The perfect Saturday.

With our beloved NUFC not taking to the pitch until tomorrow it leaves us looking on at the other fixtures with a keen interest.

Usually I pay little attention to the other results until they are in, but just for a bit of interest I thought I would sling up a new article where we can discuss the merits of the scores as they happen aswell as the repercussions and implications that each goal scored could have on our survival chances.

The first result is in, and it went in our favour as Everton beat Wolves 3-0 at Molineux. That's back to back defeat for Wolves now as we beat them 4-1 last weekend. Seven goals conceded in two games in the run in of a Premier League survival battle is not ideal, and I feel that today could be a significant nail in their Premier League coffin.

What about the other games though? What would be the best results from a purely selfish, Newcastle United perspective. Let's see.

Blackburn v Birmingham - A draw would probably be the best result for us in this game and would keep both sides four points away from us.

Bolton v West Ham - Bolton win, easily. This would keep West Ham in the bottom three.

Chelsea v Wigan - Pretty straightforward. Chelsea win. That would keep Wigan bottom of the table,

Man Utd v Fulham - Again an easy one to decide - home win. That would keep Fulham behind us, and a heavy defeat for Fulham would impact their goal difference and make our goal difference better in comparison.

Sunderland v West Brom - Draw probably, although ideally both sides would lose ;)

Tottenham v Stoke - Tottenham win. That would keep Stoke behind us.

Basically, if the teams below us fail to gain then even if we lose against Aston Villa tomorrow it would keep the gap between us and the rest of the pack the same, but with one game less to play.

Finger crossed!
