What the fuck! Are you serious? No surely not...
I would 'love it' if we wrapped it up before having to pay QPR

Mate are you kidding? It would be our first tilte for donkeys years. I'll take it any way we can get it. And the bloody sooner the better (for the sake of my ticker)
We are 6 points and 4 goals away from a league title. We need to step up, be brave and play good football.

Call it years of conditioning, seeing us fail to turn up at other must-wins aways such as Everton, Stoke, Swansea and Arsenal.
I don't doubt that we can score, but I expect we will need at least three to win it.
I hope the Newcastle players also feel that extra pressure of being a one-team town, a little fatigue from last night.
However, if I'm honest with myself, usually a draw would be a great result up there, but we know that's not going to be enough.
Yaya, Sergio, Tevez, Hart and Kompany will have to play the game of their lives I fear.
I'm a bit apprehensive about this game, but not quite that pessimistic!
Newcastle are a good side and, Wigan aside, are in good form.
With them needing to win and having home advantage it is going to be tough, but we're in good form ourselves and have a superior side.
Plus, we've won 8 of our last 10 games against Newcastle (the other two were draws). As someone else said, I'd much rather be playing them than, say, Everton away.
Now you see, I would much prefer to be playing Everton.
They have little goal threat outside of Jelavic. Newcastle can score from various areas outside of the front two.
We all know we have superior players, but results have shown elsewhere, that is sometimes not enough.
The only thing in our favour, in terms of the right tempo and intensity, is we know we need to win, regardless of Newcastle's own situation.
I would probably drop Silva, bring Milner in to match the legs of Tiote and free Yaya further up.
And that man Mario can still play his part!

Dropping Silva for De Jong would be making the same mistake Ferguson made against us, and would send all the wrong signals to our players and Newcastles. If Newcastle play two up top against us we'll absolutely dominate midfield without needing De Jong, and Silva Tevez Nasri and Aguero will run their back four ragged. Same team as Monday please.
