Big Geordie

Carroll getting ready to come on. For Harewood, I imagine.

Chance for Guthrie, but he volley's straight at Basso. Then he pulls off a fantastic save from Nolan. Bit more like it!

I think wor lot aren't that arsed about wanting to win this. Hughton's arsekicking at HT hasn't worked.

No changes for us at HT.

One word - yes.

Half Time. First 5mins did well - since then, rubbish.

Corner to us.....

Zurab yellow carded.

Chance to Maynard who puts one just over.

It does sound very poor, after we made a good start. Midfield letting us down again for the second game running.

Guthrie sounds like he's having a shitter again.

Smith just played a dodgy ball and Ryan Taylor brought someone down. Lucky not to conceed a penalty apparently.

We've gone off the ball last 5mins... Zurab plays a sloppy backpass and we get away with it. Need to pick it up again.

Harewood hits the post after being set up by Lovenkrands....

Sounds like we've made a good start - couple of shouts for a penalty already.

Howay!

Simpson apparently playing LB, with Ryan Taylor at RB.

Radio Newcastle suggesting that Zurab could slot in at LB, with R Taylor ad RB and Simpson moving inside to partner Steven Taylor. Guess we'll just have to see.

Enrique will be a big miss. I'm pleased to see Jonas and Lovenkrands in - should give us some much needed pace.

Fan representation/ownership works at the top level in Spain and Germany. Why not this country? If the NUST believe they have the backing to have a go at doing this, then I wish them good luck.

Bobyule - a classic mentalist when it comes to believing the vacuous bile that Ashley and Llambias spew out.

Lambiarse & other have been good at selling it as NEWCASTLE UNITED V KEEGAN & if he wins were in the s***, so you cant blame people for buying the spin. They haven't been 'good' though. The people who believed that rubbish were surely in the minority as well as people/fans involved with other clubs? I think it's the latter that Llambias will have been targetting.

I'm bemused by the stance of the Keegan haters/pro Ashley brigade. Just what does the latter have to do to this club before they wake up and smell the coffee?

I've unashamedly said yes. The man has a proven track record.

Am pleased that KK has won and he can hold his head up high. Since all this began, he has behaved in a dignified way, whilst the club have looked to sully his reputation over the last year or so since this began. It shows for all to see that Newcastle United is being ran by liars who show nothing but contempt for their customers (the fans) This takeover business cannot go through quick enough for me. Get that fat c**t and his cohorts out of the club once and for all. Disgrace the lot of them. I also hope there are some potential charges to be brought over seeking to curry favour with two agents, if it is illegal. And if this it true and action is taken - that the individuals responsible are duely punished.
