Subs: Ole Soderberg, Shane Ferguson, Alan Smith, Haris Vuckic, Sylvain Marveaux, Sammy Ameobi, Demba Ba

 

Dont know where SOAP is so just used some bits from his previous one but not everything

 

Is this the official team? or are you formation porning it?

 

Is that the confirmed line up?!! No defenders on the bench?!

 

Yes,its the official one.

1200: Yo back up now and give a brother room. The fuse is lit and I'm about to go BOOM.

Think Sam Lyon might be a cheik tiote fan.

 

Not bad tbh. Subs look good apart from Smith. Good pace in squad.

 

Interesting to see how midfield lines up

 

I fail to see how playing Lovenkrands over Vuckic can benefit us in any way whatsoever

 

This.

It has to be Sammy or Haris then Loven

 

I am so sorry i did exactly the same thing, ididnt know u were doing it, we had the same idea, have u guys found any streams?

Does anyone know what's happened to www.my2p2.eu? It seems to have vanished.

 

cheers so much http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/80845/1/watch-newcastle-united-vs-fulham-.html

 

Newcastle begin life without midfielder Joey Barton, meaning Dan Gosling or Sylvain Marveaux could get a run in the team.

Shola Ameobi is a doubt, while Hatem Ben Arfa, Steve Harper and Mike Williamson are injured.

Fulham suffered a blow when John Arne Riise was carried off with a leg injury in the Europa League clash with Dnipro.

In further bad news, Simon Davies has been ruled out for five months.

MATCH PREVIEW
I was interested to read Mick McCarthy's comments about qualifying for the Europa League through a Uefa Fair Play Award: "If we get anywhere near that Fair Play thing, I'm going to tackle someone down the tunnel," was the opinion of the Wolves boss.

It's safe to say he's not a fan of that route into European football; yet that is the way that Fulham got into Europe this season, and after a long journey back from the Ukraine the match at Newcastle will already be Fulham's 11th of the season.

With Kevin Nolan and Jose Enrique having also moved on in recent weeks Newcastle's squad is not the biggest
There's no doubt that there'll be a spring in the step of every Newcastle fan after last weekend's victory at Sunderland. Although there will surely be plenty of questions asked about the make up of their team for this match given the departure of Joey Barton to QPR, who, incidentally, are Newcastle's next opponents on 12 September.

With Kevin Nolan and Jose Enrique having also moved on in recent weeks Newcastle's squad is not the biggest, but four points from their opening two fixtures is a very good start to the campaign.

Martin Jol didn't want to blame tiredness for last weekend's defeat to Wolves at Molineux, but it will be a far more valid reason if Fulham don't pick up three points this weekend - and it won't only be the players who might be a touch fatigued.

The lunchtime start means Fulham's fans using official coaches will be leaving Craven Cottage at 5.15 in the morning for the 1pm kick off.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

Fulham lead the overall head-to-head count by 26 wins to 24, with 13 draws.
Last season's encounter at St James' Park ended 0-0, Fulham won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Craven Cottage.
Newcastle

Newcastle's win over Sunderland was only their second in their last nine league matches.
Cheick Tiote had been booked in his previous six games before the win over Sunderland. He has never gone more than three matches without a yellow card in the division, according to Infostrada.
Fulham

Fulham have kept clean sheets in 10 of their last 15 competitive games (including Europa League qualifiers). They have shut out their opponents in four of their last seven Premier League matches.
Fulham conceded just 23.3% of their goals last season from set pieces, the lowest proportion in the top flight.
They also conceded just one penalty, fewer than any other Premier League side.
This will be their 11th match of the season.

 

i saw somewhere football streaming websites are meant to be blocked by your internet provider as you don't pay for it meaning sky and espn lose business.

 

Good thing about these streams is no pre match waffle lol

 

I know Gosling had a ****e match against Scunny but to be dropped for Smith? Harsh!
