Ok, it seems that we beat Newcastle United tonight 2-1 in a league match, crazy crazy times. It was a great night with Bloomfield Road rocking with the South Stand looking great. Newcastle didn’t play brilliantly tonight be looked a lot better than when they beat Cardiff on Sunday.

We were all over them in the first half with numerous shot on target, Harper didn’t seem to be able to handle most of them well so wasn’t as surprise that he didn’t hold the Charlie Adams shot which Brett turned in.

Second half we did well to get the second goal and stand up to pressure from the Toon. We really should have grabbed a third on the counter. It was also good to see Alex Baptiste back in the team and also David Vaughan. We look balanced with Vaughan who plays the ball quick keeping attacks going.

Man of the Match had to go to Newcastle born and Newcastle fan Keith Southern who was awesome.

Wow the toon are in town tonight for what should be a great game. After a dissapointing result at Leicester this weekend it would be great to bounce back against the league’s big boys.

I watched the Newcastle Cardiff match on Sunday, they did ok but only created a couple of chances the one being the winning goal.

The great news ahead of tonight is no Alan Smith who was great playing in the middle of the park. He picked up two yellow cards for late tackles. Nicky Butt should replace him.

Up the pool!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently but it’s great to get back to the blog but most importantly to league football with a trip to Leicester tomorrow. It’s almost 2 years and a month since the opening day of the season in the Championship when we beat Leicester thanks to a scrappy goal from Keith Southern. It’s amazing to think how far we came from when I started watching Pool to that opening day win at the Walkers.

Looking on now it’s again amazing progress from 2 years ago. Our team that day was;

Rachubka ,Barker ,Jackson ,Evatt ,Crainey ,Taylor-Fletcher (Jorgensen ,69 ) ,Southern ,Fox ,Hoolahan (Hills ,81 ) ,Parker ,Morrell

Only five of those players remain at the club, we now have a Welsh international at right back, one of the most promising young center halfs in the division, an Scottish international with Champions league experience, a Welsh international, a player with over 250 top flight appearances and an Algerian international!

Bloody hell we’ve even almost got three sides to the ground!

Make sure you make some noise for the boys tomorrow.
