Match Preview/Stats/Thread: Newcastle Utd v Swansea City
By Tyne-Talk
November 28 2009
Newcastle United host a strong Swansea City side today at St James' Park, with both teams in form. Chris Hughton has guided Newcastle to top of the table whilst Swansea are in 4th place. Newcastle have won their last 4 and lost 2 of their last 6 games, whilst Paulo Sousa's side have won 4, drawn 2 and not lost a game in their last 11, the division's longest unbeaten sequence.
Chris Hughton faces an anxious wait to see whether Andy Carroll (illness), Danny Simpson (thigh) and Ryan Taylor (calf) are fit to play, whilst Shola Ameobi is yet to resume full fitness despite a week of training.
Zurab Khizanishvili is available after serving a 3 match suspension.
Swansea are without Stephen Dobbie (ankle), and Mark Gower (hamstring), whilst captain Garry Monk is a doubt as he continues to struggle with a calf injury.
Emergency loan signing David Cotterill is expected to feature from the bench after moving from Sheffield United earlier in the week.
Fact: This is the first league meeting between these two sides in 26 years.
Fact: The next goal Newcastle United concede will be their 6000th in their league history.

West Brom are also 3-0 up
Nevermind West Brom, 2nd Place at the end of the year is still auto promotion. I'm more concerned with Leicester who is 1-0 up right now. If they draw, we'll have an 8 point clearance over the playoffs.
Better come out firing again in the second half, stop sitting on it. Just not gonna happen today.

3 good headers and a great run and cross from Jonas. I wish he'd do that more often.
I wish they'd show our matches more often here OTL, we don't get to see many.
Never mind we'll see a lot more next year when we are back in the Premiership.

I saw the three goals on Sky this morning before I went to work. It cheered me up for the day.

I'm a huge Micro-brew fan and when you hear about a 65 proof ale, it's hard not to want it. Screw Utopia's $150 retail price (of which all 30 bottles alloted to Texas are sold). 30 pounds for Penguin is worth it, even if the shipping is costing as much as the bottle.

Be prepared to drop $50 on shipping though.
