Good morning, Toon Army. Let's beat the Baggies!
Usually, I only post match previews on game day, but this deserves a special mention:
Nile Ranger and Mike Williamson both signed contracts Saturday that will keep them Tyneside until 2016. Love it. (Lee Ryder, The Chronicle)
Previews
Matthew Campbell, EPLTalk - Weekly referee preview, always worth a look. Predicts lots of cards, a penalty, an ejection, and a 2-2 draw.
Stuart James, The Guardian - Some good match facts to whet your appetite. No prediction but their betting odds favor WBA.
Elliot Ball, Sky Sports - Focuses on the promotion storyline and speculates about selection. Predicts a 2-1 loss.
Martin Lipton, MirrorFootball - Picks against Newcastle yet again, but says it's "tough to call." Let's be honest; it wasn't that tough for you.
Toonsy, nufcblog.org - Notes some milestones and sees Joey Barton coming on for Danny Guthrie rather than Wayne Routledge, as is speculated most other places I've looked.
Ed Harrison, nufcblog.com - Foresees the same formation that Toonsy does and puts the onus on Sol Campbell and Steven Taylor to perform as well as they did last week.
Sometimes the captions write themselves.
