Fulham-Toon [R] - Tuesday match

[CrewToon]

Match is this afternoon (evening in the UK).

[Trackman20]

Give me some pre-game predictions friends!

Newcastle 3
Fulham 1


I think Shearer will have a goal, I think Ameobi will have a goal, and I think one of our defenders is going to sneak in for a goal.

[Trackman20]

There is some type of delay going on at Fulham....the Newcastle World guys said something to the effect of a security breach/issue. 30 minutes is the determined delay at the moment.

[Trackman20]

Starting 11 for the Boys in Black

Given
Hughes
Bernard
o'brien
Bramble
Jenas
Speed
Bowyer
Robert
Shearer
Ameobi

Bench

Harper
Ambrose
Lua-Lua
CALDWELL
Viana

They gave an injury update on Dyer but I missed the extent of the conversation...and of course Bellamy will be out for a little while just having had Knee surgery last night.

[Trackman20]

the game has been put off for another 20 minutes because of this security threat...Apparently there is a suspicious car parked near the stadium and they have closed off all transportation in the area investigating.

[Trackman20]

Game is finally underway....thank goodness nothing happened!

[Trackman20]

Wow..we are about 2 minutes in and Magpies are down 2-0 already!!!!

WHAT GIVES!!!!!!!

Clark in the 5th minute

Saha in the 7th minute

[Trackman20]

NEWCASTLE GOAL!!!!!!!

LAURENT ROBERT SET UP BY ALAN SHEARER!!!


NEWCASTLE 1
FULHAM 2

[Trackman20]

Not a lot happening with 7 minutes left in the half. Bowyer is getting a lot of touches that is about as much as I'm gathering from the audio.

[Trackman20]

Goal Shearerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

penalty kick.....shola was fouled in the box

Newcastle 2
Fulham 2

[Fat Dutchman]

Trackman, what service are you listening to the audio through??

[Trackman20]

ALAN SHEAREERRRR!!!!!!!

SHEARER! SHEARER! SHEARER! SHEARER! SHEARER!

NEWCASTLE 3
FULHAM 2

[Trackman20]

The lads are really impressive in this second half..they are controlling the tempo of the game with domination of posession.

I pay for the Newcastle world package....gives me live audio of everygame.

[Trackman20]

Its a final

Newcastle 3
Fulham 2

(Robert, Shearer, Shearer)


WE ARE NOW IN THE TOP HALF OF THE TABLE......"THE SLEEPING GIANT HAS AWAKENED...WATCH OUT ENGLAND"

[Fat Dutchman]

What a great performance from Big Al...I'm glad we managed to hang on for all 3 points. It makes me burst into song, "Same old Shearer, Always scoring" hehe.

[CrewToon]

damn! another stunning performance.

Not only did Robert come through, but three goals came from Geordies. :D

Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years! (LL Cool J for those who don't know.) Shearer is the man! Thanks for the udpates, Trackman20.

No worries mate.....what else would a college boy be doing on a tuesday afternoon....attending classes? I THINK NOT! haha....Its a glorious time to be on the Magpie Wagon...as I feel things are looking sky high for the fellows!

The only bad news to report is Bellamy being gone until February, but I have to admit, other than Bellamy's performance against NAC Breda (1st Leg) he hasn't been too effective for us. On the other hand you have a young fellow in Shola Ameobi who is going to get the opportunity of a lifetime by stepping on the field just about everynight for the next four months to show his worth to the club. He has been affective the past two matches and I look for his confidence to only go higher. This Bellamy incident could have a VERY THICK candy coat to it! Shearer will be out in two seasons....We will be left with a duo of Craig Bellamy and Shola Ameobi (assuming we don't spend big bucks on someone else).....and call me crazy...but I have EXTREME confidence in Ameobi becoming quite the player for the Magpies! I'm excited about our future gentlemen!

Once we start beating sides like Fulham 3-0, then I'll be feeling sky-high, but until that time, I won't be that excited just yet.

Well you have more confidence than I do in Shola. He's had quite a few chances to show his potential and only in the last few matches against lower EPL teams has he shown much. I know there's been a lot of hype over him, but we'll see if he can perform consistently. Shola has been touted as a really exciting prospect up front and really, he has failed to deliver.

I don't mean to sound negative about our situation overall, but we still have some things to work out.
