I fancy Fulham to be the third team as well, they play some quality football and score lots of goals.

Absolutely fking delighted.

Now let's put a bit of pressure on Brighton and see if we can nick it.

That being said I'd have settled for 2nd at the start of the season.

GET THE fk IN!!!!!!

Congratulations Newcastle, pleased because Rafa seems like a genuine chap, he didn't walk when you got relegated and neither was he sacked so all round, well done.

They'd never have sacked him in fairness, the damage was well and truly done by the time he took over - he had a limited time frame to keep 'em up, it didn't work, st happens (not his fault).

Had the season been 4/5 games longer they'd have survived and Palace would have gone down instead.

Indeed, the damage was done by the brolly idiot.
Hope the fat bloke supports Raffa so we can build on this.

If he doesn't and Rafa walks, fair do's as far as I'm concerned. He'll always have my respect.

Fair dos. Rafa has found his level in The Championship, whereas I thought he was more a league 1 manager. But in the Prem, if you stick with Rafa, he will keep you up for 3 seasons......autumn, winter and spring.

As regards my bet, we both lost. You didn't romp the league, probably won't even win it.

Something to do with income tax fraud apparently, it's never dull at Newcastle is it?

Seems not.

The miserable jock in charge up the road is getting a slap (boom boom) on the wrist over the comments he made to a female reporter too. Busy day for the gossip hehe

You can't make this st up, can you?

"Lads we've just got back in the top flight, we've a team looking like one and a manager who's more than competent. How can we fk it up? Any ideas?"

"How about we fiddle the tax Mike?"

"Brilliant! Get on with it."
