Sick of Huddersfield doing this. Pricks.

Mitro and Murphy are good enough to cover him, it's just a terrible time to lose your star striker. Damn.

Bob Madley is ref for our game at Brighton. Oh joy.

He sold Gestede and McCormack in January. Jordan Ayew too, but at least he got left-back Neil Taylor from that

Win the next one and we can get away with 1 or maybe 2 defeats in that away streak.

Was all set for a nervy 2nd half until Villa decided not to bother. The sweet sweet revenge of Lansbury's OG made it pretty comfortable and it was nice to see us pass the ball around with arrogance after that. Beat Bristol City and I think we're good.

That's pretty standard tbh. Man Utd have done the same for quite a while now. Never heard of this before but it makes a lot of sense. Lots of Universities now have a London campus too.

Not so certain they'll stay up, like.

It's 3 into 2 now.

Think the Huddersfield replay is just before playing us too, so that's good. Shame about Brighton, but Leeds don't really matter to us.

Happy Birthday, Bobby I often wonder if his team was actually better than Keegan's, he just had much tougher competition (Wenger's Arsenal, Chelsea with Abramovich etc). Maybe that's just bias because I can only remember his team

True. Because Reading players have the power to just win the match if they want to. Must be great when they all agree to win. That's a very pedantic view. You are probably too young to remember this, but many years ago the mackems got relegated because Coventry and another team, might have been West ham, who were both relegation candidates, kicked off late because of traffic problems. When the mackems game finished, they were told the score at half time and they realised that if they drew they would both be safe. If either of them won the match, then the other would be relegated. Accordingly, they both played out an entire half not putting each others goal under pressure. Thats why on the final day of each season all teams kick off at 3pm in order to avoid just that scenario happening again. Whilst the likes of Reading have no god given right to win a game that they a drawing, they can still bust a gut trying to win it, especially if we had lost and they realised they could catch us if they won all three points. Hypothetical, I know, but if it happened and we missed out on a promotion spot we would all be spitting feathers at the unfairness of it. Well that situation was different because they conspired to draw, just like Sweden v Denmark at Euro 2004.

Can't believe Wenger is still there. Surely tonight is the first step in his farewell.

8 wins gives us 90 points. has anyone ever not gone up with 90 points? Just Sunderland in '98. There's even been some years where the champions don't reach 90. A 2pts per game average will get us promoted (92 from 46) so we only need 6 points from Villa/Bristol City/Brighton/Huddersfield/Reading to maintain that.

Decent night, although Huddersfield are a huge concern. As long as we win these next 2, think we'll do it. Then just 2 or 3 points from that nasty away trio.

I think most football supporters, not just Newcastle fans, would be glad to see them get their comeuppance for the way they tried to cover up the Johnson case and that a lot of their fans have continued to support him since. And how they've stunk up the Premier League for years, genuinely offering nothing.

PP have him as favourite to replace Ranieri. I found that funny

An unspectacular but above-average week, but would've been better if I captained Sanchez over Zlatan. Already brought in Jakupovic and Costa for Cech and Zlatan next week.

Want Leicester to win as I have more faith in Swansea getting out of it.

Huddersfield the only worry now

Aye, sure he is

Class from Defoe and the club For all the paedo-loving, flying of banners and being racist to your star striker's mam, they sometimes show they're not all bad.
