Kick off: 7:30pm GMT NUFC: To follow... Rossi is ineligible but Babayaro and Bramble are available as their bans extends only to domestic matches. Ameobi's hip continues to cause concern, while an ankle injury sustained against Everton is an additional worry. It's hoped that Duff will have recovered from the dead leg that saw him miss the visit of the Toffees. Levadia Tallinn: TBC, but who really cares? Ref: TBC Overseas TV: TBC Having been beaten by Deportivo at SJP last season then drawing our opening two home games in Europe this season (1-1 with Lillestrom, 0-0 with Ventspils), we're actually in the middle of our worst-ever run of home form in European competition.
If we play against them like we did Everton, we will get 50 shots and maybe 5 will be on target. Other than our finishing and defense, I think our team has hit its stride. Sadly, those are the two most important things.
Not that it matters... Ref: Kristinn Jakobsson (ISL) Assistant Ref: Ingvar Gudfinnsson (ISL) Pjetur Sigurdsson (ISL) Fourth official: Gardar Orn Hinriksson (ISL) Put a dagger in their hearts during the first 30 minutes and we'll be good to the next round. 2-0 Toon with goals from Martins and Parker
Some more good news... Taylor given chance to stake claim Let's just hope the Taylor-Ramage pairing in central defense takes place in the very near future.
No, he's a loan (until January, IIRC) and I don't think ManU wants him played in European matches so as not to cup-tie him to NUFC when he's a MU player.
Will Century FM have the game? Soccernet doesnt have a gamecast for it and I am wondering how I can get it in my office.
It is on Century. (link) This is their scheudle from their website, but it is wrong. The game is on, click the link. 18:00 Century's 3 Legends These guys are the North East's top football pundits: Malcolm Macdonald, Eric Gates and Bernie Slaven.

according to soccernet: Harper Carr Bramble Taylor Ramage Emre Butt Milner N'Zogbia Sibierski Martins quite an impressive looking bench
Listening in Texas! Newcastle seems to be having a good amount of possession. Milner and N'Zogbia switching positions from left to right.
Some pretty interesting results in the other matches... Marseille [who ended our UEFA cup run in 03-04] went to Mlada Boleslav with a 1-0 lead, led tonight 2-1, and lost 4-2 with the clincher coming in the 90th minute. Shalke won the opener 1-0 at home, and went to AS Nancy Lorraine and lost 3-1.
Thanks, I edited my post to reflect that. I was just logging off to go to work and saw your post. Now I'll go in late Thx, Jay!
This seems like the first Newcastle match I've been able to listen to on Century in about a month. They need to stream all their channels, not just one. 25 minutes in, and the announcers say they're nervous.
Emre curls a freekick just wide of the goal. 35', 0-0. Sounds like we're starting to assert ourselves a little more, at least.
