Hopefully our lads can put a bit more effort into this game after the Anfield debacle last weekend. Now don’t get me wrong, I never expected to win that game, but I did expect our team to put up a bit more fight rather than looking they were on their summer jollies already. A win today will go some way to erasing that performance from my mind!
That’s the selfish view though. The more important thing that can be achieved today is Premier League safety. What would need to happen is for us to beat Birmingham and for Wigan to fail to beat Aston Villa at Villa Park. Alternatively a draw would do us if Wigan lose. I’ve personally thought that we’ve been safe for the last few weeks, but for those who are still concerned about it that is what needs to happen.
The match, much like any Saturday 3pm kick-off, is not scheduled for live TV coverage here in the UK, but it is bring broadcast in quite a few places overseas. With that in mind I would hope that there are a couple of decent streams available so once again, if you stumble across one then please feel free to share it with the rest of us.
I really can’t see this game being a goal fest as neither team seem to be able to score at the moment. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 0-0 in all honesty.
Team news is as follows…
Newcastle: Tim Krul, Danny Simspon, Steven Taylor, Fabricio Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Joey Barton, Kevin Nolan, Cheik Tiote, Jonas Gutierrez, Peter Lovenkrands, Shola Ameobi.
Subs: Steve Harper, James Tavernier, Shane Ferguson, Ryan Taylor, Ryan Donaldson, Nile Ranger, Shefki Kuqi.
Birmingham: Ben Foster, Stephen Carr, Roger Johnson, Martin Jiranek, Liam Ridgewell, Sebastian Larsson, Lee Bowyer, Barry Ferguson, Jean Beausejour, Keith Fahey, Cameron Jerome.
Subs: Colin Doyle, Stuart Parnaby, Curtis Davies, David Bentley, Alexander Hleb, Matt Derbyshire, Kevin Phillips.
So, if Wigan lose, and we get anything we are 100% safe? Time for the bevvies 😛

Full team news updated anyway. Birmingham playing 4-5-1.
toonsy(Quote)
he pretty much confirms that Carroll was telling the truth and they wanted him gone IMO, If carroll was the backstabbing money grabbing **** they had pardew dutifully claiming he was then why give him any credit at all.
The guy is a clown and he has the political antennae of bernard manning… 🙄
CC(Quote)
Cheers Arran, relying on newcastle today, cause if we actually lose it’ll be a sh1te day 👿
NewkieBrown(Quote)
CC – It says to me that it was a good deal all round. The thing that irks me is that surely he must realise, as he says he does, that nearly every player who leaves every club gets a tough rap. I’d bet Bowyer and Carr get a bit today, Joey Barton got it an Man City. It happens, so why make a big deal of it?

Toonsy-
Because like keggy tells un knows **** about football, I cant believe that ashley hasnt knocked him on the head and brought in say david dein to run the club, Ashley would get far less stick and i dare bet the club would progress on and off the pitch…
CC(Quote)
David Dein? One problem….. ££££
toonsy(Quote)
Well employing the likes of wise/lambarse/jiminez and kinnear cost ashley big ££££ and a fair few €€€€ for xisco.
The penny has to drop somewhere, Mort wasnt despised…
CC(Quote)
shola and loven didnt deserve to play 2day , i wuda played ranger and kuqi , wudnt of been any worse
Army69(Quote)
CC – Aye true, which is strange considering Mort was the man in charge when it all kicked off and was equally as guilty of lying as the rest of them.
toonsy(Quote)
Toonsy @ 9 I thought he said he wouldn’t be back 😆
and at 19 a lot of people dont realise that Mort was involved in the Lies
