Match Number 18

2 February 1997, Leicester at SJP, 4-3. Alan Shearer's finest 15 minutes in a Toon shirt. What can't be said about this one? 1-0 ahead courtesy of Robbie Elliott at half time, and then 6 mad goals in the second half. Matt Elliott scored against us on his debut, Claridge and Heskey each added one to make it look a bit dodgy with 13 mins to go. Shearer suddenly went mad and scored a magnificent hattrick including the hardest strike of a free kick ever seen (in the back of the net before Keller even saw it) and a last second cut-back across the face of goal by Rob Lee for Al to tap in from 6 inches (this thanks to time added on due to Lennon wasting time). Truly awesome.

Points Hislop 3 Watson 2 Elliott 7 Albert 2 Peacock 2 Batty 1 (booked) Lee 1 (booked) Gillespie 2 Ginola 1 (sub) Asprilla 2 Clark 1 (sub) Shearer 10 (3 goals + 2 Magpie points) Ferdinand 2

Batty will now serve a 1 match ban (he will score nothing when he's next selected) for his third yellow of the season.

My lads are good at "playing away" (cue link to te affairs thread)

Now then Softie, I believe most, if not all, of the Racers wins have been away games.... not sure if I like the proposal for home advantage :)

Lost 4:1, and Shearer still scored a hatrick for us?!? Shame the rest of the team didn't turn up. The bright start to the season is slipping away.

I was just screaming at the linesman how the ref had cost me my ***** job when all of a sudden we knock in 5 away from home and end our miserable run of three defeats on the trot! Will be in to see the chairman tomorrow about a #50k+ a week pay deal.
