Hull and Barnsley with a game in hand, against each other tomorrow night. One or both of the teams immediately above the drop zone guaranteed points. Excellent.

Looking at those fixtures I reckon WBA and Stoke will go. Hard to call the last place but Brighton have awful fixtures. Interesting that it's stoke v palace and stoke v Swansea last 2 games of season.

I always think along those lines. Average a point a game and it SHOULD keep you up.

Depends. My first payment was July and my last payment for this season comes out tonorrow. Think they've taken the last payment for this season on the 1st of this month so 1st payment for next season should be March. Never been so close to chucking it, with a growing feeling of going through the motions as i turn up for games. As has been said above it would be typical of my luck if i binned it and the takeover happened. I'm hanging onto the words off KKs' banner quote from the other night.

1st payment in Feb or March?

The 381 fans they took to Gateshead were more indicitave of their real support so while they're entitled to enjoy their day out, I for one won't be in awe of their 'magnificent' support this weekend.

That's like saying Bournemouth/Brighton/Huddersfield only just beat us as they were all by the odd goal. The important thing is the win and not how comfortable it was.

Was great hearing the angry makems on radio Newcastle after the games today knowing the toon had another 3 pts safely gathered. Delicious start to the year ☺.

Maybe not. Seems too good to be true, but they are in real danger and are as likely as we are to go down I reckon.

Predicted they'd bring a few more big game daytrippers but wasn't expecting 7K+.

Thankfully they've stopped the dry train thing for now. Transport police were on board and were called to one of the carriages on our train back last night. There was also an announcement to stop people smoking from the windows of the train doors at one of the stations.

Was one of my favourite footballing moments of the last 10 years tbf Must admit to feeling more relieved at that goal than anything else. Was worried after they led at HT.

Aye. Ultimately we won nowt, but they must have been caking it for over half of that decade of so many near misses. There was THAT season when we nearly won the league and then a couple of fa cup finals followed by a semi final. Not to mention regular top 6 finishes. Something they're yet to experience in the premier league btw.

He simply can't think hanging on to the club and running the risk of another relegation can be financially beneficial surely. Worryingly i get the impression with him that he'd rather lose money than let someone get the upper hand over him.

They had 381 fans at Gateshead. Probably be about 3000 at st James. 'You've only come to see Newcastle!'

They're doing well in their league but I watched them at Gateshead yesterday and they were very lucky to break Gateshead down after 40 mins. Play should have been stopped after a nasty collision. Gateshead were still in the game until Luton 2nd after an hour so we should be ok but this is nufc.

B2B relegation seems too good to be true but a bit of a gap is opening up between them and 4th bottom Brum i see. Gotta be scaring the s**t out of them even if they do get out of it.

Sounding a real statto here but i'm sure i've heard that Forest scraped survival on GD last season with 51 pts. Based on that it'll mean that if, on average, they win every other of their remaining 28 games they'll still only be on 53 pts. A tall order given how they've been so far. Please let them go into oblivion.

Harry Dwinks?

Really are cringe worthy up there. Singing your support is f***ing shit to fans who have travelled all the way from Swansea/Southampton for example. Do like the odd burst of "Where did you park your mini bus" to people with small away followings from closer to home mind.

Yeap, forbidden when it's a loan deal. Makes sense. Is this a new rule? I can remember being at Portsmouth when the original Lua Lua, not Kazenga, came off the bench to get a late equaliser against us once.

might be better as a striker the way they're playing.

To where? They already have a wall on one side of them meaning less stewards. Unless they build a wall to box them in where else can they go if money saving is the priority? Just a RUMOUR.

Heard a rumour at the weekend that they might shift the away fans to save on stewarding. Please let them go bust.

I can hear that ringing out from beer soaked concourses at away games like. Excellent!
