Newcastle Relegation Watch
Well, after an overall productive weekend for NUFC supporters, we're one point further away from the drop zone. Newcastle were able to get a well-deserved draw (1-1) against Birmingham on the road. Birmingham have been playing well recently, and did again tonight, but so did we and the scoreline was, from what I can say, an accurate depiction of the match.
In other matches, everybody around us lost (Hooray!) except for Wigan (which is bad), who beat Bolton (which is good) and Fulham actually BEAT a surging Everton. This was by far the most surprising match of the weekend in my book, and gives Fulham one last breath to survive this season and stay in the Prem. But to do so, they've got to come through St. James Park, and that match is next weekend. Neither side can emphasize enough how crucial this game is for their respective Premiership hopes, and I'm exceedingly glad it's taking place at SJP. I think we'll get our first victory under Keegan - but I really hope the boys take it seriously, because Fulham showed this week that they've got plenty of fight left in them.
So at the moment - Newcastle are 14th spot on 29 points, with the current drop zone sitting at 25 points.

Less EPL and more college hoops! Are you putting together a bracket this year or are we on our own?
EPL relegation battle is far more important as there are no IL teams in the tourney. What Kevin is FAILING to mention is the fact that Man United is sitting in first place right now with a game in hand.
I'm going with Kansas to win it all. I've got a $10 tourney entry with my bracket.
And who cares about MANUre? This blogspot is all about the BLACK AND WHITES, bro.
