“Shed Seven is always my brother’s choice for our drunkenly discussed dream mid-90s festival line up, as well as Mansun,” states Kieran Walsh. “I’m more partial to Suede or Dinosaur Jnr, death to Britpop!”

Dramatis personæ

Here then are the men who are going to make or break your day. For the home side, Cisse is back from his dose of knee knack and ready to frighten the bejaysus out of the Liverpool defence, while Abeid makes his Barclays Premier League. The midfielder has made eight appearances for the club since rocking up in the north east 2011 but they have all come in cup competitions, be they domestic or European. Krul, Taylor Sissoko and Ameobi also return to the starting 11 after the midweek win Manchester City. As for Liverpool, he starts, but then we always knew he would after his goal against Swansea. There are three changes from the from the side that drew with Hull last weekend with Johnson, Henderson and Coutinho coming in for Manquillo, Can and Lallana. Those teams in full are:

Newcastle: Krul; Janmaat, S. Taylor, Coloccini, Dummett; Sissoko, Abeid, Colback; Obertan, Cisse, Ameobi. Subs: Elliot, Haidara, R.Taylor, Aarons, Cabella, Gouffran, Perez

Liverpool: Mignolet, Johnson, Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Gerrard, Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Balotelli. Subs: Jones, Toure, Manquillo, Lallana, Can, Lambert, Borini.

The referee: Andre Marriner

The weather: Shiny

The players are on the pitch, the fans are in the stands, the pie-sellers are in place and we are almost ready to get busy. Newcastle are in their traditional black and white number while Liverpool are in their home red. Call me old fashioned but there is something particularly nice about seeing two sides tog out in their home jerseys. Down with this new-fangled 3rd strip business. In the stands one of the Newcastle fans holds a banner reading: “Pardew back from the dead”

1 min After a perfectly-observed minute silence to commemorate those who died in conflict (you could hear the birds squawking above the stadium) Liverpool, playing left to right, get us going.

2 mins Early indication are that Balotelli has lined up on the right and Coutinho has lined up in the middle. It also looks like he is starting with a back three. How very odd. Is Brendan doing some of that over-thinking stuff? Nothing interesting, in terms of action, to report from the pitch so far.

4 mins Newcastle get a throw near the corner flag of the left. Liverpool clear that but Newcaslte win another. The exact same process happens again. After this one, the home side fire a cross into the box, Obertan gets in front of his man and tees it up for Cisse but his shot is blocked over the bar. Newcaslte get a corner. Skrtel clears that with his head.

21 mins This time Newcastle attack down the left via Ameobi. He gets his sprint on – beating Johnson with ease – and then his cross on. The latter is decent but Srktel clears. Newcastle attack again and this time Skrtel has to give away a corner. That is fired to the back post but Lovren does enough to ease the pressure on his side.

19 mins A long throw from Krul sends Obertan scurrying down the right. He cuts inside and plays a one-two with Colback before continuing his run down the right. He looks to cross into the box but his effort is weak and Liverpool deal with the danger.

17 mins Liverpool are stodgy here. They look slow and pedestrian and a bit short on ideas. And just as that sentence is typed, Balotelli gives away a needless foul on the edge of the Newcastle box to bring an end to a Liverpool attack.

15 mins Just seen a reply of the alleged penalty. Marriner didn’t have the best view but think he made the right decision. Sissoko went down a bit too easily.

10 mins The Newcastle fans want a penalty and they might have a point. Obertan put on funky shoes and danced his way down the right with some speed. Near the end line, he pulled the ball back for Sissoko who was ready to shoot for glory only for Allen to nick his ankles. The referee says no but you’ve seen them given.

8 mins “I heard those birds as well,” says JR in Illinois. “What is wrong with them? That was very rude. They’ve already sorted the horses in Newcastle; looks like the birds need to be taught a lesson as well.”

6 mins Liverpool press high and force Krul to kick long. Newcastle win the header and work the ball down the right, before coming back inside and then back outside. Newcastle keep on passing and the ball comes back to Krul once more. Long it goes and eventually to Cisse. He takes a shot that goes out for a throw.

31 mins A long ball from Gerrard finds Balotelli down the left. He tries a trick or treat but is immediately dealt with by Janmaat. Other than the foul, that is all he has done in this game. Ho hum.

ianmccourt If nobody watched football with subtitles, we never would have seen this attempt at 'Januzaj' - http://t.co/hacXEdipLG

Meanwhile, from a Newcastle throw, Aarons spins Johnson who subsequently takes him to the ground to give away a free-kick near the corner flag on the left. The ball ding and dongs its away around the box for a moment or two but Liverpool soon smother it to safety.

26 mins That is indeed it for Obertan and it is Aarons who replaces him.

25 mins Mac Millings has been in touch: “Fun Shed Seven Fact: the band was named after one of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Unpleasant Structures” series, also featuring the classic “Slaughterhouse Five” and the best-forgotten “Outdoor Toilet Six”.”

34 mins Aarons picks the ball up a fair distance from the goal. He gets going and glides past Gerrard before the Liverpool captain catches up and helps to make the young man the meat in sandwich with Allen acting as the other piece of bread. A free-kick is awarded about 25 yards from goal. Abeid takes but the wall does its job. A corner it is but it’s a poor one that Gerrard clears. However, that clearance is even worse and it lands at the feet of Sissoko. His effort clears the bar and lands in Scotland.
