Blackburn v Chelsea, 20:00
Charlton v Bolton, 20:00
Crewe v Man Utd, 19:45
Liverpool v Reading, 20:00
Milton Keynes Dons v Tottenham, 19:45
Newcastle v Portsmouth, 19:45

couple of decent games tonight, will your team include any first team at all?

I know Liverpool are unlikely to include the big players, Fowler returns, who do you think will start up front with him?

Newcastle Pompey could be a good game also, easy game for Man u, Chelsea might slip up

Dyer makes the bench for Newcastle, and some American geezer's playing. Must've won a competition or something. *shrugs*

Or lost one... Considering who he's playing for.

Wow - I thought Chelsea would play a weakened side. Still I suspect Jose wants to win on ALL fronts this season.

Joe Cole, Arjen Robben and Soloman Kalou up front. Is Kalou a regular goalscorer?

Still it looks a very quick and dangerous forward line.

you could argue this is a weakened side with 6 out of 11 non regulars

Ritchie Jones, impressive

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer !

Crewe 0:1 Man Utd

.. David Jones before, is the real deal


The Future looks good

Ha bollocks one nil down already.

Mido scores from a Reto Ziegler cross...

Tonight's all about keeping the momentum going

@Skunk

You seen the conditions at your game?

He's testing a potential central midfield pairing in a 4-3-3. The majority of the rest of the side aren't there on merit alone.

Rossi! for Newcastle United!

Newcastle 1:0 Portsmouth

Newcastle 1-0 Portsmouth

i did say, if you start with Rossi then he will score goals.

News from Newcastle.

The pitch is unplayable due to torrential rain over the past few days and Freddy takes a kick in the nuts as todays attendence clocks in at just over 15'000(according to the radio). Scratch that, apparenlty it's 25'028.

Hopefully fatboy gets the message and sells.

fucking hell, your attendances are getting a bit shit arent they.

We have our reasons. All the fanzines have been calling for a boycott of all things Newcastle, ALOT of people have been thinking the same way - i saw one poll that had 85% in favour. It's the only way to get the cunts in the board to listen.

Rossi scored for Newcastle.

again or are you just late?

So shit, so has Solano.

The attendence is 25'028, that's not going to get his attention. Prick will probably put it down to the weather.

I'm just saying maybe Rossi deserves to be playing more. It's not as if Shola is a natural goalscorer and Martins has been struggling. I think Rossi can feel justifiably agrieved that he hasn't played more.

We are thrashing reading 3-0... out with gerrard and co...

So does Taylor, so does N'Zogbia, so does Luque. Strangely i care more about OUR future prospects being messed about. Anyway, apparently Shola will be off to get a new hip soon so he should get his chance.

DYER IS ON THE FOOTBALL PITCH, I REPEAT, KIERON DYER IS ON THE FOOTBALL PITCH!!!

From now on Steven Taylor shall be known as "Hypno-Eyes".

Wow Newcastle are winning. Means Roeder wil stay on
