Game on! Newcastle v Wolves.

Sing our hearts out for the lads!
Relax, and breath. Or try to anyway….

The game today carries an awful lot of significance with regard to the relegation race.

A win for the home side will restore a bit of a cushion between us and the relegation places whilst a loss will drag us right into the mire, which seemed improbable just a few weeks back but a run of only one win in ten games has seen the points cushion that we had built up start to get chipped away at.

In the interests of balance, and to add a bit of positivity to the article, if the results in these fixtures all happen to fall our way then we could end the weekend sitting in ninth place above Sunderland. Wouldn’t that be nice! Knowing Newcastle however, every result will go our way apart from our own…..

I have no doubt that the game will be a tense and nervy affair. Both sides are missing a few players and both sides need the points. The fans will play their part today of course, but the players need to show that they mean business and start off at a fast pace. I hope those who are able to attend the match today are in fine voice and get the result that will keep them singing.

For those who can’t make it, like me, an internet stream will have to suffice. A quick look at the MyP2P doesn’t fill me with too much hope of catching one to be honest, so if you guys can track one down then please feel free to share a link in the ‘comments’ section below.

That’s about it to be honest. Team news will be up as soon as I can get my hands on it, and all that is left for me to say is…..

Howay the lads!

  1. What p*ssed me off the most was when he had the ball then just booted it up the pitch for no reason at all.

  6. Ice I fancy us against the villa I would like to see Jose back so we could push young Fergie into MF and I think Guthrie done well today, and I wouldn’t mind see a MF of Fergie, Guthrie, Barton and Jonas 😉

  12. be interesting to see who we put in midfield against Villa,

    No Tiote, Nolan and doubt Ireland won’t be allowed to play against his club
    Fergie, Guthers, Barton, Jonas?

  13. Toonsy….you’re avatar made the difference today big man !….516 hits on one single post …immense mate….me Saturday night was saved !!

    Say what you like about Shola, but he’s a Geordie legend at the end of the day, and just puts the ball in the back of the net. Well done big man….!
