It really is game on this time as Newcastle get that game in hand out of the way this evening by visiting Birmingham City.
The original match was due to be played back in December, but Mother Nature and Jack Frost combined to make some sweet snowy love all over the St Andrews pitch at a most inconvenient time which left the ground staff very little time to be able to clear up the mess.
I had a seat for that game, albeit I was supposed to be sitting in one of the posh executive boxes where I could lord it over everyone, but it wasn’t to be and as soon as the game was confirmed as being a midweek fixture it kind of ruled out my attendance. Toonsy can only come out to play on the weekend usually.
Anyway, enough faffing on, there is a match about to get underway!
It’s going to be a tough game for sure, but Newcastle are adept at pulling off a result and can beat anyone on their day. Birmingham will be an awkward team to play against and they are hard to beat, but so are Blackburn and we panned them for most of the game at the weekend.
The game is not scheduled for live TV broadcast in the UK, although Sky Sports will be showing extended highlights from 10:15pm on Sky Sports 1 if you fancy watching that. If, like me, you’ll be wanting to watch the game live then I could have some good news. MyP2P seem to have a pretty long list of available streams, although, and I always stress this, there is no guarantee that any of them will work.
If one does work then fine, brilliant, please feel free to share it with the rest of us by leaving a link in the comments section below.
If you haven’t already done so, or if you just fancy having another read, you can have a ponder over match preview where you can take in some match stats, form, injury news and possible team selection by clicking here.
That’s about it really. Hopefully Newcastle can pick up another point tonight to keep us ticking over nicely, although I wouldn’t mind all three if the truth be told. The most important thing though, in my mind, is making sure that we don’t lose.
Howay the lads!
P.S. There will be a slight delay in me being able to post the team news as I have to be somewhere and won’t be back until around 7:15pm, so please bear with us until then.
Team news is as follows….
Birmingham: Ben Foster, Stephen Carr, Roger Johnson, Liam Ridgewell, Martin Jiranek, Seb Larsson, Anthony Gardner, Barry Ferguson, David Bentley, Obafemi Martins, Nikola Zigic..

Big Dave(Quote)
Oh ok. There was actually something wrong wit one of my links lol but that’s sorted now as well 🙂
toonsy(Quote)
Trying this FoxSoccer.tv thing that MDS suggested a few days back. Free 7-day trial. $14.99/per month after that. It worked over the weekend, so I am hopeful today. Glad I get to see a midweek game.
A win is a must lads. That’s ok if Martins scores one tonight, because Best will get 2.
HWTL.

Toonsy you have to worry when Batts keeps a low profile it normally means he is up to no good 😀

And for the record, I do wish Obafemi the best. He’s always seemed a decent lad. Think family life took its toll on his footballin’ like. I wish him the best. Just not today like… f him today.

Zigic is seriously a huge threat. 😯
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
I do notice something.
Whenever we goes counter,why do the players suddenly pass backwards. 😕
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Martins is being booed…..
pearceet(Quote)
I’ll be surprised if we don’t concede. Birmingham are looking dangerous.
toonsy(Quote)
Brum are starting to play a bit 👿
Big Dave(Quote)
Back 4 still holdin’ up? How’s the midfield lookin?
OHurley(Quote)
OH – Fairly solid. Brum having the better of it so far IMO.
toonsy(Quote)
Pitch looks like in ****
Johno Toon(Quote)
Zigic is dangerous looking 🙁
Big Dave(Quote)
The **** is Jose deeing!!!
Get rid man!! 😡
Toon Chicken(Quote)
Thx Toonsy. Gotta get some more possession and stop their plan of attack. Would love to bag another goal and try to bog it down. Or just attack attack attack!
OHurley(Quote)
we seem to be very slow and slightly sloppy 🙁
Big Dave(Quote)
I see Martin very eager to score against NUFC. 🙄
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Aint heard Best’s name come up. He still doin’ his invisible man technique?? lol
OHurley(Quote)
TC Jose dosn’t seem to be his usual so far, and Joey seem slightly off
Big Dave(Quote)
No communication. 🙄
Both down. 😥
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
fuk that looked a bit of a sore challenge
Big Dave(Quote)
DAVE just ganning to say jose haveing a bad opening 20min,see a few hamstrings going on here,the pitch is *****
icedog(Quote)
OHurley I havn’t seen much of Best
Big Dave(Quote)
Close there simpson.
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Ice I hope your wrong mate but you might be right the pitch is like a farmers field
Big Dave(Quote)
Dunno what it is Dave? Maybe he’s a bit too confident??
Looks like he thinks he can play it out of every situation.
Toon Chicken(Quote)
He is coming into now best!
Johno Toon(Quote)
Nolan On Yellow. 😐
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
how much rain they had there like,or is this man-made 😉
icedog(Quote)
What’d Tugboat get booked for? Bad challenge or did he slip?
OHurley(Quote)
TC he is without a doubt a super talent but he can take chances sometimes, when they come off he looks good but when they dont he dosn’t
Big Dave(Quote)
Ohurley a silly trip 🙁
I would love to get another goal soon maybe knock the confidence outta Brum and settle us down 😉
Big Dave(Quote)
Leon should have left that for Lovenkrands
toonsy(Quote)
Dave-
I knew it was a slip. Can’t believe the ref booked him for slippin on that sh!te pitch. Lame. And yeah- would love another goal.
OHurley(Quote)
Anyone got any streams that don’t buffer every other second?
toonsy(Quote)
help–help working links anyone?
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
The football Birmingham play actually makes me feel sick. What an eyesore

Best is winning the majority of headers and he is starting to come into the game a bit more now
