An electric atmosphere tomorrow please.
After tomorrow the speculation will no doubt crank up a few notches as we collectively prepare for a long few weeks without any club football at all to focus upon. I hate close season! Mind you, there is a game to play before all that, and there is a space in the top ten to play for still so I’ll not get too far ahead of myself.
Both teams have entertained throughout the season, both teams have caused alarm to their fans throughout the season, both teams dispensed of their managers midway through the campaign and now both teams are mathematically safe and can enjoy the final day of the season without having to look over their shoulders. It’s fair to say that both sides have had a similar season and have achieved their respective goals.
However, the lure of a top-ten finish will hopefully be enough to inspire the home side to get a result. If that isn’t enough they can always use the memory of former boss Chris Hughton to inspire them after he was rather harshly sacked after the 3-1 defeat at The Hawthorns earlier on in the season. Go on lads, do it for Chrissy
If they are to win they’ll have to do it whilst contending with that ever so familiar injury list. Hatem Ben Arfa, Dan Gosling, Kevin Nolan, Steve Harper, James Perch, Danny Guthrie, Mike Williamson and Jonas Gutierrez are all out of the match while Cheik Tiote will also sit out to prevent him from picking up a yellow card and a three match ban for the start of next season. Shane Ferguson has recovered from a knock and Leon Best and Alan Smith are fit to feature although Bestie is unlikely to start.
I reckon we’ll see a team similar to the one that gained the impressive 2-2 draw with Chelsea last weekend, except for Jonas of course. That should leave us lining up a little like this:
Newcastle: Tim Krul, Jose Enrique, Fabricio Coloccini, Steven Taylor, Danny Simpson, Ryan Taylor, Joey Barton, Alan Smith, Shane Ferguson, Peter Lovenkrands, Shola Ameobi.
In fairness West Brom are also without a few key players. Peter Odemwingie and Gabriel Tamas are not included in Roy Hodgson’s squad for tomorrow. Both have been allowed to jet off on their summer holidays early as both are carrying slight knocks. Pablo Ibanez and Graham Dorrans are also ruled out through hamstring and ankle injuries respectively. Hodgson is also expected to call on the services of some of his youth players for the game tomorrow.
In their last match they beat Everton 1-0 in which they lined up with a team of:
West Brom: Scott Carson, Stephen Reid, Jonas Olsson, Gabriel Tamas, Nicky Shorey, Chris Brunt, Yousouff Mulumbu, Paul Scharner, Jerome Thomas, Simon Cox, Peter Odemwingie.
West Brom have not won at St James’ Park since September 1977 and that 3-1 victory over us back in December was their first league victory in 18 attempts.
The contrast in final day results is rather interesting. West Brom have never lost a game on the final day of a Premier League season (won 1, drawn 3) whilst Newcastle have won only one of the last eight games on the final day of a top-flight season.
West Brom’s 1-0 victory last weekend gave them their first clean sheet in 34 games, although going behind doesn’t faze them as they have claimed more points from losing positions than any other team this season.
I’m obviously hoping for a win, as we all are I presume. There is an awful lot of potential pride resting on tomorrow so I don’t want our boys to take the game lightly. A win will see us finish above Sunderland, will more than likely give us a top ten finish and will give everyone a good send off for the season finale. A lap of honour just doesn’t feel the same after a defeat.
I’m feeling optimistic about the match, which is dangerous. I think we have enough about us to win the game and should (hopefully) get the three points on offer to round the season off nicely. Don’t forget that every match is a 4pm kick-off tomorrow so adjust your watches and alarms accordingly.
Howay the lads! « Pardew admits to “difficulty” in keeping hold of Jose. | Nolan – “We’re on the road to something special!” »

Not expecting a classic to be honest, but will be dissapointed if we dont get a good atmosphere.
Would very much like to see some of the young kids get a go too.
I hope that we put on a good show tomorrow, and that the fans are appreciative of an immense effort from the team. Three turbulent years….relegation …cack, promotion at first attempt …magnificent, the chance of a top ten finish in our first year back…brilliant. Well done the lads..wish I could be there.
Stuart…this is an ideal opportunity to give a few of the bairns a try out. It can only do them good..
Well i’ve made it past 6 without dying, means i can go to the game tomorrow
Ooh, forgot to add, Woy is giving some of his kids a run out tomorrow. I’ll put that in now.
“West Brom’s 1-0 victory last weekend gave them their first clean sheet in 34 games, although going behind doesn’t faze them as they have claimed more points from losing positions than any other team this season.”
Crazy statistic!
Hoping for the 3 points tomorrow, would be a great way to round a great season off. Of course it would mean we finish above them lot.
I had a ticket as I thought I was down this weekend. Went down last weekend instead as missus is working at the minute so had to give my ticket away. Fooking gutted
Could be a party atmosphere tomorrow, and obviously the baggie fans are up for it…”Newcastle Brown Day”…cool !
http://www.nufc.com/
DJG will be there too with his sheeps outfit I would imagine ?
Think we will lose me, dont no why, I can feel it, I think its cos jobey is going
@9, Its me whos got the sheeps outfit
Anybody going for a jar before the game.
Would like to see something of Tavernier tomorrow
I’ve been to Arsenal 4-4, Birmingham 2-0, Wolves 1-1, Psv 2-2 this season, not seen us lose yet
yeah toby im over for the game. Where is good to go?
So what your saying is, we havnt won at home when you’ve been there?
I usually start in The Goose for cheap doubles
Johno
I normally go to Fluid which is just south of the ground about 300 yards from the gallowgate. Its a sensible place that gets busy.
Really depends what you’re after. The city centre bars cater for everybody
Toonsy-
As regards fukktard87, I just saw how heated he was in that thread and then he just stopped posting. Thought you might have banished him to the land of Harrison. lol, more than the punk deserves
Richie-
You still around? I need one of those SMB shirts!! Any ideas where to get it? It’s not on amazon.com, amazingly.
OH http://backpagenewcastle.com/User/ProductsDetail.asp?ProdId=6835
@toonsy
You say;
now both teams are mathematically safe and can enjoy the final day of the season without having to look over their shoulders.
I say;
We are still looking over our shoulders at the mackems. It would spoil any after season party to think they finish above us.
Therefore I think we should play our strongest team, minus Tiote, and secure a good lead before bringing the youngins on.
Too important to experiment.
@o Hurley
You keep referring to the SMB tee shirts. What does SMB stand for?
Bobby-
(See Richie’s avatar pic, and refer to Lee Clark’s famous shirt). It means “Sad Mackem Bastards”
anyone got tiger woods 2012 masters
HITMAN- aye i have.
And richie, are you going tomorrow?
Bobby – I meant with regard to Premier League safety
Hitman – Not yet. It’s on my wanted list with that La Noire though
agree wit bobby think we should go for the kill 2m , was good to see against chelsea tat the players hadnt switched off wit end of season. Think be a tight game but we will win 2-1
jobey..how the fk do you get on the tour m8
toonsy la noire is the bollocks m8..fkin stunning
jobey…not if your going ya feckin jinx
agree with bobby, horrible feeling the mackems will win tomorrow, therefore if we don’t win it will leave a bitter taste I’m afraid
*you’re*
Something worth reading from The Mirror

@O’Hurley
Hmmm. Hook, line, O’Hurley.
Or is it oh Hurley?
Richie-
Thx mate! Cost me 20 bob like, but the shirt’s in the mail! Woohoo
Why is it that some people will take a player wanting to leave and it’s still ashleys and lambarses fault!? Pathetic. Love the target Europe noises from Ashley
Bobby-
Bollox mate!! LMAO!! STFU
And it’s O’Hurley. My auld Irish family name
@raffo
Cos the players don’t see us as ambitious.
They run the club.
Not a hard concept really is it?
OH….20 bob’s just £1 in real money mate
A cracking article toonsy, I remember going mental about it when the game was on
@O Hurley
I am being serious now, what does LMAO & STFU mean?
Raffo and Bobby-
I hope this summer makes the difference. I would love to see Ashely finally open up his pocket book and put his dosh where his gob is. I was readin’ a story the other day about Gervinho going to Spurs or Chelsea or summit. Let’s all hope Fat Ash gets down to business next week.
Moreno – I was the same. It’s a good point though. I wonder if that had been Barton what would have happened? Hmm…..
I remember Barton getting booked for trying to keep a ball in play in one game FFS
bobby-
I thought bob meant 1 pound. Old fashioned, but I think it’s funny.
LMAO= laughing my ass off
STFU= shut the fukk up
@O Hurley
Have you not learnt anything over the past 4/5 yrs since Ashley took over.
It’s a business run like Sports Direct.
Cheap and chatty.
No purse strings opening this or any other season.
@O’H
OH…bob was a shilling, which is 5p these days
Rich is lucky becaase he remembers old money. He has more age experience than most
Bobby-
Yeah, it’s true, but I’m always optimistic lol. Something that’s hard to do when you support newcastle lol, but it’ll get better. I have faith. *fingers crossed*
Richie- thanks for the clarification. Then, the shirt cost me 20 quid. That better?
Hurley, it’s a score
Toonsy we all said at the time if it was Barton that made the tackle he would be banished for hurting one of the England goodie goodies. As he said not a word or a highlight of it, its a fuking joke
Toonsy… I only know cos last time you put your hand in your pocket to get me a pint, you pulled out a half crown so I thought I’d gen up on the old coinage
OH…..or 400 bob
Rich
OH – “The shirt cost me a score” if you’re wanting to slang it up.
Or if Cockney, “Me uncle Bert cost an apple core”
I think Guthrie will start instead of Smith tomorrow with Guthrie not being out for that long and Pardew saying he doesn’t really want to risk Smith.
OH or you can just say you were fleeced my little pope heed friend
Rich I hear OH is busting to get the new away top its secretly his fav colour
Dave
he plays a mean version of The Sash too I hear 
Rich I heard that too its not his fault he was born a left footer
Cristiano Ronaldo breaks the record of the most goals scored in a single season in the league (39 goals)
He has also beaten the all-time Real Madrid record and was the first player to score 9 league goals in 3 games.
He has pissed all over that league.
Aye Dave, nae banjo’s in OHurleys, it’s duelling flutes
Dave-
Who asked you for your opinion, ya protestant fook?
Btw, I didn’t get fleeced, ya bastard, unless you count 6 pounds for international shippin a fleecin’ 
How’s u, btw?
Moreno- thanks for the edumacation hehe
Rich- dare I even ask about The Sash?
If by Sash, you mean all that your mum was wearin’ when she answered the door last night to let me in, then yeah 
Btw Dave-
I gave up my allegiance to the pope upon hearing of my excommunication for my association with the Masonic fraternity…
OH http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sash
OH it was my Dadm and he said you preferred the back door
*Dad
OH £6 quid for P+P I ordered the wee Lad a trackie of the club and they fleeced me £12 for P+P the robbing c@nts
Rich/Dave-
Nope, don’t know that song. But I do know a great one called “Follow Me Up to Carlow”
Dave-
Now that IS gettin’ fleeced like! What thievin’ bastards!
OH @ 62 well mate there is no probs being an Orange Mason
Hi everybody.
My DJG name and ip has been banned for this site so thats why I havn’t been on. So i’m afraid toonsy you ARE a liar.
I didn’t want you guys to think I had gone out of choice. Cheers to people like Big Dave and batty and everybody else; too many to mention.
be interested to see how long before this post is deleted.
Hi
Hi what does the DJG stand for then as you could be anyone
Big Dave
That’s what you get for being pissed last week I guess
Still, it’s undone now
well it looks like big sam is in for west spam job poor sods
and going back to toonsy last thread sturridge would opt for toon and not spuds,according to the METRO rag
DJG hows it going Lad
Ice nice to see you on mate and I am not sure BSA will get the job if hooters goes for it
Dave-
That’d be a good solution, if only I still considered mesel a christian like. Read too much philosophy for that
Big D
Not Bad mate apart from being banned.
Goin to match tomorow tho that will cheer me up.
Just to fill everyone in, I apologised to DJG for my part in last week. It takes a bigger man to apologise and all that.
I’m still waiting for mine
Aye ice I read that,
although I have found that The Metro is just behind the Daily Mail for printing utter tripe.
The Daily Mail is still the worst though as it’s vindictive utter tripe
DJG-
I was wonderin’ what happened to you, mate! Good to see ya back!
Im sorry toonsy,
I won’t be winding up up for quite a while.
DJG
Posted May 21, 2011 at 8:19 PM
“Not Bad mate apart from being banned.”
Didn’t take you long to scurry off back to the site you slagged off so vociferously though did it you hypocritical wanker
Cringewothy
DJG I believe it was a genuine mistake mate and as Wor Toonsy said he was sorry I think you should do the same and then we can get on with being the nice nighty night club, and bury the axe. as Toonsy says it take’s a real man to apologies
DJG – Don’t worry about it. I went too far aswell. I usually can hav eth crack, like tonight, but last week I was going through some shit and you pressed the wrong buttons at the wrong time. Tis all.
No hard feelings and let the wind ups continue
DJG proud of ye
I go on several sites toonsy.
@toonsy
To be fair to DJG, would you explain why he was barred?
It’s just cos I have been barred 3 times and still posting and I don’t want him to get my record.
Seriously, an explanation would be fair to both parties, as I’m sure you would like to defend the liar accusations made against you.
See what happens when Ice returns everyone is getting on again
Explained.
MORENO,all rags are a load of crap,and not only on the subject of footy.but we will get a lot of it during the close season,might even get a storey saying ashley is going to spend some cash
Bobby – Basically DJG pushed my buttons so I pushed his ban one. Being pissed last week I must have forgotten about it until DJG popped and said that which is when I checked and said that he had. Nothing more nothing less
Anyway, balance restored now.
BSN
I bet my comments have been held more than yours
toonsy please atone yourself and back me up on this.
Bobby 3 times
you have been a bad bad boy
DAVE
djg this toonsy blog,dont get it mixed up with a certain other site m8
BSN
I only called him a liar because of all the ‘I can asure you DJG isn’t banned’ comments. But if it was a genuine mistake I take it back.
DJG – Is that what was happening (your comment is being held etc…)? If it does that it usually flags up? Unless it was just getting eaten by the spam filter
Dave – Bobby pushed the wrong buttons at the wrong time
At least we;re all back in the room now though
can’ believe I never checked 
Avoid Stella Cider!!!
Bobby are you still banned on organ donors
Ice and a few that the Fatman is selling the club etc etc etc
DJG – Banned, why?
Toonsy, you dont half go through ‘ some shit’, do do you work in stables?
well done toonsy on banning DJG,i just hope you wont hit the snooze button on me,but you can hit it any time on stardust like
toonsy
- Nah it wasn’t like when it was held. It was just like press submit and then instantly nothing. Like the site was blocking them outright and straight away. Like the server was saying ‘Click, f### off’
Stuart79
Posted May 21, 2011 at 8:31 PM
“Toonsy, you dont half go through ‘ some shit’, do do you work in stables?”
It’s because sometimes I’d rather keep certain stuff private, hence the “some shit” stuff
DJG – Ahh got it. It was going into the spam bin. I used to check it all the time but gave up and just delete the lot now becuase there is so many (about 10 an hour
) so if your comment wasn’t one of the first few I wouldn’t have seen it.
*About 100 an hour, not 10
is toonsy becoming worky..debate
I’ll be on later. See ya’s.
Well I do feel like a bell end after this debacle so I’m getting there
That was a joke before anyone pipes up
fkin love it the best toon blog on the net
I have seen Toonsy apologise so he cant be a worky, and I cant remember Toonsy ever calling someone a racist or just being a complete arrogant knob either
DJG be good Lad dont be getting in to any fights
alryt lads whos watching degale and groves fight 2nyt?? wot tym does it kick off? im gna watch it on the net
Oh how I would love to have a button to ban toonsy.
I would just do it for a few hours every day to get my own back.
I love Stu’s comment about Toonsy gans thro some shit.
It’s true! I bet Toonsy has been married more times than liz Taylor!
I just think he loves the power. I reckon he’ll drive past the bus stop thats chiokka block on purpose when he’s gannin thru some shit.
Army – Not me. Not paying 15 quid for it and my laptop cuts out when I watch stuff on the net. I hope Groves wins though as Degale is a reet cocky fecker for someone who has actually achieved nothing.
@big Dave
Aye but Worky had a point.
Carry on Bobby. Make it 4. I really don’t mind
HITMAN@107 100% agree mate.
never ever known anybody who works in anything not make a mistake,if they havent there lazy gits who do nowt imo
aye dave..toonsy isnt like that,if you call someone a racist you better back that up,what that slug says about you is a fkin disgrace m8..
Toonsy…..worky says can ya ban DJG as the comments on his have gone down 40% now
Rich – Low blow
i bet toonsy wishs he had a f/book button on this site ie “hide this post”
richie – Brilliant
worky is stardust best pal
Nah in fairness I’ve been radge for a few weeks now, which has incidentally coincided with my new job and all the tests I’ve done. Been putting myself under pressure about it. I hate failure, and even though I’d have got a second chance at any of the tests I didn’t want yo use it so I’ve put myself under the pressure to get through everyone first time…. If I’d have failed them I could potentially be out of work, with a mortgage to pay
Not good
Hence a radgie Toonsy.
Still, all done now so I can chill knowing all tests and training are done and I can just chill out a bit.
@hitman
Worky misspelled racist he meant fascist which everyone agrees that’s what big dave is.
Toonsy, tell the lads you’ve been sending a few crawling emails to me, telling me you made a mistake. Tell the troooooooth.
Hitman I always said that I never said owt to Worky on the Blog that I wouldn’t say to his face, but I would be certain that he wouldn’t have said have the shit he did to my face.
I have very little time for keyboard hardmen like him
Bobby @ 113 yeah but apparently it was stuck in some ladyboy
and to think this racist has been protesting all season for Ranger to get a start 
Ice @ 119 – feckin too right
Notice nothing has been deleted though?
TOONSY chill out on a blog, not easy if you gan on wrong blog
toonsy your right , james degale is really doing my head in, hope he gets knocked out!!! me mate might hav me a ticket for the west brom match 2ora , i find out dinner time!!! really hope i can go!!!!!
Toonsy- glad you’re done with all your tests, mate. I always have shitloads of them to do at my job too. They fookin suck.
dave the shocking thing about it is he didnt apologise m8.thats un fkin forgivable
Bobby – you sure you want to talk about crawling e mails? I still have the ones you sent me you know. They are awfully embarrasing for someone as “cut and thrust” as yourself
what tests toonsy
OHURLEY aye mate hard to pass those drug and drink tests
Toonsy….ya were a radgie fecker before ya changed jobs, always picking on bobby
Who was it Toonsy was abusing over the Hoots going as No2 to Chelski
Hitman @ 129 well it proved to me that I was right in what I had allready thought of him
just downloaded dirt 3,fkin shite
Hitman – To become a coach driver. I’ve never been so tested in my life man
Off the top of my head I’ve had to pass nine before I even do my first route
Dave @ 134 – Bobby probably
aye toonsy me m8 is a bus driver,you have to go through loads m8,HSE m8
Toonsy is that who it was that had the source
toonsy
Bobby care to tell us what happened
or have you binned that source
Hitman – Aye it’s mad. And now I have to wear a shirt and tie everyday
Batty – The worst thing is I’m back on the Stella Cider again tonight

Evening lads.
Looking forward to going to the last game of the season tomorrow.
Hopefully our fans hang around longer than the Sunderland fans did for their lap of ‘honor’

@toonsy
Class. Ive got no regrets about my emails.
I’ve said all along i don’t get the nicey nice banter. Still don’t.
Gutted? Gutted for being barred for nothing, yes.
Gutted cos I can’t post. No.
I enjoy posting and like the craic, but put things into perspective.
If I got barred again, I would email you asking why.
Anyway, you’ve been fair by accepting my grovelling emails and likewise I appreciate the limited access to your Facebook account. I would hate to have full access as it’s clear you’ve got skeletons in the cupboard you don’t want me to discover.
Batty,
Yeah mate! I’ve got like 50 plants… I mean… uhh… I have no idea what you’re taalkin aboot mate…
Dog-
Yeah mate, the ‘shine is in the mail already
I reckon you could probably get Dave-O to procure some pocheen for ya. Same thing like (only our’s is better ower here like)
That is just evil, Metro.co.uk carry the headline..
‘Daniel Sturridge ‘to opt for Newcastle transfer despite Spurs interest’
When you click on the link there is nothing. Im not sticking my neck out about any transfers. Personally I was amazed when we signed Ben Arfa, I didn’t think in a million years we would get him.
Is Osaze still oot for tomorrow’s game?
DJG-
I hope that’s true. Sturridge fits the club’s profile pretty well. I think he’d be good for 20 goals a season. Fingers crossed!
DJG gan to http://www.metro.co.uk,you can get it through that way
DJG, I know I was pissed off when it wouldn’t work.
I want to see what it has to say, however reliable it may be
ohurley just a little crop then
Batty-
Yeah mate, that’s just my personal stash. Lasts me about a week
Bobby you there
bobby we need you on here too put every 1 right m8
Davo! How’s u mate? You look up that song I told ya aboot?
I wouldn’t care if he was just on a season long loan.
Imagine starting next season no.10 HBA, no.9 Daniel Sturridge.
ohurley 6 kilo last you a week
DJG,
Barton Nolan Tiote N’zogbia
Ben Arfa
Sturridge
DJG – you know a loan might not be a bad shout you know….
Bobby – I’ll re-add you. To be fair I had some good minutes looking at those pics of your mrs
ime off laters
I think personally that Ashley will spend more money on Pardew than on Hughton. Thats something the anti-Pardew brigade like to keep hush-hush but I think it’s fairly obvious.
I like Sturridge. He’s not a big target or a small pacy or anything really.. He’s just a goal scoring machine. Bit like Andy Cole or somebody.

Good little read for people who’s interested.
Ice take it easy im off mesel mate need some food
Am I part of the nighty-night club again then.
Nightey nightey folks
TGS
Ice…..she has a few more tests to do yet mate.
Dave…all you ever do is eat
DJG…ya can get ya avatar back now mate, ya not undercover anymore
Richie
Why do you think he’s called ‘Big’ Dave.
DJG
….reet, when ya hav to close 1 eye to read what ya typing, its time to go.later lads….and nighty night bobby 
Tomorrow will be tough, I thought Jonas was our stand out performer last time against Chelsea, he provided an effective link between our midfield and Shola and was at the heart of most of our forays into their half. Brilliant that Odemwingie and Dorrans are out, that gives us a half decent chance. West Brom have been solid lately so I think it will be a hard game, really want a win but not massively confident.
Newkie, I feel the same way u do about Jonas being out. Real shame.
But since pardew came out today that he was gonna play a straight 4-4-2, and with Guthrie being a possibility to play, along with Best, Smith, and Lualua, we’ll actually have some decent players to choose from if the game isn’t going our way. Even if we go down a goal, I think we’ll have enough quality and drive to win this game
i think i saw somewhere that pardew didnt want to play smith and he was only on standby because of injury. Hope he doesnt risk either smith, best or guthrie and maybe just give some young guns the chance.
All three of Birmingham, Wigan and Blackpool can win and still go go down or lose and still stay up
Thats why its the best season ending finale EVER.
Its even better mind because we aren’t involved
All this talk of getting Sturridge is fine, but I dont think we have a hope in hell. I think he will be Chelski’s striker next season alongside Torres.
My nightmare end to the season is us drawing and the dorty filthy scum winning
…………….so a nice entertaining 3-2 win today will do nicely 
Rich – Even so it’s still a moral victory for us. In a season where they were supposed to be pushing for Yurope there biggest achievement will end up being finishing above a team who have just come into the league, spent about £20, changed managers half way through the season……
Anyway, new thread up
Aye Toonsy I know b ut being physically above them woulld be so much better……even though this season has exceeded expectations and no matter how much I’d tell myself that, I know I’ll be gutted if them feckers get above us on the last day of the season.
