When are you lot on nufc.co.uk going to clue in like the "normal" football fan. When you name a squad, you don't go alphabetically but by psition, ie, Goalie, Defence, Midfielders, Forwards etc etc etc. I looked at your squad and though OhmeGod..Barton in Goal..., nice to see Pissed One back though, he shouldn't be up front with Speed or Shearer though,anyways here's the blurb.. Not like they are close most days anyway!

"Alessandro Pistone, who proved his well being in a reserve game on Tuesday, is included for the first time since breaking a leg at Sunderland on February 5th, Bobby Robson has said he expects the Italian to start the game.

Eighteen year old central defender Stephen Caldwell has been drafted in after another accomplished performance for the Scottish Under - 21 side on Tuesday night, while Stuart Green is also included. Gary Speed has recovered from his bout of gastro enteritis and will play.

The squad: Barton. S. Caldwell. Dabizas. Domi. Dyer. Gavilan. Given. Green. Griffin. Harper. Howey. Hughes. Ketsbaia. Lee. Maric. McClen. Pistone. Shearer. Speed."
