Competition: Premier League Venue: Emirates Stadium Date: Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 Time: 1945 GMT It's Newcastle at home for the second time in four days as the Geordies return to Emirates to try to avenge their 3-0 FA Cup loss. What changes will Keegan and Wenger make to the teams that played each other on Saturday? Here's to three points and staying at least tied at the top of the league!
I'd expect Viduka to start for Newcastle – Owen and Smith weren't terribly effective today, and Viduka could probably give Senderos more trouble. Rosicky will probably be out, so I wonder if it will be Diaby or Walcott getting another start. I hope it's Diaby. He worked well with Clichy today.
I see complacency as the biggest enemy for our boys in this match. Hopefully they have forgotten all about the 3-0 win in the FA Cup match.
Rosicky may have a cartilage injury http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article3261486.ece
I agree, 4 Newcastle own goals is far more likely then the 1 you did in the FA cup. It was a fluke there weren't more own goals, but i guess thats what happens when you let the master of the natural f-up Titus Bramble leave.
Ahh, this injury news can go here. Rosicky - Hamstring injury, he will be out for "days not weeks" (false dawn #1). van Persie - expected back in training tomorrow (false dawn #2), as Wenger says he won't be fit for another 2-3 weeks. For those who are worried about Toure - he had his groin scanned by Arsenal staff in Paris and they say the injury will sideline him for "8 to 10 days" (good news).
Van Persie.. more like Van Hurtsie.... arggggggggggggggggggg. Hopefully he'll make a return in time for AC Milan on the 20th.
Rubbin my eyes...didn't we just play these guys? LMAO! My Prediction: 2-0 to The Arsenal! Loads of possession for the lads and at times they get bored, hence the low score. NUFC still don't scare me offensively. GO ON ARSENAL, GO ON!
Missed the FA Cup tie by one. So I'm sticking to my 2-1 prediction. Depends on the changes to their side. If they keep it the same, and our starters come back in, could win it 4-0!
This just seems like a banana peel match in the making. We have struggled at St. James' in the past and sometimes Given just plays a blinder against us. I'm hoping for three points but dreading a draw.
Oh FFS. I don't know which way is up any more. That means we'll pulverize 'em! 2-0 on auto pilot by the 60th minute...
