Tuesday, May 4th, 2010A tidy Lovernkrands goal was enough to see off QPR on a rainy dull Sunday at Loftus Road. The win signalled the end of an awesome season which has seen Newcastle get their act together.

Newcastle v Nottingham Forest – Crunch Time!
Monday, March 29th, 2010Tonight’s match against Nottingham Forest will possibly be the game which seals Premiership promotion for us. Already the pressure is on and I’m certainly looking forward to tonight’s fixture.
