I doubt Hughton thinks he'll be in charge next season if we go up. If he is then prepare fully for a relegation of mackem proportions. We'll sink like s***. So where is Crumpy? I miss his insightful, unbiased views.

I bet by the time he finally gets back in goal regularly he'll be a shadow of the player he was.

If we get reasonable results in the next 2 games, I think that's basically it settled. We've then proven we can beat the dross, we can compete with the top teams, we can put runs together, we can bounce back. And at that point, I genuinely will be looking at top half for the season. But if we don't, God damn it's gonna be some gloom and doom in here again.

Who knows, maybe those still saying yes just feel like this is too good to be true. I still wouldn't say yes, but I still feel like this is too easy and something has to happen to make it harder, this being Newcastle.

Pushing for, depending on just how tight the league finishes. Would doubt it actually getting you into Europe.

Been a while. Couldn't stop smiling. Especially at this stage of the season when you'd imagine we'd be slipping to mid-table/lower rather than moving upwards.

I can currently see 15 worse teams than us

Ah well

50 points? This season I think that'll be top half, maybe pushing for Europe.

I don't think that's really his fault to be honest, it's atrocious from start to finish, the intros, the pundits, it'd take someone pretty damn good to make that a good show.

Did he start for them then, I take it? Can't believe he was only getting sub appearances. If Mancini actually used the attacking players at his disposal I'd argue they'd still be pushing Chelsea at the top.

On Krul's side now. He's fairly been given his chance, and it's his shirt to lose, just like it was Harper's. Shame for Harper, but it's deserved.

He'd be a bargain for a hair dye business' advert.

Can't work out if these ones or the Halloween ones were worse.

nah cos i heard it about Andy Cole before he Fucked Off. Was going to say yeahh, whoever it's from it's still heartening. But fair point.

My main thought is there's another defender in line, as Ranger drifts in, he's going to meet him. Surely?

I don't know, but by God it's sexy.

Outsanding analysis from Mr. Cole.

What about Merieles? Been unimpressed everytime I've had a glimpse of him.

Must admit I was surprised. Not a good knowledge of the laws of the game, mind. I initially thought he wasn't deep enough in their half, and was too wide to warrant a red.

At least they showed the red card...

The thing is, it's Jimmy Bullard. Kind of makes me wonder if it's a fake or really him

Oh they have to show that one don't they

Ohh my God. What the fuck match was I watching? I bow down to the Beeb's superior knowledge, we had a right smash and grab today!

You serious? You talking about those little vignettes before the highlights start? 'Cause I find the majority cringeworthy.
