Can you honestly see Pearson working for Ashley?

I'm sure he has far too much self respect than that.

I can't be certain but perhaps Nige was caretaker manager there under Mike Ashley.

Newcastle are still hopeless whether they have a new manager or not, it will take more than a few days to turn around that mess.

I think they'll stay up though, Norwich are down for me with Sunderland and Villa. I see Newcastle beating Spurs last game to stay up.

This would be great news for us.

You know the first thing Moyes would be doing is drilling them defensively all week.

We have them away on final day though.....

Moyes won't sort that defence out in a week. Look at the problems Allardyce is still having with Sunderland.

They will get a new manager bounce and could possibly hope for a smash and grab at the KP but if mahrez and Vardy are on good form then its unlikely. We completely destroyed them at their place.

Newcastle at home is a banker, we will hammer them and if we only win one more game it will be against them.

Nothing can be taken from prior games really, especially if there is a new coach in. Dynamics change anyway - they are now the away side, less onus to attack, they would love a point whereas before they probably expected to beat you.

I would still expect you to win regardless, but they do have a few very good players despite their position. They are the only team to beat us this season after we have been ahead

They were the away side back in April when we beat them 3-0 too. They had a different manager then and nothing has changed, they're still exactly the same gutless team then that they are now.

Even if they do change manager before Monday, the new guy has a few days to turn around a several year old rut.

Good luck with that and good luck to them finding someone willing to take that on.

As I keep saying, you can't judge the future on past results. If you could Mr Hill wouldn't be such a rich bloke!

Add to that - you would not have stayed up last season if the first half of a season's results had a definite bearing on.the second half ones

Annnnd... He's gone.
