I have to admit to being prepared for the worst but I think in 2 weeks from now we will have our answer. I would even dare to suggest that a loss at Birmingham next Monday will near enough seal our fate I just want the season to be over because I hate being a miserable fuck around my family. Its just not fair on them.

I have had enough. Good night all.

I am praying that that little ankle jarring that Torres appeared to get will have him rested for Saturday. Still wont be enough to avoid defeat but could be the difference between a 2-0 and a 4 or 5-0

If luck was on our side we would be playing West Ham on Saturday

How does Barry Horne get a job co-commentating on the Liverpool game on Sky. I can hardly understand a word he is saying

not the usual amount of european giants in there are there. Without doubt an English winner this year. Knowing their luck I will go with Liverpool again. Whoever is the weakest of that 8, Liverpool will draw them

Guilty as charged of more paranoia but on ITV text tonight, at the bottom of the football healines.. something like page 412 the headline was : FL2 : Magpies agree deal to pay off Sam. The story was about Notts County and some player called Hector Sam. Is it me or did they deliberately make that headline to suggest it was something to do with us

I heard Alan Brazil having a pop at this this morning saying that KK should have said "No.. we are concentrating on the league and Premiership survival". Irani told him straight away that it had been agreed ages ago and it was for charity... I thought it was funny... helps take the pressure off and puts a smile on the face of the players for a change

Brilliant Arsenal.. great result but also well done for just getting a point at Birmingham just 2 weeks ago- fuckers !!!

So Sky have hauled Allardyce in to watch one of their games on SSN. Its paranoia I know but you get the impression that they love taking on failed Newcastle managers just to wind us up

Aye but against West Ham in the PL

Just flicked over at half time and saw him. They are fixated with ex Toon Managers.... Gullit, Souness, Allardyce.

Saw him at Sea World in Orlando last June... seemed happy with life !

Those teams are scrapping for their lives and picking up points. I don't know who they're playing but teams like Tottenham who have nowt to play for might just hand them the points. Where the league matches fall in relation to the Uefa cup games might well have a significant bearing on how Spurs' results go(assuming of course that we get past PSV).. I can also envisage them playing noticeably worse away compared to performances at home. Newcastle, Boro and Bolton are at WHL, we've still to meet Wigan and Reading away. FWIW, I've just gone through the BBC predictor again and my bottom 3 are still Derby, Fulham and Bolton, Newcastle come 16th, a point ahead of Wigan and 4 pts ahead of the drop zone. I've always said I can't see Newcastle going down because there are too many poor teams at the bottom. KK & Co will have the summer to start putting things right. I seem to be a lot more positive than quite a few here. After Readings win on Saturday and assuming Fulham and Derby are gone, we are the poorest of the poor at the bottom

Looks like we made a few back pages looking at SSN. "Keegan in crisis talks" - a typical headline.

Cant believe another thread has turned into an Owen argument

I think its fair to say, that barring a ridiculous gamble by one of the top 6, or we go down and he decides to take a big drop in wages just to stay in the premiership, Owen will be with us next season. I would like to thik that if he keeps fit, and with a summer working with KK and the pre-season signings that he will make, Owen will be able to regain some of the goal scoring prowess that he had. Here's hoping because an on form Owen cant be a bad thing to have in your starting line up.

Thanks for that, Little Geordie. Just rumours again though. We have to take them with as big a pinch of salt as the negative rumours

So more long high balls onto Owens head it is then

We were much, much more entertaining under SBR. Aye. They are what i hoped we could be under SA. mackems.gif Is that you in your signature? No he never. He didn't get near touching the ball the cheeky little b******. One angle suggested he got the faintest of touches imo. I still don't think he touched it. I sit behind that goal and have a great view of the box. Good win for us today though. When do you play Pool mate ? The 30th mate. Huge, huge match. See also April 27th, Everton v Villa. I'm going to be punching redial the day those tickets go on sale. Although, in fairness, a lot of football to play between now and then. I'll be quite happy to see a gap develop between us and the teams behind us rather than worry about Everton or Liverpool ahead of us (and, to be honest, i still think your neighbours will take 4th). At least there is something worth watching in the PL this season. Newcastle United relegated will be the major headline of the summer... champions relegated to the inside pages

Cant say fairer than that mate

2 of our better(?) performances this season against Blackburn and we have got fuck all out of the 2 games. Bastards.

Understatement mate. Be very interesting if Rafa has a CL game to prepare for the week after Unfortunately not. They've got Man Utd the week before though. Aye. Business end of the season alright. Not looking forward to it at all

Because Barnsley got them on a day when their players couldnt score from 6 yards. When we play Liverpool, they score from 60 yards. Similar good fortune wont be with us

The 30th mate. Huge, huge match. Understatement mate. Be very interesting if Rafa has a CL game to prepare for the week after
