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.

Chuffed with the result like. I’d have taken a 1-0 and even a draw at an extreme push but to win 4-1 against a rival, and deserve to win 4-1 against a rival, is a welcome boost indeed.

also good to see Nolan overtake Judas as top scorer
4411(Quote)
Nolan 2nd top english striker – one behind Bent, not bad for a fat old midfielder, Hope he gets a couple more and ends up top 😆

Doctor Phil Batty is the Blackburn club doctor, Is that what Batty does? 😯
Jobey07(Quote)
£35m well spent 😆
This is surely Nolan’s best season judging by the amount of goals scored?
arcarius(Quote)
Arcarius – Indeed. His previous best goal return was 9 🙂

Big, big win. Have to eat my words because Shola was a class act throughout the game. Barton and Colo were quality. We should be safe now
By the way Perch when he came on was shocking, fair enough he cleared it off the line but apart from that he was awful – never want to see him play again for us.
AndrewNUFC(Quote)
Good evening Mr Batts
David He did play well as I think all the players did and hopefully now that will give them the belief and confidence to go out and do the same next week 😉
Big Dave(Quote)
Then it will be 2 wins out of 2 😆 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
TOONSY better get a move on and get that 500,just checked somewhere else,they might catch up there on 45 😀

duplicated me comment by accident 😐
Davidtoon4life(Quote)
I know its not nice to pick one player out for stick but in Perch’s case he is woefull I even started to panic when he came on and I was confident before the game, I wish the FA had off banned him for longer for appealing the decision 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
Big dave, I just sat there laughing at him he’s that bad.
AndrewNUFC(Quote)
Dave – Perch cleared the ball of the line. He done something productive. Must admit, I feared the worst when he got booked within three minutes like 😐
toonsy(Quote)
Anyhoo, I’m off out for a bit, Got some loose ends to tie up 😉
Back about 8:30 🙂
