Manchester United may have the better players, the trophies, the adulation of the media. They may even be referred to as ‘United’ by many in a way that almost disregards the fact that other teams who are legitimately carrying the ‘United’ after their name actually exist. But they will never be a true United – that honour belongs to Newcastle!
Not that it will have any bearing on the result this evening of course, but it makes me feel better knowing that they will never be a real United, no matter how much the media try and and portray them as being the only United that counts.
Rant over! Now I can turn my attention to the match….
It’s highly unlikely that Newcastle will take any points this evening, but you have to live in hope I guess. Our recent history with Manchester United would suggest that any hope may be futile but you just have to roll with it and see what the team in black and white can put together. Shocks do happen!
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports and is available on many channels the world over so we should all be able to see it somewhere, whether that be a pub or the comfort of our own homes. If you can’t watch it on TV then I’m sure there will be plenty on internet streams knocking about. Nothing will beat actually being there though, so to those who are going make you sure sing your hearts out for the lads and have a goodun!
The match preview is here if you haven’t already done so. It features some early team news, injury news and some facts and stats ahead of the big game tonight.
As I said, I’m not getting my hopes up. I expect a lot of hard work and endeavour from our lads, but I also expect that all that effort will amount to nothing against a team that is gunning for the title.
Howay the lads!

Straight into Van der Sar’s arms. That wasn’t the sort of quality I’d expect from someone who labels himself England’s best midfielder!

Well done the Toon…just goes to show what can be achieved with a bit of luck and a decent striker…
Well done Tim Krul, brilliant save after 5 minutes which kep us in the game….

Boro getting spanked by Burnley. 3-0 at HT. **** town from Yorkshire!
toonsy(Quote)
Ey shut it about Yorkshire 😉
Its in Lancashire anyway 😆
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Hate to **** on peoples chips, but I remember a game a few years back against Man Utd where we were 0-0 at HT and ended up losing 6-0 😳 😡 😐 😥
toonsy(Quote)
Oh right were you saying boro was a **** town from yorkshire? 😆
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
If we had a decent striker we’d be 3 up by now.
Never like it when we boss a game against the top sides and don’t score, you always know what’s round the corner – a goal for them!
Great performance so far though, cannot fault the effort.

Spencer 🙄
I was on about Boro 😛
**** me I know where Burnley is FFS! I know where Sheffield is aswell. It used to be one of my deliveries moons ago.
Two drops by Hillsborough, one on Bramall Lane 😉

Toonsy @122…thank goodness for that…
Toonsy, were you posting about Pitroipa earlier ? Canny winger playing for Hamburg at the moment, fast as flock, with lots of skill, would have him no problem, wouldn’t be surprised if he was out of contract in the summer, and with Hamburg falling to pieces he would be a great signing for us…Hamit Altintop also looks like his days at FC Bayern are over, out of contract in the summer, and also out of favour with the club, cannot see him coming to the toon though
Munich Mag(Quote)
I live a couple miles northe of hillsborough, its a right **** hole sheffield 😆
But I would say im more on outskirts and my village is alright.
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Munich – Think that Pitropia is contracted to 2012 but he is unhappy and Hamburg are having troubles aren’t they?
toonsy(Quote)
Howay the lads
