Newcastle v Liverpool, 13:30

Looking forward to tomorrows game with a rubbish kick off time.
Bad for traveling supporters but worse for the home ones because the pubs dont open until 12.
Going to a football match sober is neither big nor clever.

However my attentions are diverted to more pressing matters , namely Darlington V Carlisle.
Being the glory seeker that I am Im going in with the away fans today and will more than likely outnumber the home fans.

Carlisle top of the league and with league two's player of the year Super Karl Hawley scoring freely along with Michael Bridges it should be a good game.
I went to this fixture two years ago and it was probably the worse game I have ever seen.

It'll be like the wild west , cant wait :cool:
12:40 train to Darlo

C'mon the Blues!

I cant see Newcastle getting a kick again this week TBH.

Be a different game from last week though, Liverpool will just simply pass it around Newcastle for 90 minutes.
Season is a write off , we wont be relegated or qualify for europe.
It wouldnt bother me all that much if we dont win but a spineless display like last weeks horror show wont be forgiven.
 
No real suprises among yesterdays results.
Is it any coincidence that the team widely regarded as the most improved in the Premiership this season is Blackburn ?
A team whose two most significant changes were when Souness left to be replaced by a proper man manager and when that manager then signed Bellamy.
That hurts me.

The Darlington V Carlisle game was a cracker , five nowt to the blues and results going their way to keep them top of the league.
Stadium in an industrial area out of town so a long walk to the ground coupled with woefully inadequate policing made for some good old fashioned aggro before and after the game.
I bet coallition night time patrols in Iraq are less dangerous than the walk back to the station in Darlington.
Magic.
A healthy 8640 attendance bolstered by 6 toon fans with nothing better to do on a saturday made it Darlingtons highest attendance this season.
They generally average around 3500 in a 30,000 seater stadium!!

Today is where it matters though , another 52k sellout for a team that hasnt won a domestic trophy since 1955.
Nowhere else in the country would that happen , im 100% sure of that.
NUFC: Given, Harper, Ramage, Elliott, Babayaro, Bramble, Boumsong, Moore, Parker, Emre, Bowyer, Clark, Dyer, Luque, Ameobi, Pattison, Faye, Chopra, Solano, N'Zogbia, Shearer.

Only 3 injuries now , Owen , Carr and Steve "the power" Taylor.
Moorecelino in the squad for the first time this season , cheers for signing him Graeme , he's been great :rolleyes:

I expect only 1 change from last weeks humiliated team - Bramble possibly in for Elliott.

Im glad Fowler broke his duck during the week as I could see him doing it against the registered charity that is NUFC's defence.
Will be a tough game today and I think we will struggle to get something from it.
Im going for an optomistic score draw.
Haway the lads.
 
Completely outplayed yesterday.
Another sound beating by a team that barely needed to break sweat to win.
Too many players under performing to mount an even half arsed attempt to get a result.

I hope Boumsong never plays for this club again , his idiocy means we miss him for the Chelsea cup tie.
There is talk that Newcastle have lodged an appeal with the FA against his 1 match ban with the hope of extending it to 3!

I hate Souness so much for what he has done to the club.
During Robsons reign we could compete and outmatch teams like Liverpool , now with £50m spent on the squad we look light years behind.
