Game on! Blackburn v Newcastle.

It's matchday again, and you can talk about it all here as Newcastle travel to Blackburn for a regulation 3pm, Saturday kick-off.

Nearly 5,000 Newcastle fans will be inside Ewood Park today, which is fantastic of course, but for those that are not fortunate enough to be there this afternoon you can do the next best thing which is, of course, talk about the match with us here on NUFCblog.info.

I very much doubt that we can expect anything as dramatic as last weekend's match against Arsenal, and to be honest that's a good thing as I don't think that my heart, head or sanity could take another game like that. A nice 1-0 win will do me just fine thank-you very much ;)

A quick look at the streams on MyP2P doesn't fill me with much hope of being able to catch the match, ut you never know and perhaps one of them could at least work. The quality of streams has been rubbish for a few weeks now though, which isn't good.

For those that haven't already done so, or for those who wish to do so again, you can check out my match preview and mull over some stats and facts as well as debating the likely team selection for either side by clicking here.

That's about it for the minute. Hopefully the boys in black and white can end the Blackburn curse and pick up another point, or three!

Howay the lads!
