The battle of the newly-promoted team will see Newcastle visiting West Brom on Sunday in a game that is very important for both sides. The two promoted teams enjoyed a good start to the season and after 15 games Newcasle are 9th in the table while West Brom are 12th, tied on 19 points. Whoever wins this one will have a stronger position in the top 10 while the losing side might slide down towards the relegation zone.
Good decision, they need a more experienced manager.
That is a shocking decision, the team was doing pretty well!
Following the 3-1 defeat at West Bromwich Albion last Sunday Newcastle have parted company with manager Chris Hughton, the man who drove the team back to the Premier League. Newcastle are in 11th spot after 16 games as they recorded 5 wins, 4 draws and seven losses.
After Chris Hughton's dismissal Newcastle are searching for a new manager. Bets are already being made on who will be the next man in charge and the following five coaches are the favourites according to most bookmakers.
Newcastle and Liverpool will meet on Saturday and the two teams are in quite different situations. Newcastle have just sacked manager Chris Hughton after the defeat at West Brom while Liverpool seem to be gaining some momentum after beating Aston Villa in the last match day.
Yes, they'll have too much for the likes of West Brom, Forest etc.
No, it will be a repeat of 1996 and they'll throw the title away to other contenders
Newcastle United have done well this season to avenge for their Premier League relegation in 2009. A new manager, new players and their loyal fans behind them. Top of the table by 6 points as it stands with 13 games left to play. Can Chris Hughton lead the Magpies back to the Premier League?
Promoted Newcastle will have the chance to finish the year in the top half of the table if they will manage a good result against third placed Man City on Sunday. Newcastle are sitting eighth and their last weekend game was postponed while Manchester City missed the chance to move top of the table after getting beaten at home by Everton last Monday.
Yes, he's scoring goals with his head, something England have lacked!
A Coca Cola Championship player on the plane to S.A - No chance!
Andy Carroll scored yet again today for Newcastle United bringing his tally for the Magpies, into double figures. Reports have been suggesting that Fabio Capello is looking at the possibility of bringing Carroll to the World Cup, however, many people believe he'll look no further than Peter Crouch. Is their any chance of the Geordie playing in South Africa?
Tottenham will be looking to extend their unbeaten run tomorrow as they will welcome promoted Newcastle to White Hart Lane. The Spurs grabbed an important Boxing Day win at Aston Villa while Newcastle were beaten at home by Manchester City.
Newcastle had a great season in the Championship and are bouncing straight back to the Premier League after just one year. Can they survive next season?
Wigan managed to move a few places above the relegation zone after beating Wolves away from home and earning a 2-2 home draw against Arsenal but Sunday's game will see them facing 13th placed Newcastle, a team that lost the last two games (3-1 at home with Man City and 2-0 away at Tottenham).
