Shaping up to possibly be one of the most significant games of the season.

Firstly, allow me to start by saying how tremendously well Newcastle have done this season. All season long many people no doubt felt that Newcastle would fall away, but you haven't. You are where you deserve to be and I for one think it would be fantastic to have Newcastle qualify for the Champions League.

There's just the small matter of a potentially huge game coming up. That game being Newcastle v Manchester City. How significant this game could be will obviously depend on the results leading up to it, but it is entirely plausible that the scenario is one of Newcastle still in 4th spot and City 2 points behind United. Should that be the case, then this game could be hugely important in terms of whether City are able to maintain a challenge for the title into the last week of the season and whether Newcastle will end up finishing in the top four.

In their last two games City have hit form. Newcastle however have maintained a level of performance throughout the season. It is a game I simply would not like to call - one that could go either way, but hand on heart it will be one small crumb of comfort should City fail in our title bid (which I've felt we would do all season to be honest) if Newcastle end up securing a top four finish. For while the former will most probably just delay the inevitable, the latter would really shake up the Premier League.

And that can only ever be a good thing.

After all, a few years ago, who would have thought it possible for the top four not to include the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, and perhaps even Arsenal?

 

We will beat city 3-1

 

I'm hoping we have got 4th in the bag by the time we play City.

 

Yeah! Mr T talking positive!

 

Hope so, I always do 3-1. Did today.

 

If Tottenham lose a couple more and we win weve got it before the last 2 fixtures more or less.

 

That isn't our MrT though, it's an impostor.

 

I genuinely think two more wins are all we need and it doesn't really matter where they come.

Sadly away to Wigan is probably the easiest of our last four games, its a hard run-in but if it was easy then it wouldn't be worth doing right?

 

we might need to score 8 goals in them

 

All I'm going to post is this:

Gonna be a very hard game. I just hope City aren't up for it (either through nerves or cos they've already lost the title) and that we have a good game

 

Something in my bones is saying 1-1 when City come to Toon.

 

If title race is over then I'd fancy us at home. If not it'll be a tough game with could go either way. I'm sure City would prefer to not have it as one of their remaining games, and we would have picked other teams to visit! We're a threat to any in current mood at home. Wigan is massive now. I think we'll meet a weakened and weary Chelsea after that.
