We can the head into the final game of the season – at home to Arsenal – without any real pressure knowing that we have Premier League football to look forward to next season.
A win at QPR, with their squad of expensive signings who will no doubt be looking for a way out of the club in the next few weeks, should be simple. Already resigned to relegation, and with the poorest home record in the league, they have nothing to play for other than pride whilst we have everything still on the line. However our away record this season suggests that we won’t win this game although I am of course waiting to be pleasantly surprised.
For some more background on the match, along with injury news, a look at the history of the fixture between the two clubs, some facts and stats for both sides and some random thinking at the end, why not head over and read my match preview which is online here.
The game itself is not being shown live on the TV here in the UK. However there are a number of overseas TV channels who have chosen to broadcast the match so catching a stream shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Hopefully. If you happen to find a good stream then please feel free to share it with your fellow Newcastle fans by leaving a link in the ‘comments’ section below.
Team news will be provided by myself today before I head off to work and miss the match, which is probably a good omen for us to be fair. I will endeavour to add the teamsheet in full at the bottom of this article.
Now is the time to deliver.
Howay the lads!
QPR: Rob Green, Jose Bosingwa, Nedum Onuoha, Clint Hill, Armand Traore, Andros Townsend, Jermaine Jenas, Stephane Mbia, Junior Hoilett, Loic Remy, Bobby Zamora
Subs: Brian Murphy, Fabio, Shaun Derry, Park Ji-Sung, Adel Taarabt, Jamie Mackie, Esteban Granero
Newcastle: Rob Elliot; Mathieu Debuchy, Fabricio Coloccini, Mike Williamson, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa; Cheik Tiote, Yohan Cabaye, Jonas Gutierrez; Hatem Ben Arfa, Yoan Gouffran, Papiss Cisse
Subs: Steve Harper, Danny Simpson, James Perch, Vurnon Anita, Sylvain Marveaux, Gabriel Obertan, Adam Campbell
Elliot could get red here ? what a FUKING DOCILE ***** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pardew and Redknapp must be watching this game and thinking what a fuking bunch of numbnuts playing in this game, and all earning FUKING squillions:
What an absolute crock of ****.

MDS(Quote)
Kim, might as well wonder if he got sent off on purpose to make sure that Harps could finish his NUFC career on the field.
Actually, I like that theory, and so choose to believe it. 😎

IRON MIKE WILLIAMSON what more can one say ?
Munich Mag(Quote)
What a wretched, wretched game. We were fucking awful. Good thing QPR were fucking awful-er.
Boy, what has happened to the spirit of this team?
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
QPR fans running riot on the field in frustration. 😈 😈

Kim
Nope with Villa and wigan playing each other they both cant catch us
CC(Quote)
**** my heart is still thumping… great win 🙂 🙂 could have played better but who gives a **** 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
No Kim, we’re safe. Every team on 41 points is.
blip(Quote)
And it’s still possible for Sunderland to get relegated. Woo-hoo! 😎
Wellington(Quote)
No Kim. Since villa play Wigan, even if Wigan win we’d be a point better than them. A draw and Wigan goes down. We’re safe
MDS(Quote)
what a relief, now i can lie down and die
Newkie(Quote)
We haven’t got a fuking clue.
At least we are clueless in the big league though. Thank flock for that….
Munich Mag(Quote)
Than villa
MDS(Quote)
Collo was awesome, Williamson looked ok and Mbiwa is our best left back – not sure on Debuchy though – poor game
stevep(Quote)
Full-time: Sunderland 1-1 Southampton.
😈 😈
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Now we can sack Pardew and get someone who knows what they are doing in Cmon Mike pull your finger out.
Santii(Quote)
😎 😎 Don’t know what all the fuss was about 😎 😎 Never in doubt that we’d stay up.
brisvegas(Quote)
Thank Christ for that. Well done lads and home farewell for Harps.
Geordie Deb(Quote)
F*cking get in!
The Kid(Quote)
Yet another awful gut wrenching performance. I think our manager should be sacked now.
georgio(Quote)
We have the summer to sort our **** out now…. things can not stay as they are… sooooooooo relieved:-)
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
How much different are we as a side with Coloccini in it?
**** the bed.
He’s so fucking important.
Graham Carr better put his scouting cap on, cos I don’t believe we have anyone to fill his boots when he ***** off.
Hopefully he won’t.
Rodzilla(Quote)
Squeaky *** time for Wigan ,Scum AND Villa then 😈 My three detested teams.
Safe safe safe safe safe safe yes 😀
KIMTOON(Quote)
Guys, let’s relax our nerves by watching manchester united match with SAF last home game.
We will not be able to see fergie time, chewing gum antics anymore. 😥 😥
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Where is that neggar Batty?? He had us down for sure earlier this week 🙂 🙂
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
What a player Colo is (apart from little slip up at the end). Please stay. We look so much better in defence with him there. Williamson I thought also played well.
Geordie Deb(Quote)
Good job MA was there to see that. I can’t imagine for one second he enjoyed what he saw.
blip(Quote)
So i heard Mourinho wants to come back PL. Any chance of finally taking up newcastle hotseat?
😆 😆
Since he did rejected lat sir bobby robson offer in the past.
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Well thank f— for that. Wasn’t half nervy though. Well if results go our way and we beat Arsenal then we’ll be 10th
.
Andymag(Quote)
WTF did Pardew tell the team at half time? My guess is the same as every halftime talk when we’re leading “sit back and we’ll coast this one”. It’s ridiculous and has to be sorted out.
Andymag(Quote)
I’ll second that Deb 😎
Rodzilla(Quote)
Rodo-Agree mate. He was poor this season by his standards but he is top notch in reality. He is absolutely crucial. I pray we can hold on to him just for another year or two.
I’m so happy, all the clubs that I hate the most are still with a shout of relegation
Good luck to all the c*nts. I 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈
Newkie(Quote)
SAFE!
NOW people can start being picky about things.
toonsy(Quote)
Love it for Wigan to win on Tuesday. If they don’t, the relegation excitement will end with a whimper, after promising so much.
brisvegas(Quote)
Andy @369 – it would have been more along the lines of “keep it tight at the back”. Debuchy was listening, at least.
Wellington(Quote)
Perfect game for Harps to bow out next week. Elliot looks like he was feeling too much stress.
