In todays Sun, Alan Pardew is quoted as saying " This is one of the hardest ties in the round.....We'll try to win, but I'd take a draw for sure "
He's taking it very seriously indeed and I expect Toon to put out the strongest squad possible.
It won't help him though, we'll still win 2-1 ! :)

Cheer Warrington, I am so looking forward to this. The Toon army will be in full voice, as will our boys. On the pitch I hope the Geordies will be a bit off the pace, and the blue and white stripes bang on.

I am going to say a 1-1 draw today.

No one on the Wing ?

They could be right. The Newcastle team seems right, but Ben Arfa is left-sided? And with Brighton having a particualrly strong left midfield/wingers in Vicente, Kazenga, Noone, and Jake, the idea of putting Buckley on the left side is just what could happen?

I think I would play the Guardian team with El Abd instead of Hall, but with Noone, Vicente, Kazenga, Hall, Harley (reserve set pieces), Vincelot and one other on the bench: probably Agdestein.


Pardew is a 4-4-2 addict and after the 4-3-3 experiment at Fulham went awry in the second half ...

PS: I would put Buckley on the right. We do not want Santon coming forward. He will give Calderon too much trouble.

I like the idea of Greer at left back. Poke is included in the subs bench so that puts their choice into perspective.

Is Haris Vučkić injured?

Anyone else get slightly annoyed when the newspapers HAVE to cover us, and then when they put a likely team out, have not got a scooby about our formation etc...

The strange thing is how they get it wrong... you'd have to do some kind of research to put Hall into the team for example, but in doing so how would you think Greer's a leftback, Buckley's a leftwinger, Navarro will play etc?

Cllocinni is very doubtful, whole defence would have shift around if out
