CARLING CUP Newcastle away

[REB]

next

could be a good game.

[QuartzGooner]

Think it will be a cracking game.

Two teams coming off wins with a genuine chance of winning the cup.

Wenger said today he will play a strong team, not just the kids.

Guess Walcott, Bendtner and Rosicky will all start, Wenger often starts the late subs from a weekend game midweek and vice versa.

[Chippy]

Interesting Cesc mentioned it as an important game twice in his post match interview. perhaps they've realised we want some silver even if it is the worthless cup.

[IrishGunner]

Think we'll go out pretty strong with this game, something like this

Szcesny

Gibbs-Kos-Djourou-Eboue
Rosicky-Lansbury-Cesc-Denilson-Walcott
Bendtner

Good mix of youth and experience, should have enough to beat the barcodes

Having a laugh are you?
He won't play.

[Chippy]

I think he will. Best chance of silverware and nothing breeds success like success. I think Wenger has decided we need to win something.

[bigreddave]

They'll be tough to beat up there and aren't a bad side. I'm gonna go for us to nick this late on 2-1.

[GunnerRyan]

can't wait for this, expecting a win

[Bring Back Pires]

We've got a really patchy record at St. James's Park (at best), but the current Newcastle side is one of the weakest for years. If we turn up and play our game, we should run out comfortable winners. But as we all know, that doesn't always happen.

With Chelsea, Spuds, Liverpool and Man City all out, this is a great chance to finally win a trophy. Get past this round, and we're four wins away from claiming exactly that.

With the remaining sides in the QF's likely to be Birmingham, Ipswich, WBA, Wigan, Man Utd, Aston Villa and West Ham, I'll be kicking myself if we don't take the opportunity to progress.

[Henry Norris 1913]

actually the last time we played the mags at the fish tank we beat them 3-1 (the season they went down)

[Bring Back Pires]

actually the last time we played the mags at the fish tank we beat them 3-1 (the season they went down)

But since the Premiership started, we've won only five of our 16 trips to Newcastle, so it's not a happy hunting ground (Bergkamp's goal of the century aside!)

[no. 1 is Perry Groves....]

a draw and the dreaded penalty shootout i reckon.

[topgoon]

Will need to deal with their wingers, if our fullbacks are left exposed then possibly Routledge and Guttierez will rip us apart down the flanks. I don't have much faith in uor CB's dealing with the aerial threat from the wings when they have to deal with Andy Carroll

Still hoping for a win and failing that look forward to a night out in Newcie......nah F*** that I want the win, this could be silverware for us.
