Tooning in to TV matches.

The Toon on the telly.
There are only seven games of this season left and, thankfully, it looks as though Newcastle United have done enough to earn another crack at this Premier League malarkey next season.

The good news is that out of those seven games, four of them are on the TV, which is great news for those who are unable to get to the games live and means that they can be a part of the action and don’t have to put up with dodgy internet streams. Incidentally, those who do have to put up with dodgy internet streams still should have a boost as the streams are generally of a higher quality when a match is on live TV. Apparently. So I’ve been told.

So just to keep you up to speed, these are the four matches in question:

10-04-2011 Aston Villa v Newcastle – 4pm KO.
19-04-2011 Newcastle v Man Utd – 7:45pm KO.
01-05-2011 Liverpool v Newcastle – 12pm KO.
15-05-2011 Chelsea v Newcastle – 1:30pm KO.

I don’t expect us to get much out of those fixtures if I’m being honest, although I would love to get at least one result out of them.

Is it a good omen though? Do the Toon always shine on TV? Well, lets have a look by taking a peek at what the results have been when our Premier League games gave been on TV this term

Man Utd 3-0 Newcastle.
Newcastle 6-0 Aston Villa.
Newcastle 1-2 Stoke.
Man City 2-1 Newcastle.
West Ham 1-2 Newcastle.
Newcastle 5-1 5under1and.
Arsenal 0-1 Newcastle.
Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea.
Newcastle 3-1 Liverpool.
Wigan 0-1 Newcastle.
Fulham 1-0 Newcastle.

That’s 11 games so far, six wins, four defeats and one draw. Not too shabby.

Of course it means little in terms of any potential result in the next four televised games, but it’s always nice to look back as we’ve had some cracking results beamed around the world already this year.

So clear your diaries!

  29. Toonsy, I would wait a bit because more of it will come out, no doubt the journalists will have better info than the translation.

  40. “The club Newcastle I was very respected, he said the Canal Football Club. They gave me lots of love. I was really touched. I want to give them everything. ”

  42. “I do not really understand English. But in his text, he told me how he did not intend to hurt me and he was sorry. I told him it was okay, it was football. Anyway, the problem is that there was not even fault. I think he can get away with anything if there are no sanctions. I do not want to fall on the referees, but we still have a little more to do to protect players if he wants to tackle this way again to think twice.”

    Couldn’t agree more Benny. 😉

  46. Dave est un enfant, pourquoi faut-il appeler mon nom méchant qui pourrait me dérange quand je suis juste essayer de mettre à jour everybodyon les dernières nouvelles de Ben Arfa. Je l’appellerais que l’intimidation, je ne suis pas le DJG prochaine

  47. ‘I must say that the Magpies are doing everything to put the international tricolor in the best conditions. Protecting it as it should, the same English club intends to give the house keys to Ben Arfa. Thus, as revealed by Alan Pardew, the former Olympique Marseille player should move to the position of number 10. Positioning that delights the key stakeholder.’

    When you translate it straight from french it sounds weird. It’s like they talk in riddles and with strange little expressions. 🙂
