And so the day has almost arrived when Wolverhampton Wanderers head up to St James' Park for what can only be described an eagerly anticipated fixture at Gallowgate.
Nobody connected with Newcastle United will forget the reverse fixture in the Black Country back in August when Wolves kicked their way to a point at Molineux with Joey Barton on the end of some rough treatment from a bloke called Karl Henry.
Of course, Wolves' tactics were only 50% successful on the day as they could only yield a point but on a day when referee Stuart Attwell had a poor game in my humble opinion, it could and perhaps should have been a greater success for the Magpies as somehow the home side kept 10 men on the pitch.
