation zone :thup:

retired_sisa___

Spurs are basically GAGGING for an absolute raping, it's almost too obvious.

So I will go for 1-2 spurs

COME ON YOU SPINELESS LOVEABLE SPURS

Subs: Given, Barton, Owen, Taylor, Butt

Shame Robbo is injured, we probably won't win now, unless this Cerny bloke is really bad. What's he like Spurs fans? If you've seen him that is
