Newcastle 3-Preston North end 0

Number 26 for Preston was really good, and Newcastle right back did ok. The big young lad at the magpies front had the height advantage in a game which brought a flavour of old time's sake, when english football was all about tossing the ball high in the air. And that's the championship for you!
Anyway I had a great first time at St James's Park, and Newcastle will thankfully soon be back in the serious league, where, for my own trouble, I presume I will support them (the lads probably need to do some serious training this summer - and buy a game plan).

'Panache' was what I heard
