Haha, this is ace. Derby have scored. If Wigan can pull something out the bag a top-half finish may just be a half-chance for us.

Imagine how you'd be feeling if this was the match that effectively decided who would be in the top flight next season.. I'd probably die of heart failure at half time!

This is the match where heros are made. This will be my game of the season. Always leaves me excited and scared at the prospect.

Could have won it, overall happy with a point and a clean sheet. 5 games undefeated.

And he's been pretty s*** by his recent standards. I'll take your word for that. Very impressed thus far. Last full game I watched was.. Villa I think. That's my measuring stick, hah.

This is the first game I've watched on TV since we've picked up and for me the transformation of the midfield - Butt in particular - is astounding. I've watched extended highlights, but it's no way near the same. Enrique had a shaky start for me, seems a bit frustrated. Martins started off brightly. I'd say we've been more of a threat but Pompey aren't really being dominated. 3 points is still a possibility at this point.

Before Keegan arrived I felt that if Zog had gone I would have been gutted. Now that Keegan is here I'm not all that bothered. Not sure why this is, I guess I just have faith in the man. Something I didn't really have with previous managers.

Definitely not having a go, but to those saying that he needs to earn the money currently invested in him.. I can't really think of a situation where he was to blame. He can't help dangerous injuries, nor can he be at fault for being placed in a team that isn't functioning and not providing him with service. Over the last few weeks Keegan has shown what Owen is capable of if used in a position that works for him and the team. I don't understand how people are still writing the man off when his goals this season have pulled us out of trouble. But then again, I don't see Mort as a man to throw money and wages about. If Owen did get an increase I doubt it'd be ridiculous. The man's a lawyer after all.

They showed fuck all highlights, proper rushed through. Slightly disappointed now. Wonder what Lawro & company have to say.

If I know I'll be watching it on MOTD later I'll avoid all chances to watch the goals. I love watching fresh footage on MOTD with a can/brew in hand. On a side note - How come Shearer is never on MOTD when we win?

This thread is well vitriolic. Paddy Kenny on the bench?

Now that the season is approaching a thankful end and it looks like we'll be safe (knock on wood), it's becoming apparent that it's fairly clear who will be going down - Bolton, Fulham and Derby. I saw an article saying that Diouf had told Bolton's fans that he'd be leaving the Reebok at the end of the season if they stayed up or not and this got me thinking - are there any players from the bottom 3 that you'd like to have here at St. James Park next season? Strangely at the beginning of the season there were a few players that I thought I'd take from maybe Bolton, but since Keegan has taken control again my expectations of future signings has been higher, even though we have had a very disappointing campaign.

Over the last few weeks, I have become less and less bothered about other clubs. Premiership fixtures that don't affect Newcastle's survival have no appeal to me and I doubt they will for the rest of the season. What annoys me more than anything though is the blatant bias towards Newcastle in the press - and it is bias. Like lovejoy said, if we had appointed him we would have been ripped to shreds. And the reason this annoys me so much is because of the complete opposite other clubs get. Negative stories are met with little coverage, but every positive aspect is waxed lyrical by pundits and the papers. It does my tree in. I know a lot of other clubs would like to see us go down - I've been told by fans of rival clubs that it's our fault. We have delusions of grandeur and that we think that we're a big club and deserve to win the league season in, season out. This is absolute rubbish, I can live without winning trophies - I don't have much choice with this, but what I do expect is a team and a manager that is willing to have a go and play their heart out for the people that support them week in, week out. With Keegan and the summer ahead, I honestly believe we will have a go. I have complete faith in the man. And in the future, when Newcastle are back where they belong and the press are wanking all over us, talking us up and Sky are giving us Super Sunday fixtures I'll think back to now and remember how the lot of them have tried their hardest to send us down. Fuck the lot of them.

Cheers very much Villa, sheesh.

HAHAHAHA!!!!!! FUCK BRISTOL CITY, FUCK LEICESTER, FUCK CARDIFF, FUCK WOLVES, BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PREMIERSHIP, BABY! Now stay at St. James you cunts!

Hmmm, not sure. In the space of a week our midfield has improved a great deal, not to say that it's overly good, but we're not getting overrun. It' also good to see Keegan not playing the likes of Smith and Duff for the sake of it. I have to feel though that the return of Viduka has something to do with the improvement. I'm not a massive fan of him, especially his attitude, but you can't really argue his quality on the ball. Viduka was on Radio Newcastle before the game saying he tries not to watch football in his free time. Seems like he's not exactly that taken with his profession. Saturday Kitchen tbh Haha, Ready Steady Cook. Butt with a crunching tackle.

What a shot!

good chance?? Good build-up and Owen passes to no-one. Been lively though, just need a bit more quality on the final ball.

Wigan win a penalty. 1-1.

Owen fluffs it

Blackburn beating Wigan, results going our way!

This sounds like it's going to be an amazing game! End to end!

HAHAH!!

Sorry if this has been said, but I had a quick browse and couldn't find anything.. is this on t'internet radio at all? Century? BBC Newcastle?
