Who goes down ?
After all the circus that has went on at St James Park do we get divine inspiration for all the let downs and have the Mackems and the Boro go down. Prob not but you just know that during the 90 mins all teams are going to spend a few minutes in that inrunning 17th place. Its who holds it when its over that counts. Should be a great afternoons entertainment, for the neutrals anyways For the fans involved just pain . Just a normal day at the office being a Newcastle Fan.
Thank Christ the day after is a Bank Holiday Monday. Last time we were this close to relegation was 1992. We nearly slipped into the old 3rd division . A late goal by David Kelly (below) against Portsmouth meant we went to Filbert Street, Leicester knowing a win would keep us up. A Leicester own goal 5 mins into injury time give us the win but results elsewhere meant we were safe anyways.. Fast forward 12 months and we won promotion, another 12 months and we were 3rd in the Premiership. Its went haywire since. DK isnt the most skillful player to ever grace the Toon but 1 goal means he is held in high regard. He even got a standing ovation years later when returning with Sunderland and that just doesnt happen normally...
Hopefully Sunday brings a new hero. I doubt it but you live in hope.
gl all and thanks as ever for reading.

I really hope your boys stay up mate. I remember when leeds went down, I was devistated and trust me life in football's second and thrid tier isn't half as fun as the Premier League.
It would be a shame to see Newcastle go down mate. They are too big of a club to do so.
GL on the final day of the season.
