Could be top of the table Saturday?

[DataPoint]

Newcastle could lose at Forest?
Brighton could win at Cardiff?

Top of the table at exactly the same time as last year?

Mmmmm ...

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Or they could draw and we could win 5-0

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Or we could lose, as we did last term. Who knows, it's a game of two halves?

 

[Colonel Angus]

Were wiin.

Geordies should wiin too though.

 

[GT49er]

Newcastle could loose at Forest?
Brighton could win at Cardiff?

Top of the table at exactly the same time as last year?

Mmmmm ...

I'd just settle for us winning at Cardiff, if that's alright with you.

 

[DataPoint]

Or they could draw and we could win 5-0

Wouldn't be enough.

 

[Stat Brother]

Win our next 2 games and we're top of the table, irrespective of what Newcastle do.

Or Newcastle losing at Forest.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Wouldn't be enough.

Or they could draw and we could win 5-0

It would make us level with Newcastle at the top.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Or they could draw and we could win 5-0

We could win 5-0, as we did v Norwich

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Or we could be 5 adrift.

 

[GT49er]

Or Newcastle losing at Forest.

No: us winning is more important than anything Newcastle do. There are other teams not very far behind us who may win, even if Newcastle lose. Three points for us, please - bu88er Newcastle; being top at the beginning of December, while of course it would be nice, just isn't important.

 

[Postman Pat]

A pretty strong Newcastle team out tonight.

Newcastle XI: Sels, Anita, Lascelles, Clark, Lazaar, Ritchie, Shelvey, Hayden, Gouffran, Diame, Gayle.

Need this to go on as long as possible.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Forest could really do us a favour on Friday.

Need to wait and see if they do before dreaming of top spot.

And all the payers who aren't even on the bench would be natural starters for any other Championship team. Benitez HAS to play a strong cup team because he hasn't got a second team in the normal Championship sense.

 

[Easy 10]

Top of the table at exactly the same time as last year?

Mmmmm ...

And that turned out well didn't it.

Top in December = IRRELEVANT

 

[Postman Pat]

Only one sub used by Newcastle so far. Gayle still on the pitch.

 

[Alba Badger]

Looks like pens if this keeps up. Good news for us. I hope Newcastle go through as a nice little cup distraction could result in them taking their eye off the ball...... FINGERS CROSSED!
