Newcastle v Leeds

[Seagulls over Essex]

Its a fix. It must be. The mighty Newcastle who should not even be in the championship anyway cannot be 4 points adrift at this stage of the season.

At least the media can report that they have taken another step towards promotion.

Plucky little Brighton still with an outside chance of winning the title ahead of champions-elect Newcastle.

 

[Chijeff]

I wasn't expecting that when I heard the score was 1-0 on 95 mins!

Nor me. Absolutely amazing.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

We are still under the radar though aren't we?

Yes. Yes we are !

 

[KVLT]

Only 3 goals in it now as well.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Perfect scenario has a Championes guard of honour by Villa.

Particularly amusing watching this (and the Albion game) in a pub full of Newcastle fans

It was also full of Irish Wolves fans

Top of the league, top of the leaaaaagggguueee.

Now I'm off to watch a Lacrosse match....

I can't wait to hear The Football Ramble chaps talk around us again.

Last Monday's episode was a masterclass in not saying Brighton & Hove Albion.


In fairness why would you when you can say Newcastle & Jonjo Shelvey.

 

[Steve in Japan]

90 + 5 minutes? Wood?? Oooooh nice.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Take that Shelvey you utter **** of a human being.

Very mature.

 

[Juan Albion]

To be fair on Newcastle, they were playing the European champions and we were only away at Wolves.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I don't want this season to end, nothing will ever be this good again

You sentimental old sausage.

 

[Triggaaar]

Have to confess I went loopy at that Wood goal. Such a sweet moment!
I know it's not over yet but been saying all season this being grateful for 2nd place crumbs from Newcastle's table is a load of old bollox. Still game on.

I'm still very happy with second, promotion is the goal, and ideally without the stress of the playoffs. But obviously it would be even better to be champions.

No Baldock is still my main worry though. Not long to recover before Monday's game.

 

[The Birdman]

Thank you dirty Leeds

 

[mothy]

Massive clubs,massive game, massive result

 

[Winker]

Leeds are a one-man team, let's get him back for next season!

Good point, well made.

No way.

It would take ridiculous money to buy a one trick pony having a one off season.

 

[1892]

Can't believe we never won that, first time in weeks we have played well.

What happens when you can't finish your chances.

Just to compare the cost of their side today v ours:

Darlow- £3.5 million

Anita- £7 million
Lascelles- £3.5 million
Mbemba- £8.5 million
Dummett- Free (academy player)

Ritchie £11 million
Shelvey £12 million
Hayden £2 million

Gouffran £6 million
Perez £1.5 million
Mitrovic £13 million

Compared with:

Stockdale £1 million

Bruno Free
Dunk Free
Huenemeier £2 million
Pocognoli Loan

Knockaert £2 million
Stephens 600k
Sidwell Free
March Free

Murray £3 million
Hemed £1 million

They are paying Rafa £5 million to get that squad up... and they're four points behind us with four to go.
