Newcastle's most likely line-up:

------------------------Given-------------------------

Carr--------O'Brien--------Elliott---------Hughes

Jenas-------Butt-------Faye------------Robert

-------------Shearer---------Ameobi---------------

Mat · 06-04-2005, 03:30 PM

I heard there is a good chance that they will both start (dyer and bowyer), makes sense to me as they both have a point to prove and also keeps the others fit for league and fa cup.

btw frank, how strong do you rate the starting line up and what score do you think it will be?

**Frank Cunha** · 06-04-2005, 09:15 PM

first game 2-1 Newcastle

**kennethlindheim** · 07-04-2005, 07:49 AM

Crap result for us if that is the scoreline tonight.

Mat · 07-04-2005, 03:20 PM

A win's a win though, we're still to lsoe a game in the uefa this season, regardless of the opposition.

hanuma · 07-04-2005, 06:15 PM

sporting win, just. 3-2, should be entertaining.
