10th March Southampton (h) 31st March Huddersfield (h) 7th April Leicester (a) 15th April Arsenal (h) 21st April Everton (a) 28th April West Brom (h) 5th May Watford (a) 13th May Chelsea (h) Our remaining games Spurs (a) to slotted in at some point

Why ?

Rafa said 2-3 weeks last week for Salami

I'd like to see a front 2 of Gayle & Joselu for this

Agreed

I can see the Spurs game being put inbetween the Watford & Chelsea game just to make things extra awkward for us.

We really are in a mess when the first week of March we're already relying on other teams results helping us out

Yeah humiliated is a bit strong but you get the idea. Why bother hiring the bloke if he wasn't going to back him he may as well have stuck with McClaren who was given a fortune to waste.

I cant possibly see Rafa signing a new contract under Ashley relegation or no relegation. I mean why would he, he's been lied to publicly humiliated & undermind over the last 3 windows

If he did he's probably sold them

He doesnt really want to sell he's had it up for sale 3 times & yet he's still the owner. Over the 10+ years he's owned the club hes's turned it into a shell of what it was. The fact that the team is worth less than it was when he took over is shocking he has steathily over the years sold players worth money & installed cheaper models in their place. If you look at the team now the only player in there worth any money is Lascalles who'll no doubt be gone in the summer. Nothings changing anytime soon here, if we do manage to escape relegation it'll be the same next season & the one after that. I think it's a bit rich to question me being a Newcastle fan i've had 44 years of this done my time on the terraces in all weathers so i think im entitled an opinion. One last question can you name anything good Ashley has done for the benefit of the club ?

I read somewhere Ashley had said even if Staveley improved her offer he wouldn't sell to her. The best outcome from all this is the one that costs Ashley the most money. If it means relegation & Rafa leaving so be it, as long as Ashley loses lots of money.

Benitez press conference They key points from Rafa Benitez’s press conference Jonjo Shelvey is ruled out with injury Islam Slimani continues to work towards fitness Dwight Gayle and Matt Ritchie available to play Magpies will fly to Liverpool later today Newcastle will train outside first Benitez wants to his side ‘manage’ games better

Have you seen the table & our next few games. We've done this too many times this season anybody who isn't starting to get slightly worried must be mental.

Fucking rubbish the amount of chances missed man. I could have scored the one Shelvey missed before they got their first.

So he is Tom my bad even so, the main area we needed strengthened appears to have been weakned for X number of games

“Slimani had a setback so he will not be available and will be (out for) at least a couple of weeks. “He had an injury when he came, (now) a setback in training, and we will have to deal with that. “When you go to deadline day, it is always a risk. “We did it and we have to manage the situation in the best way possible. “Islam Slimani was positive and training really well but he felt this problem again. “We have to make sure he is ok (before he plays). “For teams at the bottom, every game is like a final. For us, for Bournemouth, it is a big test. “We have to be sure that this one is an opportunity to get three points. “As soon as you win a couple of games you go three or four places up the table.

Salami out for another 2 weeks i'm quite impressed we sold a striker to loan a striker who may not even play a game for us this season.

We need a strong fijish as i said its a shame we have to wait the fortnight to keep the momeentum going

play like we did yesterday & we'll be fine as Gloomy says we're not out of the woods yet but those 3 points have helped.
