It’s game on against Birmingham City as the Magpies welcome the Blues to St James’ Park for what is the final Saturday 3pm kick-off of the campaign.
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.

whey, I said 3-1 so they had to score sometime
richietoon(Quote)
Thats something I always think about why does our keeper never release the ball quickly like they have just done
Big Dave(Quote)
Ill let Colo off, that was a rare mistake from him. If it was Saylor, ide be chopping his …. off 😆
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
What did I say last week about Krul and deflected goals???? Doesn’t matter how well we play, the ball will find it’s way in!!!!!!
Pete(Quote)
Mackems are winning aswell 👿

If we win are we mathematically safe no matter what?
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
We best win this! 1 off an accy as it stands, sort it out bolton!
Jobey07(Quote)
Jobey, your making me want the scum to win 😆
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Spencer-Yes
NewkieBrown(Quote)
That puts us 10th at the minute. 10 shots on target? Never thought it was that many?
toonsy(Quote)
Spencer – For the 50th time, yes.
toonsy(Quote)
Spencer- can’t you count yourself? you get 3 for a win, and the bottom 3 go down, that helped you at all?
Jobey07(Quote)
There all diffrent questions though sy 😉
But if BLP who are on 35 points beat spurs they go to 38 with 6 points still to play for. and if we win we will be on 44 meaning BLP can still catch us and they occupy 18th place… 😕
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Jobey-Shoot of, im not in mood!
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Spencer ye get 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
Im going, your all kunts 😆

Krul never fills me with much confidence. Think too many of us remember that Palermo performance and live in hope.

loven isn’t actually that bad as everyone makes him out to be.. hard worker, fast/quick, most shots are on target…. problem is that he never gets them past the keeper
frysian(Quote)
Buddy Ed will still be pulling the head of it 😆

Has Larsson been that bad? Haven’t been able to see more than a few minutes due to streams going out. Thought he had an idea or two early on, but no one else did for them
