    Time:90'
    • Sheffield United
    • Newcastle United
    • 95' FULL TIME. Sheffield United 0-1 Newcastle. Take a bow Steve Harper.
    • 93' WHAT A SAVE! Steve Harper take a bow. That was immense. Henderson's free header five yards out, Harper is going the wrong way but he sticks out a left arm to make the save...
    • 92' MASSIVE SAVE! What a chance for Treacy! With plenty of time at the back post, he chests down and volleys goalwards but Harper uses his legs to protect Newcastle's lead...
    • 90' Five minutes of added time to survive for Newcastle. Will we have drama?...
    • 88' No chances are coming for The Blades, Newcastle appear to be seeing this one out comfortably...
    • 85' Gutierrez replaced by Marlon Harewood. Now here's a player...Harewood... he's like a poor man's Caleb Folan...
    • 83' Good take Harper, who claims a fine catch under pressure...
    • 80' Big decision as Gutierrez steals the ball in a good position but the ref blows for a foul...
    • 77' Ranger replaces Simpson...
    • 76' Henri Camara on for Ched Evans. This will be interesting, the Senegalese is capable of brilliance...
    • 75' SAVE! Ched Evans drills a low free kick towards goal but Harper's too good for that...
    • 74' MASSIVE CHANCE! If only Henderson was a natural goalscorer! Give credit to Harper for a point blank save but Henderson really should score as Kilgallon's low cross finds it way to the striker just five yards from goal...
    • 73' GREAT BLOCK! Nicky Butt stops a piledriver of a free kick causing real problems in the Newcastle box...
    • 71' Stewart replaces Cotterill. I've seen this Cotterill score some corkers...
    • 70' HALF CHANCE! Once again Stewart arrives at the back post, and this time his header drops for Treacy, but the midfielder wants too long as the Newcastle defences closes out the danger...
    • 67' It's all a little quiet at Bramall Lane right now. You just don't look at the United front two and think "goals"...
    • 63' Penalty shout against Taylor for handball, would have been harsh...
    • 62' CHANCE! This fella Treacy is delivering some beauts from out wide (makes you wonder how Keith Andrews got in the team ahead of him at Blackburn), but Jordan Stewart's header is over...
    • 60' France on for the injured Walker...
    • 59' Great header from Kadar prevents Henderson stealing in at the back post after Treacy's excellent inswinging cross...
    • 56' CHANCE! Another huge long ball forward finds Carroll behind the United defence but he volleys wide. Tough chance...
    • 53' GOAL! Sheffield United 0-1 Newcastle! Kyle Walker gets caught in possession, Taylor lines up a 25-yarder and finds the hugest of deflections to send the ball into the far corner...
    • 52' HIT THE POST! A raking diagonal ball finds Andy Carroll, he generates all the power himself but the ball rebounds off the left upright. So close!...
    • 51' SUPER SAVE! Enrique does superbly to break into the Sheffield United box, Nolan takes the ball off his left back and curls a beauty towards the far corner, only to see Bennett tip it behind...
    • 49' Good start to the second period as both sides set a high tempo - no chances yet though...
    • 46' Back underway, a battle awaits...
    • - Tough abuse "Gerald", are you happy with the quality levels in this first half? I'd like to see international footballers like Smith, Butt and Gutierrez get the ball down a bit more...
    • 48' HALF TIME. 0-0. Awful quality. The only intrigue rests on which team will get a player sent off first. Stand by to find out...
    • 47' MASSIVE CHANCE! Henderson wins a flick on from Bennett's goal kick, Evans beats Coloccini to the ball but drags his shot wide of the far post. Premier League strikers score those...
    • 44' SHOT! Treacy nutmegs Butt inadvertently and then shoots directly at Harper from 25 yards...
    • 42' Booking for Ryan Taylor, who snoozes and then looses the ball to Walker before hacking him down. Harsh booking, but deserved for his poor play in the first place...
    • 41' A SHOT! We haven't had one of those for a while. Ryan Taylor takes a direct free kick, it's a fair distance over but in relation to this match it was close...
    • 38' Booking for Carroll, stupid foul on Davies. That's about as ridiculous as he's looked since he had corn rows...
    • 36' Don't be surprised to see a penalty or a red card in this match. We've got elbows from Morgan and Carroll, rakes down the ankle from Coloccini... something will crack...
    • 33' We need an injection of quality here...
    • 30' Newcastle are far too happy to lump it long to Carroll at the moment, although Morgan has just picked up a booking...
    • 27' CLOSE! Carroll beats Morgan to a near post corner but he's under pressure and can only send his header over...Good battle between those two...
    • 25' Awful decision. Carroll wins a superb header against Morgan, yet the ref blows for a foul...
    • 23' CHANCE! It's for Newcastle, who manage to get Nolan in some space inside the area, he lays the ball off and the resulting cross sets up Taylor for the volley, but the ball finds its way directly into Bennett's arms...
    • 22' It's more or less attack against the defence at the moment as Alan Smith and Nicky Butt work overtime in midfield...
    • 19' Dodgy! Harper comes for a raking diagonal ball but completely misses it as Henderson makes his presence felt...
    • 18' HALF-CHANCE! There's not much marking going on in that Newcastle area as yet another cross finds a red-and-white shirt, but Stephen Quinn is the man this time to fire over...
    • 17' United still look the more likely as Carrol races clean through on goal, only to find himself at least 25 yards offside...
    • 14' CHANCE! Lovely football by The Blades sees Stewart cross from the left, Henderson lays the ball off for Treacy but the former Blackburn man leans back and volleys over. Good football...
    • 13' Unsurprisingly, Newcastle are finding it extremely difficult to locate the lone striker Carroll...
    • 12' Brilliant, Harper gives away a blatant free kick and then gives the ref all sorts of abuse for blowing his whistle. I can't for the life of me understand what defence Harper thought he had!...
    • 9' I'd say this is a worrying start for Newcastle, The Blades look sharper all over the park as they line up a free kick...
    • 7' BIG CHANCE! Nolan leads the breakaway, he feeds Taylor who crosses for Carroll, but twice the Geordie striker is foiled by Kyle Walker. Really good defending...
    • 5' Kadar, for no apparent reason, attempts to dribble out of the Newcastle defence and he gets extremely lucky that the loose ball doesn't fall to Treacy...
    • 3' MASSIVE MISS! Darius Henderson that's poor! Ched Evans feeds his partner in behind the defence, it's on his left foot but he drives the ball wide of the far post. Really should have scored...
    • 2' First moment of danger for Newcastle as The Blades swing a vicious free kick into the box, but it's well cleared by Danny Simpson...
    • 1' We are underway. 22 players, one ball, a handful of decent players, several other bad ones, and 90 minutes of drama ahead of us...
    • - "Paul.Greeno" goes for a 4-0 Newcastle win. I'll go 3-1 to the Toon...
    • - Phil Brown's just been spotted amongst the Newcastle money men, I know Hughton's got a new contract but they wouldn't be thinking of making him number two to Brown would they?
    • - The teams are about to emerge from the tunnel, "Sam" claims Newcastle bottle the big games. He's got a point, will they do so tonight?...Hedge your bets and give us your predictions now...
    • - Undeniably two massive clubs tonight, but do either of them have managers who are worthy of their roles? No doubt they work every hour they can, but do they have the pedigree?
    • - Disappointed Ameobi isn't playing, that guy makes Carlton Palmer look co-ordinated...
    • - Controversial comments from "The Blade", I'm not even sure Cheryl Cole has any talent does she? Other than the obvious...
    • - The teams are in, and there's good news for Sheffield United in the shape of fit-again figures Jordan Stewart and Andrew Davies...
    • - Sheffield United: Bennett, Morgan, Kilgallon, Henderson, Evans, Harper, Stewart, Davies, Treacy, Quinn, Walker. Subs: France, Reid, Cotterill, Williamson, Bunn, Little, Camara.
    • - Newcastle: Harper, Coloccini, Enrique, Nolan, Simpson, R. Taylor, Smith, Gutierrez, Butt, Carroll, Kadar. Subs: Guthrie, Harewood, Geremi, Krul, Ranger, Tozer, Donaldson.
    • - Difficult to know if this is a bigger game for Newcastle or Sheffield United. The Magpies can move top, but The Blades desperately need to stop a three-game losing streak...
    • - Big question for Newcastle fans...if St James' Park is to be renamed, what would you call it?
    • - Team news imminent...
    • - Good evening and welcome to arguably the biggest game on Monday, Sheffield United vs Newcastle United!

    • 93' WHAT A SAVE! Steve Harper take a bow. That was immense. Henderson's free header five yards out, Harper is going the wrong way but he sticks out a left arm to make the save...
