Jimmy,Man City's team of fairies and Nancies will soon be brought down to earth.
Let's play - how many points will Newcastle finish the season on?
My guess: 25
my guess 23. 2 points deducted for playing no one
I'll take a scraped win tmrw BTW
Man City scraped home then
Same here jimmy, reckon we'll have enough to beat them though - they played their best XI against Wisla in the week
I'll take a scraped win too.

So would Fulham, I would imagine.
Way things are going in this league, anything could happen tomorrow.... fingers crossed
looks like someone has an agenda against chelsea
Just waiting Don honey just waiting.
You were EXTREMELY lucky today not to get beaten by the 4th bottom club.
Like it or lump it, the ability to win when off form is why Utd and Chelsea have shared the last 6 titles, Dawn. We'll see if City have the same capacity when it's cold and Silva has to wear gloves.
But Luke this off form of Chelsea's I think will continue and manifest when they come to play the clubs nearer the top,they'll get beaten. They're only winning by this bad form because they're playing the bottom clubs. They were dead lucky against Everton with that keeper's fumble. It' will run out.
Dawn, I think AVB is trying to change the formation and tactics and is having mixed results. Chelsea don't have the same solid defensive base when Cech, Terry and Cole were at their peak alongside Carvalho. Attack is seen as the best form of defence, but it leaves them open as Arsenal and Utd showed. Lesser teams aren't good enough to take advantage though.
Spot on Luke. I've no more to say except that I don't think AVB will be successful.
Our game today was similar to yours against wigan. We completely dominated the first half and second half we didn't really turn up after the goal. We weren't 'dead lucky' against everton at all, they had a good 30 minute spell, but for majority especially for 11 vs 11, we destroyed them. Also you make it seem like we've been on bad form for the whole season, when in fact it was a week
But you have been on quite bad form all season haven't you? I've read the reports and many of the matches have been "lack lustre" as the press have put it. You can either run out of good luck(Everton missed a penalty) or ride it out until better form comes. The way things are going I think it will be the former.
Avram Grant came second in the league on the back of JM's previous good work and then you had to get Hiddinck in very quickly. You sacked Ancelotti and this man is your last shout. You are nowhere near as strong as you were last season and I think it will show. For me you are in a false position and living a bit off Ancelotti's good work.
We've played 17 games in all competitions and most fans would agree, the games where we haven't played are west brom, norwich, genk, Arsenal and today. We made a shaky start to the season, but then recovered and the media where even saying we can't be ruled out just as yet. And you seem to forget that we missed a penalty in that game also. And despite finishing second, last year we were poor, we so predicatable and slow and too be honest the league table flattered us. This season our performance have been a lot better because of Avb and once he sures up the defence we'll be fine. Although to be honest according to most spurs fans we're 'finished' so there's really no point me even commenting
So what's your excuse for QPR?
You honestly think we played poorly at Qpr?
Well if you played well it wasn't good enough because you lost. Players sent off,how many,3 in two games? Are you getting nervous?
I've even seen Liverpool fans say how well we played especially with 9 men, give credit where its due
Well when your losing or not playing well of course you get nervous, you were probably nervous after your bad start to the season, but we got the 3 points today, in the top 4, top our CL group so its not all bad. We're only 11 games into the season
