    Time:90'
    • Bolton Wanderers
    • Newcastle United
    • 90+5 Final whistle, Bolton hang on for a vital win!
    • 90+4 Newcastle are piling everyone forward and there are bodies everywhere as Taylor and Lovenkrands fly in but Bolton survive!
    • 90+3 Smolarek is down after getting a crack on the jon, Newcastle think he's faking it but he did get a whack on his somewhat chiseled jaw.
    • 90+2 Ryan Taylor is booked for a foul on Gardner...
    • 90+1 Jonas shows pointless dissent by hurling the ball into the ground after conceding a throw, almost gets away with it but carries on being a tool and gets booked for his troubles.
    • 90' Ball into the Bolton box and Ryan Taylor slips but gets it across to Lovenkrands who's free but he puts it wide! Should have got it on target.
    • 89' Smolarek - who came on for Elmander 10 minutes ago - is booked.
    • 87' Good pressing from Viduka on Jaaskelainen forces the Finn to put the ball over for a corner. Newcastle waste it though.
    • 83' Matty Taylor goes down the other end and sends a low drive straight at Harper.
    • 82' Good keeping from Jaaskelainen to claim a dangerous high ball under pressure from Ameobi.
    • 78' NEWCASTLE SUB: Speak of the devil and he arrives. Viduka comes on but there are cries of "you don't know what you're doing" as it is Martins who is replaced.
    • 76' The corner is swung far post and Bolton don't deal with it, Taylor is free on the left but his cross is headed away! Lovenkrands on the ball but his cross is blocked, Newcastle come again though and Jonas on the left crosses, it's cleared but it drops to Lovenkrands again, he can't get the shot away AND COLOCCINI WITH THE SHOT AND THAT'S HANDBALL FROM SAMUEL BUT PLAY ON!! If that is not a handball in the box I am Mark Viduka's gut.
    • 75' Ameobi runs on to the ball on the left, he takes a touch outside O'Brien and drills in a low shot that Jaaskelainen tips behind for a corner!
    • 68' Newcastle are labouring at the moment, lacking creativity and urgency while Bolton are actually playing the better football.
    • 66' NEWCASTLE SUB: Bad news for Toon - Butt can't continue and comes off for Geremi.
    • 64' Martins tries a shot from the edge of the box but easy for Jaaskelainen.
    • 61' Taylor whips the free-kick past the wall but well, well wide.
    • 60' Jonas is brought down on the edge of the box by Mark Davies, a very good position for Ryan Taylor...
    • 57' Butt limps off for Newcastle, they will need him back as have huge injury problems.
    • 55' Butt has picked up a knock and needs treatment...
    • 51' Long ball into the Toon box, Coloccini doesn't deal with it and Gardner can finish but it's blocked, Davies is in there, and it drops to Gardner again but he mis-hits it wide!
    • 50' Davies goes wide to Gardner, who drills in a low cross but Newcastle get it clear.
    • 48' Newcastle come forward, winning a free-kick... it's half-cleared and drops to Taylor but his volley flies well over.
    • 47' Davies gets on to a long ball down the right, he plays it into Matty Taylor on the overlap, he plays it diagonally into the box AND GARDNER SLIDES IN TO CLIP THE FINISH OVER HARPER INTO THE TOP LEFT FOR 1-0! His first touch of the game!
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 46' BOLTON SUB: Muamba comes off for wide-man Gardner.
    • 45+1 Half-time, goalless at the Reebok.
    • 45' Elmander is in and he must score but he slips as he finishes and puts it well wide! Another good chance for Bolton and the Swede again messes it up.
    • 43' Elmander with a little kick out after he's fouled but no booking.
    • 41' Newcastle attack after Muamba gives the ball away, they have men over and Jonas plays it into Ameobi who shrugs off one challenge and shoots but it's blocked and spins to Jonas back on the left, great skill to beat his man and he sends a brilliant far-post cross AND MARTINS WITH THE HEADER but he gets it all wrong and sends it over!
    • 39' Cahill is on the left wing and wins a corner by chasing down a long ball to Harper.
    • 37' Both players are booked for that set to.
    • 36' Matty Taylor and Nicky Butt have gone head to head for some reason and they're not calming down so the ref pulls them to one side...
    • 34' The second corner is cleared but it falls to Jose Enrique, he spreads it wide to Taylor again who puts in a near-post cross that is headed behind for another corner.
    • 33' Corner to Newcastle on the left, Ryan Taylor to take... he swings it into the six-yard box AND MARTINS HEADS IT DOWN BUT PALMED AWAY BY JAASKELAINEN!!
    • 31' Lovenkrands on the ball, he drives through the heart of Bolton's defence and leaves them trailing in his wake but he insists on using his left to try and finish when his right would have suited the chance better - straight at Jaaskelainen.
    • 29' Matty Taylor gets in space on the left but he has no support and his shot is straight at Harper.
    • 27' Ryan Taylor swings the corner over for Steven Taylor but it's headed clear. Lovenkrands now hooks it back in the box but the flag is up for offside.
    • 26' The ball drops to Butt on the edge of the box but his low shot is deflected wide for a corner...
    • 23' Muamba goes on a driving run, beating three men but then overdoing it, still with Bolton but McCann's pass out wide is too heavy.
    • 20' Free-kick to Newcastle on the right which Taylor swings over and AMEOBI HEADS IT ON TO THE POST but the flag is up, he moved to soon.
    • 19' Bolton surge forward down the right, Kevin Davies plays it into Mark Davies, who drills a great low ball TO ELMANDER WHO MUST SCORE BUT HE PUTS IT OVER THE BAR FROM 8 YARDS! Bad miss, should have been 1-0 Bolton.
    • 17' Surely Taylor will have a crack from here but no, Mark Davies clips it into the box and Newcastle clear. Poor decision.
    • 17' Newcastle fail to clear the ball after a throw and Bolton come again, good play from Muamba who is caught late by Butt and Bolton have a free-kick around 28 yards out.
    • 16' Ironic cheers from the Bolton fans as Samuel wins a free-kick on the left...
    • 14' McCann tries a shot from the edge of the box but it's blocked.
    • 12' Davies goes down in the box while trying to win a header, Bassong was all over him but nothing given! That was surely a penalty.
    • 10' Elmander flicks the ball on, Taylor knocks it into the box and Bassong misses it and Elmander is in but the angle is tight and he improvises with a sweet finish beyond Harper and it's trickling in but Jose Enrique gets across to hack it off the line!
    • 8' Samuel on a run forward, he's in the box but can't set up Davies and Toon clear. Matty Taylor has it now, he wins a throw... played by Muamba to Matty Taylor, who gets past the other Taylor (Steven, not Ryan), but the cross is intercepted. All these Taylors! Make it stop!
    • 5' Long from Jaaskelainen towards the Toon box, Davies with the flick on but just beyond Elmander and back with Harper.
    • 4' Davies on the right does well to hold off Jose Enrique but his cross is too deep.
    • 2' Jonas wins a free-kick on the right but it's cleared by Bolton.
    • 1' Match underway!
    • - NEWCASTLE TEAM NEWS: Kevin Nolan's horror-tackle on Victor Anichebe last week means he is banned against his former club and, with an injury list longer than Jonas Gutierrez's hair, Ryan Taylor is having to play in central midfield.
    • - BOLTON TEAM NEWS: There are no regular starters out injured so Johan Elmander leads the line as a lone striker, with support from Matty Taylor and Mark Davies.

    From robbieisfineshedyahoooo, on Sun 1 Mar 11:16PM

  3. Two things here - one, the injury list at Newcastle is­ huge, probably the worst in the premiership, but hey­ why let the facts get in the way of a good story?­ Secondly, there was also a blatant handball in the­ Bolton penalty area which should have not only resulted­ in a penalty but probably a dismissal, so let's get­ some perspective, eh? Idiots the lot of you

    From koshmar2005, on Sun 1 Mar 6:09PM

  4. Oh listen to the great and mighty spouting on about­ nowt as usual. With fans like you lot, who needs­ enemies? Why don't you go back to what you used to­ do on a saturday, going shopping with the wife or­ shoplifting with your spazzy mates? Either get behind­ the team or naff off

    From Scot, on Sun 1 Mar 3:11PM

  8. more @#$% from newcastle, why do we only start playing­ in the last 5 minutes, do they not realise its a bit­ too late! And why do the two retards on the touchline­ (calderwood and hughton) think that ameobi and viduka­ are a strikeforce that will get you a goal when you­ need it. Does anyone at that club have a mind? I very­ much doubt it!

    From nathang32, on Sun 1 Mar 3:06PM

  9. Newcastle in the Championship League next year unless­ they don't buck up.
