    Hard to believe the results Rafa has got with that squad. Amazing job.

    Go back into the time capsule and Wolves and Newcastle were the top dogs in the 50s in the League and FA Cup. Oh, how times have changed. Would love one of Wolves or Watford to win the FA Cup. As for Newcastle, I do not want to wish the worst on them. SFC will stay up on merit if they can win 6 more games, and not on the failings of others. Now where are those 6 wins going to come from is another issue that only the manager and players can resolve.

    Their attack is mid-table Championship, but that defense is genuinely stout.

    Yeah combined with a decent manager they've got more than enough, especially as there's one place left essentially.

    We are still one (heavy) win from 13th. In Ralph we trust.

    Can't see us winning a game with a two goal margin unfortunately.

    Two points dropped, yes (quite obviously). But as I said over the weekend, that survival line just continues to creep ever higher.

    I think I briefly saw a stat earlier which showed that Newcastle had an identical win-lose-draw record this season compared to last season, coming into this game, yet are three places lower than last season. An illustration that avoiding 18th will be harder this time around.

    Last season it was a case of sides holding the door open for each - "you can survive, no you can survive, no please you can survive" - this season, just recently it's more a case of teams taking it into their own hands. I can absolutely see 38 or 39 points being needed to stay up. Dreadful news for Fulham, bad news for the six of us above them.
