Newcastle United vs Bolton Wanderers bank holiday match banter!

April 9th, 2012 | 52 Comments |

Good afternoon Geordies, and welcome to our match banter feature for todays game at St James’ Park against Bolton Wanderers.

As some of you will have noticed, no doubt, if we win this fixture it will be our fifth victory in a row in what is turning into an excellent finale to the season for the Magpies, with the club being in danger of qualifying for the Champions League if they aren’t careful!

The Trotters come into this game on the back of a 0-3 home defeat at the hands of Martin Jol’s Fulham, however their recent form hasn’t been bad at all. They won three of their previous four games before that lifting them from the relegation places in what has been a very poor season for the Lancashire club, not least with one of their players, Patrice Muamba almost dying on the field of play in what should have been one of the brighter moments of their season, an FA Cup quarter final appearence against Tottenham. But anyway, for all that kind of stuff, and much, much more, you can check out Jimbob’s superb match preview which should fill you in with everything you need to know in the run up to the game. We shall also be posting match highlights, a full match report and a links to a video of the whole game when it’s all over (hopefully). (more…)
