Is this the line up........this could be interesting..

given
Griffin..Hughes..Goma..Quinn
Solano..Dyer..Acuna..Glass
...Shearer..Amoebi...

Could be a nice one!

-- Anonymous, February 24, 2001

Is that the line up? Where did you see it? I've just been to several sites and can't find anything. Waiting impatiently for the webcast to start. Very nervous about today, but also excited. Not sure if this is a good thing. ;-)

No its not the line up, just a nice guess !!! *s*

What happened to Lee now? If Griffin doesn't get a chance this week, there's no excuse next week. Barton will be suspended.

-- Anonymous, February 24, 2001

What up with the webcast.....Its says on the nufc.co.uk that it starts with a build up to the match 45 min. before, but it never does..........usual it starts between 15.55 - 16.02 (danish time, +1 GMT).

They've got a Geordie in the studio, and a City fan via mobile from SJP. The City fans are resigned to losing and will be happy to get a point. They're cacking themselves over Shearer's return

Nope, Spud, the FA don't allow Radio 5 to broadcast their radio match coverage on teh web. They have a special football program instead with various supporters in the studio watching monitors and also supporters at the stadium on mobiles. Better than nothing, and actually pretyt entertaining when there's no Toon match on. :-)
