Don't fear. Newcastle have a tricky run-in, and will possibly lose five games or so. Momentum quashed, they can get back in their box and keep paying Johnjoe Shelvey for another year.

It might sound perverse but I would say they are going too well atm. This brilliant run combined with the takeover will ratchet up expectations and could be detrimental when they don't get off to a flier next season.

You’d think that our best bet is to get enough points v Norwich Burnley and Palace to be mid table.  But end of season games can be as unpredictable as early season ones, so who knows.  Surprise win v Liverpool maybe.

Not surprisingly, a bearish forecast.

I guessed 7 including Leicester.  Still think that's about right.

I'm really dissapointed how the season has fizzled out.  It's also frustrating to see Newcastle flying have signed just a few workmanlike players we wouldn't have wanted whilst we signed a world star and a French international.

All that said it's still early days.  Lots of us were laughing at Arteta and Arsenal last year and over the summer, but fair play to him he's turned it round.  Hopefully Gerrard can too once he's had time to get his philosphy over to the players properly.

And let's not forget, having already suffered Pulis, Pardew and Allardyce, Baggies fans are now putting up with Bruce.  Things could be a lot worse.
