Newcastle against West Ham. Hull City versus Manchester United. A dreadful season comes down to those two games. Regardless of the result in our game, a win or a draw for Man Utd will ensure our survival. A Hull win, however, will mean that only a win in our game will keep us up; a draw would see us relegated on goal difference. It is in our hands. Win and we survive, it is as simple as that. Although if the last 10 games are anything to go by winning is nigh on impossible.
Newcastle United Football Club are a fraud. This ‘club’ is far from a football club. Sir Bobby Robson probably best defined what a football club is when he said “it’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city”. The Ashley era has saw the noise diminish. There is no longer passion, the owner doesn’t care, the players don’t care and the overwhelming emotion among the fans is one of anger. The feeling of belonging is dying along with the hope.

The club deserve relegation and quite frankly it says it all about the quality of the Premier League that there is a chance we might stay up. Best league in the world? Don’t make me laugh.
One thing is for sure, if Newcastle United are relegated, football wins. This club is a disgrace and everyone associated with it apart from the magnificent fans deserve to go down. The players are spineless, the manager and coaching staff are way out of their depth, the board and owner are amongst the worst human beings to ever take to this earth. Never has there been a club more deserving of relegation. Continue reading
