@ Newcastle.

Harsh, but fair.

You don't need to repeat that, but if you don't repeat it it means:
1. More points to either Chelsea, United or both.
2. Less points for you.

The main reason why you won't win the league is a similar reason why you've failed in the last few years - far, far too many draws.

It's also unlikely that you'll get to play 10 men every other week next season.
Your reliance on last minute winners is also likely to not last.

You think Liverpool will manage to kick on from here, I think this season will probably be your peak and you'll slip back again. I think you'll need Fergie to retire and United appoint badly and Chelsea to appoint badly to prevail.

Excellent start.

Well scoring goals had been hard for Newcastle but they've put that behind them.

Going down, going down, going down!

FFS Boro!

1 - 1 after 15.

Hopefully it will stay like this now

hopefully the toon score again
