Where did you get that info Bundy?Colo and Krul didnt travel as they are both injured and Gouffran and Debuchy didnt either as they are cup tied, but Gutierrez and Cisse were on the plane along with Ben Arfa as far as i know. |

Jeez you are right Bundy thats terrible news...........Cisse has been ill and Gutierrez has a knee problem that wouldnt fare well on the plastic pitch, so Adam Campbell is the only real "striker" apart from Shola....

To be honest I'd love to see Campbell get a run, he's going very well in the reserves - 8 goals in 10 games. I know you can't even compare reserve team ball with an away tie in Moscow but he's a very good goalscorer (I actually played against him a few years ago, he was 14 & scored 2 against is in a friendly) & I think if he came on with 15 or 20 mins to go he could be a surprise that Anzhi wouldn't be expecting. Tomorrow will be a huge ask but as we saw with Ireland on the same pitch...miracles do happen! |

I think Pardew is nuts if he plays Ben Arfa from the start. 4 months without a match & playing on a plastic pitch in -4 or -5 degrees weather would be mental in my opinion. If he starts Shola I'd be confident of getting a draw, these Russians wouldn't really be used to playing against players like Shola in the Russian league. Big test for the likes of Simpson, M'Biwa, Haidara & Elliott. Not a whole lot of first team experience between them. I'd be least worried about M'Biwa though - he captained Montpellier in the Champions League!
I'm going to stick my neck out & say a 1-1 draw, Cabaye with the goal. |

Haidara was very comfortable in Kharkiv,Ben Arfa might get the last 20 ins, ill expect Marveaux to start,1-1 would be a great result, Anzi have won all their home games in Europe so far! |

I have a feeling it will be 2-1 to Anzhi which in all fairness isn't a bad result, We can beat them in SJP

Coloccini out until May apparently, he broke 2 bones in his back against Southampton. Jesus this is all we need now. He cleared a ball doing an overhead kick & landed on his back & ended up breaking bones - talk about a freak accident.
Really hope this isn't the start of a bad few weeks for the club. Get a decent result tonight & beat Stoke on Saturday & hopefully that is the end of the relegation worries. |

Colo has gone to argentina . I reckon he's sorting out his issues and will hopefully be ready for august with his head sorted out . A 0-0 tonight and a win on Sunday and it would make life easier for the next month . |

Fantastic performance from a half strength team in Moscow against a team who has won all their home games in Europe this season, Pardew set the team up really well

Great performance tonight, really could have won the game if they had been more adventurous. Next Thursday will be very difficult now, I don't know whether Anzhi were very poor or Newcastle were very good. I just can't make up my mind. Perch, M'Biwa & Elliott were brilliant & for 3 lads who haven't played much 1st team football recently, I thought they were very good tonight. Haidara looked at home at left back & I thought Simpson was very good. It would be easy for Simpson to throw his toys out of the pram lately but in fairness his attitude seems to be spot on. Ben Arfa was rusty which was to be expected. 60+ mins tonight will bring him on a huge deal & a start at home on Sunday in front of 52,000 & hopefully he'll hit the ground running. Obertan was crap for 80 mins but did 1 or 2 useful things toward the end - not good enough though. Great performance though from all the players, I can't help but feel Anzhi will offer a lot more than they did tonight. Obviously a clean sheet is very important next Thursday if Newcastle are to progress. |

Seems Ben Arfa got a dead leg on Thursday and may be missing again on Sunday!

Just bought tickets for Thursday night . Sales seem to be way ahead of previous Europa matches . Hopefully we'll get a big crowd, top tier open, and get a great atmosphere going .

I'd love to go on Thursday, I reckon it will be a completely different atmosphere to a league game. I'm confident of Newcastle scoring but I'm also wary of Anzhi nicking a goal. I think if they get past Anzhi everyone will really believe the club can go all the way. Fulham got to a Europa league final & Boro did as well - both had weaker squads or perhaps less talented squad than this Newcastle team. Athletico gone, Chelsea will hopefully be knocked out Thursday. Get Sunday out of the way first however, huge game tomorrow. Newcastle win & they're level on points with Stoke but lose & the gap is 6 which would be hard to make up in terms of trying to move ahead of them into mid table. |
