    • - FULL TIME: Plymouth Argyle 0 Newcastle United 2 (Carroll, Routledge) NEWCASTLE PROMOTED; PLYMOUTH RELEGATED
    • 90+3' PEEEP!!!PEEEEP!!!PEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!! That's it. Newcastle United have been crowned champions of the Championship and Plymouth Argyle are relegated. It's a real mix of emotions at Home Park but Newcastle thoroughly deserve the win. Terrible shame for Argyle but their start to the season really set the tone.
    • 90+3' OFF THE LINE!!! Enrique head off the line to keep the clean sheet intact.
    • 90+3' Plymouth have a corner...
    • 90+3' Final seconds.....
    • 90+1' Newcastle have a throw in their own right-back area...Ameobi runs it upfield...Routledge...Guthrie...cut out by N'Gala...
    • 90' Three minutes of added time...
    • 88' Not long now. The Prermier League beckons for Newcastle as League One will be Plymouth's destination for next season.
    • 87' Bolasie puts Mason in...ten yards out but at an angle...the young man puts it over...good chance.
    • 86' The Newcastle fans are cranking up the noise and the Argyle players look totally dejected.
    • 85' GREAT SAVE!!! Stockdale makes an instinctive save from Barton from six yards out after Enrique's cross from the left.
    • 83' WHAT AN EFFORT THAT WAS!!! Leon Best from 20 yards absolutely leathers one left-footed and the ball whizzes past Stockdale and pings off the crossbar!
    • 82' SUB FOR NEWCASTLE: Tamas Kadar replaces Fitz Hall
    • 81' Long ball forward from Plymouth but Williamson repels it...Fletcher...Duguid...N'Gala..forward to Bolasie...offside
    • 80' SUB FOR PLYMOUTH: Yasi Bolasie replaces Onsimor Bhasera
    • 79' Ball forward from Judge towards Mackie but Williamson clears...Smith back to Harper...Simpson...long ball...Newcastle throw...to Ameobi...Routledge but he's offside.
    • 77' Newcastle are seeing out time...Argyle look rushed but are treading water here...
    • 75' Enrique tries to sweep a ball out to Ameobi on the right but it goes out.
    • 74' Judge shoots from distance again but it's wide.
    • 74' SUB FOR PLYMOUTH: Joe Mason replaces Bradley Wright-Phillips
    • 73' Long ball forward from Stockdale....through to Harper...who clears...Ameobi clatters into Stockdale. Hefty.
    • 71' Best forces a corner from Carl Fletcher...Guthrie over it...cleared...Routledge...who fouls Bhasera...then fouls Judge...
    • 70' Not sure Plymouth will fancy a brand new striek force...but that's what they're facing...
    • 70' SUB FOR NEWCASTLE: Leon Best replaces Kevin Nolan; Shola Ameobi replaces Andy Carroll
    • 69' Bhasera forward but Guthrie puts Routledge away down the right but Stockdate takes the cross.
    • 67' Mackie wins a free-kick...Judge to take...straight through to Harper. Poor.
    • 66' Both sides look like they're going to make some changes in personnel.
    • 65' Plymouth are switching to three up front. They need about six up there.
    • 64' Carroll forces a corner...cleared...and Carroll fouls his man...free-kick to Argyle.
    • 62' That sums it up for Plymouth. Wright-Phillips shoots from 35 yards....it's wide. Very wide.
    • 60' Newcastle have a throw on the left...but it's out for an Argyle throw...very scrappy now...Argyle need something and they need it now.
    • 59' Newcastle appear to be a bit too clever at the back...N'Gala whacks into Carroll and the striker comes off second best.
    • 58' Will that inspire Argyle?
    • 56' WHAT AN EFFORT!!! Alan Judge smacks a humdinger from 25 yards and it rattles the crossbar with Harper well beaten. Unlucky.
    • 54' Newcastle force a corner after Harper's long clearance downfield...corner...Guthrie to take...cleared for another corner...cleared...Mackie breaks...wide to Duguid but the ball takes a terrible bounce and goes out.
    • 52' Newcastle have a free-kick. Harper takes...long ball forward...cleared...Mackie gets away from Williamson...goal-kick
    • 51' Argyle look a beaten side...Carroll flicks onto Nolan...he spins N'Gala but volleys just over from 18 yards.
    • 49' Judge down the left and gets a throw...Johnson...Fletcher...Bhasera...Judge again onto Mackie but his effort from 25 yards is way wide.
    • 48' Nolan crosses from the left but Stockdale gathers the cross well at his near post.
    • 47' First shot of the half from Argyle. It's pretty weak and Harper fields it easily.
    • 46' Just to confirm - Plymouth will be relegated if they lose tonight as Palace and Sheff Wed are still to play each other meaning at least one of them will get a point leaving Argyle down.
    • 46' Newcastle start brightly...Plymouth need to get forward and quickly.
    • 46' Off and underway...if it stays as it is Newcastle are up as champions, and Argyle are down.
    • - HALF TIME: Plymouth Argyle 0 Newcastle United 2 (Carroll, Routledge)
    • 45+1' That's half-time and it's a bit harsh on Plymouth. But credit to Newcastle, they've been clinical with the chances that have come their way.
    • 45' One added minute...
    • 44' Guthrie nearly gets in but he loses his footing. The pitch....is a shocker.
    • 42' Throw to Plymouth on the right...Alan Judge on the turn!!! Smacks the stantion behind the goal. So close again.

    • 35' CAUTION: Carroll shown the yellow card for pulling back Alan Judge
    • 35' Judge away down the left...fouled by Carroll
    • 33' Newcastle get it back...Enrique forward but Damian Johnson clears...straight through to Harper.
    • 31' Hall tackles Mackie and concedes the throw...but Newcastle clear...and Mackie loses out to Enrique on the right...Eckersley gets down the right but his cross is blocked and cleared...better from Argyle.
    • 29' This is properly bad news for Plymouth...but Mackie gets free inside the box and shoots!!...saved by Harper to his right...good save.
    • 27' GOAL FLASH: Plymouth Argyle 0 Newcastle United 2
    • 27' GOAL FOR NEWCASTLE!!! Great goal from Wayne Routledge. Danny Guthrie back-heel in midfield to Joey Barton...Barton picks out the flying Routledge who goes around Stockdale before side-footing in. Wonderful finish.

    • 18' WHAT A CHANCE!!! Nolan puts Carroll away on the right. He gets into the box, cuts back onto his left foot then balloons a shot over and wide from 15 yards.
    • 17' More Plymouth possession but Wright-Phillips puts it out...Hall...Routledge...he scurries across the box but can't get Carroll in...
    • 14' Another long ball forward from Plymouth...and their get a throw on the left...playing keep ball now...Flecther is fouled about 40 yards out...free-kick...Judge to take...cleared...back to Judge but he loses out to, and fouls, Barton.
    • 13' Newcastle starting to get a grip...Barton forward...stopped by Damian Johnson...Newcastle get a throw on their right...
    • 12' Guthrie crosses from the right...cleared...Plymouth get the free-kick for a foul on Wright-Phillips.
    • 11' Barton sends a long, diagonal forward in the direction of Routledge but it drifts out.
    • 9' Newcastle are sluggish here. If Plymouth need a win then tonight is the time. Back with Harper...long ball forward through to Stockdale.
    • 7' Free-kick now to Newcastle in their half...early ball forward by Williamson...but Plymouth have it back. Hall slips under pressure from Mackie.
    • 5' Routledge down the right...back to Simpson...Barton..and it goes out. The pitch is awful. Seriously poor.
    • 4' And we've calmed down a bit...another goal-kick to Newcastle...Duguid down the line. Mackie can't reach it.

    • 2' N'Gala gets his head on the corner. Over. Should have done much better.
    • 1' Early ball into the United box...cleared...Damian Johnson down the right...into the box...crosses and Mackie shoots straight at Harper. Great chance.
    • - Right then, who wants it more?...Newcastle get us underway...
    • - Great buzz from the Argyle fans too. Plenty of "Green Arrny!" chants too.
    • - Home Park is bathed in sunshine so I imagine plenty of Toon Army followers will have their shirts off in no time. And remember this is a 16-hour-409-mile round trip for the fans. Wowzers.
    • - Plymouth: Stockdale, Eckersley, N'Gala, Reda Johnson, Bhasera, Duguid, Damien Johnson, Fletcher, Judge, Mackie, Wright-Phillips Subs: Larrieu, Clark, Arnason, Fallon, Barker, Joe Mason, Bolasie
    • - Newcastle: Harper, Simpson, Hall, Williamson, Jose Enrique, Routledge, Guthrie, Nolan, Smith, Barton, Carroll Subs: Krul, Lovenkrands, Ryan Taylor, Best, Pancrate, Ameobi, Kadar
    • - Referee: Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire)
    • - Team news to follow...
    • - On-loan defender "One size" Fitz Hall could return to the Newcastle squad for the Championship trip to Home Park. Hall, who joined on a short-term deal from QPR in January, has recovered from a hamstring injury and is on stand-by to take over from Fabricio Coloccini.
    • - Plymouth Argyle midfielder Luke Summerfield could come back into contention for the must-win home game against title-chasing Newcastle United. Winger Craig Noone (knee) is set to miss out in a match that will see Plymouth relegated to League One should they fail to record three points, while Newcastle need a point to seal the Championship title.
    • - Tonight's game at Home Park is far more important than pundits would have you believe. By the end of the match both sides could be facing futures in divisions other than the Championship. Check out the current table.
