    Time:90'
    • Cardiff City
    • Newcastle United
    • 90+5' Referee Hall blows the final whistle! Newcastle have hung on and return to the top of the Championship!
    • 90+3' Chopra hits the free-kick into the wall and Newcastle survive!
    • 90+2' Alan Smith chops Bothroyd from behind and the Newcastle captain is sent off! And a dangerous free-kick for Cardiff!
    • 90' Into stoppage time now, and Cardiff must throw everything and everyone forward.
    • 87' Frustration for Cardiff as Jose Enrique gets between Burke and the ball and sees it out for a goal kick.
    • 84' Another big penalty shout as Bothroyd goes down in the box under the challenge of Coloccini, but once more referee Andy Hall turns down the appeal!
    • 82' Chopra fires a shot against the arm of Steven Taylor!! No penalty as it was clearly not intentional, but had the arm not been there it would have been one-all!
    • 79' The crowd continue to roar the home side forward, but it is now starting to look like the equaliser will never come.
    • 76' Newcastle deploy Nicky Butt to shore things up in midfield - he replaces Ryan Taylor.
    • 73' Another missed opportunity for Cardiff as Bothroyd sends his header wide.
    • 70' Jose Enrique is fouled and Newcastle havea free-kick... cleared by Cardiff.
    • 68' Cardiff change: Kelvin Etuhu replaces Peter Whittingham.
    • 66' Alan Smith catches Ledley and is rather harsh booked. "What for?" asks the Newcastle skipper.
    • 65' Newcastle deserve credit for their defending. Steven Taylor intercepts a Whittingham cross and last season's much-maligned defensive line is doing a good job.
    • 63' Cardiff free-kick, Chopra and Bothroyd over it... Chopra tees up his strike partner but the shot is blocked.
    • 62' Newcastle change: Peter Lovenkrands comes on for Danny Guthrie. Meanwhile, Joe Ledley is back on his feet and OK.
    • 60' Marshall goes up well to claim a cross.. but Ledley stays down injured.
    • 57' It really is all Cardiff in the second half here. The crowd are behind them and it seems like the equaliser is just a matter of time.
    • 54' Gerrard knocks a free-kick forward, but the move breaks down for a foul on Alan Smith of all people.
    • 51' Tremendous run from Chopra, who crosses low for Bothroyd and Harper is out bravely to smother it. Bothroyd stays down injured - he should be OK.
    • 48' Newcastle knock it long towards Ranger deep inside the Cardiff half. He is muscled off the ball and ends up conceding a throw.
    • 46' Second half under way! No substitutions from either manager.
    • 46' That's half-time, and Newcastle might count themselves fortunate to be going in a goal to the good.
    • 45' Cardiff have a free-kick 30 yards out, but Ledley hits it into the wall and the rebound does not trouble Harper.
    • 43' Cynical play by Danny Guthrie, who holds back Jay Bothroyd and sees a yellow card.
    • 40' Whittingham goes down easily to win a free-kick that is hotly disputed by Newcastle... but they defend it well.
    • 38' Ledley continues to dictate play in the centre of the park for Cardiff. He looks a very good player.
    • 36' Cardiff have played some good stuff so far and will consider themselves a little unlucky to be behind.
    • 34' The free-kick is drilled in and Alan Smith reacts well to head the ball over for a corner.
    • 33' Jose Enrique is booked and Cardiff have another promising free-kick position.
    • 32' Slick work by Whittingham on the left, and his cross is cleared only as far as Lesley, who sees his shot blocked!
    • 30' Chopra has a shot for Cardiff, but Steven Harper has it covered.
    • 27' What a chance! Great move from Cardiff as Ledley finds Chopra who crosses for Rae, but his shot flies high over the bar!
    • 25' Coloccini is forced into action at the defensive end of the pitch under pressure from Whittingham - he sees the ball out for a goal-kick.
    • 22' Burke's corner is well cleared by Newcastle, and now they have a free-kick as Ledley crocks Barton.
    • 21' Bothroyd goes for goal, and his shot is deflected over. Corner.
    • 19' Jose Enrique fouls Bothroyd - free-kick to Cardiff. Can they get back into the game.
    • 18' GOAL!!! Fabricio Coloccini scores his first goal for Newcastle!! Cardiff fail to clear the corner and the Argentine nets a thumping header from close range!
    • 17' Ryan Taylor's shot is blocked but he will troy across to take the corner on the Newcastle right.
    • 15' Whittingham has a shot which is parried, and Ledley seized on the follow-up... blocked!
    • 13' The sun is creating a real problem for both sets of players - the linesman on one side is even wearing a cap.
    • 11' Burke races down the Cardiff right but is crowded out by Jose Enrique. The ball is back with Newcastle.
    • 9' The new darling of the Toon fans, Nile Ranger, gets a start today, while Newcastle old boy Michael Chopra lines up for Cardiff.
    • 7' Ryan Taylor delivers a long throw from the right for Newcastle... headed away.
    • 5' The free-kick comes to nothing. Newcastle, incidentally, are wearing that lovely yellow-on-yellow change strip of theirs.
    • 4' A classic, mis-timed Alan Smith tackle gives Cardiff a chance to send a free-kick into the visitors' box.
    • 2' This really does feel like a Premier League game. Cardiff might not be everybody's cup of tea, but they have the ground and the support to match their ambition.
    • 1' We have a full house in the Cardiff City Stadium on a perfect afternoon for football. And several thousand Geordies have made the 630-mile round trip.
    • - TEAMS: CARDIFF: Marshall, Hudson, Capaldi, Quinn, Gerrard, Rae, Whittingham, Burke, Ledley, Chopra, Bothroyd... Subs: Enckelman, Kennedy, Gyepes, McPhail, Etuhu, Taiwo, Matthews...

  12. Cardiff sold some good players in the summer but they­ won't be far away at the end of the season.
    On the­ other hand Newcastle remain unbeaten and this start to­ the season must be really encouraging to them and their­ supporters.
    What odds the three relegated sides making­ an immediate return.

Makes a change from­ the three match marathon bans he used to­ get..........so he has mellowed a teensy weensy bit ;-)­
