That's what we need to pull us up a but and create a bit of distance. And to be honest, although I'd like to see a bit more invention I think our gameplan is a sensible one. We are picking up points. Hopefully another point at St James' Park today. We are keeping ourselves in games which makes me think we May bag the odd point against the bigger sides.

It's weird - I don't have much confidence in us winning games but I do have confidence that we will keep ourselves in the games long enough to give ourselves a chance.

Keep the board ticking and hopefully we will nick that vital win.

What chance Palace, Liverpool, Norwich, Man City and Man United all winning ? That would go along way to ensuring survival !

Can also see west ham turning over man u.

Just when I thought that I was out...........they pull me back in

and won unfortunately.

True but at this stage we need to be trying to stay above Sunderland and Norwich and a win today would guarantee us points in hand against at least one of them, possibly both. Adding very likely losses for Cardiff and Fulham and it would have the makings of a great weekend. Of course this is all assuming we somehow manage to win.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...
