All To Play For
Newcastle United 1-1 Barcelona (UEFA Champions League Round of 16) It was the wife’s birthday over the weekend so no matches for me, luckily the wait is worth it as I was always pencilled in for this biggy between Newcastle and Barcelona in the Champions League. It’s my first UCL game of the season, I usually get a couple each year through UEFA but have had to bide my time as others in my position have been sent to the likes of Anfield and the Etihad whilst I’ve often got G

Brackley Town 1-1 FC Halifax Town (National League) I've got the thermals on for a Wednesday night in West Northamptonshire to watch yet another National League game. The Saints of Brackley Town have been doing ok under the interim charge of centre half Gareth Dean, previous manager Gavin Cowan recently left to take the job at Shrewsbury Town at the end of last month, on a limited budget Cowan over-achieved with this small part time squad of players, having won the National

Nights To Remember
Newcastle United 4-1 Paris Saint-Germain (UEFA Champions League Group Stages) I’m straight from the game at Gateshead to St James’ Park where the biggest most keenly awaited match in the last twenty years of Newcastle United’s history is taking place. It’s the first home Champions League tie since 2003 and the fans have been talking about this one for a while, the toon had a respectable goalless draw in Milan to open their group F campaign whilst PSG beat Dortmund on matchd
