First time over in a long time, flying in sat heathrow, collecting
Thomas cook tickets sun am between 9 and 10, match at 12, back from stansted at 5.55. Now see from another thread (many thanks) bus only back to stansted - just curious to know how long bus takes and is Tottenham hale the best or only place to get it? Many thanks

If you can get to Liverpool st there are very frequesnt buses going to stanstead, at least four every hour or more. Take no more than an hr too depending on traffic.

As far as I know the replacement buses do not stop at Hale so you will have to get back to Liverpool St. This won't add too much time to your journey, jump on the train at White Hart Lane station and will bring you to Liverpool street. The bus from Liverpool St. will take about an hour, been a long time since I have done it so not 100% sure on that.

Many thanks for all that. Good to know . Staying in a Thomas Cook gaff in Camden Lock and they say we need to collect tickets between 9 and 10 . Just wondering how mental all of that is going to be at that hour of the morning?

presume we can use this thread as match thread - can someone change the title ?

We need to win this one at WHL , we all know how hard we find it to score at home but hopefully newcastle will go for the win and it will be an open game. however i would say 9 out of 10 teams coming to the lane now will play a tight boring game and try catch us on the break.

I really want to see eriksen for this one as he is more creative than holtby

lloris

walker vlad dawson verts

lennon dembele paulinho lamela

eriksen

soldado

we will most likely see the usual though, with lennon and townsend on the wrong wings and lamela not getting any time at all and holtby running all over the pitch and not making one through pass to soldado.

GS11

I'd prefer to see Siggy for lennon with lamela on the right. hehas goals in his game and gets into dangerous areas in the box. One man in the box is too easy to defend against.

Well eriksen should be in there too. I do agree that siggy has goals in his game, he tested the keeper against Everton and he was only on the pitch 5 mins

GS11

True, I just feel we don't get enough bodies in the box, Paulinho does get in there a bit as well.

Hatch99

Most likely team, Lloris Walker Daws Roma Jan Sandro Paul Lennon Andy Holtby Soldado. COYS

Devo from Dublin

Have a good feeling about this one..
Think with the harder fixtures we'll come up against teams that wont be willing to park the bus, so im expecting a run of goals from Soldado...
Us to score 3 - 4 goals and Soldier Bob to get a deuce!
:cool::cool::cool:

Sugarlumps

Always look forward to this fixture, one of the more entertaining games with some very memorable goals down the years. I'd say they'll stick with two up top, plenty of ariel duels to be fought out.

I've a soft spot for Newcastle. There erratic. I haven't seen us play well for 90 minutes, I don't really expect that to change come Sunday.

Strachan made a few good points last night, passing for the sake of it with no end product sums us up so far.

Win tomorrow and we go 3rd!!

I think that's getting a bit old now. Or maybe not.

Newcastle have conceded 11 goals on their travels out of their total against of 16. However we've only scored 5 out of our (poxy) total of 9 at home. We are 7th in the form league Newcastle are 13th. I predict a score draw unfortunately.:( Hope im wrong!

AVB always picks those who perform well in Europe and Lamela was super on Thursday. He will be our big weapon to get goals against the unsuspecting Toons.

shhhhhhhhhh, they could be reading this thread.

Counting down the minutes to kick off ..same result as last season will do

DubPerryman

Does anybody else feel gutted when we concede these days? Like on Thursday night, I was very disappointed that we gave away a goal and lost our clean sheet record, it pretty much made me forget we'd got three points and qualified.

I think a clean sheet is becoming a basic expectation of mine these days.... Which isn't a bad thing.

Gomes on the bench.


Abandon hope.

mickman

Worried about brad , has been poor this season

Lloris was happy to play , let the man play !

2nd Row Donkey

Gomes is so bad, he could cost us the game while still sitting on the subs bench.

Kiith

Yeah, im surprised Lloris isn't playing. Wouldn't say i'd be worried with Brad, but he's no where near as agile as Lloris, and doesn't work as well as a sweeper keeper. Still though, better Brad then Gomes.

Looking forward to the game now.

As you say, our high line defence works well because Lloris us so dependable at sweeping. With Brad there it could cause a lot of confusion at the back. Which is very worrying.

I think we'll have to score at least 2, if not 3, if we want to win this game!

townsend starting=no supply to soldado=very frustrated 30 million euro striker

a bit worried about lorris absence myself but brad is still a great shot stopper... lots of communication needed today .
