How strong a team did Newcastle and Burnley put out? I will have some fun with my Reading friends on Monday. Given where Newcastle and Burnley are, despite what the managers may say in public will they be happy to not have other distractions so they an try and get out of their PL predicaments

Newcastle fielded about as strong a team as they could. Just came up against an inspired keeper.

(and our own keeper Dubravka made yet another mistake....not been the same player since he came back from injury....been a bit of a liability)
 
Hull deserved more and should have come away from that match with the win, it was another pretty embarrassing and depressing display for us. It’s not Rafa, we have an accumulation of years and years of woeful management and directorship on the pitch. Half a billion quid and we can now only just scrape a win against a lower league team after 120 minutes and pure luck.

And on top of it all I’m trying to explain to the Mrs why, no, I can’t just support someone else. ?

Sections of the away crowd with banners against Benitez. Is he a marked man or is it a case of needing time to get rid of the dead wood and build his own side and will he get that time and money?
 
Popped over to Wycombe v Sunderland today and what a game. Two excellent teams, rain lashing down, ball zipping off the pitch, packed home terrace and big away following at the other end. Proper football. Sunderland just about the better side, classy on the ball and a cracking striker in Stewart. Wycombe well drilled and not afraid to bombard the box. Both will go close to promotion IMO.
