Game On! Newcastle v Arsenal
Game On at St James' Park Good morning one and all, and welcome to this 'Game On' article which will take us through every twist and turn of the visit of Arsenal today.
The Gunners will no doubt be smarting after watching Manchester City knock them off the top of the Premier League table yesterday and will want the spot they've occupied for the bulk of the season back in time for the turn of the year.
On the other hand Newcastle are in good form and have their own agenda to fulfil. A win today against Arsenal could potentially see us occupy a European spot as we head into 2014 so there is a dangling carrot for both sides in this one.
You can catch up with early team news along with a host of stats, facts and a history of the fixture by having a look at the match preview here. Real team news will be added in below as soon as I can get to it.
The game itself is being shown here in the UK on Sky Sports along with a whole host of overseas broadcasts so finding a stream should be straight forward today. However should you find a decent, reliable one then please share it by leaving the link in the 'comments' section below.
Which just about wraps this up. Today will be tough, real tough, but I'll bet Arsenal will be saying much the same thing. Will it be another notable success for our boys today? Or will we be put in our place?
Howay the lads!
