Although this was the last game of the season, with both Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion
safe for the season, one would have thought that the 'Baggies' would have had something to play
for, not least finishing above local rivals, Aston Villa, in the Premiership's final reckoning.
There was also the chance for West [.
Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew talks about yesterday's 3-3 draw with West Brom and then goes
on to explain a bit about the situation with new signings. Alan Pardew has been talking about our
unfortunate capitulation from a 3-0 lead yesterday and seems to think that players like Guthrie,
LuaLua and Best struggled after time [.
Match highlights. I shall endeavour to update these with longer and better ones when they are
available. Newcastle United: Tim Krul, Danny Simpson, Fabricio Coloccini, Steven Taylor, Jose
Enrique, Ryan Taylor, Joey Barton, Danny Guthrie, Shane Ferguson, Peter Lovenkrands, Shola Ameobi.
Subs: Ranger, Soderberg, LuaLua, Tavernier, Kuqi, Smith, Best.
With Newcastle ensuring safety for the season, but incapable of securing European competition, and
also with Manchester United finally securing the Premier League title yesterday, there should have
been something of a 'dead tubber' feel about this game. It was not to be though. It was Newcastle
Gutierrez and Ameobi who kicked off the game, [.
Match highlights. I shall endeavour to update these with longer and better ones when they are
available. With Newcastle ensuring safety for the season, but incapable of securing European
competition, and also with Manchester United finally securing the Premier League title yesterday,
there should have been something of a 'dead rubber' feel about this game.
Although Newcastle United were looking pretty safe with 41 points with three games to go, I think
it could be said that this was still an important match for the Magpies, not just in terms of
ensuring safety beyond all doubt with a win, but also in terms of morale. With some slightly
disappointing late [.
Match highlights. I shall endeavour to update these with longer and better ones when they are
available. Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew, his team's "character", "resilience",
"discipline" and team spirit. He also hails the performance of Birmingham 'keeper, Ben Foster for
keeping his side down to two goals.
Match highlights. I will endeavour to update these with longer and better ones when they are
available. Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew, regrets Newcastle's lack of "je ne sais quoi" in
the box, and feels that Barton's missed chance, and Liverpool's penalty were turning points in the
game. Liverpool mamager, Kenny Dalglish, felt that Newcastle [.
Match highlights of the game. I will endeavour to update these with longer ones when they are
available. Alan Pardew say that he is "satisfied" with a point under the circustances blaming
tiredness after the performance against Manchester United on Tuesday evening for a certain
"flatness" in the team.
Well what a great game which ever way you look at it! It was pretty much excitement from the kick
off. Newcastle had to start with Tim Krul replacing the injured Steve Harper in goal, but also
welcomed back Cheik Tiote from his two game suspension. Steven Ireland started on the bench and
Danny Guthrie [.
Match highlights of what was an very good game overall for a 0-0 draw. Newcastle United manager,
Alan Pardew, congratulates hais players on what he describes as an "outstanding" performance in the
opening thity minutes. Ackknowledging that Manchester United had the better of the second half
generally, he also congratulates his lads' for defending "superbly [.
As the teamsheets were read out and the players prepared for action, there was news that Shola
Ameobi would not be playing, not even on the bench. Subsequently it turned out that he had picked
up a knee injury on the morning of the game. It also became apparent that Alan Pardew would be
using [...]
Match highlights, such as they are. I will try to update with some longer ones when they become
available. Alan Pardew blames injuries, suspensions and Ashley Young for Newcastle's defeat. Aston
Villa manager, Gerard Houllier, seems well pleased with what he described as a "massive win" for
his under pressure Aston Villa side.
Highights of the game, with goals from Nolan, Ameobi, Lovenkrands and Gutierrez for Newcastle
United, and a consolation goal for Wolves' Sylvan Ebanks-Blake. Alan Pardew hails Newcastle
United's "great day", which will lift the pressure somewhat in the final games of the season. He
also singles out Joey Barton and Shola Ameobi for special praise [.
Highlights of the game, not that there were any for Newcastle United fans! Newcastle United
manager, Alan Pardew, protests that the team played "really well" in the first half, apart from the
mistakes which led to the first two goals. He also bemoans the referee's free kick decision that
led to the third goal amongst [.
Match highlights of the Magpies' 2-0 victory over Birmingham City yesterday evening, with goals by
Peter Lovenkrands and Leon Best. It was probably Jonas Gutierrez who put in the "Man of the Match"
performance however, providing two excellent assists for each of the goals. Speaking after the
game, manager, Alan Pardew, said of the team's [.
Speaking on this game, and the one that preceded it, Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew said
that the Arsenal game was one that he would "remember for the rest of his life". However on the
game with Blackburn he commented "This is one I can instantly forget." Perhaps he shouldn't though.
Besides being far more [.
A very exciting encounter for a 0-0 draw with Newcastle United dominating the game attack wise,
especially in the second half. Alas, the winning goal just didn't come but there were some exciting
moments on the way, with a particularly good performance from the usually excellent Jose Enrique. I
shall endeavour to update these with [.
Match highlights video of the game including no less than eight goals, including two penalties. A
perfect start by Arsenal with four straight goals in the first half. Then, a complete reversal of
fortune. Arsenal implode after Diaby is sent off after reacting furiously to an agricultural Joey
Barton tackle.
Highlights of the game, also featuring some rather funny amateur commentary. Goals from Coloccini
the Colossus and (unfortunately) mini assassin, Aaron Lennon. Alan Pardew talks deja vu after two
late equalisers in two games and about how his team got "carried away" going for the second goal.
He also enthuses about the quality of the [.
As Newcastle United got the game underway, accompanied by a chorus of boos from the bitter
residents of the more underdeveloped side of the North East, I have to admit that I had some slight
trepidation about this game. The Mackems were deperate for revenge after their comprehensive 5-1
humiliation at St James's Park, and [.
Brief highlights of the game. I will try to replace these with more extensive highlights if/when
they become available. Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew, salutes "discipline" of Newcastle
performance and how players "pulled their socks up" after loss of No. 9, Andy Carroll with a thigh
strain.
