Well done united hehe


Who has Newcastle got last game season? if it's hard their going down

aston villa... we beat them 2-0 last time we played them so fingers crossed

mind that was back in november lol

Newcastle are down. Hull safe now. IMO.

fulham will get 7th.

What a season though. Shame its coming to a end.

what a terrible season

Its being a great season 11th omg how great is that STOKE CITY the team paddypower wrote off the team everybody hates middle table and we 100% definatly deserve to be there.

Our home record is unberlievable nobody can say anything different, This is the beginning of a beautiful thing, hopefully next season we will be the same making it difficult for Liverpool and Man Utd taking points of Villa

I bet paddypower never pay out again before the season is over pathetic of them they must of thaught they had 1 over on their rivels bet365 but the reason Coates is the 7th richest owner in England is becuase he doesnt do stupid things like that.

On the TV we have got in the Corner of the stadium they showed Coates and Pulis on it we all stood chating for them, they have made Stoke City what they are today.

Well, having seen MoTD it's fair to say I'm pretty annoyed. People saying that diving and cheating is spoiling the game, but the referees are to blame as well.

Didn't notice it at the time, but apparently the Fulham goal was offside, not the original ball that looked it at first glance, but when the ball was played accross to Kamara, the only person between Kamara and the goal was Steven Taylor, therefore he was offside.

And the decision for dissallowing our goal? Well, it was an absolute shocker, and it's so frustrating that an inept referee can put a team down with one decision. In a way, he also had a major help in giving Man Utd the title, giving them that penalty when they were 2-0 down to Spurs.

He shouldn't referee another football game, he simply does not have a clue about the rules.

Firstly well done United for equaling Liverpool's 18th titles.

Newcastle only need a point against Aston villa to stay up by the looks of things. If Newcastle get that point then that will be the best point in their history without a doubt! Very tough tho, Villa need 3 points against Newcastle to take 5th place and they will want to go out with a bang infront of their own fans, it's just too close to call. I want Newcastle to get relegated simple as! They just haven't been good enough but i can tell you now Hull City will be relegated next season!

Well done to Fulham, top team of late. Everton will struggle to even take a point at the Craven Cottege coming next Saturday, remember the fixture between Fulham and Everton always results in a home win, never a draw or a win for the away side lol.....!

Newcastle got a few decisions aginst Boro, including an offside. There can be no complaints about league positionings, the table doesn't lie, hence united are top of the league - and we aint, Newcastle are 18th and West Brom have been relegated.

At the end of the day you will end up in your rightful place in the league despite what the referee gives/doesn't give. I would say Newcastles players/managers/directors have made more errors than the referees in your games.

Well done to United though, best team in the end won the league, we pushed them close but as Rafa said, United have the platform to add to, whereas we had to totally change the squad after Houlliers reign.

We now have the platform of players, the spine of the team has been well and truly developed, and there can be no excuses for a trophyless season next year. Its time the potential was tunred into something tangable........... or in English - A TROPHY!!!

Has been a strange season, but pretty exciting one, cmon Barca cap it off with the European Cup!!

Well said.

I've looked through the fixtures for Newcastle, and can make up quite a few points that referees have cost us:

Man City (H)- Beye sent off for fair tackle- 1-0 down and 10 men for 90 minutes.

Fulham (A)- Should have had a free kick before winning penalty given

Stoke (H)- Their last minute equaliser came from a free kick that shouldn't have been.

Wigan (A)- Their 2 goals (Free kick and penalty) both came from dives.

Fulham (H)- Offside for their goal, perfectly good goal dissallowed for us.

Now that's just a few of them, and yes Newcastle's players, managers and directors have all had the main contribution as to why we're down here, but those decisions have also led to dropped points, and in a season where 1 point could decide our fate, it makes you think.

Clutching at straws now tom

It's all I can do when I support a team in this state!

referees have cost a lot of teams points this season.

Its part of football im afraid, like today in liverpool match, a couple of times west brom was clearly offside, ( well not clearly but you know what i mean) and they squandered there chances, Then! when their disallowed goal came, the flag goes up. A little controversal some may say. but anyway. its football.

my point is, that although some decisions may go opponents way, some will go your way.

I honestly cant see newcastle gaining anything from villa. the shock would be for newcastle to loose and hull to loose by 3 goals. Middlesborough then win 2-0 and stay up.

Swings and roundabouts

The lino was awful all game in our game, thank God he rightfully gave an offside when they eventially stuck one in!!

as Stoke fans sang to em "you should have played long ball" Their fans were great today though.

Police have confirmed that two Premiership footballers have had their houses burgled last night.

Ryan giggs had 70 welsh caps, 11 premier league medals, two Champions League medals, 5 FA cup medals, two world club cup medals, 8 Charity shield medals and one supercup medal stolen.

Emmanuel Adebayor lost a kettle and a toaster.
