    Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur at St. James' Park on Sunday 19th April 2015 (KO 16:00) in the 33rd Round of the 2014-15 Premier League.

    Newcastle come into the game in 13th place in the Table on 35 points with Spurs in 7th on 54 points. This will be the 155th time the two clubs have met.

    The first meeting came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in February 1905 with Newcastle drawing 1-1 at White Hart Lane before winning the replay at St James' Park 4-0. To date, the clubs have met 9 times in the FA Cup.

    The clubs met for the first time in the Football League in November 1909 in the First Division with Newcastle winning 1-0 at St James' Park and completing the 'double' over Spurs with a 4-0 win at White Hart Lane in March 1910.

    Tottenham's first win over Newcastle came in a First Division match at White Hart Lane in November 1912 with Jimmy Cantrell scoring the only goal of the match.

    There were further meetings in the First Division up to season 1933-34 with honours generally pretty even.

    An FA Cup 4th round match in January 1935 was won 2-0 by Spurs at White Hart Lane with George Hunt (Spurs' record goalscorer until Bobby Smith) scoring both goals.

    The next 12 meetings between the clubs came in the Second Division of the Football League either side of World War Two from 1935-36 to 1947-48. These dozen matches were the only League games contested between Spurs and Newcastle outside the Top Flight of English Football.

    The 1950-51 season saw Spurs win their first Football League Championship and in the process they did the 'double' over Newcastle winning 7-0 at home and 1-0 away. The 70,336 spectators at White Hart Lane for that emphatic 7-0 win were the largest crowd at any Spurs v Newcastle fixture in history.
    Spurs beat Newcastle United in the 1952 Charity Shield 2-1 at White Hart Lane with Les Bennett and Peter 'Spud' Murphy scoring the goals which won the silverware.

    The first Football League Cup meeting came in the Semi-Finals in January 1976 with John Pratt scoring the winning goal at White Hart Lane in the first leg but Newcastle winning 3-1 at St James' Park despite a Don McAllister goal to advance to the Wembley Final.

    Newcastle United, along with West Ham United, were the first clubs to be promoted to the Premier League for the 1993-94 season and Spurs won the first match against Newcastle in the competition 1-0 away at St James' Park with a Teddy Sheringham goal. The Magpies had their revenge at White Hart Lane in December with a 2-1 win.

    An FA Cup Semi-Final at Old Trafford in April 1999 was won 2-0 by Newcastle after extra time. Newcastle lost their Premier League status at the end of the 2008-09 season but won promotion at the first attempt managed by former Spurs player and assistant manager Chris Hughton. Hughton was sacked under contraversial circumstances in December 2010 and Alan Pardew was appointed as Newcastle's new manager.

    The fixture at St. James' Park last in October 2011 resulted in a 2-2 draw. Rafael van der Vaart opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 40 minutes. Demba Ba pulled Newcastle level three minutes into the second half but Jermain Defoe's 68th minute goal looked like securing all three points.

    Substitute Shola Ameobi scored a late equaliser for Newcastle. The reverse fixture at White Hart Lane in February 2012 resulted in a comprehensive 5-0 win for Spurs with goals from Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Louis Saha (2), Niko Kranjcar and Emmanuel Adebayor.

    The opening match of the 2012-13 season at St James' Park resulted in a 2-1 win for Newcastle. Demba Ba put United ahead after 54 minutes with Jermain Defoe equalising for Spurs after 76 minutes. Ben Arfa was fouled by Aaron Lennon and he scored from the penalty spot for the winner on 80 minutes.

    Spurs won their home League game in February 2013 2-1 with two goals from Gareth Bale, the first coming after 5 minutes from a free-kick and the second after 78 minutes. Yoan Gouffran had levelled things for Newcastle mid-way through the first half.

    Newcastle United won the Premier League game in November 2013 at White Hart Lane 1-0 with Loic Remy's 13th minute goal proving to be the match winner. Tim Krul made a string of outstanding saves to keep Tottenham from scoring. An Emmanuel Adebayor goal in the 19th minute saw Spurs go into halftime 1-0 up in the February 2014 game at St James' Park. Further goals from Paulinho, Adebayor and Nacer Chadli completed a comprehensive 4-0 win for Spurs.

    Emmanuel Adebayor put Spurs ahead after 18 minutes at White Hart Lane in October 2014 but second-half goals from Sammy Ameobi and Ayoze Perez ensured that the visitors returned to Newcastle with all three points. The clubs met again at the Lane in the 5th Round of the League Cup in December 2014 with Spurs winning 4-0 with goals from Nabil Bentaleb, Nacer Chadli, Harry Kane and Roberto Soldado.

    Tottenham Hotspur have won 65 of the 154 matches played so far with Newcastle United winning 57 and the remaining 32 games drawn.

    Hopefully we make a few much-needed changes to the starting line-up for this one. Chadli's been very poor recently, while both Bentaleb and Mason have looked jaded and clearly need a rest.

    And just to be clear on this, I don't mean use this match to stick Paulinho in the shop window.

    Lloris/ Vorm
    Yedlin, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies
    Stambouli, Dembele
    Townsend, Lamela, Rose
    Kane

    Bench: Vorm/ Lloris, Walker-Peters, Carter-Vickers, Winks, Onomah, Adebayor, Soldado

    Too many have been out of form or looking tired so I'd give them a rest for the match. Chuck a few youth players in their place, there's not much to play for now so reward the lads who've stood out in the u-21s/ u18s with some first team experience, even if they don't get on the pitch it'll serve them well in the future.

    What are people's opinions on McEvoy. The last game I saw, he was disappointing, but that's only one game. Surely the resemblance is more than just superficial?

    If Paul Stewart's absent, you can always rely on Wayne Routledge to deputise.

    Mind you Parker, Woodgate and Saha get about too.

    They're boycotting Mike Ashley... a Spurs fan... who has an admiration for Levy's business style. Maybe you're both boycotting the same person. Dun dun DUUUUH!

    I hope we smash 'em, as I'm going up to the away end for this (I've sat with the Geordies before and had a few choice words...) and I'll have mates sitting in the Gallowgate for this match too and I can't have them having bragging rights now can I. Plus the train journey back is going to be a right bastard and I don't fancy brooding for 4 or 5 hours.

    I hope we play Stambouli to shore up the midfield and I feel we may see Yedlin at RB, or maybe we won't as he played 90 mins for the USA midweek. Who knows eh?! As long as Paulinho, Dembele, or Lamela don't make it onto the pitch I'll be content (unless they score winners in which case I always said they'd be good...) Newcastle are dire right now so it'd be a classic Spurs match to lose. Lets hope we buck our eternal trend :)

    Ashley's a Chelsea fan. Something you want to tell us, YV? <whistle>

    Lewis is such a pig that he's at it twice! <laugh>

    Levy's far from perfect, but the likes of Ashley, Allam at Hull and Cellino at Leeds always make me think that things could be far, far worse.
    The Geordies are right to voice their concerns, though and I agree with the price protests at recent Premier League games, too.
    I doubt they'll have much of an impact, but they do have a point.

    As they're the only team outside of the bottom three who've conceded more goals than us, theoretically we should win about 5-4! :)

    • 13 Vorm
    • 15 Dier
    • 21 Fazio
    • 05 Vertonghen
    • 03 Rose
    • 08 Paulinho
    • 42 Bentaleb
    • 11 Lamela
    • 23 Eriksen
    • 22 Chadli
    • 18 Kane
    We'll see Dembele as a sub, no doubt. I'd rather see the players who one way or another are worth watching, who include Chiriches. To be fair, Fazio has a dramatic quality to him as well. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind a shop window policy the last few games of the season if I had the impression it did anything but drive down the value of the players involved.

    It is understandable the second tier teams all seem to have trouble finding their motivation at this point in the season. But it's also understandable I still want to see some combination of a good show and a win. Unfortunately the meeting of the two leakiest defenses in the league is all too likely to produce a scoreless draw.

    I know that everyone will be highlighting Paulinho's selection, but Chadli's been putting in some real stinkers recently.
    He has an off-field reason behind his dip in form, so that might have some influence on Pochettino.
    Shouldn't be getting picked right now, though.

    Hoping to see more fight from the side today, at least.
    Really disappointing performances in recent weeks and we need to pick up soon to have anything positive from this campaign.

    I would have dropped Chadli as well, but it's a long list of players who haven't looked good lately. Eriksen worked hard last time but didn't play well. Kane looked better than most of the rest, and Chiriches looked better than Walker, but that's damning with faint praise. Only Rose was good against Aston Villa, I thought.
