' NEIL WARNOCK WANTS BRIGHTON TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP '
Neil Warnock has admitted he would love to spoil the party for Rafa Benitez with a home win – albeit in front of a sizeable away support – would hand the title to Brighton, a team he has long described as the best in the division.
NEIL WARNOCK:
“It’s all building up now till the end of the season and thankfully I don’t have to worry about anything other than next season,” Warnock added. “We just have pride at stake but we need to put a good performance on in front of the TV cameras. With Newcastle coming it’s a game that whets the appetite.
“It will be a good crowd and the Geordies will be coming to celebrate – but hopefully we can put one over on them. I was delighted they won on Monday because it adds more spice to our game. That’s what I was hoping for really.
“I think Brighton have had the best team but Newcastle have the strongest and biggest squad, and it’s a blessing they are going up because you don’t want them in the Championship for too long.”
Newcastle have been in the headlines following a shock raid on their training ground and St James' Park Stadium which is being linked with investigations by HMRC.
But Warnock insisted: “I don’t think the players will give two hoots if I’m honest, I think they will just be getting on with their own performance. I’m sure they’d like a chance to win the league, but that’s why it promises to be such a good game. I know our lads are really looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to seeing how Ken goes against the centre-halves and a few other battles"

Strange line up. Resting players
Will a Newcastle win trigger some "the title's not important to me anyway" comments on NSC?

A draw would be fine.
Then we only need to match or better that tomorrow to take the title.

Thinking of the logic earlier. I came up with that we need to match Newcastle's worst result. Think that is right.

Craig Noone - about to put in his best performance for the Albion?
Here's hoping for a 'Nayim' moment.

Just as a Newcastle loss would trigger the same response in the North East.
