Last Saturday was Matt's last chance to go to St. James park to see Newcastle United play. This was my first English Premier League game and I got to say it was very suspenseful. I had a great time and I love watching the Geordie fans singing their chants. Newcaslte United tied against Wigan 2-2. (They played really well after they got scored on but the score remained 1-0 until they put Michael Owen on the field. Shola Ameobi ripped a quick left footed shot that the Wigan keeper deflected and Owen pounced on the loose ball to drive it into the net. The crowd went wild and the guy next to Matt hugged him. Then a beautiful through ball played to Obafemi Martins was handled well and he blasted a left footer into the opposite corner to give us the lead. The 50,000 Englishmen in attendance went berserk and Matt got to hug that guy again as they jumped up and down. Then the unthinkable happened and Newcastle collapsed. Wigan got a corner and scored from a header to tie.) Matt wrote the stuff in parenthesis.....I am not that much of a fanatic.
Matt, concentrated on the game.
Crazy Geordie fans.
I can't believe our time here in England is almost done. We are going to miss this place so so much.
