Middlesbrough 0-0 Newcastle United

34 mins - First real chance - Martins spins and hits the Boro bar with Turnbull helpless watching ... close call.

39 mins - Downing crosses and Alves heads over, Boro's best chance so far.

Half-Time - Both sides are playing well, not many chances but competitive. Bassong and Coloccini are looking good at the center of Newcastle's defence. Taylor might not get back into the side! Owen quiet ... worrying for Boro?

47 mins - Downing crosses, Bassong gets a great defencive header in.

65 mins - Boro are playing better - Mark Viduka comes on for Newcastle, his first game of the season, against his former club Middlesbrough. He was greeted by a chorus of boos. Not sure why Obafemi Martins has been taken off, though he's been better than Owen.

70 mins - The fog descends further - Vuduka has a good shot blocked. Alves breaks but Enrique is equal to the challenge at left back.Good stuff.

78 mins - Boro top scorer Mido comes on for Jeremie Aliadiere.

87 mins - The referee gives Boro a free kick near Newcastle's box. Has Christmas come early? That was never a foul. Fortunately Alves hits over. Justice is done ... well sort of.

90 mins +2 - Newcastle attacking in time added on. Vuduka spins but his shot is blocked.

A goaless draw win please Kinnear more than Southgate.
