So we have 5 teams in the scrap,newcastle scored a crucial 3 points today against middlesbrough giving us some hope of staying in the premiership:D:D:D

The upcoming fixtures:
Portsmouth v Sunderland
Sunderland v Chelsea

Newcastle v Fulham
Aston Villa v Newcastle

Middlesbrough v Aston Villa
West Ham v Middlesbrough

West Brom v Liverpool
Blackburn v West Brom

Bolton v Hull City
Hull City v Man Utd

Newcastle have the pick of the fixtures imo.Should be able to get a point out of fulham perhaps 3.Aston villa is also a game we may get something out of.

I think its safe to say WBA are out,looking at their fixtures.Middlesbrough heading that way.Hull might get something out of the bolton game but nothing from the united game I believe.

Sunderland also have some tough fixtures and they will get dragged in to the scrap for safety.

So heres how I think it might end up:

16 16 Sunderland
​
37
17 18 Newcastle United
​
37
18 17 Hull City
​
34
19 19 Middlesbrough
​
32
20 20 West Bromwich Albion
​
31

Your thoughts?

That team needs a complete rehaul... I reckon if you promote a few young'uns you will do yourselves a world of good. Newcastle has a brilliant record for shunting out good players.
 
We need to keep hold of guthie,gutirez,bassong,martins,coloccini,taylor,k nolan,barton,harper,enrique.
The rest can go,including owen,fat viduka,ameobi,butt,duff,other taylor,loverkrans etc etc.
 
You're insane. I rather play an Arsenal youth teamer than coloccini. He was horrible this season. Barton isn;t worth the hassle, he will only get you the wrong headlines. Otherwise, the list looks pretty good.
 
Coloccini needs to pick his game up I agree,but i'll still give him a chance.Barton is a toss but the guy is crazy talented.
Would be a pity to see brough go down,I like southgate but rather them than us...As for sunderland,well if it were up to me they would be relegated after their first game :D

Why am I not surprised... :D
 
I don't hate them because of the rivalry,I just hate them!I like brough who are also rivals but the second keane went there I lost the plot :D
 
I loved Sunderland when they were coming up with whatsisface (that guy who scored loads of goals). It was a nice team to watch. then lost interest.
 
I loved chelski till they signed my hero sheva...:D was so pissed when I found out he was leaving milan.If toon went down I'd probly support chelski or Everton in the EPL.
 
I thought Chelsea were on a superb path until Sheva and Ballack arrived. So many better players could have been bought... *sigh*
 
Sheva was IMBA then,the best striker in the world at the time.Should have stayed at Milan though.Idiot,I burnt my Sheva Milan shirt.serias!
 
I'm backing Newcastle to stay up. Boro won't be missed. Hull need to sort themselves out asap. West Brom getting 4 points from their last two games would make things interesting :)

You guys catch last night's game? It was of the hook!
Newcastle celebrated like mad men when they scored that second goal. Was a real masterstroke from Shearer to bring Martins on for Owen. Can you say Messiah? :)

I hope Newcastle stay up, they are our whipping boys in the League after all!

Here's a vid of last night's goals

You though they went crazy,you should have seen me after martins goal,my dog almost attacked me.:D
I would not go so far as to say we are the whipping boys,our goal diff is only -17 :p
If we are still in the league next season I don't think this will happen again.
