Blackburn v Newcastle anyone? (Scores)

MrJoeSoap · 18-09-2005 12:53pm #1

Blackburn: Friedel, Neill, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Gresko, Savage, Mokoena, Reid, Pedersen, Bentley, Bellamy.
Subs: Emerton, Kuqi, Enckelman, Tugay, Jansen.

Newcastle: Given, Carr, Boumsong, Taylor, Babayaro, Faye, Bowyer, Clark, N'Zogbia, Shearer, Owen.
Subs: Elliott, Harper, Bramble, O'Brien, Brittain.

Bellamy to start against Souness, should be mighty interesting. Expect plenty of tough tackling and lots of indiscipline. Live on Prem Plus at 2pm.

Hope Bellamy goes off fairly quick injured and Kuqi comes on and scores a hatrick.

Feck all goals in my FF team this weekend

Blackburn are gonna need Morten Gamst Pedersen to unlock the Newcastle defence (although that shouldn't be too hard with Boumsong playing!

)

1-0, Big Al! G'wan my FF team!

Lemlin · 18-09-2005 2:23pm

Typical. Blackbvurn are all over them with nine shots on goal and Newcastle score their second. Can't watch the rest.

I just hope to feck Blackburn can score and at least level it up. The last thing I want is a win for Souness. Come on Rovers!

2-0, Owen. A towering header, no less...

MrJoeSoap · 18-09-2005 2:31pm

Taylor off for a second yellow, didn't go down like he was shot this time though. Not nice to see him go for pulling someone back, but if he was on a yellow he should have known not to do it.

[edit] Actually, seeing it again, theres no way it should even have been a yellow. Poor decision, but we're all used to them at this stage.

Lads that ref is a disaster. He's giving out the cards way too easily.

MrJoeSoap · 18-09-2005 2:42pm

7 of them already, 6 to Newcastle. He was probably expecting a much dirtier game and decided to dish out the cards to make up for not having too much to do.

Blackburn have had two good chances from corners since going behind, Tugay and the Georgian guy (I think?). Not even going to attempt to spell his name.

3-0, a great composed finish from N'Zogbia.

Shots:
Blackburn 15
Newcastle 3

lol!

Necronomicon · 18-09-2005 2:55pm

What a finish from N'Zogbia!

Lemlin · 18-09-2005 2:57pm

Gutted is the only word to describe how I feel

As pointed out above, Blackburn 15 shots on target, Newcastle 3!

This will give Souness a reprieve for a while but, in fairness, Newcastle are going to have to beat alot tougher opposition than Blackburn if he's to keep his job.

For once the shot statistics didnt tell the whole story. The first half was poor, very scrappy and even. Newcastle took their chances but Blackburn didn't really have any clear cut chances.

Necronomicon · 18-09-2005 3:10pm

The opener came really against the run of play, but when it went in, Newcastle looked a different team entirely. I think Blackburn got a bit of confidence back when Taylor was sent off, and put them under a spell of pressure (and had a few very near chances, like the volley from Tugay). But poor defending let N'Zogbia in at the end, and then Blackburn were finished.
Fair play to Newcastle, they did the job with a lot of absentees.

Lemlin · 18-09-2005 4:33pm

Havent seen the game yet so can't comment. Its very hard to take losing 3-0 though. Especially when its to Souness.

Still, Newcastle have spent more in one season than we have in the last 5 or 6. In fact, they've spent more on Owen than we've spent in about the last 3 seasons.
