- 75'
Campbell gets the better of Boumsong for a moment and gets the shot away but the Frenchman had recovered enough to render the effort impotent and Harper collects easily.
- 74'
First Yeading substitution sees Barima make way for Bobby Bezhadi.
- 73'
It's all Newcastle now but Saroya has the presence of mind to win a goal-kick off the shins of Milner this time.
- 72'
Good, simple passing exploits the space left by a tired Yeading defence. Taylor the ultimate beneficiary but his shot continues to rise as it sails over the bar.
- 71'
Milner and Bellamy make a mess of a move down the left when a third of the penalty area opened up before them.
- 70'
Space for Taylor to stride into before laying off to Ambrose but he can't pick out a team-mate with his cross.
- 69'
Twenty minutes to go and Yeading have riden the Newcastle storm that followed the opener. But there is little doubt as to the outcome of the tie.
- 68'
Third Newcastle substitution from Newcastle as the uncharacteristically hard working Robert goes off; on comes James Milner.
- 67'
Couple of simple slide rule passes later creates a chance for Bowyer but a fine lunging tackle from Clarke does enough to put him off and the ball flys up into the stands.
- 66'
The tireless Campbell forces Taylor into conceding a corner but it comes to nothing and Newcastle break with the lightening speed of Bellamy.
- 65'
Yeading not willing to lie down. Combination football from Campbell and Telemaque makes Boumsong earn his match fee.
- 64'
Bellamy, obviously up for it now, finds space for a shot just inside the box but he lashes it high and wide.
- 63'
Jinking run from Jenas ends with a deflected cross that finds the head of a diving Taylor. Angle at the near post is too much for him though and he only finds the side netting.
- 62'
Newcastle fans find their voice and it's a case of damage limitation from Yeading now. A drubbing would be harsh and undeserved.
- 61'
Newcastle almost strike again as a swift move down the left results in a cross that Bellamy only makes a weak contact with. Any more and it would have been three.
- 60'
It's all over now. Decent delivery from Ambrose and a routine header from Ameobis gives Preddie no chance. 2-0 Newcastle.
- 59'
Stanley, who has had a decent game, is rightly penalised for handball as a touch of panic affects the Yeading back line.
- 58'
Newcastle retain possession and another dinked in ball finds Bowyer. He attempts to lift it over the advancing keeper, does so, but also clears the bar.
- 57'
Babayaro picks out Robert with a fine long pass. His cross to the near post aimed at Ameobi, though, is well defended.
- 56'
Protain, not for the first time, spends a little time with the Yeading physio. He'll have a few bruises to remember his day by at least.
- 55'
Protain is upended by a late challenge from Taylor to give Yeading a free-kick on the half-way line.
- 54'
Series of Newcastle corners as Yeading do their best to regroup.
- 52'
How will the Non-league battles react to this. They have contributed to a good game but will have to come up with something special to get this one back now.
- 51'
Easy does it really for Newcastle. Good work by Ameobi down the right before a neat pass into the path of Bellamy. Plenty of time and space to ease across a pass on the ground to take out Preddie and leave Bowyer with a tap in. 1-0 Newcastle.
- 50'
Yeading hearts are broken as Newcastle stroll into the box and take a lead with the a simple finsih from Bowyer two yards out of an open goal.
- 49'
More possession football from Newcastle affords Bellamy a shooting opportunity from distance but it is poorly struck and is easily defended.
- 48'
Cup drama well on the cards this afternoon as news filters through that Stoke have taken a half-time lead against Arsenal at Highbury.
- 47'
Second-half starts as the first ended with Yeading still competing for every ball.
- 46'
Yeading work a short free-kcik to Clarke, 30 yards out in front of goal. He unleashes a shot that spins wide of the mark.
- 46'
Unsteady defending from Yeading invites a bit of pressure on themselves but the Non-league outfit ride it out unharmed.
- 45'
Half-time substitution for Newcastle sees the error prone Titus Bramble make way for Andy O'Brien.
- 45'
It remains level, however, and with the speed and skill of Clarke and Campbell on the counter attack, there is still a chance of an upset.
- 45'
Half-time arrives and Yeading can hold their heads up. 0-0 against their illustrious visitors and they're making a good fist of it. Saying that Newcastle have missed a number of clear cut chances and are probably on top.
- 45'
Campbell looked to be away on the right but a crunching tackle from Bramble actually turned into a decent through ball for Ameobi. Danger for Yeading averted by the alertness of Preddie who was out of his goal to clear like a flash.
- 45'
Two minutes of time to be added on.
- 44'
Robert corner falls to Ameobi but, from around the penalty spot, the Newcastle striker volleys well over the bar.
- 43'
Ameobi, this time on the left, gets a good shooting chance from an angle but Preddie is equal to what was a pretty tame effort in the end.
- 42'
Bowyer finds space down the right to cross but Yeadings rearguard manage to clear their lines.
- 41'
Protain gets his name in the referee's notebook for a late, and actually quite dangerous, foul on Ambrose.
- 40'
Newcastle again look to be getting something going before an over-hit pass spoils it all. They look the more likely to score but it is far from fluid from the Premiership side.
- 39'
Newcastle forced to make a change. N'Zogbia hobbles off with a twisted ankle to be replaced by Darren Ambrose.
- 38'
Harper sets Newcastle hearts fluttering for a moment with some less than assured kicking.
- 37'
Slight break in the play as Protain receives some treatment. Taylor caught him in the face with an arm that was a pure accident.
- 36'
Campbell sets off on a dangerous looking run but Bowyer gets back to execute a decent tackle to halt his progress.
- 35'
Poor pass from N'Zogbia gives Yeading a goal-kick and with it a bit of frustration might be creeping into Newcastle's game.
- 34'
Souness comes to the touchline to get his views across. Didn't look a happy fella either.
- 33'
Telemaque pulled up for a foul on Boumsong after the French debutant had marshalled him expertly away from the ball.
- 32'
Quick break from Newcastle after Saroya gave the ball away cheaply. Bellamy had turned inside the box to create the shooting angle but was crowded out before pulling the trigger.
- 31'
Robert picks it up and over the wall and it is dipping but not in time. Goal-kick.
- 30'
Free-kick for Newcastle right on the edge of the box as Protain tugs back Robert as he was about to let fly. Robert gets another chance then.
- 29'
Two corners in quick succession, each time sent into the crowded six yard box, come to nothing for Newcastle.
- 28'
Tide turning slightly in Newcastle's favour but it is still a fairly even contest.
- 27'
Bramble, more untidy than malicious, kicks another Yeading player up in the air. He has been warned and so gets the first yellow card of the afternoon. Bramble looks uncomfotable every time I watch him play.
- 26'
Leach does well to hold up Ameobi and force only a throw within ten yards of the corner flag. Composed defending.
- 25'
Bramble gets a talking to, lucky not to get a card, after going through the back of Campbell.
- 24'
Some meaty tackles being exchanged in the middle of the pitch now. Good stuff.
- 23'
Fantastic low, curling effort from Campbell takes it round the wall but Harper, flinging himself to his right, pulls off a top class save to deny him.
- 22'
Bowyer concedes another free-kick, this time 25 yards out almost dead centre.
- 21'
Another long range Jenas effort, from even further away, misses by some distance. Cue huge cheers from the Ding faithful.
- 20'
Newcastle retain possession and a long distance effort from Jenas draws a smart save from Preddie.
- 19'
Ameobi causing all sorts of problems and finally the ball spills to Bellamy in space 10 yards from goal. He lifts the ball over the keeper but sees it bounce back off the crossbar. Should have scored.
- 18'
Preddie in the Yeading goal requires two attempts to get hold of a corner but does safely. Expect all of Newcastle's corners to be sent in to the six-yard area, I think.
- 17'
Composed, contolled possession at the back for Newcastle until, that is, Bramble gets involved and hits a 60 yard pass. Bellammy was 40 yards away, though. Bah!
- 16'
Saroya beats N'Zogbia but his centre is over hit and harmless.
- 15'
Snap shot from Bowyer from the corner of the box is always bending high and wide of the target.
- 14'
Taylor impresses with a foraging run forward before spoiling it with a piece of school yard control when in a good crossing position.
- 13'
Yeading, as you would expect, have started brightly but Newcastle have had two glorious chances already and don't look fazed.
- 12'
Neat and tidy build up from Yeading down the right but, I hope you're sitting down when I say this, Robert tracked back Barima to make a tackle. Yes, Robert. Yes, tracking back. Ah, the magic of the cup!
- 11'
Newcastle stringing a series of passes together now but concede possession needlessly in the final third.
- 10'
Protain and Telemaque complete an unintentional one-two before the former sees a shot blocked before it got going.
- 9'
Ameobi and Taylor link well on the edge of the box. Ameobi does well to get round the back of the defence and send a low cross along the six yard box that Bowyer is inches away from turning into the net.
- 8'
More Yeading pressure, honestly, comes to nothing.
- 7'
Decent, fizzing cross sent over and Protain meets it under pressure but can only send it over the bar.
- 6'
Yeading working hard to keep possession in the Newcastle half with some success. A foul on Protain, out by the left corner flag, their reward.
- 5'
Dangerous free-kick for Yeading, 30 yards out dead centre. Stanley steps up but skies it well over the bar. Tomorrow's headline writers can rest easy for a moment.
- 4'
Bowyer pays Yeading the compliment of treating this like any other game. i.e. an early foul on Protain. Nice.
- 3'
Smart turn and pass from DJ Campbell - Yeading's top goalscorer - releases Telemaque but his dangerous run is ajudged offside. Promising for the 'home' team.
- 2'
First chance falls to the Premiership side. Robert looked surprised to latch on to an Ameobi flick on just outside the six-yard box. Space and time but no finish. Let off for Yeading.
- 1'
Early touch for debutant Boumsong. Solid header then the victim of a foul.
Yeading get us started at a blustery and noisy Loftus Road.
So the Ding (as Yeading are affectionately known) against the Bling (as Newcastle's troublesome youngsters are rather less affectinately known). It can't happen, can it? Fingers crossed - sorry Toon fans, my colours are well and truly nailed to the undergags' mast.
New signing Jean-Alain Boumsong comes in for his debut - although Alan Shearer,
still recovering from injury, is not risked and goalkeeper Stephen Harper comes
in for Shay Given who starts on the bench.
The teams are separated by 123 league places and six potential promotions. But maybe, just maybe...
The painters and decorators of part-time Yeading are hoping to continue a weekend of third-round FA Cup giant-killing as they take on
Newcastle at Loftus Road.
Captain David Clarke led out a team which cost nothing against a Newcastle
side boasting £30million of talent.
Newcastle boss Graeme Souness, however, paid the non-league outfit the respect
of fielding a strong side.
It could the shock of the round (with a nod to Exeter). It could be a walkover. Join us at 1.45pm GMT.
