I find Newcastle fans to be hubristic, arrogant, deluded and a bit stupid generally, but its a great time for them just now, after the early part of the Ashley reign and him trying to offload the club. They seem to have fallen into a proper method of play and scouting thats been really successful. Well done the the geordies.

They're still not a big club though, you should have seen the faces on a few of them when I told them Everton were a bigger club.

[cannotmakeit]

They'll do an Everton and fail in the qualifying round.

FULL-TIME QPR 1-0 Tottenham

What a ****ed up season. Madness.

[Lee]

Just been looking at the table and I seriously think Villa could go. Blackburn and Bolton blow hot and cold, QPR and Wigan are getting results too; but I can't see where Villa are going to get their next win from.

I think they'll go.

[Craig_H]

Nah, they have 36 points and i dont think a team will go down with 36 points.

[Lee]

Fair point mate, and on paper they shouldn't go down.

But I can't see them reaching 40 points and the teams around them are picking up points. It'll be close, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them go.

[Mattshark]

Nah, they have 36 points and i dont think a team will go down with 36 points.

Only 2 more points than Wigan and QPR though.

[Craig_H]

It doesnt matter about Wigan and QPR though, Villa wont be caught by any of Wolves, Bolton or Blackburn.

Villa wont need anywhere near 40 points. Even with just 36, Blackburn would need to win 2 out of their last 3 to overtake them - and 2 of their last three are away at Spurs and Chelsea. Not going to happen.

True, though I must admit I'd like to see Villa go down. They are the most horrendous team to watch in the league.

[Craig_H]

Realistically, Bolton are the only ones who have a realistic chance of catching Villa. And they go to Villa Park on Tuesday night. If Bolton win that, then maybe Villa's position becomes very precarious.

[Lee]

Yeah, and it's possible that the bottom three end up as Wolves, Blackburn and Villa.

I'm not saying it's a cert, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them fall into the zone and go down on the last day of the season.
