The Scunny game at their place is on a Tues night in October IIRC, gonna def try and get to it.



Hey away shirt came today, looks brilliant, really pleased with it.

Will try and get some pics on tommorow.



Wish we still had someone like the Giants away in SL - could have got Newcastle home shirt printed in Hudds football half of the club shop.

Did you pick Taylor as the most likely one to stay????

Well I think he's a class defender (and he's practically a Geordie) anyway, but yeah to be honest it was also a factor, as he'd pledged last season to stay regardless of whether or not Newcastle survived, which I really respect him for.
Thought at one moment about getting Martins, glad I didn't now obviously.

Fair play to him if he helps get you back up...that's the sort of lad you need.

Agree 100% mate, he puts flops like Marcelinho, Boumsong, Bramble etc to shame with his effort, committment and attitude.

Harper - Enrique, S.Taylor, Coloccini, R.Taylor - Duff, Smith, Barton, Jonás - Nolan - Carroll

Our team for tomorrow, apparently. Really looking forward to it now, just want to see us back in action (not sure why though). I hope Hughton will have the likes of Vuckic, Ranger and LuaLua on the bench.

West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Newcastle United

Shelton Martis (39)...



I hope Roberto Di Matteo does a good job there they look a fine footballing side and possibly the strongest in the division...

West Bromwich Albion 1-1 Newcastle United...

Lucky escape for Newcastle at the end albeit definitely offside, I thought West Brom were the slightly better side and Newcastle have Tim Krul to thank for keeping them in the game, Positives for both sides evident...

That was a much better game than the Fri night game.If Middlesbrough and Sheff Utd are 2 of the favourites for promotion there's hope for Newcastle yet.

Still shows how s*it Coloccini, Ameobi, Ryan Taylori and Nolan are.

Just got back, really enjoyed that. Well fought out game that could have gone either way but I think a draw was the fair result.

Alan Smith was superb, not a clue where that performance came from. Tim Krul was also brilliant. I've been calling for him to be given a chance in the team ever since Given left, really pleased he got the opportunity to show what he can do.

Ryan Taylor and Coloccini were awful. Shola wasn't much better, not a clue how he stayed on that long, especially considering Carroll came off before him too.

Finally, the atomsphere was amazing today. Really pleased that football's back, plenty of positives to take from the game too. It's a shame we changed the team around from what it was meant to be, reckon we could have won it had Barton started from the off instead of Shola. If we can bring a couple of players in, mainly a centre back and a striker, we could have a chance of promotion.

David O'Leary? FFS. Is Peter Reid not available?

We couldn't even beat Blackpool last Saturday

FFS please no: www.dailystar.co.uk/football/vie ... or-Moyes-/

Some cracking games ahead tomorrow.

Looking forward to our game at home against Reading, should be an interesting one. I'm hoping Danny Simpson will replace Ryan Taylor at right back.

Looks like Mr Ranger will be leading the line for us tonight, which will be his full league debut. Hopefully Vuckic will get to see some action too.

Should be another good game, we really need Barton to be fit though. Him and Guthrie in the middle of the park would really give Ranger some much needed support in attack, along with Nolan who may end up playing just off Nile's shoulder.

You're safe, until January anyway.

socceroo's ranked 14th now in world rankings

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

we were as low as 89th years ago. with our next game if we win we could crack the top 10

Yeah, seemed like he was on his way to Everton at one point so am glad

(more so because he's class and a key part of the team).

Hopefully Lovenkrands back will be a boost too eh.

Evander Sno to Bristol is a much better signing than Lovenkrands

Can't deny that - as I've not heard of him.

A big boost. Will offer us some much needed pace and movement up front.
