    • Newcastle United
    • Leicester City
    • - Thanks for joining us this evening!
    • 90'+4 FT. Leicester run out of time and Newcastle go top of the Championship table with that 1-0 win.
    • 90'+4 Into the final minute now and Newcastle are trying to hold onto the ball and see this one out...
    • 90'+2 Leicester coming forward again but Newcastle clear a cross from the left as Howard despairs in the middle at the poor delivery he's had to endure this evening.
    • 90' Adams comes on for N'Guessan for Leicester as the fourth official signals four minutes of added time to be played...
    • 90' Smith with a great double challenge after losing possession.
    • 89' Steve Taylor gets forward and wins a throw deep in Leicester's half... Another Newcastle change sees Barton leave to applause to be replaced by Kadar.
    • 87' Newcastle three minutes away from moving to the top of the table, as Geremi wins a free-kick out of N'Guessan.
    • 85' Newcastle make a change as 17-year-old Vuckic comes on for Ranger, who goes off to a standing ovation... Guthrie makes way for Donaldson.
    • 82' Leicester continuing to come forward, but N'Guessan fires well over as the ball falls to him 20 yards out.
    • 81' The ball almost breaks for Ranger as Hobbs's slip sees the ball break loose. He's not expecting it though and the danger passes.
    • 79' Steve Taylor makes it to the back post but there's too much pace on the delivery from his namesake Ryan and he skews the ball wide.
    • 78' Ryan Taylor is cynically blocked by Berner, who's booked for his misdemeanour. Newcastle have a free-kick on the right, and it's prime territory...
    • 77' Fast approaching the final 10 minutes, and I reckon there's another goal in this game. It could go either way though...
    • 74' Ranger is again the architect as Barton fires over from 20 yards. Not far over at all...
    • 74' Guthrie goes in the book for a silly challenge on Oakley.
    • 73' Newcastle are putting Leicester under pressure all the time. They want that second goal badly...
    • 70' Ranger's having a great game for Newcastle! He comes inside and lays the ball on a plate for Nolan on the edge of the area. The midfielder shoots straight at Weale and knows he should've done better!
    • 69' Waghorn replaces Fryatt as Leicester make another change...
    • 68' Smith runs onto the ball and has a low shot saved by Weale after Ranger did well to hold the ball up and lay it off.
    • 66' Ranger's doing well up front for Newcastle. Winning the ball, and he's been unlucky to not win a few free-kicks too...
    • 64' Leicester looking to build something from midfield...
    • 62' Dyer takes the set piece, poorly, and it ricochets off the wall for a corner.
    • 61' Barton brings Wellens down on the edge of the area and this is a good chance for the Foxes...
    • 61' Dyer replaces Gallagher for Leicester...
    • 60' Nolan whips the free-kick in but it evades everyone...
    • 59' Berner brings down Guthrie and Newcastle can hoist this one in from the right side...
    • 58' Barton tries to dink the ball back for Nolan from the by-line but his cross hasn't got enough on it and Leicester clear.
    • 56' Newcastle have been transformed by that goal, they want it so bad!
    • 55' Geremi wants a piece of the goalscoring action! He takes the ball central on the edge of the area and fires a shot inches wide of the left post!
    • 52' GOAL FOR NEWCASTLE! Guthrie fires in a simple but bullet-like shot from the edge of the area! He comes inside a challenge as Ranger lays the ball on for him, and it's an unstoppable rising shot from the midfielder!
    • 51' N'Guessan fires off a tame shot which Harper takes easily. Leicester have started the half well...
    • 48' Oakley takes the ball on early and fires off a shot which fails to trouble Harper, but it had the legs, even if it lacked direction.
    • 47' Ranger gets a shot off despite slipping under a challenge, and it's not that far off target...
    • 46' The second half gets underway...
    • 45'+3 HT. And that's the end of the first 45 minutes. Goalless at the break, can either side break the deadlock after the interval?
    • 45'+3 But Gallagher balloons the set piece well over.
    • 45'+2 Leicester finishing strong and Smith gives away a free-kick as he clips Howard's heels...
    • 45'+1 Wasted chance by Fryatt! He does so well to skip clear and cut inside another challenge, before curling the ball well wide.
    • 45' Two minutes of added time to be played at the end of this half...
    • 44' Late offside flag as Guthrie's put through one-on-one with Weale by Barton's pass. Correct call.
    • 43' Enrique gets one over on N'Guessan as he outwits the Leicester wideman, who had been causing the Spaniard a few problems earlier.
    • 42' The rain's hammering down, and there are plenty of players losing their footing.
    • 40' Fryatt turns well and gets the ball in, but Harper is all over it.
    • 38' ANOTHER GOOD SAVE FROM HARPER! Gallagher bends a free-kick round the wall but the keeper makes it down to his left to palm it away!
    • 37' Ranger is incorrectly flagged offside as he holds his run when fed by Barton.
    • 36' Geremi makes a hash of things in the corner as he loses control and concedes a goal-kick, when Newcastle looked to be in a promising position.
    • 34' Super cross from Oakley from the right, as he sends a pacey, dipping delivery across the six-yard area. No-one can get on the end of it though!
    • 33' Ryan Taylor fires over after Leicester fail to clear properly. Guthrie found his way into the Foxes' area but was well dealt with by Brown, although the visitors couldn't get rid of the ball.
    • 32' Howard finds a bit of space on the edge of Newcastle's area and opts to shoot, but his effort is way off target.
    • 30' A lull in action as Barton skews an attempted cross-field ball into touch.
    • 28' Harper punches clear under pressure as Leicester try the aerial route.
    • 27' Brown over-hits a ball down the left to Berner and Newcastle have the goal-kick.
    • 26' Another spell of Leicester pressure ends with N'Guessan hammering a shot well over from 25 yards or so.
    • 24' Fryatt goes down on the edge of the area as he tangles with Steve Taylor while trying to meet Wellens's ball over the top.
    • 23' N'Guessan's proving a good source of attack down the right for Leicester, but Jose Enrique comes out on top this time...
    • 21' SUPER SAVE FROM HARPER! Great bullet header from Howard but the Newcastle keeper is more than equal to it, pulling off a great reaction stop!
    • 20' Ranger gets a good kncok-down for Nolan and the midfielder's shot is blocked.
    • 18' Newcastle get forward down the left but Leicester clear. Ryan Taylor writhes in pain after a collision, but he's back up after a couple of minutes.
    • 15' Penalty appeal by Newcastle turned away! It's for a double handball, the second of which looked more likely off Wayne Brown as Ryan Taylor's delivery from the left causes panic.
    • 14' Fryatt's again caught off as he tries to race onto a through ball.
    • 12' Howard gets a good knock-on but Fryatt can't quite connect with the ball as Harper gathers.
    • 11' End-to-end stuff and Geremi races clear, laying the ball on to Guthrie on the right. He cuts inside and squares to Nolan, whose low shot is held by Weale.
    • 10' Some jostling inside the Leicester area as Ryan Taylor's corner comes in. Ranger chests the ball down but slips, and the Foxes can clear.
    • 9' Ranger wins the first corner of the game for Newcastle with some strong forward play...
    • 7' Weale's put under pressure by Ranger after a short backpass almost sells the keeper short.
    • 5' Leicester are running the rule in midfield at the moment, and N'Guessan tries to ping one in which Steve Taylor diverts into the path of Harper. A stronger touch would've seen an own goal there...
    • 3' Fryatt's caught offside as Howard slips him in with a nice flick.
    • 2' N'Guessan makes a bright start as he flies down the right and blasts the ball into the side netting. Newcastle have started well, passing the ball nicely.
    • 1' And we're underway at St James' Park...

    What game were you watching!
    Nowt worse­ than a sore loser!
    A good game from 2 decent teams; one­ team (NUFC) just shaded it and therefore deserved to­ win!
    Leicester will do well this season and a play-off­ place beckons!!!!
    As for the Toon - squad is­ disgracefully bare and as a result, we will sadly­ struggle when injuries and suspensions kick in! We­ struggled to even field a side last night - that's­ how thin we are!!!

The­ Toon is certainly a place be it among shoppers boozers­ partygoers or simple folk that trek up to gollowgate,­ the toon is is a place that can be touched smelled­ veiwed, to the geordies the toon is simply Shrang li la­ that sells broon ale and woodbines. The toon army is­ but a small part of wor heaven.
