Arsenal wont win the league.... they just seem to be scraping to many draws at home... sure there was someone else at home recently they only just equalized in the last minute or so

If they close this out and win, Boro will be safe... that will be 1 less in the race for relegation

Birmingham will be as good a test as any to see if they are up for the fight. Their fans will make it an intimidating atmosphere so its one of those situations where, if we are not up for it, we will crumble. Here's hoping.

Nah. We havent had a bunch of shit result go against us today like previous weeks so lets try and gain a little confidence from that. Mind set has to be that if 3 points can be picked up on Monday then we can start to create a gap again.

Aye but so did Watford

It has probably been lost in the mists of time but back in 86 or something like that, when Gazza was just coming to prominence for us, Football Focus (Bob Wilson presented it) did an absolutely magic feature on him. Showing him fishing and training and bits like that. It was the one where Jackie Milburn said that "He will be the best in the world.... best in the world". Was an absolutely magic piece and was perhaps the first time I ever felt really proud to be from the North East and to be a Newcaslte United fan. Was about 14 at the time.

No it weren't. well that killed the mood

I want to be encouraged by everyone who uses this predictor thing but I honesly would not be surprised if we dont win another game this season

You beat us on pens a few years back, FA Cup I think, even Shearer missed. League Cup I think it was.. when Rooney first started appearing for them

Not wanting to piss on the fire but I am sure when he comes back he will tell us all about his Cup Winner's medal :-[

So no chance of him coming here then

Yes but not without Torres. He is Liverpool this season

Seconded. No contest. Has to be. I wasn't at the game, but I had my own little bit of human drama. I'd avoided tuning into the latest scores by going out. I switched Grandstand on with 10 minutes of the match to go, and the score came up as 0-0. My heart sank because we needed to win. Then, as I was watching, the score changed on the screen to 1-0. Moments like that don't come round too often. I was in the old Milburn paddock, almost in direct line with the line of the shot as it flew in. Was very much one of those slow motion moments where you expect a defender to get in the way or the keeper to reach across. Have never expereienced delirium like it before or since.

I know it cant really be possible but it does make you wonder if stranger forces are at work :-[

Has to be Kelly's v Portsmouth. Apart from the fact that it was important, it was only 6 minutes from the end so the tension was getting unbearable

Thats going to be the title of the end of season DVD

I dont remember being this scared since we lost at home to Crystal Palace under Dalglish. I really thought we were gonners that night. Somehow, I think this has been coming for us. Depite the highs Kevin previously and then under Sir Bobby, we have flirted a bit with the drop under Dalglish, Gullit, Souness and Roeder.. maybe, eventually, our luck has just run out

No sure about finished.. more just that they have been found out as having been previously surrounded at previous clubs with other good players and really arent as good as people thought they were and certainly arent good enough to inspire their team mate which for me is what defines a "great" player

Granted he doesnt look the same player but I still maintain that if he was in a good side, whether Newcastle or not, and they were playing well with confidence, he would still get a decent amount of goals.

If in doubt, blame Owen again

I voted us but should have waited until next Tuesday to decide. The Brum match with tell us an awful lot

Am not sure a point would be such a bad thing so long as it is followed with a win at home to Fulham. Reason to take confidence from a draw with Birmingham - score draw would be nice if thats what its going to be Defeat would be a shitter of the highest order We cannot afford to lose at Birmingham, not least because confidence would then be at rock bottom for the Fulham game. Im really worried about this Birmingham game, they are gonna be really up for it and they are playing ok at home. I would settle for a draw at Birmingham and a win against Fulham. The Fulham and Reading home games are the must win games. I have a nasty feeling Reading are going to have a decent end to the season Were spirited against us in the second half, then won the next two games. However, look how many places they've jumped in the table on the back of a minor improvement. That could happen to any side in the relegation mix. Fingers crossed mate

He is such an utter cock
