Hello, good afternoon and welcome to our regular “match banter” feature.
Today sees the Magpies facing a testing home fixture against Harry Redknapp’s stylish and dangerous North London club, Tottenham Hotspur, who are hot on the heels of ourselves at sixth in the Premiership with a game two games in hand on the opposition, one because this game is on a Sunday and one cancelled in the wake of civil unrest in one of the most salubrious parts of the capital.
For some far more detailed and extensive posts looking forward to this game with stats, interviews, team news, probable squads / formations and all that kind of thing, please check out Jimbob’s excellent match preview and my own “What the managers are saying” piece.
