00:00A capacity crowd at the Dell in August 99 for a fixture that had a reputation for producing goals
00:05It was one of the wettest August recorded and Southampton were hoping to brighten up their season with a win over Newcastle
00:12The Magpies hadn't won in their previous nine games in the Premiership including the first two of the 99-2000 season
00:18If they failed again, it would equal the club's worst sequence of results for 21 years
00:24The Saints hadn't been relegated from the top division in 22 seasons and had made a modest start with a win and a draw
00:30Dave Jones included Dean Richards in the starting lineup, but young prospect James Beatty was still missing after breaking his ribs at home a
00:38despondent rude hooligan his team weren't helped by their mounting injury problems Duncan Ferguson Shea given Steve Howie and
00:45Marcelino were all out. They did however have Alan Shearer as captain
00:49He of course first made his name at the Dell with Southampton. Your match commentator is Alan Parry
00:57So the two teams in stripes
01:00are head-to-head
01:01Southampton in red and white, of course
01:04Newcastle in the famous black and white and change shorts of white today to avoid a clash with the home team
01:11Here's Timori Ketspaya the Georgian international and Warren Barton on the right
01:20First foul on Alan Shearer
01:24Who despite having started his career here, I suspect will not get a very welcome reception from the home fans
01:37And Austin Steph just failed to make contact on the far post when Mark Hughes had flicked it on
01:43Mike just to come off the defender Hughes and indeed that's the referees opinion. He's given the corner
01:51Letizia a bit of a God to these supporters here can do no wrong
01:56He's some corner as well back into the crowd
02:01And Newcastle survive a difficult moment
02:05Scott highly for that
02:08And Scott highly for that virtually every other player still inside the Newcastle half
02:14and gaps appearing in the visitors defense and
02:18They've conceded a corner Hughes again the quickest to spot the danger and Carl Sarant is still down with a knee injury
02:25And Newcastle's injury woes continue to mount up here
02:30Well marriage is the man who's going to be you so rude hood it has gone for experience here rather than one of the youngsters who might have been a more natural replacement
02:47Another letizia corner
02:53And pump back into that box again
02:56And pump back into that box again, and I had a just over fine effort from Mark Hughes
03:05Took him a long time to get off the mark for Southampton 32 games in fact before he scored his first goal
03:11Mark Hughes his first and only goal
03:15And he might be
03:17Thinking that that should have been his second really and the first of this game
03:22Back to Hughes
03:27The free kick given for the challenge on Gary speed
03:32The only man who played in every single Premiership game for Newcastle last season speed is cat's fire Solano
03:43Cat's fire well he's always prepared to shoot
03:47Cat's fire well he's always prepared to shoot irrespective of the
03:52Distance or difficulty of the angle he scores spectacular goals usually cat's fire not many of them
03:59He got eight last season well in fairness to him only Alan Shearer managed more for Newcastle
04:06Good few more mind you sheerer finished top scorer with 21
04:17Cat's fire Barton providing the overlap
04:22And set up there for Dyer who's gone down and the referee has pointed to the penalty spot
04:28Well the initial reaction was that that was a harsh decision certainly Lundikvam will think so
04:34Pierre and Dyer breaking onto the loose ball
04:36Lundikvam threw himself at Dyer and the referee had no hesitation in
04:42Awarding a penalty and a great opportunity here presumably for Alan Shearer to give Newcastle United the lead and
04:50Shearer steps up
04:52and scores
04:53Jones unlucky he got a big hand on the ball, but he couldn't keep out
04:59Alan Shearer's penalty and
05:01Shearer maintains his excellent record against his first club ten goals in a dozen games now
05:08against the team
05:10With whom he started his professional career
05:14Shearer's off the mark for the new season then and that's goal number
05:19154 for him in the Premiership in
05:22219 games no other striker can better that record
05:27But Tizzy a plays it in
05:30And the linesman's offside flag has been spotted now by mr.. Ellery
05:36Austin step the player cord
05:39And
05:40Solano's found a way through
05:43Barton's cross a good one to the far post
05:46Is Dyer again he goes down again and again?
05:50Well, that's remarkable
05:51Three times in a couple of minutes Kieran Dyer has hit the deck in Southampton's penalty area
05:58He got a penalty for the first challenge, but not for
06:01the two we've just seen
06:04I
06:06Come forward again, Newcastle the gear and Dyer. It's by his control for cash loo clears
06:17Well, this is a great little spell for Newcastle and Southampton are struggling at the moment to get any kind of possession
06:24Oh
06:26Marriage turning it long good ball to Solano with a little header on Dyer's there again. That's brilliant by Dyer
06:32Oh, that would have been a magnificent goal if he'd hit the target then
06:37beautiful skill by the youngster
06:40Lifting the ball over the defenders head
06:43And got himself into a shooting position just watch this again
06:47brilliant skill by Kieran Dyer
06:50So unlucky that shaved the foot of the post close to his first Newcastle goal, and it would have been memorable
07:04Highly opts for the long ball towards Paz and Ashton Stad almost on to it
07:09I
07:19Just had again
07:22Oakley
07:22That's little Ben Ali
07:25Sloppy ball by Ben Ali Newcastle grateful, but in fairness to him. He came and won it back again
07:40Well the tizzy a has been a periphery figure so far
07:44Just those little tippy-tappy balls in the middle of the field that are not really causing any problems to the opposition. Here's Marianne Paz
07:53Little nudge there from first Domi and then Goma
07:58And gets a free kick his team
08:01And
08:03An early ball in almost produced dividends mark Hughes applauds the accuracy and the speed of thinking
08:11in that very quickly taken free kick
08:15Newcastle caught sloppily there a little bit. They weren't concentrating
08:19As the tizzy a whip the free kick in quicker than anyone expected
08:23Expected
08:27Shearer's header on Kets buyer Solano danger for Southampton here Solano still going Kets fire
08:34Oh almost too many cooks boiling the broth there for Newcastle
08:38They had three players in a position to score and in the end it seems they got in each other's way
08:46Southampton fortunate to survive that well this fixture looks like living up to its reputation for producing goals
08:53I think there's only been one dollar straw in the last 20 odd meetings between the two
09:02Good ball for Austin stack
09:06Was unlucky the little back healer almost paid off and Newcastle break dangerously Silvio Manic in possession
09:15There'll be two minutes of stockage time added
09:19And
09:21Care and I for me has been the man of the harp for Newcastle
09:24He's really driven things on from the middle of the field and it was the foul on him that led to Shearer's penalty
09:31Successfully converted for the only goal of the half
09:35Domi's cross headed away by Lundik van
09:39now Kets buyer
09:42Domi will try again
09:44better ball Solano
09:48Newcastle will settle for this late corner came off finale
10:00Richards will be keeping a very careful eye on Shearer here
10:07Still got some kind of contact there Shearer
10:11Solano back in possession still danger for Southampton and it really was danger
10:19a
10:21Wild clearance, but at least the threat has been averted for the moment by Pajar's
10:30Termin look on the face of the captain Francis Bernal e
10:32I
10:47Also had time to take a touch set himself up for a good ball forward marriage goes down no free kick given the tizzy a
10:55Dispossessed and again, he's been
10:58infuriating at times let's easy a today just doesn't seem to
11:02Be involved enough in this game and at halftime, they're going to need a bigger contribution from him for the second half
11:09Here and I has had an excellent first half and Newcastle United
11:13Deservedly go in at the interval here leading Southampton by one goal to nil
11:18Newcastle United not surprisingly beginning with the same 11 as started the game an hour ago
11:34Very satisfactory first half for them
11:39Castle had finished 13th in the Premiership in each of the last two seasons
11:43And that after being runners-up to the champions in each of the previous two seasons and it shows you what a decline has set in
11:50in recent years
11:52At St. James's Park, but of course the fans are as fanatical as any in the land and deserve better than that
12:03Mark Hughes for Southampton, it's a good ball to and danger here for Newcastle the ball cleared
12:11And the new man from the eggle salt that having an immediate effect
12:19Corner kick
12:24Punched clear rather uncertain punch it has to be said by
12:27it's another of the new players out there cut Elsa the
12:31debutant goalkeeper for Newcastle
12:34Dyer the outstanding player of the half for me
12:37finding Kimura gets fire
12:41Didn't quite return the favor
12:47Good supporters ever here in this compact little stadium for the home team
12:57Shearer's goal still separates the sides
13:04Ha ha Ripley Hughes concedes the throw
13:10And
13:14It's good football highly just beaten to it, but again Southampton win it back
13:20Mark Hughes for that
13:22Clever little ball Austin stats header
13:25And still danger. Oh good save by the goalkeeper
13:29Well, he had to improvise against salt bet then
13:32And use his feet
13:34To keep out the man who's only just come on to make his first ever appearance for Southampton
13:41Good work by cut Elsa
13:46This is Ripley up against Omi and the early ball in was a real tester
13:53Hughes
13:54Ripley can try again
13:59And wins the corner of PDA Domi
14:05Well Southampton seem to be edging closer and closer to an equalizing goal
14:11Both lunatic Batman Richards forward for this corner
14:15Ball rearing up there and the crowd shouting handball as the defender got it away
14:26And they're under real pressure here in your castle even sheerer back in the left-back position
14:30And
14:38Southampton capitalized on a genuine period of ascendancy in the game now
14:49Their first really of the match
14:53The police done well here Austin stand in the middle is a great ball
14:57Lose on the end of it and Southampton get the equalizer their second half performance has deserved
15:07Great ball in from the right by Ripley cash little was the man in the right position at the right time
15:16An easy tap it it may look
15:19But you've got to be there to finish them off
15:21And cash little read the play
15:25Perfectly and Southampton our level here. Oh, what a match we've got in prospect now
15:40How he speak dispossessed
15:42Don't be on hand
15:44Shearer's layoff was excellent tired in a great position here
15:47Manish decided to go alone
15:50And he slipped through the ball to Kieran Dyer then I would have been in a wonderful position Dean Richards defended well
16:03And when will it ever stop raining in this August month, which is allegedly the English summer
16:10How he speak gets fire you'll fancy a shot if he just gets the whites of those goalposts and he did
16:2125 minutes to go
16:23Pegged back to 1-1
16:32Always unpredictable catch by a
16:35Those clothes
16:41Good second half it's been Ripley with a great ball Hughes is there
16:47And Pajaro arrives
16:49And Southampton have turned a one goal deficit into a 2-1 lead and
16:55Ripley has been the architect of this matchup
16:59His cross first for cash little on the far post this ball flighted over the head of Hughes and on to Pajaro's
17:06And that's an excellent finish and Southampton
17:10Really have taken control of things here in the second half and Newcastle facing the possibility of a third success
17:18And Southampton really have taken control of things here in the second half and Newcastle facing the possibility of a third success
17:25And Newcastle facing the possibility of a third successive Premiership defeat now
17:31And from having a very untroubled first half the new goalkeeper has now been beaten twice in the space of 23 minutes in the second half
17:42And there could be more problems for him here, yes, he's been beaten again cash little gets his second Southampton get their third
17:50Newcastle are in disarray
17:52Southampton are in dreamland, Hullick can't believe it
17:57What a comeback
18:00Again a simple ball
18:03But it was a lovely little touch on and cash little was not about to look a gift horse in the mouth here
18:12Saltbeck the debutant
18:16Getting the little header down and cash little's finish
18:19Precise and he's on a hat-trick now
18:24Southampton lead Newcastle by three goals to one and the recriminations are
18:30Starting now on and off the field for Newcastle and the pressure is building for Ruud Hullet
18:40What kind of response does Ruud Hullet have for this
18:43And this was going to be a season when Newcastle having spent so heavily in the summer. We're going to really
18:49challenge
18:50For the top places in the premiership if you believe
18:54staunchest fans
18:56Well with all due respect to Southampton. It's the kind of team. You've got a beat if you've got lofty ambitions
19:03Here's Ripley again, what a start he's made in this second half
19:07Scott highly gets the ball in there all over the place at the back at the moment and Pahars in possession again
19:13Looking for his second goal
19:16Well
19:18It's been all Southampton since the start of the second half
19:22And with 20 minutes to go they fully deserve their 3-1 lead here
19:46And that just about sums up Newcastle's second half
19:50Harry Spears had a disappointing day
19:54Well, it looks as though Southampton's marvellous record
19:57Against Newcastle here at the Dell is going to have another chapter added and the home fans taunting Newcastle now
20:1018 minutes to go that could be worse problems
20:12Oh
20:14It was very nearly goal number four
20:16Well, if you've got to have sympathy for Newcastle, you have to say I've got a young
20:21Fairly inexperienced player in Aaron Hughes alongside Goma, but really is that an excuse for the way they have
20:28Collapsed in this second half
20:30Although that's not giving due credit to Southampton for their fight back
20:34Pahars have played really well, haven't they Southampton since the break
20:41And remember
20:43That it's 40 years since Newcastle lost their first three matches of the season in any of the divisions
20:49They've been in in all that time
20:53A very unwanted record seems about to be made here
20:58Very unwanted record seems about to be made here
21:03And it'll be if they lose their 10th Premiership match without a win going back to the end of last season something
21:10That hasn't happened for 21 years
21:15Grim statistics indeed if you're a Newcastle fan
21:19More problems on the way the goalkeeper kept that in the first shot Pahars couldn't turn it back in Dean Richards had a
21:25Almost bringing a fourth Southampton goal did well there Carelsi
21:32And question marks have got to be asked about a team which was comfortably in the lead
21:36Let's face it in the first half, but which has capitulated in dramatic style
21:41Since halftime and maybe the biggest question mark of the season has been whether or not they've been able to turn it back in
21:46Since halftime and maybe the biggest question mark of all will be asked about the managers involvement
21:53Solano crosses here
21:58And danger for Southampton
22:01And a great chance for Shearer on the far post and you really would have put money on him converting that
22:09Solano's cross was high and maybe Shearer just wasn't in the best position to climb high enough to reach it
22:17Solano's cross was high and maybe Shearer just wasn't in the best position to climb high enough to reach it
22:25Here's the architect of Newcastle's downfall really Ripley, it's another good ball into the box
22:33Oh, it's a great effort what a superb goal by Mark Hughes
22:40Brilliant strike that turned the clock back
22:44The Hughes of old and
22:46again
22:47Ripley the provider the little knockdown was perfect, but there was still a lot to do a salt that turned it to him
22:54But how well he did it
22:58Only his second goal since joining Southampton
23:03But that's as sweet a strike as any he produced in his great years and Newcastle's misery is complete
23:10Or is it?
23:13Well, they have to match press conference for rude hood it is going to be interesting
23:21I has done well here a great determined run into the box
23:25Very good play by Karen Dyer. We've been one of the few successes for Newcastle today
23:32He doesn't deserve to be on the losing side, but he's going to be
23:35And
23:39Like that for two
23:42Gary speed coming to meet the corner and a little bit of consolation later on for Newcastle
23:50He's always a danger from set pieces speed with his aerial ability and he timed his run perfectly there
23:58to meet that well flighted corner and
24:01Find the corner of the net unguarded
24:06Oh
24:08Well, he might have had a hatchet. No exaggeration today salt that and all in the space of 45 minutes on his first ever appearance
24:17He's been really unlucky that he hasn't managed to go
24:28It's all over at the Dell and the problems mount
24:32For rude hood it some awkward questions coming his way now
24:35I'm sure his team have lost their first three matches of the season
24:42They're rooted to the bottom of the premiership table
24:44They haven't got a single point out of the nine available and Southampton
24:49Complete a very impressive comeback here in the second 45 minutes
24:54They have beaten Newcastle United at the Dell by four goals to two
24:59So a few unwanted records broken by rude when it's Newcastle
25:03It had been 40 seasons since they'd lost that just and they equaled the club's worst run of results for 21 years
25:09The exclusion of tune icon Alan Shearer for the local derby against Sunderland 10 days later spelt the end for hoolid
25:16Bobby Robson was appointed manager and safely guided Newcastle away from the relegation mire
