It’s always a tough ask to beat Manchester United but, as ever, fans will be hopeful of causing an upset in front of a packed out St James’ Park.
The Sky TV cameras are in town tonight and will be broadcasting the match around the globe, which is great if you’re going to the pub or sitting at home watching on Sky, but not so great if you can’t do either. Luckily these days all you need is an internet connection, which you probably have if you’re reading this! Fortunately the chances of catching a stream this evening are pretty high.
For a preview of the match why not peruse my match preview which you can do by clicking here or if you’re more of a numbers guy or gal why not take a look at NUFC stats statistical preview of the match by clicking here.
There isn’t too much else for me to add really that hasn’t already been said. Now it’s over to the most important part – the match. Team news will appear below as and when it becomes available and hopefully we’ll be naming a winning team against the Red Devils. We’ll see!
Howay the lads!

Big Dave(Quote)
Jonas needs to come off; he hasn’t had a good game.
King Arfa(Quote)
You know it’s not your year (Looking at you Bolton) when a Keeper scores against you. Hope I get to see that on a replay tonight.
NorCal Toonfan(Quote)

toonsy(Quote)
We need to put our foot on the ball to take the sting out of the game..
Munich Mag(Quote)
Little pea on watch em score now.
kimtoon(Quote)
Everton 1-1 Bolton
Shola looks knacked. Time for Benny or Vuckic IMO
toonsy(Quote)
Sola or Gutti off which one?
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
Bloody hell, it really is awfully windy out there.
King Arfa(Quote)
Who’d be a goalie in these conditions eh.
kimtoon(Quote)
Hernandez looks like a twink 👿
toonsy(Quote)
10 more minutes Ben Arfa needs to come on for Shola.
JJ(Quote)
Kimtoon…give ower man.. 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
Pen Spot – both
M(Quote)
JJ yeh I’d take HBA over best just now.
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
Ferdinand is terrible now days
JJ(Quote)
Come on lads, keep disrupting the game, don’t let them get a holdon the game…
Munich Mag(Quote)
bloody commentator (dont know name) still down on us!
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
MU falling apart 😀
Penalty-Spot(Quote)

M(Quote)
2-0 always makes me nervous 😕
toonsy(Quote)
If Best is fit, we need to swap him and Shola soon…
Munich Mag(Quote)
Munich mag, am i missing something ,what have i said wrong ?
kimtoon(Quote)
Rooney off 😕
toonsy(Quote)
Rooney off, thats nice.
JJ(Quote)
Leon on Shola off
toonsy(Quote)
No matter how much the commentators blather with there pro Man U gash, they just cannae do it. Howay lads !!!
Munich Mag(Quote)
Oh no they’ve taken the ineffectual Rooney off. We’re fooked 😛
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
Leon Best? Wtf!
King Arfa(Quote)
Everton 1-2 Bolton
toonsy(Quote)
sorry Kimtoon, no problems mate, you just get me nervous with your “watch them score” comment 😆 😆
Munich Mag(Quote)
Ba has been amazing. But so has everyone else…
JJ(Quote)
I thought for sure Benny would have came on for Shola 😕 or maybe Raylor or Jonas will be making way
Big Dave(Quote)
Perch 😕
toonsy(Quote)
perch for cabaye.NO FKIN WAY
hitman(Quote)
PERCH!
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
Good move Best on, we need to keep the Man U back line busy, and 2 men WILL keep them busy.
Perch on for Cabaye 😯 😯 😯 eh 🙄 🙄
Munich Mag(Quote)
Surely Perch substitution could have waited 5 more minutes.
JJ(Quote)
Oh right , sorry mate it’s just me with me glass half empty attitude lol
kimtoon(Quote)
Can understand best, not changing the shape and all that. but Perch?
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
Ba is f ucking unreal
TOONPIPES(Quote)
S’pose we should defend a 2-0 lead 😐
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
we’re getting plenty of joy in the air – Best for Shola makes sense
M(Quote)
Perch wtf noooooooooooooo
kimtoon(Quote)
Ten mins to go
toonsy(Quote)
I think Perch in the midfield is better than Perch in the back quite honestly. I thought he looked ok the couple times he came on earlier in the season for Cabaye.
NorCal Toonfan(Quote)
I reckon we’ll see Obertan on for Raylor…
Munich Mag(Quote)
Tiote had to do that to cover his own balls up
toonsy(Quote)
Would like to see Ben Arfa come on though as well.
NorCal Toonfan(Quote)
yeh I’d like HBA on now. More for him than us like.
Penalty-Spot(Quote)
I think Pards has put Benny in the bad boys corner for blabbing to the media. 🙁
kimtoon(Quote)
Why the surprise at Perch?…..2 nowt up, less than 15 min left, bring on a defensive midfielder, commonsense really……….the fact he’s not the best is a bit of a drawback, but hey ho 😉
richietoon(Quote)
Albert in the house
M(Quote)
KIMTOOM may be so? hope Benny don’t throw one…mind you we’re doing OK 😀
