Ciara, mornin' pet. Is there a webcast of the game? If you come across any good match links gizza shoot. I tip the preverbial glass of glogg in yer general like.

I would think there will be a webcast of this one from .cock and Metro. I'm stuck behind a firewall so can't hear it. :-(

Hopefully sports.com will do their usual text commentary. They can be annoying and slow, but it's better than nothing. And are we drinking this early in the day? Ah well, why not, beats working. 8-)

Now I'm pissed if the line up I've seen for tonights game is right. Robert, Lee and Shearer are playing - WHY? Robert, a hip injury Saturday also he didnt play very well. Lee, also slighly injured? Anyway, he's old and really need the rest between the games. Shearer has some achilles problems and could also need some rest. Ameobi and Lua Lua up front, Acuna or Bassedas in the middle and Quinn or someone on left midfield. This is the Worthington Cup - i dont wanna win that stupid cup if it will bring problems to our league games.

Is this the official match thread, then? Or does the Worthless cup not warrant one?

I assume this is the official thread...

I used to be trapped behing a firewall, but the nice thing about our failling economy is losing your job so you can spend matchday afternoons at home listening to the match :-)

I'll try to give updates, but I'm not very good at that

They've also gotten a little overexcited and called FT 4-0 at the 45min mark. Unless the match is being called on humanitarian grounds? ;-)

O'Brien is on for Elliott

Evening all, we're playing well and we might even get two wins on the trot! ;O)

Ciara, I thought O'Brien came on for Hughes who is suffering from a virus which ruled Bellamy out tonight.

-- Anonymous, November 27, 2001

I think he's on for Hughes, not Elliot

Sorry...that's what I got from sports.com who've now changed it to Hughes. This is the same site that said we were at FT at HT. Hope they've at least gotten the goal count right! :-)

Have things died down at SJP? Quiet on here and at sports.com. All they can come up with is that we haven't won a major trophy in 32yrs. Not sure what they're point is as we won't be winnning one tonight, either. ;-)

Any chance of us lot in the states seeing the goals?? Love to see luax2 come on soon.

Possibly BBC America's preview show on Friday afternoon/Saturday morning. They often show midweek goals, but not from all the matches.

-- Anonymous, November 27, 2001

Also if you get BBc World News tonight, they sometimes show some of the day's goals. Very inconsistent and usually tend to focus on London teams, but ya never know.

Well, I've got to go see my lawyer about a check for whcih i've been waiting over a year, so see you all later! Hopefully will log back in tonight and find out Big Al got his hat trick. :-D

BBC Radio Five Live - who have based their whole prog at SJP tonight - leave their live coverage of the match (which must also be on the web), to switch to a more competitive game, and Ipswich score! Expert Craig Brown is very impressed with the lads: "Newcassel are in total control."

Lots of comments about pitch being cut up.

A shearer hat trick would start me day off nicely .. howay man Alan ! Thanks for the reports tho , I wa beginning to think that since I left the lads to play without me watching they wouldnt win again . Are we in the last 8 after this ?
