so who will be in the squad on Saturday

Even if he is fit I'm expecting a 451 or 442, with a defensive looking midfield.

 

i think ben arfa might be named on the bench, start marv to tire out their LB and then bring on benni or obertan against tired legs

 

btw pics of training up on nufc website

 

I'm hoping it's all just Pardew mind games given our best 6 players are doubts and we start our best 11 but one thing is for sure something is going on.

either


mind games or player sale me thinks.

 

Some interesting stuff coming off our website if you ask me:

"Cisse, Ben Arfa and Cabaye were all rested for the friendly at Cardiff while Tiote came off as a precaution in the same game but all have a chance of being involved against Spurs, although Alan Pardew confirmed that Cabaye and Ben Arfa remain doubtful."

I think (probably just blindly hope, but still) that it is mind games from Pardew. "Rested" and "Precaution" are key words. Why would the official website say that if they were definitely injured? And still we keep up the mind games with the comment from Pards repeated at the end...

... You can tell the season is back again with some overly positive thinking there from me!! Haha
