Finally a win. Last one was IIRC in boxing day. But five point gap to playoffs...

TOON concede two goals in the final ten minutes to take home a draw.
These bleeding of points may yet bite us in the backside come the end of the season.

Well, lucky for the TOON, you have Uncle Woy down below, and the shine has dulled on his project as of late, hasn't it.
And Alan "You feel vulnerable when hearing things not being said" Pardew is still running things at West Brom, though not for long I'd reckon, so you've got that going for you as well. So you only need one of Swansea, Stoke, or Southampton to maintain form and you'll stay up. Moyes is likely to botch things as well. TOON will probably survive by being less bad than the others You've got the best goal difference of the bottom clubs too. POOL won, 4-1 over West Ham. TOON visit Anfield next weekend.

I'm thinking at this point it's still any three from eight.

I'd agree except for Albion, they're well and truly out of it I reckon, though stranger things have happened.
Traditionally, 38 points is enough to ensure safety, and coincidentally perhaps, is the exact number of points that a team would claim having drawn every match. Three wins from their final 10 would hit exactly 38, if they lost the other 7. Seems a safe bet. Huddersfield and West Brom at home, and Watford away are must-wins I'd say. No reason they can't nick a few more points from Southampton and Everton. The rest of their matches look difficult, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and the Gunners, who look short of everything at the moment, so you never know. Leicester too, another opportunity there. I have faith in the Rafalution.

TOON are away to Liverpool today and I'll take a point right now and be grateful.

I am all for the Rafalution gaining momentum, however not today.
Good luck in the match. Rafa's Return.

About 35 minutes from now I'm going to sit back and enjoy, what I hope will be, a little miracle like 0-0 or 1-1 or a bigger miracle like 0-1 or 1-2
It's Liverpool Vs Newcastle if anyone doubted. Markus |

You have to admire Rafa. Well, you don't HAVE to, but you know what I mean. He really is a master tactician. He has an extraordinary ability to set his team up to counter the opposition, to nullify their strengths.
I'm not a TOON supporter, but honestly I hope they can be rid of Ashley soon, so that Rafa might get in the players he needs. A club like Newcastle shouldn't be yo-yo'ing every other season. I always mock the phrase 'too big to fail', as anything can happen in football. But Newcastle are too big to face this sort of uncertainty every season. The fans deserve better. I can only imagine the frustration you Geordies must feel when you realize what could be, then have to look at that smug face and know your great club is little more than an investment and marketing vehicle. Ashley Out!

Liverpool difficult to beat at home especially against teams aiming for a draw the Scousers weakness has been away results for many seasons
If there was a league for £££ spent per goal Newcastle would probably be in the top third If I was a Toons supporter I would be more than frustrated by this and what seems to me unconsistantant strategies. Fitness and a lack of of quality on the subs bench obviously not helping I watched 3 Toon games last season, everyone was like they gave up after 40 mins had no drive or self belief but when up against some quality opposition in other matches they show serious talent Maybe the Players priority is to shine only against top teams so they can get a good transfer deal ££££££££££££££££££ MUFC drop down to 3rd spot will obviously be only temporary setback . Trust Me !

So the Staveley takeover is over? Are there any other offers?
It's one thing to have a self-imposed transfer embargo due to takeover talks, if the sale goes through. But it's another thing entirely to do so and then have the sale fall through. It's the opposite of have your cake and eat it too, it's like burn your cake and throw it out with the trash. Bah, I couldn't think of a good one. TOON will stay up I think, and there's another year to rid yourselves of Ashley. I've heard various things like she insisted on relegation clauses, or that she can't come up with the funds, and it was all a big waste of time. Some say she might come back in with a bid if Newcastle can confirm their Premier League place for next season. Any insight in to this Jimbuna?
