After salvaging a late draw at home to S*nd*rl*nd and falling to defeat away to Arsenal, the season is Newcastle United's to throw away now.
Promising results have been consistent yet surprising for the Magpies this term and the current league position reflects that rate of performance.
However with the likes of Liverpool, S*nd*rl*nd, Everton and Fulham all sitting just below in the standings and finding more momentum in picking up points than the Geordies, I for one am beginning to worry.
A sexy sixth spot could very easily transform into a tenth or even bottom half finish if heads drop and a 4-5-1 timewasting and defensive show is continued to be put on between now and mid-May.
It appears that things are turning stale in Alan Pardew's camp and there was little entertainment for a Newcastle fan watching the dour gamplan enforced by the Toon Army and I was falling into the belief that the black stripes were actually red and it was Stoke City playing and not the exuberant team I've watched all season.
The Gunners' 21 shots to the Magpies sparse 5 tell the obvious story and as a result kept an in-form and fired up Tim Krul busy. Unfortunately because of that, I cannot sit here full of excitement and will be antipaticing a very nervous finale to the campaign.
Howay the lads!
