Desperate for Newcastle now.

Schwarzer makes another amazing save - not his first today either.

dokko · 16 May 2009 at 16:53

that's it were down, no chance of beating villa away, possibly a point. bugger.

G|mp · 16 May 2009 at 16:53

We're utter toss mate. We might let you win if we're nice

City had to give away a penalty didn't they!

This puts city out of touch of a European place now doesnt it? Get in, Taxi for Hughes!

CliffyBiro · 16 May 2009 at 16:56

10 goals conceded at home.

Lowest ever.

Chong Warrior · 16 May 2009 at 16:56

F-T 2-1

Spurs set new club record for least goals conceded at home in a season, amazing when you consider the start we had!

It was a VERY soft penalty to be fair, I wouldn't have given it. Though Spurs thoroughly deserved to win so no big injustice really.

Hopefully West brom can win remaining two games and sunderland pick up no points...

Magpies, Mackems and Smoggies all down

dokko · 16 May 2009 at 17:00

Damn Bolton, wish you couldn't have got a winner.

So NUFC need a Liverpool point tomorrow, a manu beating of Hull and a draw for ourselves against Villa away to stay in the league?

Dear me.

DanH84 · 16 May 2009 at 17:03

hard luck boro, i don't see the goal difference swinging that much sadly.

Greenlizard0 · 16 May 2009 at 17:03

On a tangent note - a lad in the Silverpaw predictions has mopped up 16 points from 7 games! :eek:

Anyone think if Man Utd have a reserve team at Hull next week and lose and Newcastle fail to beat Villa, would the FA look into it? For Man Utd to send Newcastle down buy losing to hull with a reserve team im pretty sure plenty of newcastle supporters wont be impressed. Personally i think Man Utd have every right to rest all there prospective team for the European cup final, but i can see there could be repercusions if its a very reserve Man u team.

Tough boobs, Man UTD have the right to field who they want in their next league game.

Of course they won't. Utd can pick whatever team they like and even if they do play a reserve team it would have still cost 10x more than any team Hull will put out.

If Newcastle go down, it's 100% their own fault.

It wouldn't be our fault if Newcastle haven't amassed enough points to stay in the league, we have done our job and so have the luxury of playing a second string in a nothing game when we have a European cup final to play.

I can't see Newcastle being too arsed if it was the other way round.

Jesus.

Liverpool had bloody better put out a strong team vs Tottenham!

Oh well, as long as Spurs lose/draw we'll be celebrating Europe at the Cottage

.

As well as that, if we draw, Liverpool have to lose 0-5.
