I really hope they do well in defence tonight as thats their weakness, Not heading it to the box, but clearing it!! With shearer scoring goals, Even though their game vs blackburn wasn't what i hoped it too be :'( Shearer is still in there sticking the ball in the net :)
Shay Given is not doing the best hes ever had either, maybe he tries too hard or something. That goal vs Blackburn when it just basically slipped out of his hands was kinda of painful site to see... and also the goal he passed it to hughes on the far left that was marked i think it was in the chelsea match. It got out of had for Newcastle and Chelsea got a simple goal.
Good Luck Newcastle :D

Ture about harper, otherwise is there to much pressure on Shay? He seems to be doing unavarge for his great skill that he can do. Anyway. I hope that we learnt the mistakes that we came arross Dynamo Kiev and counter it i think it was the formation that we did vs them wasn't that great at all. Is it me or Lua Lua this season is doing great but with Bellamy missing alot of chances he has have had, I finding that Lua Lua with shearer is a great pair and should be tried out again. The dream of getting through the Group stages is distance but also if do, Then the some of our (I think we have some) Money problem could be solved a little more. :) Newcastle all the way!
But i was surspied they put Shay given back on, I think they should let harper go back on. The Magpies today did great!!
Newcastle's problem is their defence and it has been for 2-3 seasons now. They have limited funds due to Dalgliesh and Gullit who managed to take Newcastle to a rock bottom low. Signing Bramble hasn't made much of an impact to the Newcastle defence although it gives them rotation if Dabizas isn't performing (too many of there performances). I am a big fan of O'Brien and I believe he brings strength in depth to a defence which needs someone experienced. Its not a case of Newcastle trying harder its more of a case of finding a defender to partner O'Brien and as of yet I am unsure about Bramble.
Going forward I believe that Newcastle play some of the most exciting football in Europe. Its nice to see Robert getting his first goal today as I believe this will kick start his season after poor performances in quite a few games this season. Does anyone have Newcaslte World from NUFC.co.uk? Its very good and you can download the Newcastle radio station and listen to every single game of the season where ever they play.
As for the comment about Newcastle never beating Juventus, that is a very childish and immature comment. Newcastle deserved more in Italy and the result didn't represent their performance, Shearer had a goal dis allowed for Dyer's offside even though he wasn't interfearing with play.
Anyway I am just off to listen to the after match report :)
> Newcastle have no chance against Juventus
That's what I was thinking, but they won 1-0.
Just hope that they win there last 2 games and hope Juventus beat Kiev, for Newcastle to qualify.
