84 - SUB: Alan Smith comes on for Viduka and the Aussie has done okay today with his goal.

75 - Keller fumble : Geremi fires in a shot which Keller fumbles but gathers at the second attempt. There is still hope for Fulham.

74 - SUB: Martins is coming off for N'Zogbia and the decision is not greeted with praise from some sections of the Toon Army. Martins is given a standing ovation after a lively showing.

HALF-TIME : Newcastle go in at the break leading 1-0 thanks to Mark Viduka's early strike. Right I am off for a deserved cup of tea and hopefully you can join me for the second half. Can Newcastle keep hold of their lead or can Fulham stage an unlikely comeback. What do you think both managers need to do at the break to turn the game in their favour?

Toon concerns : Newcastle fans Matt Stewart and Robert Ward fear Newcastle could pay for missing their chances. Can Newcastle finish the game off?

44 - Fulham opening : Andreasen tees up Bullard on the edge of the box but off balance the midfielder slices his shot horribly wide. Fulham are enjoying their best period in the game but half-time is approaching and Newcastle look like they need it to come.

42 Nervous defending : Enrique comes to the rescue as Andreasen tries to get through for Fulham, but can Newcastle's defence keep a clean sheet today?

36 - What a miss : It should be 2-0 to Newcastle as Owen gets on the end of Geremi's cross six-yards from goal, but he heads straight at Keller. What a let-off for Fulham.

34 - Bullard shooting for fun : Jimmy Bullard has another shot from long-range which Harper gathers. Has Bullard got a bet on himself to score today?

Fulham view - At last : Jim Honeyman does not rate Roy Hodgson and believes Fulham should have stuck with Chris Coleman. Is Jim right Fulham fans?

Far away : David Jamieson is watching the action in Libya and he is hoping this could be a turning point for Newcastle.

31 - Faye unlucky : Newcastle are unlucky again when Faye tries his luck with an acrobatic overhead kick which runs right across the goalline before being cleared. Is this the best Newcastle have played since Keegan's return?

30 : From the resulting corner Fulham's goal lives a charmed life with Danny Murphy clearing off the line.

29 - Owen denied : Owen tries his luck with a shot from long-range which is superbly tipped over the crossbar.

28 What a waste : Bullard takes a corner but his delivery is terrible with his kick going out of play before drifting back in.

Keegan is the man : That is the opinion of Josh Turner and Paul Jackson who believe Keegan needs time to get things right. What do you Fulham fans think of Roy Hodgson?

Bad timing : Newcastle fans Daniel Tidmas and Mohamed Mashood are both unhappy they are stuck at work, but thanks for the praise lads.

23 - Martins goes close : Obafemi Martins goes close to scoring when he bursts clear and cuts in and fires a shot which Keller turns round the post for a corner.

Bullard fan : Paul Jackson is happy Newcastle are in front, but he believes Jimmy Bullard will find the net for Fulham today.

14 - Snow joke : It is snowing heavily now at St James' Park I am glad in a warm office watching the action. Where are you watching the action today?

Lucky omen : Fulham's last win on the road was at Newcastle and they came from behind in that game. Could that be a lucky omen for Fulham?

Bets on are : Wayne Wright has his money on a 2-0 win to Newcastle. Drinks are on Wayne if his bet comes up.

: That is Mark Viduka's eighth goal in eight games against Fulham during his time in England. How do you think Viduka has done since his move to Newcastle?

7 - Fulham response : Bullard lets fly from the edge of the box with a dipping shot which Steve Harper gathers at the second attempt. Can Fulham bounce back from suffering such an early blow?

6 -GOAL : Viduka opens the scoring for Newcastle with a fine finish and Ray Marshall could be right with his prediction of 3-1 to Newcastle.
