Early Newcastle news

[silverfox]

Looks like £10million striker Obafemi Martins could be out against the Blades with a hamstring strain.

I don't know whether it's good news or bad.....he's not looked that special to me.

I've been to a few matches this season at the toon, and he has only looked average really

I've heard some toon fans aren't that chuffed with him for the cost.

he is a quality player though im sure he just needs to score a couple to get started

Usually takes foreign strikers a while to adjust to the premiership, i think he will prove a bit of a cult hero in time. That said i don't think he is a massive goal threat and i fancy this game with or without him playing.

If Owen was fit, it would be a different story.

Not just upfront where they don't do so well these days, their defence is so shocking even Wednesday could score against them especially when Titus Bramble and Steve Taylor who keeps trying to fake injuries are in it.

yep newcastle are very average this season, many of their "star players" are injured and with players like duff out of position we have a very good chance
