The really early build up to the Newcastle game

[WILF]

I thought Yossi was out for a couple of weeks ??
So midfield could be an interesting selection

Babel--SG--Lucas--Kewell

Maybe

He was injured, but if his recovery has gone according to plan, he could be in the frame for Toon. Not heard any update though.

If Masher is jet-lagged, Xabi still crocked, Momo mystery problem and SG knackered after running too much for England , we need Lucas to step up and show some class.

Never lose it Wilf or WILF as you like to be called

Babel SG Momo/Mash Riise

with Kuyt and Torres up front.

[Shaggy]

Ah, Kuyt was left out by van Basten, despite van Nistelrooy's absence through injury. Babel was preferred, alongside Koevermans. Dunno if he came on or not. He's also had a bit of a whinge about it:

Kuyt, who has struck six goals in 34 appearances for his country, told RTL 7: “I was ready to start against Belarus and that’s why I am disappointed that I didn’t.

“But there’s nothing that I can do, the coach chooses to play with another striker.

“It’s very difficult to change that.

“I don’t want to be on the bench – I want to start.”

a lot of negative energy around the club it seems, after an international break, away from home, newcastle on a poor run of form

wont be shocked if they win this

A bit of a negative vibe from yourself there.

We should go there and be ultra positive. If we do that - we'll win.

[Red_Al_77]

We need to get back discussing football again and people need to behave in this forum. It's as simple as that.

Amen to that brother.

[ronan]

all well and good but hopefully all this negativity wont effect us tomorrow,we know theyre going to be typical allardyce and if were not on top of it theyre going to bully us out of the game.
