Robert Lee: "Chelsea will be an interesting test for Newcastle now. It really is a chance to see just how far they've come in the last few months.
"After their tough start when they played Manchester United and Arsenal, now they face another of the top four, so they must show they can do it against one of the top teams.
"The fact that Chelsea are also in the title race also makes it exciting.
"With the way that Newcastle play teams at home and Chelsea coming up to Newcastle knowing they must win or it's game over as far as the title is concerned.
"That all makes for a great game. It was the first time I had bumped into Kevin at West Ham since he got the job and it was great to see him.
"It was good result in the end. You are never out of it when you have such quality strikers on the pitch like Kevin has.
"Oba Martins is a quality player and that showed at the weekend, and then you have Mark Viduka and Michael Owen.
"With people like that at 2-0 or even 3-0 you are still in with a shout. It's the only way Kevin can play and his aim is to entertain people.
"I think that will be the Newcastle way now. And in the summer you will start to see a few exciting players coming to St James's Park."

Made 298 league appearances for Charlton before moving to Newcastle for £700,000. England international who has been a superb servant to Newcastle. Was going to sign for Middlesbrough but Keegan told him Newcastle was nearer to London. The little liar! Signed for Derby County soon after Warren Barton but couldn't save them from relegation.
