I think we have a really good chance of going 6 or even 8 points clear this weekend,

Arsenal should beat Birmingham! and Man USA have Newcastle despite Newcastle current bad form I think they will be well up for this! having not played for well over a week they will be fresh and raring to go! anyone else share my optimism?

Manure have never been all that comfortable in the North East so I think there is a chance that Newcastle could hold them to a draw. Lets hope so!

I think we will beat Brum.We owe them one after what happened at the Grove last month.But i dont hold out any hope for Newcastle to get any points off the Mancs,The Geordies are a very poor side.We have to make sure we keep up picking maximum points.

WHY 'SHOULD' WE BEAT BIRMINGHAM? JUST BECAUSE WE'RE THE BETTER TEAM? WELL, AS YOU KNOW, FOOTBALL DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT AND TO PRESUME IT WILL BE A FORMALITY IS ARROGANT TO SAY THE LEAST.

WE DIDN'T BEAT THEM AT HOME; HAVE JUST PLAYED TWO TOUGH GAMES, THE LAST OF WHICH WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, WHILE THEY HAVE BEEN RESTING; WE STILL HAVE INJURIES AND WILL BE FACED WITH A HOSTILE CROWD AND A TEAM DESPARATE FOR POINTS THEMSELVES. WHAT PART OF THAT ADDS UP TO 'SHOULD BEAT BIRMINGHAM'?

MAKE NO MISTAKE, THEY WILL BE READY FOR THE BATTLE AND WILL MORE THAN LIKELY TRY AND REPLICATE THE 'IN YOUR FACE' TACTICS THAT OTHERS TRY AGAINST US. IF, LIKE AT BORO, OLD TRAFFORD AND WHL, WE'RE NOT UP FOR IT, IT COULD WELL TURN OUT TO BE A LONG AND DISAPPOINTING AFTERNOON.

NOW HOPEFULLY WE WILL PLAY TO OUR ABILITIES AND HAVE A COMFORTABLE VICTORY. FAILING THAT, I DON'T EVEN MIND IF WE SCRAPE THE 3 POINTS. BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE, YOU SHOULDN'T BE TAKING MATCHES LIKE THIS FOR GRANTED.

Hopefully Newcastle can do it. I know that the form they are in is very bad but this is special. Keegan back against his old enemy. He'll be up to it, the crowd and the players should be up to it as well.

NO, JUST A CAUTIOUS ONE. I DON'T LIKE OR MAKE PREDICTIONS AND PREFER WE DON'T TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED AND TREAT EACH OPPONENT WITH RESPECT.

BUT SMOOTHIE, THAT'S PRIMARILY BASED ON ONE-EYED LOYALTY AND NOT THE FACTS. PART OF YOUR ARGUMENT FOR THINKING NEWCASTLE MIGHT GET A RESULT AGAINST MAN UNITED WAS THE FACT THAT THEY HAD RESTED WHILST MAN UTD HAD PLAYED. THE SAME THING APPLIES WHEN IT COMES TO BIRMINGHAM AND US. THEREFORE, IT SEEMS LIKE A DOUBLE STANDARD BASED ON SUBJECTIVITY.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT DURING THE SUMMER I WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL DOOM AND GLOOM MEMBERS - ALTHOUGH I PREFERRED TO CALL US 'THE REALISTS'. LIKE MOST GOONERS, I HAVE BEEN PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY OUR PROGRESS SO HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY ADAPTED MY ATTITUDE - WHICH IS WHERE I DIFFERENTIATE FROM THE OTHER CONSTANT WORRIERS LIKE AUGIE, REBEL AND GUS.

I am proud to be a member of the Realists.Being a fan for 40 years makes you become one. It also makes you appreciate the good times more.

VIVA LA REALISTS

Can't see Newcastle beating manure. not going to happen. (hope im wrong)

There shouldnt be the lack of desire from the players in the brum game or any other Premier League game as it was during the FA cup and Carling Cup matches. If we are focused, at the same time relaxed, we will win on saturday. An early goal will help and Flamini and co will have to keep the intensity high right from the whistle.

I have no hope for Newcastle against Manure, even though Keegan was bragging about his decent record against red nose.

I would just love it!! if HE beats THEM
