Newcastle United vs Manchester United Live

The Magpies face the daunting task of hosting league leaders and new Carling Cup champs Manchester United at St James Park on Wednesday. They come off the back of a defeat to Bolton at the weekend and will require their extra days rest plus all their acumen to take anything here.
Manchester United needed penalties to claim the Cup against Tottenham at Wembley. They now look to return to the EPL and continue their winning ways which have seen them stretch their lead in the league table. Once the Red Devils catch up with their games in hand it is possible they can go 10 points clear a gap not likely to be breached.

Bolton v Newcastle United Highlights Video

Bolton 1 - 0 Newcastle United

Bolton manager Gary Megson’s sealed a new contract as his side aimed to win their third game in four outings. Visitors Newcastle United were still seeking points to ease their worries, so close to the relegation battle.
The first half was dominated by missed chances with Elmander the chief protagonist. Enrique cleared off the line after he waltzed through the Geordie defence but two further chances wasted were of his own doing, prodding the ball over from six yards and fluffing his lines when put clear by Kevin Davies. The visitors only started to make an impact as the half wore on, with Obefemi Martins producing a good stop from Jaaskelainen before heading wide from a later chance.

The second half continued mostly like the first until Ricardo Gardner came on and made the difference Megson had hoped, latching on to a Matt Taylor pass to hit a stunner into the top left-hand corner. Both teams had decent penalty appeals tuned down, Newcastle being perhaps the most aggrieved when Coloccini’s shot hit Jlloyd Samuel on the arm. However, Bolton held on for a deserved victory to ease their relegation worries but deepen those of the St James‘ Park team.

Strangely Newcastle are performing better without manager Joe Kinnear. Kinnear recently underwent heart surgery after taking ill. When the Magpies travel to face Bolton on Sunday they will be looking for a 4th game undefeated in the league - something unheard of in recent times.
5 points from 3 games has lifted United and given them a 5 point buffer from the drop zone. With teams around them struggling to collect any points fans will be hopeful if the team can continue on their current vein. Despite being reduced to 10 men last weekend Newcastle United hung on for a valuable point at Goodison Park last weekend.

Bolton impressed with a win against West Ham last weekend. The points lifted them to 12th in the league and they have the chance to rise into the top half of the table if they manage to take all 3 points this weekend. The home side will however be wary of the threat posed by a spirited Newcastle side.

Newcastle United vs Everton Highlights Video

Newcastle United 0 - 0 Everton

Everton travelled to St James Park hoping to continue their recent form. Newcastle United, with manager Joe Kinnear still on sick leave, were still looking behind them with the threat of relegation still not completely banished from Tyneside.

Dan Gosling provided the first real action with an effort that flew past the post. Unfortunately for Everton’s patched up squad, the next action saw Mikel Arteta carried from the field with a knee injury. Substitute Segundo Castillo, Joseph Yobo, Phil Jagielka and Gosling all had subsequent good chances to put the Toffees ahead before Peter Lovenkrands was handed the best chance of the game for the home side but, with only Tim Howards to beat, put his shot past the keepers right-hand upright.



The game effectively ended just before half time. Victor Anichebe was moving into the Newcastle half when Kevin Nolan challenged him, high and two-footed. Anichebe was lucky to not receive a serious injury and referee Lee Mason rightly gave Nolan a straight red card.

The second half proved similar to so many games of 10 v 11 with a resolute Newcastle defence refusing to yield to an Everton attack that promised much bit ultimately delivered very little. Neither side would be totally happy with the point but fitness appears to be higher on the list of concerns in both camps at present.

With Joe Kinnear undergoing surgery Newcastle United excelled and claimed all 3 points in a 3-2 win against West Brom last weekend. They now face a much tougher task of hosting Everton after results on Saturday pushed them further down the league table.

For their part Everton put 3 past Bolton Wanderers in their last league encounter and are hoping to challenge for a UEFA Cup spot by the end of the season.

A lot rides on this game and we could see the return of Obafemi Martins from injury aswell as Mark Viduka and Alan Smith.

60' Obafemi Martins Goal 1 - 0
82' Obafemi Martins

Obafemi Martins blasted Newcastle out of the Premier League's relegation zone as Joe Kinnear's battlers claimed a second successive victory.

The Nigeria international scored for the second time in six days to hand his side a win which lifted them to 14th place, ahead of arch-rivals Sunderland on goal difference nine days after derby defeat had left the club wallowing in self-pity.

Having not had back-to-back league successes since April, six points from the visits of midlands duo West Brom and Villa inside a week represents a major boost for a side which had not kept a clean sheet since August 23.

Dutchman van Persie - who endured an injury-plagued campaign last season - struck from the penalty spot after Charles N'Zogbia handled after 18 minutes, which was no more than the resurgent hosts deserved.

71' Michael Owen Goal

WITH THREE points from a possible three, Bolton Wanderers head to St James' Park on Saturday afternoon in an assertive frame of mind.

Manager Gary Megson spoke to the press on Thursday afternoon in the build-up to what promises to be an intriguing clash up in the North East against Kevin Keegan's Magpies.

24' Darren Fletcher Goal 1 - 1
Wayne Rooney will spearhead Manchester United's attack when the Barclays Premier League champions open their title defence against Newcastle at Old Trafford.

Rooney missed the last two weeks of pre-season with a virus but Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed the England man is fit and will partner Carlos Tevez in attack.

Keegan set sights much higher

Michael Owen was on the scoresheet again as Newcastle took a huge stride towards Barclays Premier League safety with a surprise 4-1 victory over Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

Kevin Keegan's men fell behind to Darren Bent's opener but goals from Nicky Butt and Geremi put the visitors ahead before Owen scored his third in as many games for his club.

Obafemi Martins added a fourth with eight minutes remaining, latching onto Joey Barton's pass and finishing calmly to seal the points.

Newcastle finally win under Keegan

Goals from Mark Viduka and Michael Owen ended Newcastle United's wretched run of 13 Premier League games without a win as they beat struggling Fulham 2-0 at St James' Park yesterday.

The result, Newcastle's first win in Kevin Keegan's second spell as their manager after nine games without a victory since the former England coach's return, eased the Magpies fears of being drawn into the relegation battle.

But defeat left Fulham second-bottom and facing a fight to maintain their top-flight status.

Sam hits back over Toon fitness jibes

Sam Allardyce has hit back at suggestions Newcastle were not fit enough during his eight-month spell in charge at St James' Park.

Winger Damien Duff last week was quoted as saying fitness had improved under Kevin Keegan but Allardyce has described the allegation as an excuse as the Magpies continue their descent into the Premier League relegation zone.

Allardyce said:
“There wasn't anything wrong with match fitness when I was there. That's a bit of an excuse. Sometimes fitness is a mental thing. The fear factor can drain an awful lot out of players so that may be the problem at the moment. There is also a lack of confidence and it can boil down to that, not a lack of match fitness.

The former Bolton boss has pinpointed the upcoming games against Birmingham and Fulham as vital to the Magpies' fortunes.

Allardyce continued:
“They have experienced and talented players but they must get a result pretty soon. They have Birmingham and Fulham in the next few games and they could be the big matches - the turning point for Kevin and the team.

Allardyce has also targeted a summer return to management, saying:
“I would like to come back, if I had my way, in the summer. But we'll have to wait and see what turns up.
