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!

  14. Elokobi’s neck has the circumference of Tiote’s head.

    He is built like a tank. I remember Andy Gray spending 5 minutes of his commentary talking about how solid Elokobi is.

    I think he took him home to meet his wife that day.

  42. We may have won, but what another awful refereeing display at SJP.

    The inconsistancy of PL refs at the moment is diabolical

  69. And well played Lovenkrands, Shola and Guthrie. I had little faith in the 3 of you and felt you all put in a shift, more so Guthrie, in this game he played well and i didn’t feel we missed Tiote. not saying i don’t want him back though 😛
