NEWCASTLE MADE CERTAIN WITH EARLY GOALS
Blackpool in the second half nearly won a point in a game which had seemed irretrievably lost in the first half hour. Match was open until Newcastle’s third and late goal. Blackpool defence was often scattered and outpaced under Newcastle's first half pressure.

The simple facts of the Matthews case YOU would think, hearing some people talk this week, that the Blackpool FC directors were operating a bucket shop instead of a football club.
