🤔 WHO AM I?
I signed in 2011 from Lille and established myself as a key player in midfield, known for my passing ability and set pieces. I played a crucial role in helping secure a fifth-place finish during the 2011-12 season. After a successful stint at the club, I moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2014.
📋 THE GAME PLAN
A Chance to Break into the Top 5 Against the Seagulls ⬆️
After a loss to Fulham and back to back draws against Manchester City and Everton, we are without a win in 3 Premiere League Games.
The way I see it, we have a massive oppertuity to turn things around at home against the Seagulls and break into the top 5.
With Newcastle currently sitting seventh and Brighton just above them in sixth, both on 12 points but separated by goal difference.
Brighton is on a high after a thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Tottenham and they’ll be looking to keep that momentum going.
Here’s some good news: Newcastle hasn’t lost to Brighton in our last three home matches - let’s hope we can keep that streak alive!
Updates from Eddie are suggesting that we are more than likely to miss Callum Wilson, but with a return for Isak on the cards - I think we can live with that one.
Brighton are not without their injury struggles, they will be without Solly March and Matt O’Riley.
Key things to know 👇
🪢 Both teams are tied on 12 points and looking to break into the top 5.
🥅 Isak is looking likely to return with Callum Wilson still doubtful.
✅ Newcatle is without a Premiere League win in 3 games but unbeaten in their last 3 home matches against Brighton.
🩼 Brighton are coming to St. James’ off he back of a 3-2 win over spurs but will be without Solly March & Matt O’Riley.

Can we break the Championship attendance record!? 🏟️
The Lasses will face Charlton Athletic Women in a Championship match at 12 PM on Sunday at Kingston Park.

They're coming right off the back of an impressive 2-1 away victory with a record breaking attendance against Sunderland last weekend.
