Crisis at Chelsea tbh! And thats why Fergie plays his reserves in games like these.

Crisis might be overstating it sure ye have a squad of 50 flipping internationals

Panthro

congrats to Newcastle well deserved in the end.

Lot of food for thought from tonights game, 4 goals conceeded at home for a start.
from what Ive seen, Josh, Alex and Anelka seemed to really get stuck in, trying to get Paulo to play was like trying to get a donkey to win at the Grand National.
thats football, onwards to the city game.

Don't worry if it was for your fantasy football team , they didn't play

The night we gave the world McEachran ..... what poise. Alex wonderful, Anelka wonderful .... Sturridge AWFUL. The two injuries will stretch the squad for the next 3 games - might even see more McEachran.

Pretty sure our first team will get spanked when we next visit

He looks a decent player alright. You've got a good talent there it would seem.

Not until May 14th, hopefully the league will be wrapped up by then.

Get the hell out of the future. I don't wanna think about that yet.

McEachran is going to be quality, still only 17 but his touch, control and vision are exceptional.

Will shake on that if we are safe at that stage too

We don't need to get delusional this season. That's the last thing we need. A good cup run with the reserves is one thing but ensuring Premier League status for next season is vitally more important.

Still, good week all round for the Toon and a thriling game of football to round things off.

Ah I think Newcastle will be comfortable in mid table. What's the story with Gutierrez, he looked good first few games of the season but was on the bench Saturday at Everton? Is Ben Arfa taking his place?

Need the three points on Sunday with the away trip to city to come

Jonas is a little hit an miss sometimes. Ben Arfa can play left or right so he will be keeping the pressure on Jonas and routlege! I hope your right. Looks good now but the season is more than 5 games unfortunately

He's exactly what Newcastle need imo; gets on with it and no messing with him.

Well done to Newcastle, didnt just come to stop us playing and played well.

A good deep cup run and surviving your first season back would be a great start to life back in the EPL for Newcastle. Good luck lads, see ye in May, hopefully we have the league wrapped up and ye are safe by then.

Hopefully we are. Need more games like that.

Ye should anyway, ye are looking better then a good quarter of the league if not a good chunk of a third of the league. If ye win about 7-10 of yer home games and put together about 5 away wins, couple that with a few draws and ye should easily top 45 points and be safe.

I was over to St James twice last year, for 2 stags and we took in a game each time, great fans and a great atmosphere on match day around the city and that was in the Championship, I can only imagine now ye are back in the EPL it has become better. :cool:
