Have you ever seen Mick Lowes?

Can't wait for the man of the match announcement. Presumably it'll be Milner, as the usual choice (Taylor) isn't on the pitch

Roberts 2-0

Dyer and Bramble booed off? Shola and Ramage on.

Parker with yet another effort straight at Friedel. Games livened up.

Milner TRIES THE BENDER!!!!!!!! but he missed...off target. Not worth getting excited about.

Christ we've come to life. And still failed to score.

Sue Smith of Leeds Unied ladies has been sent off. Since when has that been on the Vidiprinter?

Phew. Mick Lowes 1 - 0 me Blackburn went through one on one, whistle blows. Lowes goes "that's got to be off" and I assumed Bramble/Gooch had tripped the last man and would be dimissed. However, Lowes meant it was offside. End of tangent

Milner.

Waiting for a load of "look at Bolton without Big Sam" headlines

The Monty Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence

0-1 McCarthy, suspicion of offside

Struggling with an injury not necessarily with talent.

Dyer with the first chance with a header, tipped behind. Harper's really struggling

Thigh injury in training

I love football ironies. That's a delicious double pun btw

Oh and also http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=39332.0

Is it not Milner left and Dyer right?

I thought Ball would take it, he used to take them for Everton

Ball wins a pen. And they pick Vassell to take it. He missed for England so he's bound to score here, it's been the theme of the week. He misses!
