St. James' Park
Barclays Premier League
(Attendance: 41,915)
After two successful games on the road over the last week, Newcastle United return to St. James' Park this weekend to face Stoke City on Sunday afternoon. And, as ever, your official matchday programme is on the ball with another packed issue.
There's an exclusive interview with Argentine ace Jonás Gutiérrez, who tells us why he's loving life back in the Barclays Premier League and gives us the low-down on his World Cup experience in the summer.
We also catch up with right-back James Perch, who has settled in quickly to life on Tyneside and more than held his own following his summer move from Nottingham Forest.
There's also a special one-to-one with goal hero Shola Ameobi, who takes a look back at a decade at the Club and picks out some of his favourite memories from the last ten years.
Elsewhere we chat to former Newcastle and Stoke defender Andy Griffin about his time on Tyneside and his affection for both clubs, plus there are match reports from our thrilling victories over Chelsea and Everton.
Our opposition pages bring you everything you need to know about our visitors from the Potteries, including an interview with former Tottenham and West Ham midfielder Matthew Etherington.
Club Historian Paul Joannou once again brings us some more gems from the United archives and we also get a view from the press box, with BBC Radio Newcastle's John Anderson.
Manager Chris Hughton and skipper Kevin Nolan pen their regular Programme columns plus there's the latest instalment of our all-new 'The World According To' feature, with United central defender Mike Williamson.
The programme will be available from outlets around St. James' Park on matchday. And if you can't wait until then, you can get your hands on it beforehand from the Club Store at the stadium and at The Back Page bookstore on St. Andrews Street.
And if you can't get to Tyneside this weekend - or any other weekend - you can order the programme online and subscribe here.
