Kick-off is at 7pm local time (6pm UK time) and the match is scheduled to be broadcast live from the Hacker-Pschorr Sports Park Arena courtesy of ESPN.
Newcastle lost their opening fixture of the pre-season schedule 1-0 to German third division side Chemnitzer FC although it must also be pointed out that our starting line up barely resembled the one which will start in the opening Premier League game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur in approximately one months time and was instead filled with what can be called fringe players and prospects.
However this evening we are likely to see a stronger line up with Fabricio Coloccini set to start and Papiss Cisse, Cheik Tiote and Sylvain Marveaux likely to play some part in proceedings this evening. There will still be a chance for some youngsters to shine with James Tavernier tipped to start at right-back with an opportunity for more to shine during the course of the match.
I remember a time when Newcastle played AS Monaco in the UEFA Cup. It wasn’t that long ago to be fair and if I recall correctly they knocked us out (remember Jean Tigana and has chewy matchstick thing?). Right now though they languish in the French Ligue 2 after failing to win promotion back to Ligue 1 at the first attempt. In contrast we’ve followed the same path but managed to escape the second tier at the first time of asking and now we’re back in Europe.
Funny how things work out isn’t it?
Sounds like abeid and big I are playing well

Monaco to win 8/1 😯 would have thought it ight’ve been a bit higher considering how we’re winning half-way through the game against a lower league foreign side(granted we were beaten on Friday by one but you know what I mean).

With us or Fulham?
Andymag(Quote)
AOD I can’t see how they have sorted wages etc if they haven’t agreed stuff between clubs 😕
Big Dave(Quote)
bbc reckon he would jump at the chance to come home now
hitman(Quote)
Monaco have came out with all guns blazing
Big Dave(Quote)
Was away having me dinner, what’s happened? Any subs made at half-time?
Andymag(Quote)
Ha ha.
Where the hell is it being played?
Jesmond Dene?
Pootle(Quote)
How was Ba’s celebration? Did he go mental? lol
OHurley(Quote)
OH hows it going lad as for the celebration it was a typical preseason one
Big Dave(Quote)
Here comes Obertan, closely followed by his orbiting moons 😆 Oh how i’ve missed that giant head.
Jon R(Quote)
It’s actually quite difficult to get a strong overview of how well we are playing when the camera appears to be in the dugout.
Pootle(Quote)
Hopefully this season he has found a footballing brain to go in his giant heed.
😆
Pootle(Quote)
Pootle he allready has a brain but its dead 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
Marv getting a run out 😉
Big Dave(Quote)
How the hell did Frank Sidebottom not finish that!!
Lol.
Pootle(Quote)
Oba should have buried that, Marv looks good and real quick feet
Big Dave(Quote)
Well its a win ,job done 😀
kimtoon(Quote)
Oh no. Pitch invasion. Hope we don’t get penalised.
Pootle(Quote)
That would be mint, see Simpson is having a bit of banter with a fan. Also before Demba was having a picture with a fan when coming off. Here’s to the wee boy in the barca shirt, he doesnt give a f-ck
Andymag(Quote)
Well, that was ok, I suppose.
Hope the Fenerbahce match is in a real stadium with real camera angles and a little bit more competitive though.

Fenebahce will be the real test to see how we’ll do against a proper euro team, a teamm similar to that in which we’d play in the Europa league. I see us losing 🙁 .
Andymag(Quote)
If I’d known beforehand that they were playing in Jesmond Dene I would have walked over and watched it.
Pootle(Quote)
Hopefully we’ll take it a touch more competitively though Andy.
Possibly play better players and in a sensible formation to give us a bit more of an idea where we’re at.
Pootle(Quote)
Pootle
Aye ya couldve said hay to barnetta too 😉
Andymag(Quote)
Aye, Taylor might play that one and we might have the French boys and Krul back (maybe even a new signing 😛 ).

@toonsy
You didn’t answer my question @ 187 on the previous thread .
I’m really interested in your response.
I hope you aren’t taking the Trumpet, Thud, Begas, Chicken et al stance. Ask a hard question and challenge their views they go on the defensive or just ignore me in a hissy fit. 😛
I’m sure it will be an oversight on your behalf. You aren’t the huffy type. Erratic and explosive and then cool down but not long term huffs. 😆
Troy Stavers(Quote)
I’m kind of hoping we get this Anita now (if he’s really as good as people say).
I think him and Tiote in the middle could really give us a strong midfield core that would allow Santon and Debuchy to do what they’re good at, and allow Cabaye to play further forward.
Of course it all depends on whether were actually interested in him and whether he lives up to the billing he’s received!!!
Pootle(Quote)
Cheeses Christ. I haven’t seen pootle on for ages.
I can’t remember if he’s an ally or foe?
Remind me Poots. 😉
Troy Stavers(Quote)
Troy Batty has been known to take a huff too 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
Troy – I’ve been at work since 2pm, then away from the computer before that. I wrote this article this morning and set it on timer to take us through the match and give people something fresh, like a match, to talk about.
Not being ignorant. I’ll read and reply either when I get in in the morning or when I get back from the doctors with the boy tomorrow mid-morning 🙂 On my phone at the min and my battery is gash
toonsy(Quote)
Lol. Well I’m not a tigger (or are we not doing that nonsense anymore?!?)
😆
Pootle(Quote)
@Big Dave
Aye. I’ve noticed that about Batty. I once asked him to stoke the train fire and he took the huff cos he wanted to be the ticket collector! 😆
Troy Stavers(Quote)
🙄 troy 😆 go back and read the last bits of the last thread dave accusing me of things ,he must think iam solano trumpet 😉
batty(Quote)
Beckham just scored a pearler!!
If Alan Partridge was commentating he would have said ‘Boof!! Eat my goal!!’
Pootle(Quote)
@Pootle
The Tigger thing was not nonsense . It summed the dreamers up nicely. 😛
Every star we got linked to they used to jump up and down with excitement. They sharp realised that it was all fantasy football and the blisters on their feet were a sharp reminder of reality. 😆
I blame the parents for leading them a sheltered life. 😆
Troy Stavers(Quote)
oh Batts is back I hope to fuk you picked them toys up they’re all over the place 😀
Oh and what do you mean by the ST part 😕
Big Dave(Quote)
He’s just done it again from a free-kick!!!!
Get that man to the Olympics!!
Pootle(Quote)
Didn’t see any of the game but picking up from chit chat and looking at our squad listing we really do need a centre back of real quality.
Is it true Douglas cannot leave Holland before 24 August or he cannot receive Dutch nationality status

@BD
Am I rightin thinking that the £7m clause in Ba ‘s contract is only effective until the end of July?
Troy Stavers(Quote)
dave your getting just like him st that is 😆 😆
batty(Quote)

batty(Quote)
The Olympics football team is a **** idea.
There are age limits and all sorts .
Footy should not be in the games. Ridiculous!
Troy Stavers(Quote)
Troy thats what I heard it is up to and including July 31st
Big Dave(Quote)
I’ve had time to think while I was away, Troy.
I’ve finally come to realise that Fat Freddie is to blame for everything bad in the world, from our relegation through to the crisis in the Middle East, the rise of Hitler, Bubonic plague and slugs and snails.
Ashley is the son of God and all his mistakes were caused by the dark agents of Fat Fred. He’s also going to get us five Lionel Messi’s all on free transfers.
I’ve also finally come to realise that tactics are fundamentally useless because they are too difficult to comprehend for normal humans. A bit like dog whistles.
Pootle(Quote)
Batty @ 121 you’ll soon be on the receiving end of a wet kipper you come off with **** like that, that like me saying your like Chuck 😆 😆
@ 122 whats up can’t take it
Big Dave(Quote)

@pootle
Do I agree? I do agree. At least to a degree. To agree more would be greedy. I think we will have to agree to disagree. Agree? 😯
Troy Stavers(Quote)
@toby
I totally agree we need another quality centre half.

Am I a tigger troy? I can’t remember.

Nobby your the flutter by 😀
Ice @ 127 ?? and did you see Batty’s in a huff 😀
Big Dave(Quote)
Ice I just noticed that Worky is threatening to give the blog up again 😆 😆 😆 cause it is too much for him on his own 😀 so I guess its another cry for help only this time its not about money 😳
Big Dave(Quote)
DAVE batty got you on a wind up,and you bit, that sealing gear got to you mate,aye no 24 shirt for andy hes happy with the money 😉
icedog(Quote)
DAVE i told toonsy he would not see the season start a while ago,he will let someone run it,hes short of scribes never looked but bet he claiming health reasons 😉
icedog(Quote)
Ill admit to being a fence sitter…. I just like to way up all the intel before I commit!
Nobby(Quote)
Ice no not yet at the minute its because no one is helping him run ( his blog ), but yet he still treats the ones that did like ****, I noticed Clint got some of the blame aswell
Big Dave(Quote)
TOBY @119 yeah its true he wants Dutch nationality because he thinks he will then get picked for Holland . The thinking here is the deal will be done , personally i think its a disaster waiting to happen . If we get him then i will support him while he wears a black and white shirt , but i honestly think he will be as bad as the last brazilian defender we had Cacapca. Still Carr and Pardew know more than me about all things football and they believe in him .
Axel(Quote)
@nobby
But you never commit. 😆
Troy Stavers(Quote)
Troy cause he hasn’t got any intel yet 😆 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
I hope worky keeps his blog going, or else some of his posters are sure to find their way over here
