TEAM NEWS

Newcastle pair Demba Ba and Yohan Cabaye are fit for Sunday's game despite reportedly suffering injuries on international duty.

Danny Guthrie and Sammy Ameobi are doubts with respective groin and hamstring problems.

Tottenham's Vedran Corluka and Niko Kranjcar have been ruled out with foot and thigh injuries respectively.

There are doubts over Emmanuel Adebayor (hamstring), Aaron Lennon (groin) and Sandro (calf).

MATCH PREVIEW

This should be a cracker as two of the most in-form teams in the country meet at St James' Park, with both clubs having a reputation for attacking, "devil may care" football.

That said, this is a Newcastle that isn't quite so gung ho about its business these days, having conceded fewer goals than any other team in the Premier League this season.
Alan Pardew's attention to defensive detail is one of the key factors behind the Toon's impressive unbeaten start, with only Nottingham Forest in the Carling Cup scoring more than one goal against them in a game.

Wolves should have done a fortnight ago, but the luck with refereeing decisions that Newcastle enjoyed at Molineux shouldn't detract from their best start to a season since 1994.

Spurs come north looking for a fifth league win in a row, with their 2-1 defeat of Arsenal last time out providing one of the most entertaining games of the season so far. The last time they completed a nap hand of victories was in their march to a Champions League place in the spring of 2010, with the run ending in the north east at Sunderland.

Newcastle hasn't been any kinder to them in recent years. Aaron Lennon's late equaliser in this fixture in January won Spurs their only point in their last five league games on Tyneside.

I would think Harry Redknapp would be pleased enough with another point from the place he could have gone to in 2008. The same goes for Pardew against one of his old clubs. How many remember his four Intertoto Cup games for Spurs in 1995?

You dont like battered mars bars then lee ? never had one myself because i reckon thats too much cholsterol for anyones body to imbibe.
Bit much though slapping someone because of what they eat its all to do with different cultures and i dont like the phillapeanos for scorching dogs to death because they think the meat tastes better if the animal died in agony .
Strange old world we live in yeah ? at least a battered mars bar doesnt feel a thing !

Lew! iv started up a new thread in general chat to continue this chat mate!

todays team - Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto; Modric, Livermore, Parker, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor

bench boys Cudicini, Bassong, Rose, Giovani, Townsend, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko.

Happy with the fact that ade is playing, we need the the bloke and i reckon he will punish the geordies.

More goals in this - Taylor is a clumsy git so at which end we will see

Newcastle 2 - 2 Tottenham


It was a feisty Premier League match at St James' Park


Shola Ameobi came off the bench to score as Newcastle maintained their unbeaten start to the season by drawing with Tottenham.

Rafael van der Vaart opened the scoring from the spot after Steven Taylor was judged to have brought down Emmanuel Adebayor.

Demba Ba equalised for Newcastle from close range before substitute Jermain Defoe fired in low to put Spurs ahead.

But Ameobi won a point for Newcastle when he struck in from the angle.

It was an outstanding strike by the substitute who was played in with a cute flick from Magpies playmaker Yohan Cabaye.

The equaliser came four minutes from normal time although both the home side and the visitors could have take away all three points in a frenetic final five minutes.

Defoe twice had a chance to score, but his first shot was brilliantly blocked by Steven Taylor before the follow-up was palmed away by Tim Krul.

And in stoppage time, Newcastle defender Fabricio Coloccini had a chance to become a hero but he fired wide after turning inside the six-yard area.

The finale was in stark contrast to a rather subdued first half during which Newcastle were content to contain the visitors.

The home side's disciplined approach was working a treat until five minutes before half-time, when they made an error.

Cabaye had the ball poked from his possession by Jake Livermore and Adebayor ran on to the loose ball before he was clipped by Taylor in the area.

Referee Lee Probert looked at his linesman for guidance before pointing to the spot.

The Magpies ditched their conservative tactics after the break and three minutes into the half they were level.

Argentine Gutierrez left Luka Modric sleeping on the left and got down to the by-line before dinking the ball into the area which was slid in by Ba. It was the fifth goal in three games for the Senegal international.

However, Spurs, free from their chains, were now also able to play their game.

Adebayor was twice unlucky not to put his side back in front. He first screwed a shot an inch wide before Krul cleared just as the Togo striker was about to shoot.

However, a minute later they finally scored the second when Defoe spun in a flash to drill a low strike past the Dutch goalkeeper.

Alan Pardew's men were now 22 minutes from losing their unbeaten record.

Both Tiote and Ryan Taylor went close when their long-range strikes were saved Brad Friedel but the American stopper had no chance of saving Ameobi's strike.

The home-grown striker picked up quick ball from Cabaye and rifled his effort low and hard into the bottom left corner of Friedel's goal.

The Magpies remain in fourth while Spurs move up to sixth in the Premier League table.

Exactly Baz we play 5 midfield and then play over them with the lump up to the front man. Thought we would stop that when Crouch went but no we're still at it. Mind you it worked for Defoe but it wasn't a pass, just a lump and Defoe did really well to turn it into a goal. Like you totally p*ssed off.
