    I always like to read what other fanszines have to say before and after games and the most honest one I saw was the Arsenal one.

    Reading this for Bolton, I could help but laugh out loud:

    He obviously hasn't watched us at all this season and focuses on results from month ago and hasn't picked up on the fact we are un beaten at hom in 2011 and they have a ****e away record. Biased to the extreme is an understatement.

    Best thing is for the team to make this pratt eat his words.

    With Tiote signing the players should be bouyed up.

    Bolton are a good team and I would be happy with a draw, but now I want a win.

    Their website wont load for me, so it's obviously not that great if it can't cope with the increased traffic from toon fans!

    Did the kid in the picture write this?

    As he says "lack of research". They may be able to get one over Jigsaw Ameobi as he's likely to be at home on his sofa but doubt they'll cope against Best and Lovenkrands.

    After the Clattenburg debacle at Spurs I commented that the next three games would be key to our season’s success. Well, with the two FA Cup games nicely slotted in the win column we travel to the North East to face what is, for me, one of the season’s strangest teams. A win here puts us on 39 points, all but secures survival for another year and sets us up for a run at single digit finish in the league.

    There is no doubt that there is a buzz around all things BWFC at the moment – fans and players alike seem to feel that we have broken the bad spell and things are looking good again. When I look at this fixture I think that’s winnable, very winnable so I decided to take a wander into the wonderful world of statistics to see if my optimism had any foundation.

    The Toon sit one place and one point below us and a win moves them above us in the table. According to Pardew, this is a 'pivotal' game which will propel them to Europe this year. Is he deluded? Quite possibly.

    Their form this season is erratic to say the least – four home wins with an aggregate of 19-2 (yes that’s nineteen) with losses to the likes of Blackburn, Stoke and Blackpool. The Stoke loss coming after an amazing 4-3 away win at Chelsea. A 3-1 loss at West Brom sandwiched between a home draw against Chelsea and a win against Liverpool. As I say, a very strange team indeed.

    No Newcastle preview would be complete without a word about Captain Fantastic. With 10 goals this season it’s hard to argue that he has not had an influence. Newcastle have lost only once when he has scored and he has netted in every home win this season, most notably with a hat-trick against the Mackems. Interestingly, he has only managed to scuff one over the line since Andy Carroll's absence in the lineup. For me, he poses a greater challenge to the weighing scales than he does in midfield. Five of his goals have come in games where teams have rolled over at the Sports Direct and that's not going to happen on Saturday.

    Our Owen seems to have a team for the league and one for the Cup. Despite calls to play Klasnic and Bogdan we’ll not see any drastic changes to the league side. The back four picks itself and we are likely see a return of the million pound midfield partnership of Mark Davies and Holden with SKD and Sturridge up top. Pick any two from Elmander, Lee, Petrov and Taylor and you’ve got the eleven.

    So can we beat them? It feels a bit strange to say this after consecutive away wins in the Cup in a matter of days, but our away form in the league has been woeful, notching just two wins all season and losing the last six. There is no doubt we are back on the up and, depending on which Geordie team shows up, we have a very good chance. We are stronger in the middle of the park, and I fancy Kev and Danny have the edge over Best and Jigsaw Ameobi in the goal scoring stakes. Players to watch for are Enrique and Tiote, though the latter is on nine yellows so may have to tread lightly.

    Which leads me to my final stat - discipline. My old man thinks Newcastle are the most indisciplined side in the league but at 16th in the card table they are only one below us. They have 57 yellows and one red against our 47 yellows and four reds. Lack of research prevents me from naming the ref, but I am sensing a feisty battle, with plenty of bookings and one big fat git sent off red.

    Predictions: Fat Frank will have a sweat on after climbing to his seat in the nose bleed section and will have to remove his shirt. The only disappointment you’ll see on his face will be when he realises that his is not the largest bare midriff on display.

    We'll score all four, in a 3-1 Whites win.

    Here we go people <ok>

    Total lack of reasearch Only game we have lost in the league this year is awat to Fulham and have the best way record, which more than can be said for them!!!

    We've draw Chelsea, Spurs & Arsenal at home which I'd hardly say they rolled over.

    It's biased obviously and the scoreline seems a little high but seriously, it's not that deluded. We were torn apart at there place and they play quick attacking football. Yes, we're unbeaten in 2011 but if we play like we did in the first half against Arsenal we could well be beaten comfortably. Our last two away games have filled some of us with false hope I think; Blackburn are, in my eyes, a very poor side and Birmingham were also poor on the day. I'd like to think we could win easily but frankly I think we could as likely get turned over by Bolton again.

    I think that we will win 2-1 with Elamander and Sturridge getting so ****ed off with each other they recreate the Bowyer/Dyer handbags from a couple of years ago.

    No Tiote and Barton that day, some of the stuff wrote was just pathetic, and shows what a nasty horrible little club they are. I mean Kevin Davies is the dirtiest player in the league and the biggest cheat, who seems very quick to come out and have a go at us, on Goals on Sunday after the game at the Reebok.
