    Heavens we are rotten. Being dominated at home to a newly promoted Fulham who sit in the bottom three. We're making progress eh Steve...

    GOAL - Newcastle 0-1 Fulhampublished at 42 mins

    Matt Ritchie own goal

    Hahaha, it's a comical own goal, but Fulham will. not. care.

    Ademola Lookman whips in the corner which Tosin Adarabioyo nods towards goal, it looks like it is going wide, Matt Ritchie is trying to get out of the way but the ball smacks him on the chin and ends up in the back of the net.

    A real Christmas blooper.

    Ian Walker: If Newcastle lose tonight I think they will be relegated, really very very poor side

    Aaron K: Honestly. What is even the point in watching Newcastle. They don’t even try and score. Just passively stand there. 33% of the possession after 35 minutes of a match. Against the might of recently promoted 18th placed Fulham. It’s pitiful

    Newcastle 0-0 Fulham

    Very good save from Alphonse Areola, grabbing the ball and managing to keep it in his grasp from Miguel Almiron's low rasping shot.

    Could not afford to spill that one.

    Ahh, Fulham are threatening to threaten but Tom Cairney screws wide after his own team-mate Mario Lemina got in the way.

    I don't think it's too difficult to guess who may well be top of the pecking order on MOTD tonight. Unless there's 3 goals in this game Liverpool have scored more goals than the other 7 PL teams in action today put together.

    Fulham should lead.

    Mario Lemina's delightfully chipped ball is into the path of Bobby de Cordova-Reid inside the box, but the Fulham frontman slices his effort wide.

    Has to do better from there.

  12. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 29 mins

    Newcastle 0-0 Fulham

    Ademola Lookman down in the box under a challenge from De Andre Yedlin.

    Fulham want a penalty, VAR had a check but it is only a corner for the visitors.

  13. CLOSE!published at 29 mins

    Newcastle 0-0 Fulham

    From Tom Cairney's resulting corner, centre-half Tosin Adarabioyo nods a yard wide.

    I'm not sure what's worse, Christmas being cancelled or this tactical masterclass between Bruce and Parker.

    Ademola Lookman is the man that takes responsibility, but his free-kick hits the wall.

    A three-man Fulham committee is standing over the ball.

    Big Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa tripped on the edge of the area by Federico Fernandez and Fulham have a free-kick in a very promising position.

    James Webster: I get what people are saying about missing more games at 3pm on a Saturday - but I love being able to see them all!

    Noel Fitzpatrick: These staggered games are like a pub crawl...sounds great at the start but after 2 rounds you're falling asleep!
