- 36' Nice flick from Barry into Shorey's path but his dink into the area is straight to Harper.
- 35' Middlesbrough need to beat West Ham United away and hope Hull and Newcastle lose. Even then they would need a big swing to overhaul Hull on goal difference. The Teessiders are losing at Upton Park.

- 21' Good work from Harper who comes off his line and does just enough to prevent Gareth Barry reaching a cross from the left. He takes a clout for his troubles.
- 20' Harper claims the resulting corner.
- 19' Milner's shot is blocked but falls to Craig Gardner whose rasping 25-yard drive is tipped over by Steve Harper.
- 18' Young is doubled up in some pain after a collision with David Edgar.
- 17' Defeat today at Villa Park would see Newcastle drop into the Championship for the first time in 16 years.
- 16' A 20-yard shot from Kevin Nolan is very wayward.
- 15' No goals at the bottom of the table in the opening 15 minutes.
- 14' Milner, who started the season as a Newcastle player, has a shot blocked by Coloccini.
- 13' Into the feet of Mark Viduka and a great flick through to Martins who volleys over from 16 yards. Another decent chance for the Magpies.

- 5' The free-kick is pulled back to Milner but his delivery is wasteful.
- 4' Coloccini brings down James Milner on the right flank. A nervy start from the Argentine.

- 2' A long punt downfield immediately puts Fabricio Coloccini into trouble but Gabriel Agbonlahor is harshly penalised for a push.
- 1' Chris Foy gets the game underway!
- - Here come the teams.

sad to see such a great club with great stadium and support gone down but alan shearer hopefully won't have any problem bringing them back to the premiership were they belong from a man.utd supporter
????
SOMEONE SAID THE NORTHEAST IS A HOTBED OF FOOTBALL I PREFER TO SAY MIDIOCRACY.. PREMIER LEAGUE IS FOR N.U - MASSIVE CLUB - EVERTON FAN
SOMEONE SAID THE NORTHEAST IS A HOTBED OF FOOTBALL I PREFER TO SAY MIDIOCRACY.. PREMIER LEAGUE IS FOR N.U - MASSIVE CLUB - EVERTON FAN
amanda, at last a Newcastle fan that admits they are rubbish instead of blaming the whole world and his dog. I have been slagging off your team for this reason. Just for you lady i hope they bounce back.
..AS AN EVERTON FAN WITH THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR ALAN SHEARER I WISH BOTH FANS AND ALL CONNECTED A SPEEDY RETURN TO THE PREMIERSHIP.. I HAVE FAMILY WHO LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST (SEAHOUSES) AND I KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD SORT.. ALL THE BEST NEWCASTLE
I have been a Newcastle fan all my life, and will continue to support them ( though I dont know why). They have played absolute rubbish all season, and can have no complaints. The sooner Owen goes the better, let some one else pay his exorbitant wages for zero results. Good luck to Hull city, and well done for staying up, the first season is always the hardest. Also, good luck to Man Utd for Wednesday, I hope they play well and I predict a 2-0 win. Life in the championship will be no picnic, and I think Newcastle will take a good few years to achieve promotion, at the moment they have to many free loaders an board who just think they have to turn up!! Looking forward to next season BRING IT ON!!!
I can't see Newcastle getting back up right away. Even *if* they sell the club to someone who will give the club monney, appoint the right manager, and get actual good signings (All needed, none will happen).They are still going to be the number one trophy team for championship sides next season. Every team is going to raise their game against them. Especially when you consider that they will have more media coverage than any championship side has ever had. And as Newcastle have shown time and again, they wither under the spotlight. Back to back relegation, I'm putting my money on it. Newcastle didnt fight to stay in the division. Most of their fans deserve better. I feel sorry for them
Those Villa fans who are old enough to remember when we went own feel for you Newcastle.
Cry your tears now, and come back fighting next season and have a year when you win more games than you lose/draw and come back full of confidence and hopefully with a chairman as good as ours.
Think your man Ashley has got to sell to someone who understands the Newcastle mentality.
PROOF-owen is useless...HAHAHA
feel sorry for the fans but that team of yours is a disgrace to football
WOW what a bunch of idiots on here.
You talk about newcastle fans thinking they should ot think they should win the premiership or anything ?!?
Doesnt everyfan of every club not expect there team to win cups etc ?!? just because we think we should win doesnt mean we are gonna , its just fans being fans ?!?
Newcastle people are kind our place may not be as big as other cities but it has more open space for frowing the food you eat and we have constant fresh water ?!?
The only scum out there are the people on here calling others scum .
I am a newcastle fan and i think newcastle got what they deserved we have went down hill since 1996.
I think we may get back up next year if we sort out the @#$% that is going on.
To all idots posting stupid stuff and insults go back to your inbred families and smoke you dope... to the people in the real world who know that football is just a game stay strong ans support your teams well.
atkeast we had 16 good years in topflight football which cant be said for most of the teams in the premiership now.
Football is no longer football any more too many stupid rules too much money.
BAD LUCK NEWCASTLE UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB,,..FOR SURE THE PREMIER LEAGUE WILL BE POORER WITHOUT YOU...THOSE BLACK AND WHITE STRIPES WILL BE MISSED.......aLL THE BEST FOR A GREAT SEASON IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP,,....
+as for the quick return,won't happen,tiny clubs don't have the players,the ones newcastle have got will jump ship (except for owen who gets paid for doing bugger all) and they will struggle to sign anyone who can kick a ball
TOON = FAILURES
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa SSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM TTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, seems Newcastle ain't so big afterall. hahahahahahahahahaha
