Another perfect Saturday?

Last week on NUFC Blog I wrote an article where we could take a look at other games, the results, and what the implications could be for Newcastle United.

So, due to positive reaction and a few requests throughout the week I thought I'd do the same against for this round of fixtures, albeit belatedly due to a minor personal crisis and some ignorant shoppers. If you don't know what I'm on about, you can see what I mean by looking at last weeks article here. Incidentally, every result did go our way, aside from our own, typically.

So what results would be best for us this week then? Let's take a look the fixtures that have a chance of affecting us....

Birmingham v Sunderland - Sunderland are currently on 38 points, and if Birmingham win it would bump them up to 38 points aswell. There are plus points for either side grabbing the win to be honest. If Birmingham win it drags them closer to us whereas if Sunderland win they will overtake us. A draw would do, but due to my hatred of those red and white fizzers I'd really like a Birmingham City win.

Blackpool v Wigan - Once again another tough one to decipher. A win for Blackpool would more than likely spell the end for Wigan in the Premier League, and it will also drag Blackpool closer to us. I'd plump for a draw in this fixture.

Everton v Blackburn - Easy call - Everton win. That would keep Blackburn struggling at the bottom.

West Brom v Chelsea - Another easy call - Chelsea win.

West Ham v Aston Villa - A draw would keep both sides closer to the bottom and would be no help to either team really. A Villa win would put them on 40 points and would all but end their relegation fears. A win for West Ham would drag them out of the bottom three and put them on 35 points.

Incidentally, if the fixtures did go in our favour again we'd still be in ninth with only five games remaining for the rest of the league. Good stuff, although we do have the small task of Manchester United to overcome at St James' Park on Tuesday evening.

Do you agree with my results? Would they be the best for Newcastle?
