Highlights of the 2-1 victory over Wolves this afternoon for you now, followed by the post match interviews from the respective managers.
First I suppose we’d better start with what most of the talking points are going to be about, and that means that the match, as ever, will have to be dealt with first.
Not only do these highlights feature the goals from Demba Ba and Jonas Gutierrez for Newcastle and Steven Fletcher for Wolves, they also feature the two rather contentious decisions that just happened to fall in the favour of Newcastle on the day.
What a goal by Jonas eh?
Moving onto what the managers have to say, and I guess the best place to start is with Alan Pardew. The rather jovial and smiley Alan Pardew has led us to 3rd place in the league – our highest position in 8 years – although he was honest enough to admit that on the day we had the luck with the decisions.
Meanwhile Mick McCarthy has still never managed to beat Newcastle in a Premier League match. That fact aside, the former Sunderland gaffer perhaps has a genuine reason to feel hard done by after the decisions that went against his side today. However he also admitted that the result was partly brought about by his own sides poor defending and profligacy in front of goal.
In an attempt to ‘go the extra mile’ I’ve now started to find full match coverage for you all to download and view at your leisure. Please use the following links to download all 90 minutes of the Wolves game this afternoon.
The good news is that these highlights are saved in MP4 format so you can watch the on your iPod/Pad/Phone or whatever. Once again you the ‘slow download’ link towards the bottom of the age on the right hand side and please scan each file with a virus program in case there is anything naughty hidden in there as I can’t be held responsible for third party applications.
Howay the lads!

Jonas’s goal was a peach
I also admire Pards honesty I think its refreshing to hear managers admit that they were lucky, as it doesn’t happen that much these days.
It’s getting to be a funny feeling, waiting for the other shoe to drop. I think most of us probably feel we’re in a false position, but it’s pretty giddy and fun to be enjoying the altitude sickness up in 3rd while it lasts. Nice for the luck to be breaking our way for a bit…
well i go back too what stu sed ,the game should of been put to bed ,also it makes up a little for all the decisions we dont get
We need 4 points from the next two games, a win against Wigan and hopefully a draw at best against Tottenham. 6 points is the dream but I would take 4 points now. Hell, even 3.
We have that horror spell coming up in November and as many points as possible before those is vital.
Batty, that’s what I was hinting at on a previous thread. I reckon we were well worth our win, having not seen the game though, and irrespective of the two poor decisions which went in our favour. All in all a great result, I just love it when we put those 20 year old jinxes to bed…
Aye, batty, I’m not often wrong like.
You make your own luck…hard work & trying to do the right things. Defenders are allowed to block shots, keepers are there to make saves & we’re responsible for the others team or referees performances
A divvent care how early doors it is, it’s great to see us sitting third. Wor lass is getting a bit fed up seeing the German text on wor tele showing the toon third top…
…
*We’re not responsible
MM – Stop being a troll
MM i’m not looking forward to Raylor coming up against Bale
Dave, that’s why I think we should put Santon in. Bale will have the measure of him
Keep your eyes on where the ball is at the time of the challenge for the penalty shout. firstly, the player is running away from the goal and seccondly he did not have control of the ball. No penalty. We won 2-1 no probs for me whinging micky mackem as per.
Porcie – Must admit my stream went off at the time but the commentators and people on here seemed to suggest it was a stonewaller. Looking at the highlights I’m not sure it was but I’ve seen them given, and they did get a free kick for it
Dave – It will be Simpson v Bale won’t it?
Bale will annihilate anyone on his day like. He single handedly destroyed Inter Milan. Have to hope it isn’t his day.
well DAVE you forcast the right result if not the right score
still say simpson is the weak link,we know R.Taylor is not a l/b,but simpson will not cut it in PL imo
Toonsy: Bale switches sides in the game so he could end up being on the left or right flank
Toonsy
Defo pen, was a good yard or so inside the box where the foul took place, but he fell outside. If it was us I’d be upset that we didn’t get it, same with their 2nd. But on the other hand, we never normally get things our way and we didn’t play badly really. Yes, got a get out of jail free card, but who cares, 3 points and still no loss yet. First win there since 54 0r 58, well before my time whatever, and even though my holiday is over and just got back in time to watch the match online, got a big beaming smile, no complaints at all. Worst case is 4th place by the next game weekend. Wish we didn’t have next weekend off, just want it to continue now, but going to bask in it and enjoy it
Toonsy@10…..you been to the dark side ?!
nighty night….
@13 I didn’t think it was a foul either.
Guys I think which side he plays is fairly irrelevant as I fancy Lennon to rip raylor apart with his pace anyway if he plays
Points to Simmons for this tweet though:
No thanks but made me laugh ha RT @2NarMe: @dannysimpson12 Danny, I live in Wallsend & I know you have a missus but if you want; you & all the squad can go through my wife. Happy Man.
Bus just getting back to st James first away win for the laddie
Toonsy yeah Bale would be against Simmo but I just thought I would say it to MM
@23.
@23,
A brave man, there’d be none of her left after Mr. T had finished!
Totally off any topic, but can anyone explain why nufc.com always puts mackem and sunderland in small case like that.
It’s irritating and petty to the degree it makes the site look like a joke. Just ranting and it’s why this site is best.

what an absolute moron. watch the match and have a look at the match statistics after you plank.
Ben,
Look on the bright side, you could be a Birmingham fan!

Porcie – Must admit my stream went off at the time
Hahahaha! Toonsy is the Sir Alex Ferguson of nufcblogs everywhere
Trevor Francis thinks Tiote and Cabaye are as good a centre midfield pairing as any in the league!
Moreno,
Birmingham are 3 matches behind the rest of the league. If they win those games, they are 5th or 6th.
FJ,
Irrespective of any league standings, Wolves fans are a class above Brum fans. Not a fan of Brum in general, couldn’t give a shite how they do in the league so it really wasn’t aimed at that. Know a few Wolves lads and they are all top supporters.
How’d the rugby go today anyway mate? I missed it
What’s happening lads that was a fantastic win I don’t care what you say barca win lucky sometimes so why can’t we???
I’m watching Norwich carve open Man Utd repeatedly. I’m assuming they are shit because they didn’t deserve their win also?
We had luck on our side and at times last year when we played poorly we didn’t win, there’s been a big difference when we haven’t played well this year we have ground out the results which is key to us gaining points this year

“Birmingham are 3 matches behind the rest of the league. If they win those games, they are 5th or 6th.”
Games in hand vs points on board
I have a mate who has a box at Birmingham and I sometimes go along to it but I’ve refrained since Hughton went there as the view will be restricted by the sun shining out of his arse.Turning down free football and beer
Moreno – You see that @nufcfans on Twitter moaning about showing highlights. It’s not allowed…… Go bollocks…
Which player got the most points today in fantasy football? Oh Gabby Agbonglahor. Who happened to have to foresight to captain him? Oh Me
Toonsy, you might have moved off the foot of the table as your team is full of mackems and they scored a couple today.
Also, had Joey’s horse on at 20/1 today and put Demba on to score first at 6/1.
Only bet i lost was Cabaye to score anytime but I’ll forgive him
I hadn’t noticed that mate! Thanks for pointing it out though, evening’s entertainment for Moreno
Not looking forward to MoTD’s analysis (or lack of) of the game today. All the focus will be on the two controversial decisions, taking the spotlight away from another good performance and deserved result.
Alan Shearer needs to grow a pair and needs to stand up for the club he’s meant to love…
Man, he may have an odd shaped head but my how Obertoon can dribble the ball!!
Wonder what The MOTD analysis will reveal?
Apparently not a lot
Wow… well still no analysis of such but are the BBC finally accepting NUFC as a big, threatening club in the Premier League?!
Should have been a pen, but I probably would have called that ball over the line at 88mins…
Ref Martin Atkinson is obviously a Liverpool fan…
toonsy, they can’t get the points until they play the games. Better to have the games in hand than play them and not get the points, no?
They are juggling Europe and The Championship well for a team of 14 players with a combined age of about 30. Steve Harper is older than the Birmingham team combined.
Also, Tim Krul is trending on twitter, he seems to winning a lot of fans.
And Suarez is a cheating bastard!
Smart. Match of the Day highlighting the Everton fans throwing stuff and not the root cause of the problem, which is Suarez and his dirty dives
Another few points off him in the fantasy league
Toonsy, what’s the craic with your team man!
Moreno – I has two Sunderland players in there. Not any longer though
FJ – Sorry mate, but the sheer arse licking Hughton got which brought about a lot of Pardew bashing, and still does in some quarters, means that I want him to fail.
Nah toonsy hughton is a good lad he stabilised us got us back in prem and treated like rubbish he deserves to do good job
Liam – In a way yes, but it’s pretty sad when people can’t move on and cling onto everything he does as though they are love struck teenagers. He’s been gone nearly a year, get over it, springs to mind
Isn’t it Rodzilla o’clock? Where is he? Did he get locked up this weekend?
People come, People go.
Some are Legends, some are well respected and a lot are vilified.
He did a good job for us but served his purpose. I think fondly of him but it was the right decision in hindsight. By a million miles.
I am an admitted Hughton fanboy I guess, but like you say, some people got all Maitreya with him.
I do believe I was his most vocal critic in terms of substitutions, for example. Or lack of, it should be.
Anyway, bed time for me. Time to hang upside down in a dark corner for a few hours and recharge
Moreno – That is just about spot on. Thanks for the memories but he is nowt to do with us anymore.
FSOTC, that what i was saying last night? AA
or just too drunk to make it home to the computer? 
UTD for newcastle trying to united the club and the board as one. All they seem to do is argue. Just been sectarian abused by them. When people like this are trying to build bridges between us and the club it will never ever work.
Maybe he hasn’t been bailed yet.
Well, I’m out of here to watch my pitiful New York Red Bulls. So long, folks.
Andy, we have written a few articles about them. Myself in particular.
They don’t like being criticized.

That lot can feck off. They’re no doubt a little down since things have been going so smoothly at the club. Pardew and the lads are bringing everyone together just fine thank you
They are a disgrace mate. And the fact they are trying to represent us the fans is terrible
Woah, watching MotD now. Blackburn didn’t even turn up. I have Steve Bruce on to be sacked first but that Kean is gonna bust that un
Andy – Hmm. Sounds about right for them. we’ve had a few run ins with them before and have ripped them to bits in subsequent articles. I might do another one tomorrow as I caught them abusing other NUFC fans the other night. I don’t know who Kevin thinks he is, but its clear he is in no position to represent the fans when he spends so much time abusing them

———————————–
Of all the things that bug me about them, what grates me by far the most is that they think they can speak for me as supporter.
Cheers toonsy. I just thought i should try let all the other supporter group and forums know what these guys are like. Not a lot are wanting to get involved but fair play to you guys for actually questioning them and what they are apparently trying to do
Fook me. Balotelli is City’s new third choice striker?
Carlos who? Isn’t he some sleepy mexican?
flodge
The 2 decisions went in our favour but how many times have you watched a team like Man U and they get decisions like that. Not saying we are Man U but we are in the top 4 and playing well. We still seem to incur 5 minutes of stoppage time out of nowhere though.
not sure about putting Santon in for his debut…. at RB??? against Bale????? Seem to recall that the main criticism against him in Italy was his difficulty in defending against ‘direct’ wide players. Don’t want to crush his confidence in his first game
As for coping with Bale in 2 weeks time??? Think it’ll be a tactical rather than personnel question – Over to u Mr Pardew…..
Don’t know why people are terrified of spurs for, they have some good attacking players but that is about it IMO.
First time I saw the ‘penalty’ I thought it wasn’t a foul…. gotta say on 2nd viewing we were lucky to get away with it
You never know, balemay pick up an injury on international duty or something
Not a bad one. Just enough to keep him out for our game
Spurs are doing deceptively well though, having only played six games, among which both Manchesters, and won all four of their other matches. Most teams can expect to lost those two matches, although if we could take a point off Man U at the end of last season, I don’t see why we can’t again this season…. and if we play well, get the tactics right and er, possibly have luck on our side again, there’s no reason we can’t take at least one off Spurs as well… though it is worrying they have Bale and Lennon and our weak spot is our FBs…… argh, two weeks to find out.
Jonas been getting some tips from Benny maybe
Errrrrmmm, I meant they had played five and won their other three. Getting ahead of myself there!!! Should be a good watch later in the pub, haha….
Also *lose
(pours another coffee)
I prefer Spurs over both Liverpool and Arse, just not against us
Susan
We will be leaving Nottingham at 9am, should see you at Beadnel at 1pm.
Oh sorry wrong Susan
I love that Pardew gave his honest opinion on the decisions……. makes a refreshing change from Kenny ‘didn’t see it and don’t intend to watch it’ Dalgish, and whingeing Wenger who will no doubt be saying something similar later today!
Really like Pards
Er.. have fun in Beadnel with the other Susan, Toonale
I’m off to yoga
Yoga
Is that what fit people do, tie themselves into knots, just like our Back Four did at times yesterday.
It doesn’t get much better than this!
ben@29…
sore loser you spasmoid… 
Anyone else worried about Danny Simpson? is it him or lack of cover from Obertan, either way we are wide open on the right hand side and any goals we concede come from there, his biggest fault for me is that he turns his back on the ball, it is criminal for a defender to do that at any level. The sooner Santon is in the side the better, we are 2 full backs away from a very good team.
Robert – I think it’s a bit of both in truth. Obertan doesn’t really help much, but then Simpson can be the architect of his own downfall at times.
I think that if you put Marveaux on the left and Jonas on the right we have the benefit of Jonas and his hard work helping Simpson out. Problem is that Obertan is such an outlet with his pace that it’s hard to drop him.
My apologies to Simmo…it was Taylor who made the rash first half tackle in the box. Crazy, who not just jockey the bloke out ?
Simmo does tend to back off too much. I reckon the Spurs game will be a big test of Pardews tactical prowess, and how he deals with Lennon and Bale on the wings.
There again, Spuds need to take care of us, and we’re at home too..
Troy…great isn’t it !
Ben@29……watched he match and I don’t know about your stats but the ones I have seen, and I’ve checked on several sites all say Wolves 1 Newcastle 2 so whichever way you look at it we get 3 points and you get…..er none
*the match*
SUSAN @ 80 – totally agree with u, Pardew’s interview style is very refreshing – he just says what he thinks and will give the opponent credit if they deserve it
Wolves looh like relegation material to me
