    Nein, Chelsea have been a massive ****ing mess ever since Boehly came in. If Pouchettino manages to win the league cup this season, he's worked a miracle.

    Wolves are ok, nothing more, likewise West Ham. Even with the injury crisis, our team is every bit as good as there's right now.

    Nah Chelsea have slowly but surely been improving since man city home onwards. They look a very good side atm and will undoubtedly finish ahead of Newcastle.... might even win the cup.

    Wolves are a bit hitty miss, but I fancy them to beat Newcastle and possibly finish above them.

    Brighton definitely will.

    Undoubtedly is a dangerous word, Chelsea have a very promising squad of young players, but seriously lack leadership and experience. Once things get tough in games, Chelsea look seriously brittle and teams can charge right through them. Good confidence for them atm, but a bad defeat will really hit that confidence. Even recently Wolves hammered them.

    Brighton will easy win today cos this match is a joke, but they are significantly worse than last season.

    They shouldn’t be given the spends of both sides, yet the table doesn’t lie.

    We’re mired in mid table mediocrity mate, as a mindset as much as anything else. We play Dan Burn as first choice left back, ffs.

    See what? Weve now managed to lose the only other striker to injury on top of having lost our most dynamic midfielder for the season. It’s hard to see where change is coming from - I like Willock but he’s not that good!

    If we don’t qualify for Europe Howe should go.

    Luton, Bournemouth, Forest?! You’d hope so. We’re not finishing top 8. Arsenal will destroy any shred of confidence ahead of a wolves team buoyant from beating Spurs.

    We only lost to Bournemouth due to bad luck. A slip from dubravka. BURN is costing us,that issue will be rectified. It's not as bad as I think

    It's a way of looking for the most positive stat possible to ignore the fact the side is crap. The fact is Newcastle have scrapped a few points vs the worst sides in the league.

    A win vs villa and forest and were not losing games. This situation is fixable. Our fixtures are still good. It's far from over.

    Yes sometimes...fact is they had the better chances and we got lucky... A dubious pen and a lucky ball dropped to Ritchie after he failed 1st time.
