Newcastle United will beg Rafa Benitez to stay - even if they are relegated to the Championship http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/04/20/newcastle-united-will-beg-rafa-benitez-to-stay---even-if-they-ar/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter The bit in bold is interesting.

It's easier to assume he'll leave, but I'm not sure he wants to walk away. He's a noble bloke and seems genuinely excited to be here. I dunno, stranger things have happened.

Stoke, Chelsea, Everton & Watford is a great run of games for the mackems. Each is very winnable right now - I can see at least 2 happening.

I'll downgrade to 'good' They're on good form but we're the lowest priority for them right now. We'll be on them from the start.

Well all of a sudden this looks winnable. I know it's Anfield and we're always shit there, but it's the perfect time to play them and we're riding some sort of wave. It's been a weird season where everyone is beating everyone and Leicester are champions-elect. No reason why we can't beat a distracted Liverpool side. Plus, they lost to Palace at home.

He's just outstanding. I have complete faith in everything he does and he's making the improbable seem possible. He's made this team unrecognisably good and you can see how much they believe in him. Absolutely love the bloke.

I was one of those who likened him to Obertan, based on his debut and what I'd seen at Spurs/England. Must admit though, he looks a lot better in our team - our best attacking threat. Very impressed

1 point isn't a great help but the performance was strong and we've got momentum - to the point where I'm almost confident of getting something at Anfield. I definitely think we can survive but it depends on Sunderland. We'll finish above Norwich but I think Sunderland's games are kind. Down to an 8.

That was class, our lot are unrecognisable. Will take the draw but maybe we should've won it. But aye, great effort.

Future captain.

Man City actually went strong

Douglas says Cisse starts, Gini benched for Ayoze.

Kompany starts. Might not be a bad thing, if he's rusty.

Oh aye, a win puts us in a great position. It's asking a lot though.

This is one of those pre-matches where I get carried away with reasons why we can win this one, then get reminded at 0-1 that City are still quite good.

I get that Chelsea might roll over for Leicester to stop Spurs, but they're the reigning champions - isn't it embarrassing to see Leicester City crowned new champions at your stadium 12 months later?

Foolishly excited. Don't know whether it's momentum, or the fact City will have 2 away games in 72 hours with a huge Champions League semi around the corner.

For the Hollywood film, he'll get a 3-game ban and Spurs close the gap to 1 point. Then on the final day Vardy heroically scores Leicester's winner at Chelsea.

Harry Kane :clap:

His head will explode when it becomes 2/5.

Every remaining game is against either a distracted team or a shit team, with Spurs potentially having nothing to play for. We'll take it to the wire.

Marchisio out of Euro 2016 with torn ACL.

Chelsea (a) can be tricky, although today's probably not the best time to say that

Why is it you dislike Leicester again? I just absolutely, categorically don't want them to win the league. Even though they will.

Ah man, so close
