Barclays Premier League 2013/14

Rumours flying around on Twitter that Carroll will have to retire due to his injury problems. No reliable sources as of yet though.

3-0 is a bit harsh for Cardiff, dominated the 2nd half.

But a win there is brilliant, considering their record against the other big teams.

They didn't dominate shit, they just actually tried to do something in the second half. They had one really good chance and missed it.

Jol's time has gotta be up.

Actually want Tottenham to win tomorrow now ffs.

I'm loving this mini-revival Shola's been enjoying recently.

Newcastle would be second now if they had beaten Sunderland.

16/18 points taken from when Shola has been available.

I doubt this run would have happened, if Newcastle beat Sunderland.

It is a major annoyance of being quite good, you begin to really regret the bad results, if only Newcastle beat Hull, Sunderland and West Ham, and got the draw against Everton. Top.

Crazier to think that after the Sunderland game, most people would have loved to see Pardew sacked, and a month later he will (almost certainly be manager of the month. No doubt Arsenal fans will feel much the same about the Villa and WBA games.

More importantly though Newcastle have opened a big lead over Swansea, WBA and Aston Villa. Arguably in a mini-league with Everton and Southampton at the moment. In the upper mid-table battle.

Rating of Cisse very harsh considering he came on about 10 seconds from the end of the game

Hull owner Assem Allam has told fans "they can die as soon as they want" in response to protests about his plans to change the club's name.
