What’s that? Still looking forward to games in early May? A rare treat for United fans!
You see while all the talk will be on Manchester City and whether or not they put one hand on the title by beating us at St James’ Park, the fact remains that we have our own agenda to look after. A win today will see us jump into fourth place at the very least thanks to Arsenal and Norwich drawing 3-3 yesterday, in fact a win could even see us jump into third place depending on how Tottenham get on against struggling Aston Villa. It’s madness really!
It’s going to be tough though. Manchester City have the players to hurt anyone when they are on form so we will have to be wary of them. However that works the other way also as Roberto Mancini will have to task his players to keep an eye on one or two of our own crown jewels if he wants to take three points away from St James’ Park.
I just hope that Nigel de Jong isn’t tasked with looking after our players. Again!
For more background on the match, news of any injury problems, form guides and some fun facts you can peruse my match preview by clicking the blue text at your leisure.
The game is being broadcast live on Sky Sports 1 and via a whole host of overseas broadcasters so streams shouldn’t be too hard to come by. Having said that, if you manage to find a particularly decent one and wish to share it with your fellow NUFC fans then you can do so by leaving a link to it in the ‘comments’ section below.
That just about wraps things up for this. It’s our final home game of the season and I’m sure the players will want to send the full house home happy having secured three points and setting up a rather tense and interesting final day clash with Everton. However to do that we simply must win today.
Howay the lads!

Good half boys.. no stress 🙂
aussie magpie fan(Quote)
Anyone think Micah Richards would consider joining us? Zabaleta is looking like Mancinis preference for big games. Him at Right back with Ben Arfa would be unreal 😯
ManassasMag(Quote)
Been an excellent half for Newcastle…
Every player has been superb. Have to say though, I think Ba’s desperation to score has made him a tad too selfish. The sooner he scores the better.
JJ(Quote)
must say jonas has been incredible so far..fantastic scrambling by the whole team! cisse and ba are fighting but just need to show their quality a little more. we have made inroads, and need to get a goal as its likely city will at some stage
buddy(Quote)
Well done lads ,little pep talk from Pards now and keep up the concentration levels 2nd half and try and sneak a goal at the death that will do me. 😀
kimtoon(Quote)
Three very soft yellow cards there. Hope they don’t cost us.
A very good performance though. Just need to get the ball moved quicker between Cisse and Ba.

Cities wide back men are not pushing too far forward now.. good work from Jonas & benny going forward.. got to keep clichy & zabaletta on the retreat..
aussie magpie fan(Quote)
Fook me. Heavy breathing.
Newkie(Quote)
Christ I want Ba to score ,its turning into a right monkey on his back.
kimtoon(Quote)
Santon is doing well too
ManassasMag(Quote)
JJ-Aye that would be my only criticism as well…Ba needs to go for the pass more often..still, strikers will be strikers

Inshallah Cisse will fire us to victory today… I have a feeling.

Game seems very stretched. Can only suit spurs. Villa need to calm it down and get in to half time
Dubtoon(Quote)
Fucking nervous as hell! Come on boys, keep the ball, pass it around. Get Cabaye a little further up the field, maybe? Or too risky?
