Game On! Tottenham v Newcastle

Welcome one and all to our rather fabulous 'Game On' article which this evening will take us through every twist and turn of what is set to be a tough encounter.

Today we visit White Hart Lane to do battle with Harry Redknapp's Tottenham Hotspur outfit but, unlike in previous years, there is actually something riding on this game.

Tottenham sit in third in the table and are looking to catch up Manchester United in second, whist we sit fifth currently - enough for Europe - and will be looking to consolidate that position. It won't be easy of course, but at long last we have a team capable of springing a surprise result away at one of the "top" teams, in much the same way we did at Old Trafford earlier on in the season.

Anyway, there has been enough said about the match by others and I don't have to go on about how tough it is going to be again. If you do wish to look at some more background information ahead of the match then why not check out Shamrock's most excellent match preview or NUFC_stats' Tottenham v Newcastle stat-attack by clicking here. They are both worth a few minutes of your time.

In terms of the match itself, it is being shown live in ESPN which is great if you can't get to the match and fancy sitting in a pub or in front of the box with a few Saturday evening beverages. It's also being broadcast on a lot of overseas channels so the chances of a stream should be pretty good, which is great if you fancy sitting in front of the computer with a few Saturday evening beverages... Once again, if you do stumble upon a decent stream then please feel free to share it with your fellow Magpies.

That is just about it for now and it's up to the boys on the pitch to do the talking. Will they avoid some White Hart pain at White Hart Lane?

Howay the lads!
