Despite a series of chances for both sides we're going into halftime at St. James' Park looking at a 0-0 draw. For the first twenty minutes or some Newcastle were well on top against Manchester United, with Joey Barton in particular wasting a massive chance early on to test Edwin van der Sar. That's not to say that the hosts aren't still getting some opportunities to attack - they are - but they're no longer keeping their guests penned up to the point they were in the early going.
Newcastle United Vs. Manchester United: 0-0 At Half Time
Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez have both had excellent chances to open the scoring only to be denied by Tim Krul - Rooney in particular has been excellent throughout the match, and his relatively free role is letting him drift into space with the home side more or less totally unable to pick him up. There are goals in this one, though - both sides' attacks are playing too well to see this game end scoreless.
