I think 4 points from our next 3 will be enough for fourth. A win at Chelsea would be huge.

If QPR and Bolton can both get 4 points from their remaining 3 games (Chelsea (A), Stoke (H), Man City (A) for QPR, Tottenham (H), WBA (H), Stoke (A) for Bolton) I think Villa will go down. Villa have to play Tottenham at home and then Norwich away, and I dont see them getting points from either one.

I'll take this 4-0 loss at Wigan if it means we can take 3 points off Chelsea on Wednesday. I don't think we'll roll over for Chelsea like we did here, Wednesday will be interesting

Williamson had been unsurprisingly woeful

We've been like this all season, all of our losses are big uns. Fulham, Tottenham, Chelsea, man city, west brom.

If any Newcastle side in recent years can come back from 3-0 down at Wigan it's this one. We can still salvage something from this!

I don't believe so, unless it was written into his loan contract.

They could go with a back line of Walker -- King -- Gallas -- Kaboul, otherwise they'd have to put either Nelsen, Bale, or an academy player in there. But regardless of who they put in, Bale won't be able to bomb forward as much on the left as he wont have Assou-Ekotto there to cover him solidly. Spur's look a much weaker side now, and I look forward to Hoilett terrorizing them down that side this weekend.

Assou-Ekotto is out for the season for Spurs, this can only be good for us!

Just bought tickets for me and my girlfriend to go see Wales play Mexico in New Jersey at the end of May. She quite fancies Aaron Ramsey which is the main reason we're going, plus it'll be her first ever live football match! Should be quite fun with a few goals hopefully

With all the players missing from the Final, these players will certainly play more in the League. Not the best thing for us on that front.

Does anyone think that we'd be in the state we are now if we weren't relegated? Because I don't think we would be

Probably has to do with the fact that he wasn't there when they came to the training ground and got the players' faces. Would be nice to have proper faces for him, Ba, Cabaye, and Cisse!

I think Hoilett would be great for us. Right now if Ben Arfa is injured or needs a rest, we don't really have any players who can light up the pitch like he can. Hoilett would be an excellent player have to fill that role

Rumors going around on twitter of a training room bust up with Harry Redknapp and the players. Apparently Adebayor refused to play, and there were issues with Lennon and Kaboul as well. This could be very good for us. Anyone heard anything about this?

Rooney's rightfully in there, has 24 goals in the League this season. Song definitely should have gotten it ahead of Parker. As for next year, I think Cabaye will sneak in there. This is his first season in the prem and next season he's really going to bust out and we'll see more of what we saw in the last game against Stoke.

Sorry! I'll remember for next time

Are you reading with the black background or the white one? Originally the quotes were in black font and would've been impossible to see on this template. Here they are in the other color though! "Some say Newcastle fans are mad but all I want to do is drive them crazy with goals." "The No.9 shirt offers you the chance to become a legend at this club. I have only just arrived but hope in many years from now the Newcastle fans can talk about a Senegalese player who wore No.9 and scored many important goals." "In Africa is it normal to see fans in the stands with their shirts off but, with the cold weather in Newcastle, I didn't expect it."

Some quotes from an interview with Papiss from SkySports: "Some say Newcastle fans are mad but all I want to do is drive them crazy with goals." "The No.9 shirt offers you the chance to become a legend at this club. I have only just arrived but hope in many years from now the Newcastle fans can talk about a Senegalese player who wore No.9 and scored many important goals." "In Africa is it normal to see fans in the stands with their shirts off but, with the cold weather in Newcastle, I didn't expect it."

Something I noticed while watching is that for every one of his goals he's scored this season (bar the one against Blackburn in the cup) Cabaye has sprinted over to the support right after. I get the feeling Yohan genuinely loves the city and the club, and will be here for quite some time. Really refreshing to see.

In a week or two I'm going to make an account on GameBattles and join one of their leagues. I've heard its quite competitive. Anyone have any experience with this?

I think it will be Ba getting dropped. I'd give him a game off and use him as a 70th minute sub, as he's had a very long season and could use a game to collect himself.

I think theres some sort of 'Road to the Final' mode, but that might be it

Finally got to Div 1 today! Was in Div 2 for two seasons, got relegated cause I was playing as Newcastle and kept coming up against 5-star teams. Went down, played as QPR for a bit, then adopted Spartak Moscow. Been playing a 4-2-3-1 with them and its been amazing -- gone through half of season 3 and all of season 2 without losing a single game with these guys. They're so good!!

What a talent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-mrQiZzYAY
