Michael Chopra - 11 games later

[The Great Wallsendo]

well the powers that be have put the game on sky (which I`m pleased about cos the kids have got the tickets so no chance of me and the missus going) but that was when they thought it could be an either or for the drop out .................. but no chance of that, you might still be in the running keith but the magpies will be safe as houses ................

It wasn't long ago I was saying that the Toon deserved to be relegated and for a while I thought my fears would be realised...we might beat the drop but if we do there needs to be wholesale changes in the squad...KK needs a HUGE pot of money to spend because there is no way "decent" players will come to the Toon on merit at the moment

I'm still waiting for the "Revolution" and look forward to it eventually happening...

If I can't get tickets for the derby I'll be watching it from the sofa screaming at the screen

got to agree Norm, a think the toon will be ok but i also think that Sunderland will be ok too. I think the likes of Birminham, Reading and Bolton have more quality but Sunderland have a lot of heart, something that has been lacking in the newcastle squad at times. Like keane said they haven't really been battered too many times this season, where as the toon have been humped on too many occasions.

And remember they have been without messers Richardson and Edwards for long spells.

Evans & Bardsley have made a massive difference, Keane should make sure Evans is his first summer signing.

Great result today but I've been watching them long enough to know it probably means we'll get beat off the hammers.

Aye Keith I think Villa was your turning point as birm and Fulham were ours, however it makes the game on 20th April more of a pride game than a survival .... which is MUCH more important for locals LOL enjoy it mate , I will (I hope!).

i have to disagree about the post regarding chops heart not being in it playing against newcastle, i think he will be the first name on the team sheet bcos he has a major point to prove and if it were me id be busting a gut to stick one over on the team that let me go! even if it was my team!
