We're likely to get smashed again vs Madrid whatever team we put out, so our priority has to be our strongest team for this game. Balotelli has got to have a partner up top for this one, he looks better, and we look better when there's two up there.
Indeed. I doubt they've ever won three games on the run
Fuck Madrid, play to beat Newcastle.

I would want to see 2 strikers up front though courthinho has played well so deserves to keep his place. Which then may mean resting sterling

I shudder when I see the word Ming on a team sheet.
"ShudderMing" - the art of several incredible stops followed by a period of indecisiveness and a schoolboy error.
Should be a new word.
Don't order the Parmigiana unless you are very very hungry.Hold onto your hats, I'm at the imperial hotel in Melbourne, depending on tonight's result StevieM might have me here every weekend or never see me again.
*awaits the 'I hope Newcastle win post'
Less convinced such a choice would end in Ming's favour.The alternatives are Jones or Pascoe so Ming is fine
Was starving, rang at 6 asked when the kitchen was closing for regular food. Was told 10. Got here 930, told only pizza and chips now.Don't order the Parmigiana unless you are very very hungry.
