29th April Newcastle 2 Coventry, report by Rik
I knew I wouldn't be the only one that wasn't going today, but had expected a few more of the lads on the Newcastle United playing staff to attend. Large Duncan had informed Mr Robson that he wouldn't be fit until the last game of the season. Marcelino and Charvet had returned to their respective countries to recuperate after their hectic season in the treatment room and Nolberto Solano had hurt his ankle playing in the copa America a few days ago ...yeah yeah, my excuse was better if you ask me. So ... with Steve Howey being the only genuine new addition to the sick room, Newcastle put out the following side.
Alesandro Pistone was given a heroes welcome by the toon army and the players after his miraculous recovery in a mere 83 days from his broken leg incurred during the battle of Le Stade de shite in February. To his credit he has got himself fit and put himself in the shop window for the last few games Robson was heard not saying.
Still it's better (I think) than listening to the official sites webcast. Indeed the first few minutes were rather exciting and after the first five minutes I was begriming to regret the fact that I had turned down Free Tickets ( thanks for the offer Allen) to spend some time with my kids and get my work sorted out.
Our
New South American, Diego Gavilan was causing them all kinds of
problems and like the week before we were nearly a goal up in the
first minute when Gavilan crossed to Shearer only for him to shoot
wide. This was followed not long after by another fine cross from Just before the ten minute mark Gavilan was again involved in Newcastle move for an opening goal , this time he interplayed with Dyer forcing Richard Shaw to head the ball narrowly over his own goal. On the left flank Didier Domi was wanting to get in on the action but his shot just before the 15 minute mark went wide.
Up stepped Shearer and calmly hammered the ball past Sweden's number one , who incidentally has a really bonny wife (see picture)
It
was Shearer's 29th Goal of the season and his 299th career goal to
date. Were Newcastle to get their first 3 points of the season or
would Coventry like most of our recent opponents spoil the day? Six
minutes later the game was sewn up when Shearer sent Ketsbaia , who

Being just a part time fan, I made the excuse that I had too much
work to catch up on this week, and couldn't attend the mouth watering
fixture of Newcastle United versus Coventry City. In reality after
trips to Wembley and two consecutive home games in the last few weeks
it wasn't just Wor lass that was complaining but wor bank manager too
that had persuaded me not to attend the clash of the "lower half
relegation free but no chance of a European place contenders".
I
was treated to Live ??? commentary by the two Micks on Metro FM.
God, How I wish they would employ Jonathan Pearce. Talk about being
dull .... Kenny Dalglish has more life in him than Metro's dour duo.
Gavilan
to Shearer. This time Shearer's header was saved by Magnus Headroom,
the Swede with the absolutely stunning wife. (see picture).
At
this point i started to fall into a semi conscious state. No I
wasn't pissed I just started to get a bit bored with the two Micks on
Metro FM and missed the bulk of the match. It wasn't until the 77th
minute of the game that I regained full consciousness with the words
"Newcastle have got a penalty". Apparently Dabizas had got
himself into the box, fumbled the ball towards the unfortunate
Richard Shaw, who was adjudged to have handled the Ball.
sneaked
on midway through the game (No I wasn't asleep) towards the goal.
Usually the bald headed one puts his head down and speeds off like an
exocet missile towards the opponents net, only for his final shot to
be launched into orbit rather than strike the target. On this
occasion though our old cult hero, decided to pass the ball sideways,
into the path of Newcastle's new Cult hero in waiting. "The
Spuggy" as the new Paraguayan will be known took his chance
superbly and hammered the ball past Magnus Headroom (who incid...no
it dosen't matter ).The game ended with the premierships first
Paraguayan getting his first ever goal, after just two starts for his
club and 35,000 geordies went home for once with a smile on their faces.
