Hleb off injured. Have 5 days off lad, will do you good.

This has been some game, for the neutral at least

Fuck off Bentley

MARTINS! Get in son

Phew

Butt booked

Bruce deserves everything he gets for leaving Sibi out of the 16

Pedersen is "Lacking confidence" in recent weeks, supposedly.

Bentley used to play there for Norwich but in all honesty I don't know

Blackburn: Friedel, Emerton, Warnock, Ooijer, Samba, Tugay, Mokoena, Dunn, Bentley, McCarthy, Santa Cruz

Subs: Harper, Viduka, Emre, Enrique, Carr

At Ewood they have the Chelsea/West Ham match on the big screens, I was really confused when I could hear someone shouting "JOE COOLLLEEE" in the background but it's all clear now

Team according to Radio Newcastle: 4-5-1/4-3-3 Given, Beye, Rozenhal, Faye, Zog, Geremi, Barton, Butt, Milner, Martins, Smith

Mick Lowes says: "Alan Smith has been given a pivotal role this afternoon" More soon.

Nelsen misses our game then, yes? http://www.newcastle-online.com/2006/12/14/keeping-you-all-in-suspense/ has all the details Nice one Max Mosley

Nelsen misses our game then, yes?

McCarthy has been passed fit for their game against Villa tonight...unless you're ITK.

How serious is Fabregas' injury? Anybody watching that game?

Another assist for Pattison tonight, planting a corner on Dion Dublin's shiny shiny head.

Oh good, me and Gav saw the same game then.

Their defence doesn't attack much? Both Blackburn full backs seemed to be instrumental in a large number of their attacks from what I saw tbh.

McCarthy's gone off injured for Blackburn, I would be gutted if he couldn't play against us next week...

Got injured playing for the Ivory Coast

I went up a pleasant 30 places today, up to 13th. Unlucky 13th
