Ain’t snow stopping us now. Despite the downpour of white stuff in the North-East St James’ Park is good to go to play host to Chelsea and that is where we start our Sunday affairs.

Newcastle welcome Cheikh Tiote back into their team after suspension, Sol Campbell and Steven Taylor cover for the suspended Williamson and Coloccini while Wayne Routledge comes in for Kevin Nolan who has picked up a knock. Chelsea play the eleven as revealed earlier in the week..

Newcastle XI: Krul; Simpson, Campbell, S. Taylor, Enrique; Routledge, Guthrie, Tiote, Gutierrez; Ameobi, Carroll

Chelsea XI: Cech; Bosingwa, Alex, Ivanovic, Cole; Mikel, Ramires, Malouda; Anelka, Drogba, Kalou

After we weather the storms up north we have Spurs playing host to Liverpool to warm our cockles while the gameweek comes to a close.

All of you looking for your matchday fix can of course head into the Dugout Discussion to discuss your favourite snowflake or, preferably, Fernando Torres’ impending hat-trick.

      Chelsea aren't allowed to get penalties. It's a new directive from the Premier League and FA. May as well transfer Drogba out now, and you can forget about ever getting Lampard in....

    Tevez,Rooney,Torres

    Know a bit of a lightweight-cheap midfield but does the 3 strikers make up for that? Or best to maybe get vdv in and spend bit less on striker 2 partner Tevez,Rooney,

          they're not bad transfers but i'd be hesitant about taking elmander out quite so soon, a 2pt gameweek was gonna happen sometime! see how torres does today then go with your gut; i can see all of those transfers reaping rewards over the next 5-10 gws.

      Bad run of form, happens to every team.

      Bit harsh to sack your coach when you're 2 points behind the leaders with 23 games left 🙂

      No lampard and essien they'll vastly improve when they return. I still think man utd will win the title. Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers ever. Abramovic really needs to control himself hes becoming an embarrassment bordering on disgrace.

    For those who own both Drogba & Malouda, considering transferring 1 of them out?

    I think both is too much as I can't see Chelsea emulating their start to the season.

      I've been hearing quite a lot of this, but despite his obvious flaws, GJ is better defensively than the majority of RBs in the league, and is one of only a few that can match Bale for pace.

      I wouldn't get overly excited about it...

        Bale actually gets pocketed by most right backs in the league these days. He had to drift out to the right wing against Arsenal last weekend because Sagna wasn't giving him a kick. Neville and Steinsson have done a job on him in recent weeks too.

        Yet he's still favourite for PFA Player of the Year. There's one Sp*rs player who deserves a nomination for that award, but it's not Gareth Bale.
