I've been resigned to relegation since Christmas @Winchy . Steve McClaren was always going to be the suicide pill for Newcastle United, but the owner and chairman helped along the way.
Spending £80m on unproven youngsters and putting a dinosaur in charge was a recipe for disaster, and the chairman left it far too late to rectify his mistake.
I'm not even sure we'll be back this time either, like all things associated with the club it will depend solely on the will of one bitter, destructive, childish billionaire.

I was listening to the 606 phone-in show after full time last night and that mirrors what most of the Newcastle fans were saying/feeling…ambivalence with a little frustration but no shock or surprise at it happening at all. One sports reporter from the local BBC station got very emotional and outspoken about what was and has been done to the club.
I guess I have it easy as Norwich are just shit.

It's never easy to get relegated man, and Norwich are a great club, a proper family club. I think that the ambivalence from our fans just comes from 9 years of Mike Ashley and his false dawns and empty words, he spends on players then employs the cheapest possible options to manage them, and has a policy of only buying young players of "potential".
We should have an away day meet up at Carrow Road or St James' next season

Final games in The Premiership in the UK on Sunday.
Gonna do a £10 accumulator bet.
Swansea to beat Man City. 5/1. (£50). (I'm betting with my heart here, not my head).
MUFC to beat Bournemouth. 2/5. (£70).
Leicester to beat Chelsea, (away). 2/1 (£210).
Spurs to beat The Toon, (away). 3 / 4. (£367.50).
Southampton to beat Palace. 3/10. (£477.75).
Sunderland to beat Watford, (away). 5/2. (£1672.12).
WBA to beat Liverpool. 7/5. (£4,013.08). (I detest Liverpool. But this bet could be a coupon buster).
Everton to draw with Norwich. 3/1. (£16,052.32).A nice little earner if the bet comes in.
Edit: I might have a fiver on Azerbiajan to win the Eurovision Song Contest tonight @ 200/1.

German Football Leagues - final weekend! … very thrilling
Would have preferred Hoffenheim on that relegation place instead of Frankfurt, I have a weakness for the traditional clubs. Remember the drama about Hamburg (HSV) last year? Glad for them having a safe place in the mid-field this season. A little pissed off at our home club (Hertha BSC) only finishing seventh after it looked much more promising for a substantial period.

Whoops
Bollocks. No.88 Nil points!
-
united to get into champions league tonight anyone??
-
Don't they have to win 19-0 to make that happen…?
-
Surely Ibra would be better suited to Arsenal, or even Spurs? Man United do not play his style of football, Van Gaal is not his type of manager and I fear he would see the twilight of his career fade out there.
-
Jose doesn't exactly play his style either, ask Torres.
