Newcastle Boss Demands Final Showdown

Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson is looking for another three points when The Magpies' visit relegated West Brom.

Having already secured third place in the Barclaycard Premiership and a place in the Champions League, all that remains is for Newcastle to match last seasons ponits total of 71.

Robson said: "I've said to the players, the season is not over. We'll have a travelling support who will pay money to see us play, to acknowledge what we've done, and we have to pay respect to that.

"We're playing for pride. They will - they lost 6-0 in their last home match. Do you think they want to lose 6-0 again? No way, so it will be a difficult match for us.

"If you remember last year, we had this wonderful season and we went down to Southampton and had seven players thinking about World Cup football and we played pretty poorly in the second-half and lost 3-1."

Obviously it will not be easy, if you look at the "West Brom Team News" story below, with so many players missing, but it will be a good day out for all - hopefully capped with a win.
