You do this every game.
Post a ridiculous team just to get people commenting and telling you that.
Very odd behaviour.

Surely Rico plays. I'm not one of the hates walker brigade, but this is the transition year from him to Rico and we need to start seeing him take up the mantle against some of the better teams.

Is there a parking exclusion zone around SJP? Any tips on where to park?

The Civic centre has a fairly decent allocation of parking, but its a 15/20 min walk to the stadium. Just depends if you're there early enough. Metros round Newcastle are great, so as others have said, you could park in Jesmond or even at Four Lane Ends in Longbenton and get the metro/bus in. If you hate your car then park it in Byker somewhere.

Would be a huge miss for them.

Happy if he’s out. He’s got a decent record of bagging against us at their gaff.

A really tough game, particularly without Rodri and potentially De Bruyne.

They've not been great so far this season, but they tend to get positive results at home.

I would assume Kovacic comes in for Rodri and otherwise it's a similar setup. Will need to be at the top of our game to win this one, but I reckon the players will want to make a statement following Rodri's injury and the result last weekend.

It's always a nice one to win the 12.30 - makes the weekend!

The physicality of their midfield worries me against ours. Feel like that will be our biggest problem covering for Rodri against the better teams.

Ederson
Akanji
Diaz
Stones
Gvardiol
Gundoghan
Foden
Savio
Grealish
Nunes
Viking

A solid team that with Stones stepping into midfield when he can. Nunez behind the Viking. Let’s see what he has got.

Make it a game of football then and not a battle then. Keep the ball on the deck with quick passing play to our strengths not theirs.
