He's doing a good job, rumours about him being sacked were obviously bollocks from the beginning

Well they made Sunderland look like Brazil a couple of weeks ago and they may need more than 3pts to survive the way it is going at the mo.
They look favourites at the moment. Leicester, Villa, Hull and even Sunderland now are all showing a bit of form and grit.

Derby have no more games, do they? No - but it's not a good look to bugger off to the Toon 48 hrs after the final nail in 2 months of relegation form turns what was looking like a title into 8th place. Just feels a bit wrong - and sure he realises that too? I like him - but not sure how Toon fans would feel about it either. If the shoe was on the other foot though most football clubs don't think twice about sacking the manager, imo it's a bit hypocrytical of clubs these days to expect loyalty from managers when 95% of clubs don't hold loyalty themselves. Who could blame McClaren really for moving, they are probably the biggest club outside the top 4 regardless of their lack of success and any manager could walk in there now and make an improvement, funds allowed.

With all teams immediately below them with one or more games in hand it's looking very dicey for Newcastle. I can't see them beating a well disciplined and TP organised Baggies. You'd imagine they will get no more than a point at QPR, and West Ham don't look they are giving anyone an easy ride at the moment. I can't see them surviving.

What's the record top flight defeats on the trot? I know we lost ten (and nine in the same season)' . Be nice to see Newcastle lose the rest of their games. Still think 35 points is enough. Hope I'm wrong mind.

Have you see the mackems fixtures compared to Newcastle's. The mackems are down IMO with Burnleh and QPR. Newcastle will just about scrape it.

Newcastle going down would pretty much make up for the disappointment of Man United getting top 4.

It's going to take another once-in-a-blue-moon type result assuming the other 4 contenders can muster one result apiece - and they've all got at least one that seems a probable win, depending on what degree of shitstorm Newcastle are in. Mind you, Hull's game against Burnley seems huge now.

Steve McClaren was offered the chance to take over as Newcastle United manager for the final three matches of the season following Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Leicester City.
Derby County's former England manager turned the opportunity down and Newcastle have now resolved to stand by caretaker boss John Carver come what may.
Senior players have held talks with Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley in the past 24 hours and accepted they must come together to lift the club away from relegation.
It is understood that Carver did not offer to resign over the weekend, nor was he asked to.

Realistically no. But it's that time of the season where some odd results are happening and the teams at the bottom are seriously going for it. Everton v Sunderland is the early kick off on Saturday - a win for Sunderland puts us 14th and makes it a nightmare for everyone else. It's why it's such a crucial fixture for us up here!

If so QPR can surely be ruled out? QPR & Burnley have to win all their games I would say.

Feel for Burnley but QPR can fuck off to the abyss for all I care - splashing all that money and paying no attention to FFP restrictions, deserve everything coming their way if they're to go down. Also agree that it sets the tone, it's a very nervy fixture for all those involved at the bottom.

I can see them getting 3-4 points in their last games once the players are offered a big fat bonus. So unless Sunderland beat Leicester they will get the drop.

Sunderland have a chance in the form of Advocaat. He's an experienced manager who has adjusted quickly to the Premier League and they seem to have a better team spirit than Newcastle. Although it was frustrating to witness, Advocaat had the measure of LMH in the second half at the Brit; his change of tactics at half time was the work of a canny manager who knows how to read games. Meanwhile, the Geordies have the dream manager they have always craved - a local boy who is as big a fan as they are - much better than that Cockney lackey, eh lads?
