OK, we are obviously die-hard Newcastle fans here at NU-Mad, but we STILL believe no-one in their right mind is going to suggest we won't get them.
The Mackems rise above us on goal difference, but let them have their "15 minutes of fame" ... it won't last for long.
That Tyne-Wear derby is going to tell a story or two.
As for the rest, there are going to be some major 6-point key games between now and the end of the season.
Goal-difference will be major, and Sunderland's -7 is just as good as point, compared to Villa's -26 and Wigan's -18.
