This Weekend's Fixtures & Palace v Sunderland (01/02/03 Nov).

[Niall_Quinn]

Sissoko booked. Off to Leeds now but I doubt I will miss too much.

I suppose Balotelli could do something very weird and very stupid, but barring that you're safe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balotelli doesn't even do that now. He may miss a sitter but plenty do that.

[Niall_Quinn]

Allen off, Borini on.

Ameobi off, Cabella on

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm enduring this in the hope our game against Burnley might be ever so slightly more interesting by comparison.

[Niall_Quinn]

Borini That's appalling.

[Niall_Quinn]

Henderson booked.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

These players look as hungover and lacking in sleep as I am

[Niall_Quinn]

1-0 Newcastle

Bit of a scrappy effort.

[Niall_Quinn]

Perez scored it, Moreno with the assist.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Mixed blessings for Newcastle

Pardews job looks secure
