Newcastle's win against Crystal Palace makes it 6 in a row at St. James' park. The last time Toon managed to do that was in 2004 under Sir Bobby Robson.
Howe is doing an incredible job there since he took over and Bruno Guimaraes really does look like a top player in the making.
Their next home game? Liverpool. Will be interesting for sure.

I had 2-0 originally but then upped it by one to 3-0 once I saw Ron wasn't playing and the rest of the starting line-up/squad. A couple of players I'd never even heard of before.
It was free money to bet on LFC yesterday. Too bad we couldn't get better odds on it.I am thinking Chelsea should win London derby today. Based on recent form and Arsenal struggles this could be a much easier game for them then usual. My bet goes on Chelsea ML @2.1 and it almost feels to good to get odds like that on this game.

@cryptofrka: Nah, I've picked City to win, but I do have a traditional bet against them just in case 
Happy to lose Superbru points all day long if City doesn't win, though!
@hilarious huh yeah. Had to double back when I heard commentator say Hannibal was coming on. Never heard nor seen the guy till last night, have him to thank for getting a booking as that was on my ticket.
Be well, get better, watch football when it heals you. Been there with Liverpool, never saw Klopp coming, perhaps the only way for a club to renew is to rot completely. Happy United is down but as City has shown, you actually improve when you've got rivals as good or better than you =)

Anybody here thinking Brighton can take something away from City tonight?
They really have good results against the big teams away from home. They drew against Liverpool, Chelsea, West Ham and Leicester and won against Arsenal and Tottenham.
The only current top 10 team that beat them at home is Man Utd (they have yet to play against Wolves).
Would be a bit much to expect but City has a really easy fixture list so I'm holding on to things like these

Nah, not away. I know Brighton beat Spurs away last week but City are a different animal and are in the title race so I'd be very surprised if they even get a point from this. A win for them tonight will take them back top but anything else will see them stay in second place.
I missed the correct score by just one goal,had Liverpool to win 4-1 but Manchester United without Cristiano is not able to score and it looks like they depend on him heavily to score goals and win games,anyway it was widely expected for them to lose and Liverpool to win.

easy schedule could be a hit, if they do not play at their highest, maybe FA match is still in their heads
solid results from Brighton against top10 teams, did not follow that earlier, but on the other had they have bad results against teams from Manchester away
, losing to Unitedit is all statistics
interesting matches tonight, we play with Leicester (Burnley took important point from West Ham), and Chelsea is fighting Arsenal

I have set a conservative score for Manchester City to win 2-0 with Brighton because of those results you have mentioned above.However chances are really slim for them to draw here as Manchester City will be extremely focused to win this game and we all know they have the power to do so against any team not just Brighton.I expect an easy win and clean sheet from Manchester City tonight as Brighton is a team who rarely scores against teams that keep a lot the ball like City does.

Pretty sure that it is done for us already this season
They only can have hope to entry in the Champions League next season because the other teams keep losing points.
Pretty sure that it is done for us already this season
yeah, it does seems that fight will continue between Tottenham and Arsenal, but both of those are also started to losing points, so they could leave space for United to join, you never know
but, it is sad to see United playing like this, there is no fight, nothing, and they conceived four goals, Liverpool had ball most of the time, it was not even interesting to watch, you knew the score before the match
somehow, I did not expected four goals, but it is obvious that it is easier to score 4 pieces against Manchester, than against Burnley that defends and fight for every ball

Well, I know some people say United are where Liverpool was 10 years ago and in some respects it's true but it's actually much much worse for United Why?
Unlike Liverpool 10 years ago, United are spending almost at the top of the pyramid, never stopped attracting or having superstars and even the best coaches. But the mentality is simply not there. Other squads like Arsenal and even Spurs I think at least do their best and show on the field they're working hard. United have players just ballwatching and looking tired after playing only 15 minutes??? Chelsea, City, Liverpool have all played 55+ games and they look as hungry as ever. United played 43 before last night, even less than Championship teams! I saw teams like Arsenal and Liverpool when they were down and felt sympathy. It's impossible to feel sympathy for Manchester United.
Anyway, classy tribute from Liverpool/United to Ronaldo, sad news
One side note have to say guys, I really didn't expect to be up in the pool so late the season, more so when I'm not even taking my time making picks like in La Liga where I'm doing so badly I feel like quitting lol. 7 more games left so of course must not get complacent or rather in my case, keep random picks quick!

Would have been the easiest money I've ever earned, but I didn't have time to check the line ups, and I had bloody Jota to score one didn't I, along with a bet builder which was a 56.00 bet. Everything else came in, but Jota scoring off course. My fault, I should have looked at the starting line ups, and changed my bet. I made the best a day before to be fair assuming that Jota would be in before Diaz, and then use Diaz against a tired Man Utd defense.
So did you take the 4-0 correct score on this game? totally spot on for this one
I'm going to go a little more conservative, and say a 4-0, although arguably Manchester United haven't improved much from the last time we played them
I knew that it was already over for the team when Diaz scored on the 5th minute. I knew that we are going to lose but I was hoping that I could watch the team hold Liverpool during the 1st half but ended up getting crushed as if Liverpool is playing against all those bottom list teams
They only can have hope to entry in the Champions League next season because the other teams keep losing points.

What a shit performance for United, anyways i celebrate this because United is one of the team that follow the new current of;
1 youn player makes a hat trick and buy him for 1000000000 millions of dollars and say oh yes he is the new Messi or Ronaldo, stop that shit stop the overvalue of players with no sense.
1 youn player makes a hat trick and buy him for 1000000000 millions of dollars and say oh yes he is the new Messi or Ronaldo, stop that shit stop the overvalue of players with no sense.
I wasn't expecting any much different performance from Man United to begin with but losing 4-0 is not something that the fans would find acceptable, and the attitude of the team doesn't seem right too, playing as though they're leading after being 2 goals, the zeal and hunger just was never there.
Champions League football next season is becoming more like a dream they'll not fulfil this season, perhaps if City or Liverpool should the CL then, the 5th slot might give them another shot at it.
Tottally agree man, the worst thing its the attitude the players are having, they play like a lose teamwith zero hunger as you say.

Anyway, what can I say this is probably one of the only times I've not been nervous facing Man Utd, usually form doesn't matter, but there's something seriously wrong in that dressing room, and it certainly isn't quality. I'm not sure what the way back is for them, and I honestly can't say who should be managing them.

What a comprehensive review of European spots in Premier League, appreciate it. I knew there was gonna be a lot of spots but it is one thing when you think about it and another when you put it on paper.
Really sad about that whole Ronaldo situation. Sort of curbs my enthusiasm to cheer when Liverpool is destroying them tonight.
Really sad about that whole Ronaldo situation. Sort of curbs my enthusiasm to cheer when Liverpool is destroying them tonight.
It's pretty crazy to think about it, if we really get 9 teams in Europe, that's half the league almost -- but of course, it all depends on how positions line up as domestic qualification works out and that's really quite vague given the inconsistencies of every team outside top 2.
all three teams, candidates for fourth place maybe should consider whether they really want to play CL next year. if they sacrifice a couple of games in the CL, (in the group stage it will certainly be less attractive opponents) and dedicate themselves entirely to PL, I believe they could make some better results and perhaps introduce a little more uncertainty. I am thinking primarily of Arsenal and Man United.
obvious examples are Leicester and West Ham, which looked bad for the weekend after the European matches.
btw. my health has been bad lately, I just turned off the TV. I can't watch United tonight.

I just read your post about Ronaldo too in the rev thread, I had no idea, and definitely, it takes away from any joy, and we remember that these players are also human -- countless tales of professionals taking to the pitch despite whatever is going on around them personally. We forget sometimes in statistifying their performance that their personal affairs are never accounted for. United will miss him. They always do. Even more tonight.

Soon as I talked about this "2-1" score, changed my Brentford to 2-1 and it hit, 2 exacts on 2-1. I haven't really been paying attention to it as 3-1, 3-0 and 2-0 have been my favourite picks this season in EPL, mainly because the way they seem to be scoring goals (even... dare I say, Wolves, have become that team).
Anyway, prepare for a season of English football in Europe next season. Because of Conference, domestic placing already sees 7 teams go to Europe (Spurs was the lucky Conference devirginiser this season).
BUT Liverpool won Carabao cup (winner is Conference league also) AND cannot finish lower than 5th, so the extra space transfers to 8th place.
Liverpool/Chelsea will also win FA Cup, so they free up a spot in Europa as neither team can finish lower than 6th (well, technically, Chelsea still could, but they'd have to lose 3/4 games, to let Spurs, Arsenal, United catch up, but... yeah right?). So Europa spot transfers also.
Another curious thing that might happen: if City/Liverpool win UCL, then one lucky country 11th in UEFA coefficient, gets a bye to CL group stage (as they won't need to meet English team to qualify). This is Scotland currently, but if Russia don't see themselves able to play, Scotland becomes 10th, so the lucky country becomes... Ukraine. Shakhtar/Dynamo Kyiv in group stage?

it will be a lot, but aside from Champions league, English clubs do not go that far in other competitions, there is more teams from other leagues in the end
CL - 2 english, 2 spanish teams
EL - 2 german, 1 english, 1 scottish
ECL - 1 team from England, Italy, Netherland, France
my picks for titles are Liverpool, Rangers and Feyenoord, respectively
