Magpies' promotion back to the Premier League

5 April, 2010 - AndrewMag29 | 0 Comments

Newcastle 2 Sheffield United 1

No points were needed to secure our return to the Premier League but that didn't stop Chris Hughton and his side giving the promotion party a winning start by beating Sheffield United on Monday evening.

United came from behind, thanks to goals from Peter Lovenkrands and Kevin Nolan at a packed St. James' Park to maintain the unbeaten home run this season.

Nottingham Forest's failure to beat Cardiff in the teatime kick-off meant that we were already assured of regaining our Premier League status and Sheffield's opener from a corner looked to have dampened the party atmosphere.

However, some mindless defending from Chris Morgan gifted us a penalty that Lovenkrands gratefully converted on the stroke of half-time and from that moment on there only looked to be one winner.

Jonas Gutierrez almost capped a scintillating run with a goal but his shot was turned onto the post but minutes later Danny Simpson's high ball back into the box was nodded back to Nolan by Lovenkrands and our captain thumped home a spectacular scissor-kick beyond Steve Simonsen to win the game.

Danny Guthrie should have made it three after Jose Enrique had slotted him in but Simonsen saved well and Shola Ameobi, Joey Barton and Ryan Taylor all came on near the end to join the celebrations as an emotional Hughton joined his player in the centre circle.

Enjoy your evening, folks. These nights don't come around very often....

Peterborough United 2 Newcastle 3

3 April, 2010 - AndrewMag29 | 0 Comments

Only mathematics keeps us from celebrating our return to the Premier League after Nottingham Forest's draw at Ashton Gate left us a point short from certainty.

United did the job at Peterborough thanks to goals from Kevin Nolan, Joey Barton and Shola Ameobi and although we looked far from convincing, the win was still a comfortable one.

Chris Hughton's major midfield reshuffle looked to have backfired as Nolan, Barton, Fabrice Pancrate and Alan Smith struggled to find any fluency and the home side took advantage by taking an 11th minute lead.

Steve Harper and Fabricio Coloccini got in a mess with a hopeful through ball and Harper's weak clearance was returned over his head by Dominic Green to give Posh the lead.

It could have been two minutes later but Sergio Torres lobbed the ball high and wide when he was bearing down on Harper.

United's equaliser was simple enough, Nolan converting a cross after Jose Enrique had made his way down the left and pulled the ball back for Nolan to find the net.

Wayne Routledge replaced the poor Pancrate at the break and Shola Ameobi, partnering Leon Best, up front won a free-kick which Barton neatly chipped over the wall and past Joe Lewis.

The third was Ameobi's with a speculative shot from outside the box that Lewis should have saved but could only fumble into his own net and at 3-1 the game was won.

Peterborough managed a second through Liam Dickinson but apart from a couple of late headers that flew over Harper's bar, Newcastle looked more likely to grab a fourth.

Promotion could already be secured before we take to the field on Monday against Sheffield United but make no mistake, we're back in the big league at the first attempt.

Full match report to follow.

Team: Harper, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Jose Enrique, Barton (Gutierrez 87), Smith, Nolan, Pancrate (Routledge 46), Best, Ameobi (Butt 83).
Subs n/u: Krul, Lovenkrands, Ryan Taylor, Kadar.

Booked: Best, Gutierrez.

Goals: Nolan 45, Barton 48, Ameobi 59.

Peterborough: Lewis, Gilbert, Zakuani, Geohaghon, Griffiths, Torres (Simpson 46), Lee (Bennett 55), Frecklington, Rowe, Dickinson, Green (Mackail-Smith 46).
Subs n/u: McKeown, Day, Mills, Reid.

Booked: Zakuani.

Goals: Green 11, Dickinson 76.

Crowd: 12,877. Biggest of the season at London Road by 166 and 2,500 more than the turnout for League Cup game in September.

Referee: Mark Haywood (W Yorkshire
