In a season where looking on the ‘bright side of things’ has become more or less a full-time occupation, Newcastle fans may have been ever so slightly uplifted when browsing Sky Sports online today.
The sports news site took a look at how the Premier League table would finish should the results of all the remaining matches repeat themselves this season.
aka, if all teams repeated the results from earlier on in the season against their last ten opponents, where would they end up?
Whilst an oversized pinch of salt will be needed when digesting this piece of information, it is interesting to note that Sky Sports have us down to avoid relegation even though our next two games come against Leicester City and Sunderland, two teams we both lost 3-0 to earlier in the season.
Whilst we are also due to play Spurs in our final 10 game run-in (last game of the season) it goes without saying that the chances of repeating our shock 2-1 win at White Hart Lane from back in December is highly, highly unlikely.
My Mother in law was fckin insane. Worse than John Carver on acid.

Thanks homies, getting married to a sand dancer but she supports the toon

got me a feeling that McClown ain’t getting sacked, but rather moved sideways, to the academy.
If anyone is getting the boot, it could well be Beardsley who has failed abjectly in the job.
Just a thought

Basically someone at the club is briefing this story. Harold Bishop?

My ex-wife’s business Partner in Chicago married a coke head. Her brother made a speech at the wedding after this idiot had had the whole family thrown out of the rehearsal dinner 2 days earlier. It went like this:
“I know people in Chicago, and if you hurt my sister they will find you and they will kill you”
Seriously, even I was shocked.

Hope has been making it up as he goes along but I hope this isn’t more BS

ERIC love all sellers films,often watch that film to cheer me up,always blame bloody Brit Ekland for giving him a bad heart she locked him in hotel room for four days after their wedding she done him in

Sounds about right for a crowd from Birmingham, Belfast, Battlehill and South shields Eric

Rafa Benitez spent this evening at home watching the Chelsea game. He’s not been offered Newcastle formally. Yet.
That is a Tweet from Rory Smith. Rafa’s biographer
Stuart79(Quote)
Come on, that has to be the best wedding speech ever 🙂
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Lets hope the paper talk is true. I can see Steve Mc staying on in an upstairs role, keep his place on the board and as said before, maybe replace Carr as chief scout. Saves paying him off. You never know, as much as it would be such a knock back for him, maybe even kept on as a coach. Worked so well when at Man U, so never know. Whatever lets just get Rafa in and hope the new manager thing kicks in and make sure we can stay up and kick on next season
Simon(Quote)
His biography doesn’t exist, or have I missed something?
Jay Jay(Quote)
Everybody seems pretty happy on here, considering …
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Simon: Carr is not chief scout he is puppet master and is pulling Charnley’s strings.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Well, he was puppet master. I hope he is sacked.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
He’s fucking *****

been stealing a living from signing Cabaye for years

Jay Jay: do you want me to send you fiance’s brother some notes on his wedding speech?
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Shes got 3 mate and I’ve got 4…..and a sister 😕
Jay Jay(Quote)
My spelling is **** today.
Fiancee.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Apparently he has been offered the job and there are certain things he wants but it won’t be known until tomorrow whether we will agree. Whatever that means.
So, it’s clear now that he’s been offered the gig. The big thing is now, will they give him what he wants? Do we have a choice?
Stuart79(Quote)
They can fight it out then 🙂
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Jay Jay – Rory Smith wrote a book with him.
Stuart79(Quote)
Stuart: at least that might be a step in the right direction.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Congrats Jay, i suspect that the lass I met in the Perry. …or is that an oops I shouldn’t mention that?
richietoon(Quote)
Wasn’t a biography, was just based on a few interviews, nothing to suggest they are still in touch. He’s had nothing to do with Rafa since leaving Liverpool I believe.
Jay Jay(Quote)
*is that the lass * bloody auto correct
richietoon(Quote)
Work to do, backroom staff to finalise, job ‘title’ to consider. But Rafa Benitez certainly moved a step closer to #nufc hotseat today.

Richie: snap.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Rafa wrote a book about his Champions League experiences and Smith helped him. They’re supposed to be quite close.
Stuart79(Quote)
Aye Richie
Jay Jay(Quote)
Rafa has won 7 games and lost only 1 against Sunderland. Isn’t that worth the job alone?
Stuart79(Quote)
Read transcripts from the book, its like people getting to know each other of this blog. Its very poorly written and seems to have been conducted via emails. They do not sound close to me.
Jay Jay(Quote)
Jay congrats mate, I am just glad you ended up going on the undateables as I always believed that there was someone for everyone mate 😉
Sham I agree that if Rafa and to a lesser extent Moyes got the gig it would signal a real big shift in Jabba’s idea of how to run a football club.
Big Dave(Quote)
Blimey Jay I am only telling you what a Journo said today on Twitter. Although I doubt you give someone a credit and a share of the royalties you have never met…
Still remains to be seen whether we will offer him what he wants. Sound slike if we do that we have him but that’s a huge question.
Stuart79(Quote)
Getting married the day after you’ll be celebrating St Patricks day dave 😀
