Williamson to score in a Newcastle win. Howay lads.

I honestly can't wait for it to be over. Me neither, but a few weeks in I bet I'll be missing it.

Think I'm going to walk into town to watch the match just for something to do other than sitting around stressing about it in the hours leading up to kick off.

My stomach is churning with nerves.

I have a feeling we'll win 3-1.

I get the impression I'm not going to enjoy anything about this match.

I hate this thread as much as I loved the "we can't be caught by..." in the Championship season.

The old lady who sits next to me always shouts "keep it out!" She means well... but that's somewhat obvious.

So sick of having to worry about the results in all these other matches and not just be able to follow them as a neutral. I want the season over.

Cheered me right up, this thread.

Fuck I've just thought of the prospect of Forest coming up and us going down. I'll have to find a new family.

It had better be one of those random occasions where Shola is immense.

I'm confused - I thought we were being charged over 12 months now? The following years will be.

Flashscores will do a noise for goals and HT/FT. You need to add the match to "My Games" by ticking it. Beat me to it. Handy for watching my accumulators die.

I don't think I could stomach a 2-2. I just picture us at that scoreline with our backs to the wall for the last 10 minutes, last ditch defending and clearances off the line etc.

Hope is sneaking in.

Azrur? It's been backed from 4's to 9/4 this morning. Most backed horse of the day - I've lost the value now but I'm an absolute sucker for following a heavily backed nag. Aye that's the one. Think it was 4/1 when I put it on yesterday. I know nothing about racing but my mate who's bang into it sent me a tip and I usually chuck a few quid on when he does that.

Elgin City, Bolton and Charlton - few quid. Some horse beginning with A in the 5.35 at Newmarket. Can't remember the name. £2.50 e/w.

I think ive slipped in to acceptence mode. I think I have too.

I've only seen us win twice away, once when I was in the home end at the mackems and at Peterborough in the Championship. For many years I was considered a jinx.

I was talking to a mackem a while ago who was talking about N'Diaye but kept calling him Mbiwa.. At first I tried the thing where you just say the correct name in the hope they'll twig on but eventually I had to snap and blurt out "YANGA-Mbiwa plays for us. You're thinking of N'Diaye" before the rage took over completely.

I normally like a yellow shirt but that one looks like the bampiest material I could physically imagine. Not keen on the home one at all, but it might grow on me.

I feel like I'm being overly negative about relegation at the moment but last time I went to Villa on that last day genuinely convinced we'd stay up. I'm not falling into that trap again.

It's the men's shirt!

I've got the orange shirt in a small if any skinny bastard wants to borrow it.
