    Newcastle still need another win I think and I'm not sure where it comes from, looking at upcoming fixtures. Fulham should pick up a couple between now and the last day.

    Newcastle are not going to lose six in a row any more than Fulham are going to win one of their 4 remaining away games (3 of which are at Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal) having scored 0.75 goals per game for 32 games.

    They need two wins. And goal difference is only 3 goals out.

    Fulham's run-in
    Arsenal
    Chelsea
    Burnley
    Southampton
    Man Utd
    Newcastle

    They've lost their last 4 matches to an aggregate of 2-9. Bobby Decorator Reid has 5 Premier League goals all season. Lookman has 4 with Mitrovic bagging 2. I've been generous and given them two games they could potentially win. Bear in mind they need 2 more than Newcastle.

    Newcastle's run-in
    West Ham
    Liverpool
    Arsenal
    Leicester
    Man City
    Sheff Utd
    Fulham


    Newcastle have lost 1 in their last six, scoring 8 and conceding 8. Wilson's scored 10 this season, Almiron has 4, Saint Maximin has 3. We'll get something from the last two matches. Crucially, I don't think we need to.

    Christ, Leicester really are bottling it. Liverpool should make top four with their fixtures. West Ham or Chelsea for fourth

    Perfectly plausible that Newcastle lose their next five games and Fulham get 5 or 6 points from their's. It's a tall order but Fulham are definitely not the 18th best side in the league at the moment.

    If that’s intentional - which obviously it was - then it has to be a 2nd yellow

    Roy Keane is a bit harsh on Son there, the slightest flick on the eye is probably more painful than his Haaland challenge.

    Great win that - 2nd place is pretty close to being secured. Could end up being a reasonable season.

    It’s a compliment to me in the way we start matches, the way we are organised. Then what happens during matches to lose points from winning positions is one of the situations I am not comfortable with talking to the media anymore.

    He seemed to be cultivating a bit of a bald patch today that I haven't noticed. It must have been the stress of the title challenge.

    It's ridiculous. It was a dive. There's no way it hurt.

    But....

    It was a foul. Thems the rules.

    Any more details on this 'house party' of Perez's that Maddison, Hamza, Barnes and Morgan were at? Was it a proper house party with hookers and shit or is Maddison's international career destroyed because 5 geezers who spend 40 hours a week with each other and shower together decided to play some poker outside of work hours?

    Son was trying to foul him and got brushed on the face when McTominay tried to push Son's arm away. It's not a foul in a million years.

    Intentionally swinging an arm and hitting someone in the face is a foul. In this instance it's ridiculous, but by the letter of the law it's a foul and VAR got it right.

    Based on that goal alone, he should replace Mane.

    Unfortunately that means playing Neco “worse than me at football” Williams at right back, and I’d rather actually have a chance of winning.
