Football Predictions

Chelsea will stay 1st in the table, and I think Liverpool might be able to climb into second above Man U. Those three teams will definately stay in the top 3, though. I think that if Newcastle carry on playing well they will get back into the top 10. :)

Sunderland always get relagated and then get back into the prem after the following season, so that won't be a suprise.

As for the FA, I think either Chelsea or Liverpool will win it, although I'm hoping Newcastle will. Which is clearly not going to happen as our next tie is with chelsea. :(

I hope Newcastle don't make the final, precisely because of Shearer. For weeks all we'd have is "Oh in his last game he has a chance to finally win something. He's a die-hard fan who turned down the offer of Man Utd's trophies for his hometown club." etc etc.

And I daren't imagine what the BBC's coverage would be like, seeing as he's one of their pundits. Brown-nosing really isn't something that appeals to me, and their Shearer suck-upery (It's a real word :() is bad enough already. The amount of times I've heard BBC commentators/pundits exclaim "Shearer would have buried that chance!" beggars belief. Ugh ugh ugh.

Shearer rules (Obviously I'd say that, I'm a geordie). I totally respect him for choosing Newcastle over Man Utd, (but that's just because out of all teams, Man Utd are the team that I hate the most). Although, I don't want us to win the FA because of Shearer, I want us to because we've had a real terrible past two years and now Souness is gone we are starting to progress (if only a little) and winning would really get Newcastle back on their way. :)

I hope Newcastle make it to the final, simply because they'd have to beat Chelsea along the way. Plus with any luck, Graeme Souness will see them lifting the trophy under their new manager and will break down in tears, before running off to the Andes to become a hermit, and will never bother us again. :)

I can't wait to find out who the new manager will be. At the moment though, from his good work with the team I want Roeder (sp?) to stay. But he has already made it clear that he doesn't plan to be Newcastle's new full-time manager. A lot of people are hoping Shearer will manage when he finishes the season, it would be nice but realistically it just isn't going to happen! :spin:
