Game On! QPR v Newcastle
Game On at Loftus Road The message as we head into our penultimate game of the season is really quite simple - win at Loftus Road and we eliminate ourselves from the possibility of being relegated.
We can the head into the final game of the season - at home to Arsenal - without any real pressure knowing that we have Premier League football to look forward to next season.
A win at QPR, with their squad of expensive signings who will no doubt be looking for a way out of the club in the next few weeks, should be simple. Already resigned to relegation, and with the poorest home record in the league, they have nothing to play for other than pride whilst we have everything still on the line. However our away record this season suggests that we won't win this game although I am of course waiting to be pleasantly surprised.
For some more background on the match, along with injury news, a look at the history of the fixture between the two clubs, some facts and stats for both sides and some random thinking at the end, why not head over and read my match preview which is online here.
The game itself is not being shown live on the TV here in the UK. However there are a number of overseas TV channels who have chosen to broadcast the match so catching a stream shouldn't be too much of an issue. Hopefully. If you happen to find a good stream then please feel free to share it with your fellow Newcastle fans by leaving a link in the 'comments' section below.
Team news will be provided by myself today before I head off to work and miss the match, which is probably a good omen for us to be fair. I will endeavour to add the teamsheet in full at the bottom of this article.
Now is the time to deliver.
Howay the lads!
