Got the train at half 11 from Darlington to Newcastle arrived in Newcastle about 10 past 12. Went straight to the stadium went in the club shop had a walk round the ground to waste time ended up in shearers bar having a couple in there to soak up the atmosphere and have a laugh with mates. As the game kicked off and michael owen fired newcastle in front a sigh of relief filled the stadium and a comfortable win looked likely and even more so when owen scored again to give the mags a 2-0 half time lead . But fair play to stoke they didnt give up and in the end deserved what they got a hard fort point at a ground which is becoming less and less like a fortress for newcaslte , all in all a great day out at Newcastle.
