so... are newcastle a good bet tonight

maybe

Always dangerous backing a team away who are resting players and have a 2nd leg to come at home where they can probably win 2 or 3-0 if they have to.

Agree with biscuit, still putting out strong enough team to win but would prob be happy with draw. I can see a 1 or 2 nil win so can rest players for next match.

hope they lose if they field a weakened side

Harsh.

Can't blame them for playing a weakened team tonight as they weren't allowed to move their PL game so they kick off at Chelsea less than 48 hours after their game ends tonight.

Northern Echo thinks the team will be:

Harper; Simpson, Williamson, Perch, Santon; Anita, Bigirimana; Amalfitano, Gosling, Obertan; Cisse.

Ba, Tiote and Colloccini injured.  Ben Arfa suspended.  Not sure why Krul and Cabaye wouldn't play given the other absences.

big drift on newcastle were 2.2 this morning now 2.66

Newcastle won't win tonight. Lay, lay, lay.....

Harper, tavernier, perch, Williamson, r.taylor, obertan, gosling, Anita, bigirimana, marveux, cisse

Now 2.88. Good enough team to be worth a punt at that price in my opinion

3.2 now

**** team that!

Drifting like the siberian snow...

how long is Ba and co injured ?

Just for 48 hours til the Chelsea game obviously .

Apparently Tiote will miss 3/4 games.  Colloccini missed last weekend.

Anyone who lumped on Newcastle at 2.2 in the away leg of a Europa League tie with a big Premier League game 48 hours away deserves to sweat for their winnings.

the Q is .

why did they go from 2.4/5 to 2.2 first and then moved out , if it was more than expected they will field a weaker team

still worth it atromitos are crap cisse will get one or two easy newcastle win but i agree with the price it is quite risky without a full first team
Whats the bench like ?

Answer: No. Shower of useless ****s ...
