Match Preview: Sunday,24 February 2013, One of the important match Newcastle v Southampton of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Newcastle v Southampton streaming is available here.Newcastle v Southampton Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at St James' Park on 2/24/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Separated by goal difference alone, both Newcastle and Southampton will be well aware of the significance of defeating the other.Victory would take either to the 30-point mark and potentially as many as six points clear of the relegation zone with 11 games to play. The phrase 'breathing space' springs to mind. A year ago the Geordies ended February in the top six and with genuine Champions League aspirations - their phenomenal season earned them a Europa League adventure, which continued in Kharkiv on Thursday to mixed emotions among their supporters.There's a feeling on Tyneside that their ultimate exit may well ensure that any lingering relegation threat will quickly evaporate once the demanding Thursday/Sunday regime has concluded.In truth, though, Newcastle's outlook had already been improved significantly by their productive January recruitment drive - a little je ne sais quoi providing them with an essential boost following a six-game winless run.Their French connection subsequently earned them their first back-to-back wins of the season. The defeat at Spurs in their last league outing seems unlikely to dampen their new found joie de vivre , especially with St James' Park hosting a 'French Day' for the visit of Saints.That said, their opponents this weekend arrive in equally or perhaps arguably even higher spirits. Saints' well deserved win against Manchester City last time out merely confirmed their steadily improving form. With just one league defeat in nine games, Southampton have clearly proven that their acclimatisation process is now complete. That it took them time to do so is surely understandable when considering that successive promotions thrust them at high velocity into the top division.It's also worth noting that unlike their European-occupied hosts, they'll have had a full 15-day rest ahead of their arrival at St James' Park.
