Should be a good game. Do you know if any of the big name United players will be playing?

Yea the whole 1st team including Shearer are coming over. Looking forward to it myself. Hopefully we'll get a good crowd.

Yep the whole squad AFAIK are coming over, last chance for match shaprnish and fitness etc.... I reckon they will field a different side in each half, just like us, cause we have a big match Vs. Bohs on Thursday night as well.

I remember the last time they came over they had just signed Stephen Guiverach (spelling ? world cup winner with france) and he lasted about 13 minutes into his debut, from then on his career was plauged with injuries and he was never the same)

How did Devo pull that stroke? I remember he was able to get a friendly with Celtic in Tolka 6 years ago due to his friendship with Dalgleish. Did he establish some connections with Newcastle during Dalgleish's time there?

I read that Given and Shearer might not play due to niggling injuries.

He must have plus I think he's mates with Souness as well. We've had Blackburn over a couple of times too. Devo has a lot of connections.
