Liverpool Reserves claimed their second point of the 2010-11 season as they came from behind twice
in an enthralling 2-2 draw with Newcastle United in the North East on Tuesday evening.
Philip Airey put Newcastle ahead on eight minutes when he converted a penalty after being tripped
inside the box by Chris Mavinga.
Love him, hate him, or you may just even be not bothered by him, but Shola Ameobi is no doubt a
player that divides opinions on Tyneside. On this day, ten years ago, Shola Ameobi was given his
first-team debut against Chelsea by Sir Bobby Robson. Ten years? It seems like yesterday! But given
the fact [.
Shola Ameobi celebrates 10 years of playing for Newcastle United this week. Shola Ameobi 10 years
on Tyneside Shola joined the Newcastle club as a 13 year-old back in 1995, but it was 10 years ago

Tyneside [.
Have you regained your breath? I haven't.
It was a classic. A classic that no Chelsea supporter will care to remember.
A header in the final minute of regular time from Shola Ameobi yes, Shola Ameobi expels Chelsea
from the Carling Cup, 4-3 at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool's poor start to the season continued as they were sent crashing out of
the
Carling Cup by League Two side
Northampton 4-2 on penalties

One remembers Shola Ameobi as a talented goalscorer before a series of injuries consigned him to
the wilderness before he came back last season with some big goals that helped gain promotion for
Newcastle. Well he is back and with a bang. Today, he scored two goals including a stoppage time
winner against Chelsea in their Carling Cup fixture.
Liverpool's poor start to the season continued as they were sent crashing out of the Carling Cup by
League Two side Northampton 4-2 on penalties in a night of shocks. Shola Ameobi's last-gasp winner
secured a surprise 4-3 win for Newcastle to send Chelsea crashing out as well. Nicolas Anelka's two
late goals looked to have been enough to force extra-time at Stamford Bridge, but Ameobi's glancing
header from Jonas Gutierrez's cross sealed an impressive win for the Magpies.
The FA Cup is constantly being referred to in some form of the superlative as the world's
greatest cup competition (the World Cup begs to differ), so you can understand if the Carling Cup
gets a little bit jealous now and again. This year that jealousy has turned to rage and it too
would like to run side-by-side alongside the FA Cup and the gliding unicorns; so at its altar it
offered three sizable sacrifices: Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Hughton has some selection decisions to make for tomorrow's game against Stoke, and we have to
believe a couple of the players who played at Chelsea will keep their starting positions for the
Stoke game. Chris Hughton two more goals please In our poll after the game, Shola Ameobi and young
Shane Ferguson were [.
Andy Carroll will come back into the side today against Stoke City, even though Shola Ameobi had
one of his best games ever for the Magpies on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge, where the Chelsea
defense just couldn't seem to contain the local lad. Andy Carroll - mmm And today Newcastle manager
Chris Hughton has [.
