One of our favorite young players at Newcastle is 21 year-old Danny Guthrie, whom we bought from Liverpool for peanuts in the summer, and he was having a very good first season before he injured his groin in January, and is only now coming back into the action.
Danny Guthrie – good acquisition for Newcastle this season
Danny is now fully fit and was withdrawn from the Reserves game last Monday with a knee injury, just as a precaution, and he is fit for today and should see some action during the game tonight.
Now Guthrie seems ready for the titanic battle which will take place at the Britannia Stadium and he told the Evening Chronicle:
“It will be a heck of a battle.” “Everyone knows what Stoke are about – they are strong at home, and they have a good support behind them.”
“We are going to be in for a battle, but it is a game we need to take something from.”
And of course for one so young, Danny Guthrie already has plenty of experience of relegation battles, after helping Bolton Wanderers stay up last season, alongside Kevin Nolan, when they pulled away in the last several games to safety.
Danny added:
“I was at Bolton in a similar position to where I am now at Newcastle.” “Every game seems like a final you have to win. It is not a nice position to be in, but it is what it is.”
“It is time for big players, and players like myself, to stand up and make ourselves count.”
Danny is right and it has to be captain Michael Owen and Nicky Butt as two players who have to stand up and be counted in the run-in. We know Habib Beye will do that, as he showed us last week when he turned in an excellent performance, out of position at center-back, and could well be used there by Alan, maybe for the rest of the season, to shore up the defense.
We expect Michael Owen to have been boosted by a man who he freely admits he looks up to, in the great Alan Shearer. Guthrie is hoping the former Liverpool and Real Madrid man can turn it on in the next seven games and get some goals for the team – and that’s certainly what we need.
Danny continued:
“Guys like Michael are putting the work in to drag us young lads through it.”
“You need guys like Nicky Butt and him to get us through.”
“I am sure they will be a big help.”
While there’s an awful lot now at stake for Alan Shearer, who has come in selflessly to try to save his home-town club, there’s also something at stake for Michael too, because if we can stay in the Premier league, then Alan can surely get the best out of Michael Owen.
We would expect Michael to sign a new contract at Newcastle if we stay up and Alan’s the new boss, and that will electrify the Newcastle fans.
If Shearer cannot get the best out of Owen now, then nobody else can – it’s as simple as that, and at least Michael looked good in the first half last week against Chelsea, and was always looking for the ball.
But goals is what we need from Michael today – goals and then more goals.
Comments welcome.

I would like to think the whole squad is fires up for this and every game!!!

‘fired’
3 Toon Graeme // Apr 11, 2009 at 12:36 PM
Saw Danny on Monday night and before he went off he was without a doubt on fire. attacked forward and backtracked and stuck on Petrov and benjani like a stink on sh*t.
You could see the passion in his face and I do hope he starts.
We need to be upfor it big style. No more excuses now or half ar$ed performances. All 11 need to step up and beat the Potters.
Dont forget we were spanking them 2 – 0 at one point I recall and then they drew with we.
HOWAY THE LADS!

He is a grade one clown

G 2 – Manure will spank the scum. Roanaldo will be rested for next weeks Champions league match. Tactical. Fergie cant afford to loose today.
14 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 1:43 PM
If we win we will stay up I think.
The more I think about it the more I’m convinced our defence will let us down again!
I’m cracking open the tinnies and getting pissed while I watch the ridiculously anti Toon Setanta(specially Mcmanaman)

Redknapp is even worse on Sky, hates Newcastle and is so so biased towards Liverpool
18 Toon Graeme // Apr 11, 2009 at 1:55 PM
I think they are all biased – Andy Gray – how he changed when Chelski starting beating the pool.
As for ITV’s football coverage – well sh*te. During the England match dribbling on about Peter Crouch’s football excellence and how he is a master tactition on the pitch and able to anticipate the game – utter spouted balls.
Strange how Jamie Redknapp hold the spuds is such high regard! I wonder why.
We need to proove them all wrong!
19 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 1:55 PM

28 ben-nufc // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:06 PM
boro winning wouldnt b tht bad as it wud drag hull closer 2 us
29 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Boro beating Hull 1-0!
This would be a good result for us as it brings Hull further into the Sh1t.
The only problm with it is that we would start against Stoke 2nd bottom.
What effect would that have on the team? Positive?
Dunno, but I think Hull are our biggest hope of staying up!
30 Toon Graeme // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Thats not the worst news. Its a long 90 mins – just makes our winning all the more important.
Dont get too disheartened lads.
Keep the faith.
31 Johno Toon // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:08 PM
boro are shite tho so they will concede , not worried about them
32 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Maybe a draw might be the best result

Nee botha! Mackems have got an even better Veetle stream than us though. It’s just like Sky on the TV.

I spoke to soon. BBC live text aint the best.
58 Fans Should Own The Club // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:24 PM
Do we want Hull to win outright? I don’t know what to hope for there, a Hull win or a draw.
59 Toon Graeme // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:26 PM
I would say Hull win – as if we win thats a four point cushion. Although that takes Hull further up the league. So whats the best?
60 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:26 PM
I think a draw would be best. If Boro win we are 2nd bottom when we kick off!
How would that effect the team? For that reason a draw!
Anyone remember Birmingham away last season? That turned our season around and I think today is going to be one of them games!
61 Toon Graeme // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:27 PM
Not that it bothers us but Wigan are one up on the ARSEnal.

71 Craigg // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:49 PM
I think its great Boro are winning with as it drags Hull closer to us and looking at Boros coming fixtures its just prolonging the agony for them.

“worky,
that veetle stream is quality dude!”
Most of the streamers were made in Chinese backrooms Sime, the Veetle one was made at Stanford University in California, one of the best computing universities in the world. The streams themselves seem to be either excellent, or even more excellent if the bandwidth is higher!
73 bakerman // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:53 PM
We got some major problems at the moment:
- Middlesbrough 2:1 Hull
- Porstmouth 1:0 West Brom
I would prefer that both Middlesbrough and Portsmouth lose today!!
Only good current scores are :
-Mackems 0:1 Man Utd
-Spuds 0:0 West Ham
74 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:56 PM
bakerman
Why would you prefer Boro to lose?
They are as good as down and Hull losing will bring another team down towards us which is best for us.
75 Johno Toon // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:57 PM
bakerman , pompy were never going to lose today, and the boro reslut would be a surprise but it keeps another team in trouble if they do win , we need to concentrate on the games we have win 4 and we will be safe

“worky do you have to have sopcast to watch veetle.”
Veetle is the player hitman, just like Sopcast. You need a small browser plugin, which is very easy to download and install from the veetle site.

The games are shown on the Veetle site too.
Happy viewing (I hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
77 bakerman // Apr 11, 2009 at 2:59 PM
As it stands, Boro are a point above us. I don’t mean to be panicking, but if the un-thinkable happens and we don’t get any points today, we’ll be sitting 2nd from bottom!!
78 G 2 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:02 PM
Disgusting comments pmsl
Stoke will score at least 2
79 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:03 PM
The facts are guys that it doesn’t really matter what happens in the other games if we don’t win!
They can all lose but if we lose also it doesn’t matter a jot!
We have to win end of!
80 Toon_Factor // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Im 90% sure we will loose
81 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:05 PM
Love the optimism!
I think if were 2nd bottom they players might just realise what sh1t were in and put a performance on!
Stoke can’t keep winning! Their not that good!
82 edburn // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:08 PM
It’s more the fact we are that bad, at least atm. I can see it ending in a draw – not what we need.
Get in WBA!
83 Toon_Factor // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:08 PM

85 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:10 PM
The Shearer effect has to take hold at some stage.
This could be another Birmingham away. We needed something from that game and we got a draw and went on from there.
Here’s hoping
The beer will numb the pain!
86 Craigg // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:11 PM
Stoke are poo, Ive been scratching my head all season how apparant top players can struggle so much against a long throw
I doubt Bassong and Beye will struggle so much but im really worried about Coloccini
Anyone agree we should start Edgar at left back to help on Stokes set pieces and delaps throw

Sorry Shearer but that is ridiculas.
Where is Martins?
154 RyanToon // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:48 PM
THAT TEAM IS WEAK
we need jonas and oba playing
155 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:49 PM
It looks like Alan wants battlers in for the game today.
It ain’t gonna be pretty.
I just hope that Ameobi puts in one of his decent performances!

Not sure I agree, Martins looks like he would rather be in Afghanistan than NUFC at the minute.
Boot time he got a kick up the arse!
160 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:52 PM
Don’t know where the width on the right is coming from

166 Fans Should Own The Club // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Middlesbrough 3, Hull 1!
167 Fans Should Own The Club // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:54 PM
Martins must be injured if he’s not on the bench, no?
168 Greg B // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:54 PM
could even go:
HARPER
BEYE-BASSONG-EDGAR
TAYLOR(R)-NOLAN-BUTT-GUTHRIE-DUFF
OWEN-AMEOBI
3-5-2 anyone?
169 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:57 PM

170 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:58 PM
Greg B
I heard a rumour abou that formation on Thurs?????
171 Toon_Factor // Apr 11, 2009 at 3:58 PM
Lose with that crap team
172 Stuart79 // Apr 11, 2009 at 4:02 PM
—————-Harper——————–
——– Beye— Edgar— Bassong——-
Taylor———————————— —–Duff
—-Guthrie–Butt–Nolan——-
————- Owen——-Ameobi———————–
173 bakerman // Apr 11, 2009 at 4:03 PM
3-5-2 seems right and makes the most sense Greg. It allows all 3 of our central midfielders to be on – and hopefully control the game from the engine room, perhaps with Nolan coming forward a bit.
174 edburn // Apr 11, 2009 at 4:07 PM
———Harper————–
Taylor-Bassong-Beye-Edgar
—Guthrie-Butt-Nolan——
———Owen—————-
—–Ameobi—-Duff———
I think.
175 Greg B // Apr 11, 2009 at 4:08 PM
Certainly hope so
20mins to go…
176 Greg B // Apr 11, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Looks like Taylor and Duff on the wings, Ameobi target man in middle, would explain why Jonas on bench, his crossing has bee a bit poor of late so its a real challenge for the wide lads to produce some quality balls into the box.
Would also allow Nolan, Guthrie and Butt to provide that killer through ball for Owen.
Butt to play as anchor man maybe and Nolan and Guthrie giving us a bit of bit in the middle.
Lets hope there are no lapses at the back and Butt concentrates on his passing, he gives the ball away today could well lead to a goal.
