00:00a role when they entertained league leaders Manchester United on the 12th of February 2000
00:05they'd lost just once in nine games in all competitions
00:08whilst Manchester United had only recently returned from their controversial FIFA World Club Championship exploits
00:15since taking over as manager of Newcastle from Ruud Gullit
00:1866-year-old Bobby Robson had remained unbeaten at St James' Park
00:23there were two changes to the side that had drawn with Sunderland in their last match
00:27Aaron Hughes started for the first time since Boxing Day in place of the injured Alessandro Postone
00:33while Kevin Gallagher was preferred to Didier Dermy
00:36the Scot was still looking for his first goal since his move from Blackburn
00:40former Newcastle striker Andy Cole partnered Teddy Sheringham in attack
00:45despite a good partnership on the field they didn't speak off it
00:49Manchester United were unbeaten in their last 11 Premiership matches
00:53but Sir Alex Ferguson made two changes from the side that had beaten Coventry 3-2 last time out
00:58in came Dennis Irwin at left back in place of Phil Neville
01:01and Ryan Giggs returned, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the player to make way for him
01:07always a tense atmosphere before this fixture
01:10Coventry from Martin Tyler
01:12well the days of Newcastle being Manchester United's closest rivals in the Championship race
01:17not that long ago
01:18the two United's first and second in 96 and 97
01:22but at the moment Newcastle 13th
01:24exactly where they finished in the last two seasons
01:28Stephen Lodge is the referee
01:30still probably trying to get fully warmed up
01:33it's very cold here, a biting wind, snow showers this morning
01:38it is the North East of England in February
01:42and it will be I think a test of
01:46toughness
01:47out on the pitch as well as talent, there's plenty of that
01:57Gary Speed playing his 100th game for Newcastle today
02:07and now the jumping, a shrewd header
02:13Gallagher
02:15Aaron Hughes giving the chance
02:18after that unfortunate injury for Pistone a week ago
02:24Speed
02:27Ferguson leaving it for Shearer
02:29Gallagher trying to get in and Gary Neville can only put it behind for a corner
02:35certainly as an attacking force Newcastle have got a lot to offer
02:39whether they're strong enough defensively to hold Manchester United at bay we shall see
02:46they've certainly got the capacity to score in free play and certainly from set pieces as well
02:53it's Beckham who's first to it
02:55gets it back from Giggs
02:58and Saw avenues to explore down the left hand side
03:01Keane has got Cole outside of him
03:10Giggs
03:11and Scholes, Sheringham going near post
03:16and getting to it
03:19and the first thrust from Manchester United could easily have given them the lead
03:26it's a very shrewd ball from Scholes
03:28typical movement from Sheringham
03:33blustery conditions
03:36making it easy for the players to switch the ball
03:40particularly the longer passes with any huge confidence about the accuracy
03:45there's a different approach from Manchester United the running ability of Ryan Giggs
03:48Cole
03:50Beckham arriving
04:04Andy Cole playing apart
04:05Sheringham hoping that there was someone behind him in a Manchester United red shirt
04:08it was Beckham
04:17after they worked it so well down the right hand side
04:30speed
04:31Gallagher
04:32fuses well forward
04:35trying to get even further forward now
04:39with his speed
04:42but Manchester United have regrouped
04:47Lee
04:49little flick from Shearer
04:50Ferguson
04:52what a goal
04:58well
04:59Manchester United have felt the force of Duncan Ferguson before
05:09but he swung
05:11he shot
05:13and he scored a superb goal
05:24there didn't seem to be too much on
05:26the touch from Shearer
05:28but Ferguson let it run across his body onto his favoured left foot
05:32and swept it home
05:35so the front men combined
05:39but really
05:40the vast majority of the credit this time goes to the scorer himself
05:48well they called it the dream ticket when
05:50Ferguson was brought here to
05:53link up with Alan Shearer that was before Bobby Robson arrived
05:57but now
05:58they're
05:59having a spell in the side together
06:01and the goals are
06:04coming at better than
06:06one again between the two of them
06:11but not too many better than that one
06:18and Manchester United
06:20allowing Gallagher a side of goal there
06:23are a little disturbed at the moment at St James' Park
06:37Gallagher
06:45Dabi Zas
06:48Lee
06:49strong against Giggs, very strong
06:51Ferguson
06:54and here's Diak
06:58oh it's deflected over Bosnian against the post
07:01Shearer still fighting for it, he's gone down
07:06Newcastle a whisker away from
07:08doubling their advantage now
07:11they might fear
07:12this Manchester United counter charge
07:14led by Keane
07:17Calder gets in the way
07:20Scholes
07:24Keane again
07:25looking for Cole
07:26he tries to guide it down for Scholes and
07:31with half an hour gone
07:33it's 1-0 to Newcastle
07:37and
07:39the ball has just bounced out of
07:41Mark Vosnitz's right hand
07:42closed for the goalkeeper, no work
07:53Sheringham won it well against Calder, Cole
07:59Giggs
08:04Scholes
08:06handball
08:14well here's Kieran Dyer
08:17Shearer and Ferguson busy in the centre
08:19off Yapstam
08:20Vosnitz
08:22looks skywards and
08:24his prayers were answered
08:34and here is Calder
08:37Dyer
08:45Gallagher
08:48as I said earlier
08:49he's not frightened to have a crack
09:02Shearer
09:03won it very well indeed
09:05against Irwick
09:06Gallagher
09:07making the angle for the pass
09:10to link up with Dyer
09:13and we had 2 against 1 in the centre
09:14Kieran Dyer recognised that
09:16you could see him trying to get in the early cross
09:34Mickie says that it hit Scholes on the head
09:38Hughes
09:41Gallagher
09:42Speed
09:45now Lee
09:48off Stam
09:51oh and when
09:52it dropped like that
09:55onto Gary Speed's left foot
09:59Newcastle
10:00were really expecting the best
10:02it didn't materialise
10:09but again
10:11the attacking pressure
10:12of Newcastle United
10:15troubling Manchester United
10:22Beckham
10:24Sheringham
10:27would have suggested a call
10:28Cole
10:29Andy Cole
10:30called for that one
10:33Dyer
10:37now Bach
10:40Shearer
10:41who likes to work the right hand side
10:42of the net
10:43it's a
10:44probing cross
10:45that needed Paul Scholes
10:46to pop back into his own penalty area
10:48to
10:49deal with for Manchester United
10:51at the cost of a corner
10:59here comes Helder
11:00fresh from his goal
11:01last Saturday
11:09Shearer coming in
11:11as others took defenders away
11:15if that had gone in
11:17Michael Silvestre
11:19would have got a bit of a roasting
11:21from his teammates
11:22Alan Shearer certainly beat him to the ball
11:24greater determination
11:28Shearer once
11:29Shearer twice
11:32speed
11:34just too far ahead of Dyer
11:55Shearer gets the throw
12:00sustaining their play
12:01in the first half
12:05it's not been difficult
12:06for
12:07Newcastle
12:09now Stephen Lodge
12:11gets a word with his
12:13assistant
12:14Andy Garrett
12:17and after that
12:18little pow-wow
12:19the outcome
12:20was a caution for the
12:22captain of Manchester United
12:24Roy Keane
12:30Roy Keane
12:37one can only assume
12:38for
12:40the wrong choice of words
12:42to the assistant
12:48back at
12:49stoppage time
12:50before half-time
12:51at St. James' Park
13:00Scoles
13:02Keane trying to take it on the burst
13:03Newcastle were holding a
13:06pretty square back line
13:08Manchester United have a similar problem
13:09at the moment
13:10Shearer
13:12for Ferguson
13:13not a great angle
13:17and it was always widening
13:20but as we come to the end of the first half
13:22this is
13:24really
13:26a moment that summed up
13:27the best of it
13:31with Duncan Ferguson again to the fore
13:36indeed that is the final act
13:38of the first half
13:39and Newcastle will come into
13:41tremendous reception for their work in it
13:43and Keane has now gone across
13:46to continue
13:48the argument with the referee
13:50in full view
13:52of the paying customers
13:57half-time at St. James' Park
13:59the United of Newcastle
14:00won
14:01the United from Manchester
14:02nil
14:19Giggs
14:20and Cole
14:24Scoles to Beckham
14:25to Giggs
14:27and just when
14:28Manchester United were
14:30putting the passes together
14:31with real poise
14:37Beckham
14:39good play by Harper
14:42Gallagher has set off through the centre
14:43wanting a quick kick
14:44for the goalkeeper
14:45but he has
14:46bolded out
14:47impressively to Dier
14:52the space in the centre
14:53for Speed
14:58and Hughes
14:59came forward a long way
15:00look at the space
15:02but he's left
15:15Robertson
15:16calling for
15:19his team to lift the tempo
15:20of their play
15:22and also
15:23he wants to make the substitution
15:25but before that
15:26Andy Cole
15:28Sheringham's there
15:30all sorts of appealing
15:31for Manchester United
15:33no reaction
15:34from the assistant
15:35on the far side
15:37Newcastle still lead
15:38one nil
15:40but Manchester United
15:41coming closer and closer
15:43Cole
15:44got it over Harper
15:48this might give us
15:49an even better view of it
15:53pulled back by Harper
15:57Ketzbier
16:04Giggs
16:08Newcastle
16:09defending their one nil lead
16:10with increasing difficulty
16:16Scholes
16:17and Roy Keane
16:18is in the clear
16:20and he's collared in here
16:22Harper's died back
16:26but
16:27Manchester United
16:28a goal down
16:29Keane not about
16:30to pull out
16:35the ball goes loose
16:36Harper wasn't sure
16:37he died back
16:39but he got a free kick
16:44and that looks like
16:45the ball's over the line
16:48hole of the ball
16:49and it's in
16:51and it's in
16:52and it's in
16:53and it's in
16:54and it's in
16:55hole of the ball
16:56has to cross it
16:57remember
16:59and Andy Cole would like
17:00to study those replays
17:01I'm sure
17:03it's his flick here
17:08Sheringham was caught
17:12will Newcastle United
17:13be caught
17:14their one nil in front
17:16and they've got Warren Barton here
17:17and they've got plenty of players
17:18forward including
17:19Kieran Dyer
17:23Keane back to tidy up
17:24with the help of Scholes
17:28Giggs
17:34very hard of course
17:35for the officials
17:36to be able to
17:38adjudicate on that
17:40as the ball over
17:41incident
17:43well
17:44now
17:45Manchester United
17:48have lost their captain
17:55Roy Keane goes
18:03is he the only one
18:04in trouble
18:20well Stephen Lodge losing
18:22his patience
18:23with the pursuing pack
18:24including Cole
18:26yellow for him
18:29well
18:30really
18:32it seemed to be
18:33on the cards
18:35Keane
18:36cautioned just before
18:37half-time
18:38left the footed
18:40not too long after
18:42a rash challenge
18:43on the goalkeeper
18:45and Stephen Lodge
18:46ran out of patience
18:49also with Cole
18:50for
18:51his contributions
18:52to the subsequent
18:53debate
18:55the defending champions
18:56the league leaders
19:00a 1-0 down
19:01and a player down
19:03we've had 20 minutes
19:04of the second half
19:09Speed
19:11on from Dyer
19:12Ketzbauer onside
19:14now he has to check back
19:20Shearer
19:23Shearer
19:29Gallagher
19:34plenty of willingness to
19:35push on from left back
19:36from Aaron Hughes
19:37who
19:38got the vote over Didier Domit
19:39to replace Pistoni today
19:42Lee
19:43sat up for the shot
19:47well he doesn't
19:48get close to the opposition goal
19:49too often these days
19:50Rob Lee
19:53this from
19:54long range
19:55had a bit of swerve
19:56and dip on it
19:57little bit further away
19:58than
19:59maybe it first looked
20:02Teddy Sheringham
20:04is replaced by
20:05Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
20:1015 minutes left
20:12and
20:13if you had to put someone
20:14on to get you a goal
20:15in testing circumstances
20:17Solskjaer would be
20:18high on the list
20:23Shearer
20:24four forward for Newcastle
20:26oh and Shearer
20:27didn't need any support
20:32the familiar salute
20:35the unfamiliar
20:36feeling for Manchester
20:37United have been
20:382-0 down
20:39well he won't be
20:40taking anything for granted
20:41yet
20:42there's 15 minutes
20:43to go
20:46and with Keane
20:47off
20:50the other captain
20:51striding on
20:55and almost
20:56placing it
20:57in the
20:58middle of the
20:59box
21:00it's
21:01not
21:02a
21:03goal
21:04it's
21:05a
21:06goal
21:07it's
21:09Keone Mark
21:10Bosniac
21:12gets Byer close
21:13to
21:14getting a touch
21:15himself
21:24and here's Beckham
21:27Cole
21:33But with the interception
21:34as Giggs started to
21:36thread it through for
21:37goals
21:44Sylvester
21:48Dealt with by elder
21:52Shira
21:53Since right and left coming from deep at late
21:58That's fire
22:00The first to confront it
22:03Backpedal from him and that could have been a costly policy
22:13Very novel unable to stop the Georgian from going goalwards with the shot
22:21Here's that Gabby land still only 19
22:33Gabby laughs Shira
22:36Let's stop by Bosnich down
22:38by the left-hand post
22:42Newcastle not satisfied yet Shira is never satisfied when it comes to goal scoring
22:50An easy ball to strike or to stop
22:55But
22:58Manchester United have to live with the fact
23:02There's a bit of an incident there with gigs and Barton as well
23:06Of their behavior. It's a
23:09Scrutinized that
23:11Of course every team wants to beat them. They set the standards
23:17And when defeat does come along or a decision that seems inappropriate
23:22They cope with it
23:25There's a match of huge public interest around the world
23:30Domi
23:32Has another one
23:34But Shira
23:36Manchester United are well and truly beaten now
23:46Just look at the reaction here
23:50Shades of the famous 5-0 when Shira cashed in
23:55And
23:57Then they were chasing Manchester United in the championship race here. They're looking for points to pull away from the relegation area
24:04And that's the real value of the win as it surely will be now
24:12Fergie Fergie, what's the score is what they're chanting
24:17He's usually a man who has the last laugh
24:19Usually a man who has the last laugh
24:23We'll do so in the championship race, but this has been Bobby Robson's day
24:28speed
24:30That's the positive Shira
24:33Not expected that to happen. He could have followed in possibly
24:37Great for Newcastle in the bottom half of the table
24:40And for those clubs chasing Manchester United towards the top a result to savor as well
24:45That result is Newcastle United 3 Manchester United 0
24:50Newcastle recovered their season satisfactorily after Ruud Hullet's departure
24:55The Dutchman making the fatal mistake of dropping Alan Shira
24:59Shira's team is now in the top three
25:01After Ruud Hullet's departure, the Dutchman making the fatal mistake of dropping Alan Shira
25:06Shira scored 23 league goals for the Magpies
25:09But poor away form, which included just four victories, meant the club eventually finished in 11th place
25:15Manchester United had an embarrassment of riches up front
25:19And Sheringham, Solskjaer, York and Cole powered them to another league success
