Barnsley ready to Tyke liberties?
Three victories on the trot, should have the lads in good confidence although Barnsley can’t be taken for granted with decent scalps in their last two games against Cardiff and Blackpool. And of course they were worthy of the point down at Oakwell, in the reserve fixture when we were ultimately happy with the 2-2 draw.
That was a special day out regardless of the result with 7,000 Mags taking over areas of Barnsley town centre, and enjoying a day out reminiscent of days gone by when we used swamp smaller towns with black and white hordes. As then, yours truly will be in attendance today, amongst a crowd expected to tip towards the 50,000 mark with the Tykes having sold out their 2,800 allocation. Today’s game will be preceded by a minute’s applause for the passing of Charlie Crowe last weekend.
There’s no national TV coverage and there have been no reports coming through that it can be caught via online channels, but if anyone can find TV/radio links etc to the game for people who don’t have it, I’m sure that would be appreciated. As ever, this can be the place to come together during the match and p*ss and moan, as we usually do.
Great team news this week, for more about that read toonsy’s most excellent preview article to consider what both teams have to pick from, what Barnsley’s current form has been like and other general bits and pieces regarding today’s game. As for the starting line-up, we’ll hopefully get that to you, all in good time…
Howay the lads!
Newcastle United: Harper, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Enrique, Pancrate, Guthrie, Nolan, Jonas, Carroll, Lovenkrands.
Subs: Hall, R Taylor, Best, Krul, Kadar, Ranger, Butt.
Barnsley: Steele, Foster, Dickinson, Doyle, Teixeira, Colace, Hallfredsson, Hassell, Gray, De Silva.

Steve Harper,
Danny Simpson, Fabricio Coloccini, Mike Williamson, Jose Enrique,
Fabrice Pancrate, Kevin Nolan (c), Danny Guthrie, Jonas Gutierrez,
Andy Carroll, Peter Lovenkrands
I like the team selection. Quite aggressive and Guthrie in the middle. I hope Pancrate does ok because he hasn’t convinced me yet when he was in the starting line-up.
batty
but i do know who it is
Good team line up. Let’s see if Pancrate can justify his signing and put in a performance.
A win today and mathematically we can’t be relegated
jay jay thats batty m8 honest as the day is long
toonsy you never look on the dark side like
If I say pancrate is sh1te he’s bound to score. Pancrate is sh1te.
toonsy ya tw@t lol
batty
not sure pancake he handle the “rough” stuff in ccc hope he proves me wrong as barnsley will dish out a bit today
no rough stuff today they play football they havnt got any1 who is big or plays that way!
Batty you ever see much of hitman
oh and I will admit a few times I thought you might have been Icedog
I think with Enrique back and Guthrie playing in the middle it’s going to be another big home win . I think 4-0 with Carroll carrying on his scoring run and getting his first hat trick
http://www.nufcradio.tk/
CH3 is the one you want.

Hope Smith only has a knock, anything to keep Butt out of the team!
Any news on Routledge?

QPR 2-0 West Brom
Come on QPR….!!
come on lets kin get a goal – chance to move 9 points clear here
Forest v Swansea is still 0-0.
Seems a bit flat at the minute.
Sounds like we’re playing sh1te as usual – still all we need is a goal
Whoa, i am very surprise to keep on hearing pancake names.
That sounded better.
up yours toonsy ya bendar
once we get the 1st goal we will move up a gear. I hope Jose is ok
Damn, Enrique injured again.
Not looking good for Enrique.
QPR 2-1 West Brom.

Barnsley down to 10 men.
Goal
Get In Loverman!!!
come on Loverboy 1-0
Loverman!
get in loven
thats us onwards and upwards from here. Toonsy are you feeling better now lad
Live league table looks very nice right now!
Vuckic could be back in action on Tuesday. Hopefully we can wrap up the title/promotion with a few games left so some of the kids can get a run out.
Here here 71, would be nice to see Ranger have a few more starts
Nice little bit of “I’m a geordie” and “Coming home Newcastle”
toonsy! i got a bad feeling about this ha ha! now u change your mind!
And a bit of “local hero”, love it.
asim – If it wasn’t for their goalie diving then I would have been right! Even at 1-0 it still isn’t over.
Somehow i am eager to see barton back….am i sick or what.geezzzzzz
Get in lads, 2-0. Loven again.
Lovenkrands score again. He is god. Nice cross from carroll too.
I could brag about how I said Lovenkrands was going to be the most important player this season before we even lost to Leyton Orient in pre-season but I won’t. I think you all know I am wise.
get in, 3-0. Guthrie.
3-0?
young Guthrie
Danny Guthrie.whoooooooooo~~~~ 3-0
get in ! i want 10
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Really looking unstoppable now….!!
I was gunning for 3-0 but now im going to be greedy 5-0
come on Jonas I want to see your spiderman mask today
Dave – are you kinky or something?
bring the young players on! the game is over and give them time dont bring butt on we will see what CH IS MADE OF.
Is Guthrie the creative midfielder we’ve been missing for quite some time?
Only 2 of us in top 7 teams winning, it’s gonna be a good night tonight!!
GET IN JONAS, GET IN. THE MASK IS OUT! THE MASK IS ON! HAHAH
Spidy, yeeeeees!

SPIIIIIDEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Spiderman mask………4-0
Ohhhh man we can’t see the Spidey mask …damn it…
Spidey! Oh, man I want to see that…
SPPPPPPPPIDERMAN!!
Bout fookin TIME !!
Toonsy I have wanted to see Jonas score more than any other player.
I’m just getting home and seeing the scoreline, I’m thrilled, but what happened to Enrique? Is he injured again?
Forget 5-0 I want 7, toon toon, black & white army
next 1 in line to score for me, will not be today is Smudger
Fantasic goal by a fantastic player
A home goal for Ranger today would be sweet
Looks like i am right,whenever peter Lovenkrands plays with carroll,only one will score.other will be trying hard.
get in QPR 3-1
QPR 3 up!
Spare a thought for their substitute goalkeeper. He’s came on and barely touched the ball bar picking it out of his net, 4 times thus far, haha
GET ON!
Yes!!!
Guthrie, 5.
5-0. guthrie.
right 70 mins take Carrol of for a rest and get Ranger on for 1 or 2
6-0. Nolan.
jeez – it’s a rout
get in 6-0
My god this is getting ugly….
6-0 Nolan. jesus. i am in heaven.
Come on, forget 7 I want 8, lol
Cool i think we can get 8 here haha
Best on. Come on mate, get your goal.
Great Screaming Jesus, it’s a flaming rout of burning, flaming, hot fire!
collocini getting the armband eh?
guthrie in the middle we score for fun! 10 i said that what we are going to get!
Best on wtf about Ranger ffs
Feel sorry for Barnsley. Barely any money when compared to us (even these days) and we still have a squad of Premiership players (even if reserve Premiership players) and we smash them. I don’t like seeing less well off teams getting hammered like this.
Cocky teams like West Brom who think they are big shots – love seeing them hammered, but honest teams like Barnsley I feel sorry for.
AAAAH. Lovenkrands so close to 7
How’s Pancrate playing today? Looking good enough for premier league sub???
Damn, clear penalty for Swansea waved away…
I said I had a bad feeling about this
wickywoowoo do you think they would feel for us if it was the other way round.
toonsy ye of little faith
Pancrate misses a great chance for 7.
Andreas
Are you watching that game?
If you are, could you say which team looks the most likely to score?
BBC website shows we’ve only had 5 shots on target…!
I feel for young Ranger I am sure he is sick as a Parrot
Surely Best can get on the scoresheet the day? It sounds like we score every time we go forward, if not we’re inches away.
Can anybody tell what happened to poor old Enrique?
West Brom has got a branded manager, thats why teams feels like a banana. But promotion 1st.
@alkinou
Watching the Forest game and listening to ours :=).
It has been an even game imo, chances for both sides. Forest is slightly on top in open play but Swansea have had some very nice chances and are good on the break. Can go either way, although I think it’ll end 0-0.
AAAAAAAH. ROTTEN. 6-1.
thats what i mean never plays young plays makes out he will and never brings them on when we have got the game in the bag! he will bring him on late on.
simpson you plonker
6-1. simpson mistake. Ouch. no clean sheet.
Was it Icedog that warned us about Bogdanovic? Damn!
cornish-magpie it was Icedog
FSOTC slight hamstringish strain I think
Was it his hamstring that had him out lately? Or is this a new thing?
Big Dave, 133,
No, but then we are the ones who brag about being giants and a super team, etc. They are just Barnsley.
Giant killers have no reason to feel sympathy because they get disrespected constantly in the first place.
Just saying – there are more deserving teams than Barnsley for this smashing.
Wireless said Simpson pulled his shirt over his head when the goal went in, so he knows he made a mistake like. Shame, definitly wanted to keep the clean sheet.
FSOTC I hope it was more of a precaution
kadar sounds like he’s had a solid game, hope he makes a good case for himself in the absence of jose
Forest-Swansea…1-0, 91st min…
Forest winning
wickywoowoo you are right there is more deserving teams but after last season I dont feel for anyone other than us mate. but I do feel a wee wee bit for them but there goal was a consulation for them
And the corner they scored from shouldn’t have been, clear offside that gained the corner…damn, a penalty gone for Swansea and now this.
However, still looks damn good after our win.
Hope so, Dave. We don’t seem to have a natural left back for cover there…
8 points clear of second with a game in hand.
Can’t complain with the day outside Jose getting the inevitable injury.
Well, I can’t remember having this feeling of pride since the Sir Bobby Robson days.
What an outstanding performance… and to all those doubters, who say, Fizzy pop league is cr@p and we’re still a poor premiership team… well YOUR ARE WRONG!!!
We are not just winning… we are thumping these teams as well as and top premier team would.
We have players playing for pride, working hard and playing with belief for the first time in a long long time! Not big names past their prime.
WE ARE A BETTER TEAM THAN LAST YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVE LOST THOSE BIG NAMES WITH BIG ATTITUDES…
I am more than willing to forgive Mike Ashley if we now continue our our same policy in this fashion.
With the only difference being, to use the extra finances to bring in even better young talent.
We have some genuine stars now who would fit into most premiership sides, and after a tough baptism, now understand our passion and pride.
In, Harper, Enrique, Collocini, Taylor, Guthrie, Routelege, Jonas Gutierrez, Nolan, Lovenkrans we have players more than capable of keeping us up…
… all we need do is increase the depth in talent in our squad and coaching and we’ll once again be a proper, English top flight team with no attitude and no mercenaries…
Then you add to that strong youth like Krul, Kadar, Carroll, Ranger, Vuckic, Lua Lua… we have some great youngsters pushing them on.
Once promoted
FANTASTIC!!!!!! So proud to be a South Africa Toon fan again. And what a way to go into the world cup with my team back in the Prem…
PS. Can Somebody please bring me the new Premierships kit in July
8-)
NEWCASTLE United Under-18s enjoyed a 4-1 victory at Barnsley on Saturday afternoon just hours before the clubs’ senior sides were due to meet at St.James’ Park.
Brad Inman (2), Phil Airey and Dan Taylor were on target for The Magpies.
Hmmmm~~~~~
anyone at the match hear what happened in the 78th minute? the “get out of our club” song started up in the leazers corner and all you could hear was people groaning, someone even behind me said “ahh shut up man”
then from the gallowgate everyone just starting shouting newcastle to drown it out……
what was the Scorpions song called, winds of change was it?
does any one have video high light…cause i am in the fuc**ken US and i cant get a freken chanale
IMO Ashley should bladder Lambias, and get someone in who can manage the press and get the respect of the fans….Once Lambias is gone then he’s the last of the Ashley numptys afer Wise, Jiminez, Kinnear…all gone…. Being top of the Fizzy Pop league as well all helps of course…It’ll be a while before Ashley can enjoy a pint in the toon without geting grief….but if or when we get promoted and he spends a bit cash in the close season then sentiment might turn his way…….and divvent forget, they don’t need to be 10 million quid signings…we had a few of those types of players last season and they didn’t help us much…
