It would ge nice to watch Cardiff and Southampton battle out the remaining relegation spot.

Was on the enhanced yesterday as well as a five match BTTS acc. Usually just withdraw and don't risk any winnings but I've used some of it in BTTS double on big two matches today.

Just great to enjoy the second half after we'd scored so early. Watching each and every move develop with a chance to score further goals constantly. Not enjoyed a match so much for too long.

One more and let me enjoy the football.

Saying on TSN that Almiron was going 30kmp on that sprint.

They've won the toss, kicking towards Gallowgate 1st half.

Richie has done a lot better than I'd have predicted. Longer term he needs replacing but, like Hayden, he deserves his place after recent performances.

Once Ashley goes there needs to be some recognition of KK either in a statue or stand renaming in his honour. Saddens me to contemplate him going without another show of how thankful we are for all he did for us and our club.

Fair enough, Keegan moreso for me but I always respect others opinions.

Genuine question, do you not include Keegan in the " greats" of Newcastle United?

At the moment I'm confident. Might change after tonight's matches and probably will by 3 tomorrow regardless.

Noticed Cardiff play at home v Watford on Friday night, the wrong result will increase the pressure even more.

Taken from groomers " Will Grigg is dire, you're defence don't have to try" .

The grandma's orchestrating the near riot there, police need to get to her before Tuesday's match or there could be some serious disorder.

I'm never overly confident of a win but have tried to look at it objectively.

Looking at the relative form of both teams I reckon a 1-0 win seems most likely. Hopefully the addition of Almiron gives us more in the final third and we're able to win more comfortably.

Loads of them were overly confident of 9 points from these 3 " easy" home matches. Hopefully the lack of a decent winning streak continues and they have to be content with a play off place. They'll brag about getting to wembo but in reality it'll be massively underachieving.

Glad I decided to watch now. Still going to score though aren't they.

I'd imagine the new and returning (from injury) squad members will get most game time but there'll be the usual high numbers of substitutions.

Happy birthday to the man who brought my best times supporting NUFC.

Saying on SSN that Blackpool have best away defensive record in the 3rd division.

Hopefully see Barlaser on Sky Friday vs sunderland.

Definitely one of the greats. RIP

It's a very interesting point that Longstaff probably would not have been given this opportunity had our "1st choice" central midfield pairing not been unavailable. I'm sure there are numerous similar situations around other clubs throughout their histories. I'm not one to get overly excited or enthused but these recent performances are not some flash in the pan but are a player who knows his position is calm and makes good choices with the ball. Watching him talking to Rafa during the match had me saying to myself we've got a player here.

Still think a draw would be a good return from this.
