I'm not holding any hopes for this game, cause usually my hopes are shattered!
we're away from home, with a few injury problems, Owen will not be on the bench..

Soooo I am going for a score draw!.....1-1

i think we're going to lose. sorry to be negative but i dont feel a win coming on.

I'm confident for once! I know Portsmouth's last home game was a win over ManYoo but they got embarrased by Watford last week and will still be hurting. Let's face it, the way we've been travelling (and in previous years) a draw with Arsenal is a great result.

Come on the Toon 2 - 1!

Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell remains a doubt with an Achilles injury while right-back Glen Johnson (knee) is also sidelined.

Lauren returns to boost the squad after being rested.

Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given is out of their trip to Fratton Park with a groin injury so Steve Harper deputises.

Kieron Dyer (hamstring), Scott Parker (ankle), Craig Moore (groin) and Antoine Sibierski (knee) could all be fit to play some part for the Magpies.
