Newcastle United, they have done this very quietly and sit in prime position to achieve the goal of a top 4 finish, ironically enough our next opposition.

Wigan returned yet again to London for the third away game in the capital in as many weeks buoyed by a run which has seen them establish themselves as one of the form teams in the Premier League.

We all know it’s well under a hundred days to the Olympics but did you realise that it is under fifty days to Euro 2012 ? No-one seems particular bothered both in the media and especially at the FA as we still don’t have a national team manager, Pyscho is standing in at the moment […]
