Not surprisingly, Newcastle United will start with the same side which drew at Birmingham City on Monday night.
So Newcastle will continue with their more attacking formation of 4-3-3 with Michael Owen, Oba Martins and Mark Viduka up front. Joey Barton, Geremi and Nicky Butt continue to make up the midfield three.
David Edgar comes in as one of the substitutes to the exclusion of Brazilian Cacapa. We’re pleased to see David possibly even get in the game at some point today. He’s played very well for Newcastle Reserves all season.
We had even expected to see Senegalese Lamine Diatta as one of the substitutes, since he played the full game for the Reserves at Bolton on Tuesday night.
With Peter Ramage having also come back Keegan has Faye, Taylor, Diatta, Cacapa, Ramage and Edgar to choose from for his central defensive pair.
TEAMS
Newcastle United: Steve Harper, Habib Beye, Jose Enrique, Abdoulaye Faye, Steven Taylor, Geremi, Nicky Butt, Joey Barton, Michael Owen (c), Mark Viduka, Oba Martins
Subs: Fraser Forster, David Edgar, Alan Smith, Andy Carroll, Charles N’Zogbia
Fulham: Kasey Keller, Paul Konchesky, Paul Stalteri, Brede Hangeland, Aaron Hughes, Leon Andreason, Jimmy Bullard, Danny Murphy, Simon Davies, Brian McBride (c), Eddie Johnson
Subs: Tony Warner, Moritz Volz, Carlos Bocanegra, David Healy, Clint Dempsey
Referee: Alan Wiley
Attendance: tbc

Good line up, but where is Duff?
2 ObaFan2 // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:28
Good but Smith is too close to the team again
Duff looks like he’s on his way out !
3 geordie_jordan // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:31
that’s because duff is terribly poor doug
4 ToonKing // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:31
we better win this……..
5 ShiNg // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:35
Why don’t use N’Zogbia instead of Barton or Geremi…………
still no creativity in mid-field………
6 DC // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:39
Anyone got a stream to watch todays game?
7 Dunc // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:39
I’d play Zog RM, Duff LM and Owen Martins up front.
I see Duff can’t even get on the bench. Is he injured?? Or is he on strike until Ste Carr gets a new deal??
8 Ross // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:39
i agree shiNg, wouldnt mind seeing zogs in the mid to see if he can create something tbh
9 Ross // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:40
http://www1.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=8587&part=sports
that should work DC
10 Hammy // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:42
Hope Butt continues his good form from Birmingham and that Barton pulls his finger out….
My only concern is our weakish bench, apart from an out of form Zog can’t see goals on it I’m afraid……
11 nufcstats.com // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:44
DC go to http://www.myp2p.eu there are a few links (first is working for sure).
good line up but I’m affraid N’Zogbia will want to go in the summer. He is too good to be on the bench in the team fighting for survive. He is good enough to be in the Wenger’s starting eleven…
12 Ross // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:44
but to be honest hammy, looking at the starters, there should be goals in oba owen and duke. if we’ve got to look to the bench for goals when we’ve got our top 3 strikers all starting then we’ve got a serious problem,haha.
13 Hammy // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:46
Fingers crossed Ross…
14 Spyro // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:47
i dont get it when people say thing like “barton is playing, so we hav eno creativity” WHAT are you talking about!? He is our most creative player in terms of picking a pass, yes he has bveen poor lately but when was n’zogbia ever good at picing a pass. I love him to bits but Barton on form is better in the middle
15 Obafan // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:47
Where are Diatta and Cacapa? They should form our central heart of our defence with Faye in front of them and N’Zogbia in front of Faye.
16 JP from The Rock of Gibraltar // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:47
Where is CACAPA!!!???? He has always played with BALLS. Faye played terrible last match. Edgar is too inexperienced and Cacapa deserves his chance. There’s plenty of time for Edgar to play next season. Right now we need Cacapa!!!
17 Spyro // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:47
got a feeling viduka is gonna have a good game
18 Jamie // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:48
I’m to nervous to watch the game, Soccer Saturday for me!
19 Spyro // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:49
i agree it is unfair to drop cacapa for playing badly when every defender we have has played badly at one point or another…taylor?
20 DC // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:50
Thanks Ross and nufcstats
Howay the Toon
21 Far East // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:50

22 YongMalaysia // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:50
I think KK wil get sack end of season if he lose this match or even draw. A match must win today!!!
23 geordie_jordan // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:54
the guy on fsc just said taylor is the most overrated defender in the premier league. don’t disagree.
24 Edd Case // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:56
1st goal today is so important.
25 Luke // Mar 22, 2008 at 14:57

HERE WE GO!! HOWAY THE LADS!!
29 Steve_48 // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:09
Good start, Butt needs to watch those slot through the midfield balls as Fulham’s midfield is tight today, we’re going to have to use the flanks today
30 DP // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:09
God, i’m absolutely sh*****g it here lads! any news as to why duffers not in the 16?

45 Steve_48 // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:13
Perhaps they’re starting to get their collective fingers out Michael … ?
Get the oven warmed up for The Duke’s half time pie quota!

Sopcast was working - isn’t now…
53 Obafan // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:20
Great start for us. Let us hope the 2nd one follows quite soon…
54 arnie // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:20
Great start with the goal, but defending so deep at home versus fulham is madness. They dont have any speedy attackers, so we should push up higher and dont let their midfield control the game.
55 SB // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:21
S***, sopcast is not working! What should I do now?
56 wsq // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:21

Omg another Owen chance!
94 cloudstrife // Mar 22, 2008 at 15:40

128 Gloryhunter // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:06
Channel - 42942 . Get the grif - the ‘Premear League’. ‘Noo England Revolution’. ‘Noocasell’ - trouble is - it keeps fading out.
129 wsq // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:10
Edd case what u talking about?
130 Hadrian // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:15
bah this isnt owt todo with vista sp1 is it? why isnt any fsi link startng on tvu
131 arnie // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:16
Happy to see Smith out of the team, but it doesnt help when we put in geremi. He’s absolutely rubbish, doesnt move his feet at all. Fulhams gonna score if dont push our team up the field.
132 Far East // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:19
joey!!
133 Soren // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:19
Hadrian - is it only the 21500 channel that won’t start? I am running tvu fine on vista.
134 Ross // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:20
joey?
135 Hadrian // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:22
soren , any link isnt starting the channel like it normally would , just loading tvu .
and i havent a clue how to enter a channel manually
only got the radio on but sounds like joey bartons after a man of the match
136 Soren // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:25
Have you got media player version 9.0 or higher? because tvu requires it to run.
When starting tvu there should be a menu on the left where you can choose channels.
137 Michael // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:27
Languid this half no?
138 Soren // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:27
NOOOOOO martins!!!!!! bloody vid offside
139 Hadrian // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:34
here we go with the keegan slagging off for taking off martins
yeah i have wmp , there is a menu on the left to choose channels , but nowhere to enter a channel number , just pick from loads of random channels , is fox soccer in that list of channels ? :O
140 Ross // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:35
who has he put on? to be honest martins seemed pretty involved?
141 ende // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:36
Someone really needs to write a sopcast / tvu client for Mac. Oh well, guess that’s what VMWare is for.
142 Hadrian // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:36
zoggy .
143 Soren // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:42
Hadrian - yes it is. channel 21500 and its called “soccer”, you can also choose sports in the top of tvu to narrow the channels down to only sport channels.
144 Edd Case // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:43

150 Edd Case // Mar 22, 2008 at 16:57
Thoroughly deserved win, get in.
151 Michael // Mar 22, 2008 at 17:04
Well done. 5-3-3 seems to be the formula for his selection. Keeps Smith out.
Again Keegan made prudent substitutions. Taking Martins off and putting Nzogbia, the Viduka for Smith.
Although today his Tactics were better than Monday.
Rating.
Tactics 6/10
Subs 9 / 10
Half time talk 8/10
Overall 8/10
Well done Kev making some tough decisions. Taking Martins off again. That is the nastier side of Keegan and the more pragmatic. Keep Martins Hungry, Owen scoring and Viduka happy
Well done
