if u ask a true magpies supporter i would say that the nufc has a poor midfield players.i mean no creativity not to mention(butt,barton,guthireetc,etc).most of the goal scored in our club is by strikers.so would say that to bring back the quality in nufc side i would say to swoop ibrahim affely from PSV eindoven.and the midfieder(number 7,i forgot his name)of marsille.all the geordies must have noticed it.

If you ask me i would say that a win in this game is too essential because our loss to the bitter rivals sunderland is a big loss in about 27 years.so another derby loss means a big disgrace in this 2008/2009 campain .our value is lost.many other club supporters think us as a team that should be relegated.they forget until 2004 there used to be a
big five instead of big 4(arsenal,chelsea,man u,liverpool,nufc).so this humiliation to the toon army must be stopped after taking a win in the riverside stadium.
long time faithful supporter of the magpies.

Riise is great, no left back better in my opinion (liverpool fan) :) god luck newcastle, like to see him bac in england

A great player, he would fit well in to the vast majority of premiership sides, think he would be better suited to the reebok, rather than St James Park, Only joking Newcastle fans, if u get him then good on you, hope u are still in the premiership next season, I really enjoy my weekend in Newcastle, when we play u at home.

I always thought Riise was a decent player with a swift left foot, scored some cracking goals when he was at Liverpool. He's made a few mistakes (like all defenders do) but overall he's a good solid defender and if he goes to Newcastle on loan it would be a decent move, wonder if my club Man City have heard he's available (lol) we couls do with a decent left-back.

He`s a good player and only 28 years old. So he had a few good years left in him.
Ohh well, let`s look inside the lucky-dip once again.

thank god he is not a future investment
