Greek test for the Toon tonight – Live on TV in the UK

Newcastle play their 4th game of pre-season and their first in Portugal tonight when they take on Greek side Olympiacos in the Guardian Tournament.

The 2045 BST kick-off is live on ESPN in the UK, and it clashes with the the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, which gets under way at 2100 BST.

Toon fan @jimmywt17 tweeted @nufcfans:

As far as the game is concerned, this is NUFC first of two games in two days. Tomorrow night the lads will play Hugo Viana’s SC Braga in a 2045 BST kick-off also live on ESPN.

Over the two games, we’re likely to see plenty of chopping and changing. Yohan Cabaye, Tim Krul and Steven Taylor are the three big players back in contention. Hatem Ben Arfa will meet-up with the lads but hasn’t trained so is unlikely to play.

We’ll be bringing you live text updates from the game on our Twitter page, @nufcfans and Facebook too.

So, what will you be watching – Newcastle United or the Olympics opening ceremony?

All we care about is NUFC!
