The opposition are Morecambe and the ground is sold out giving the League Two side what will be a record attendance at their new ground, the Globe Arena.
As pointed out in my match preview, Newcastle have not lost a second round League Cup in 23 years but there is a sniff of an upset here. You always know there is a chance of an upset when Sky decide to to televise one of these matches and sure enough they will be at Morecambe this evening.
The good news about that is that it gives people who aren’t at the ground a chance to watch the game, and it also means that there should be some streams knocking about. Normal rules apply, those being that if you find a decent stream then please share it with your fellow Newcastle fans by leaving a link in the ‘comments’ section below.
I’m unsure what kind of team we’ll be naming if I’m honest. Part of me says that we should name our strongest team which should, in theory, give us the optimum chance of progressing. The other part of me is thinking perhaps some first team players should be protected on the basis that we don’t have adequate backup to take on a Premier League team should those first team players pick up injuries. We’ll know soon though and all the team news will be detailed below.
That’s about it, I don’t really need to waffle on about the game any longer. Will we record our first win of the season or will we be on the end of another early cup exit?
Howay the lads!

Goofy is a waste of a forward position for me. Who scouted him…
mark(Quote)
Goof didn’t look to impressed at coming off there like.

@Kim
He didnt look too impressive being on 😆
mark(Quote)
I’m glad all the Simmo and Willo haters have got their wish. We look solid as a rock without them now, and our new and improved super right back has been sparking attacks for us all night and helping us maintain pos…
oh, wait no. We look worse than ever 😆

In all fairness to Marv and Gouffron, they are paying either out of position or with a load of ****, Marv has never had one decent ball played in front of him.
ash1001(Quote)
Kim, who told you Pardew could read, will send him a book on tactics
ash1001(Quote)
Ash ,Don’t waste your hard earned lad,he’ll only ignore it.
KIMTOON(Quote)
Well back heeled Sammi, you total muppet
ash1001(Quote)
Fuk the eyes of the nation are watching Sammi let the ball just….roll out of play… 😳 😳 😳
Munich Mag(Quote)
Can we put a bid in for Morecambs defence 😉
KIMTOON(Quote)
good pass by Benny.
HBA39(Quote)
@Ash
Goofy is too weak for me. He doesnt offer enough. A squad filler given a huge role up front.
mark(Quote)
Benny still not right 😕
Newkie(Quote)

HBA39(Quote)
SHOLAAAAAAAAAAA
The only one of our strikers who can score 😆 😆
**** the haters!
Newkie(Quote)
Was that a goal? Forgot what they look like
Geordie Deb(Quote)
Prem good points -Elliott looks good as does Good imo .
KIMTOON(Quote)
well for me Sammi’s took his chance well along with Good and Dummett. Bigi has looked poor and bottled far too much..
mark(Quote)
Thank **** for Shola.
Andymag(Quote)
I like Curtis good really, never see him play, but he looks quiet confortable with ball, smart
HBA39(Quote)
**** goal.
More agony prolonged. Oh the joy 🙄
JJ(Quote)
Prem-Goode has been ****. Bigi and Gosling have looked decent imo.
Newkie(Quote)
Sammmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

stevep(Quote)
Sammy is our best 4-4-2 winger. Fact.
😆
😯
😥
Newkie(Quote)
There’s only two Ameobis
Geordie Deb(Quote)
PLEEZE don’t buy any more Frenchmen 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
Sammy to start on Saturday?
Andymag(Quote)
Oh you people are so easily swayed.
JJ(Quote)
Actually thank **** for HBA who made both the goals
stevep(Quote)
HBA was only player on the pitch who could actually see a pass
stevep(Quote)
Sammi and Shola, both infuriating but where would we be without them. 👿
Shola has a great scoring record so far this season / preseason.
Munich Mag(Quote)
JJ so bloody right mate
icedog(Quote)
Knacker Ned giving it large and giving it the big fist pump at the first goal. The bloke should be ashamed of himself. Says everything about Pardew’s mental state if this means so much to him.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Well we won but lets be honest the performance was **** , this game raises even more questions than gives answers . Imo our MOTM was our keeper and against this sort of opposition that its bad .

@JJ
it may the only time for a while we can show a little bit of Toon happiness. dnt knock it m8 😆
mark(Quote)
I don’t think anyones swayed by anything but I always want my team to win…Don’t worry about Pard’s he’ll be gone soon anyway.
richietoon(Quote)
MM
You play donkey tactics you need donkeys.
You can’t take a Porche on a 4×4 track and expect it to perform.
We should have bought Carroll back. He is perfect for Pardew’s tactics. He and Nolan.
Personally… I’m embarrassed by tonight. Nothing to be happy about.
JJ(Quote)
RT dead right mate. A win is a win at the end of the day, no matter how ugly.
Munich Mag(Quote)
RICHIE i hope so,god willing,dave said you had the body of a god,pity its a buddha like 😀 😀 😀
icedog(Quote)
well said Richie, lets be negative at a 2-0 win 🙄 😆
mark(Quote)
JJ, don’t misunderstand me mate. I’m far from happy. Look back at most of my posts, I’m top of the whinger league tonight mate 😆 😆
Munich Mag(Quote)
Richie,
I want long term success. Not a shitty win over a non league side that may keep this idiot in the hotseat for a prolonged period.
Sorry if that makes me a shitty supporter. Quite honestly I just feel sad. It hurts me to even see supporters getting so excited because we scrapped a win against Morecambe.
JJ(Quote)
Richie lets hope so
Geordie Deb(Quote)
JJ, Pardew’s fist punch at the goal said it all for me. Oh how the mighty have fallen. We have to put up with this utter dross all season.
Munich Mag(Quote)
JJ…He’ll be gone soon enough mate…you shitty supporter you 😉
MM…”I’m top of the whinger league tonight mate”…just tonight??? don’t be modest 😉 😆
Ice… 😆 my body is a temple…an old ruin!!(thought I’d join in with the old jokes) 😉
richietoon(Quote)
Just putting this out their , but would bringing back Joey Barton not be a bad idea ❓ i know he is a knobheed but i think he would bring something we are lacking at the minute , a player that brings a bit of fight ,passion and he does have a bit of skill as well .
