I hope Newcastle's hear isn't in it for their last game, as Spurs need to finish above the **** :D

Is it only me or does anyone else think the promotion play offs are intrinsically unfair.

I know that all teams accept it as the norm these days and only the teams finishing 3rd would vote against but a league performance is over 46 games, not a two legged match.

How can it be fair that Brighton who finished 15 points ahead of Wednesday look likely to miss out, and tonight Walsall who finished 10 points in front of Barnsley are almost certainly out of it. :(

Being constructive, my suggestion to give recognition to a teams season long performances would be a 1 goal start for every five points difference in the final tables, so Wednesday would have started at 0-3 and Barnsley at 0-2.

Totally agree the play off nonsense brings nothing to the sport.

Cut the cup style crap out completely and use 3 up 3 down.
No second bites of the cherry for the also rans.

What a nice way to end the season for Mitrovic. A brilliant Newcastle performance soured by a disgusting challenge allowing Spurs an even better shot at overturning 2 goals.

Scratch that it's 3-1 at Newcastle. This is the Newcastle that should've shown their real energy this season. Pretty confident of an instant bounce back if Benitez stays. The money's there, the managers there, the board are set to be sacked but it's Newcastle... Something can only fail.

Also that was never a penalty, blatant dive.

Newcastle 5-1 Spurs... Demolished by 10 men, Benitez can't be going, I've never seen an atmosphere like this, from a relegated team, utter madness at St James' Park as Benitez chants reign out.

Big questions for Spurs, from chasing the title to being turned over in horrible fashion by a team a man down. Bottled it weeks ago and we're witnessing the implosion now.

Well it was a nice day fro a tram ride to Old Trafford, sit in my seat for 20 minutes then come back home. :(

The one upside is that now 4th place has gone they can at least rest crucial players before the Cup final.

I suggested the suspect package was Van Gaals P45. :D
