Tooning in to TV matches.

There are only seven games of this season left and, thankfully, it looks as though Newcastle United have done enough to earn another crack at this Premier League malarkey next season.

The good news is that out of those seven games, four of them are on the TV, which is great news for those who are unable to get to the games live and means that they can be a part of the action and don't have to put up with dodgy internet streams. Incidentally, those who do have to put up with dodgy internet streams still should have a boost as the streams are generally of a higher quality when a match is on live TV. Apparently. So I've been told.

So just to keep you up to speed, these are the four matches in question:

10-04-2011 Aston Villa v Newcastle - 4pm KO.
19-04-2011 Newcastle v Man Utd - 7:45pm KO.
01-05-2011 Liverpool v Newcastle - 12pm KO.
15-05-2011 Chelsea v Newcastle - 1:30pm KO.

I don't expect us to get much out of those fixtures if I'm being honest, although I would love to get at least one result out of them.

Is it a good omen though? Do the Toon always shine on TV? Well, lets have a look by taking a peek at what the results have been when our Premier League games gave been on TV this term

Man Utd 3-0 Newcastle.
Newcastle 6-0 Aston Villa.
Newcastle 1-2 Stoke.
Man City 2-1 Newcastle.
West Ham 1-2 Newcastle.
Newcastle 5-1 5under1and.
Arsenal 0-1 Newcastle.
Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea.
Newcastle 3-1 Liverpool.
Wigan 0-1 Newcastle.
Fulham 1-0 Newcastle.

That's 11 games so far, six wins, four defeats and one draw. Not too shabby.

Of course it means little in terms of any potential result in the next four televised games, but it's always nice to look back as we've had some cracking results beamed around the world already this year.

So clear your diaries!
