I thought they would back into it, but it feels worse than I thought it would. Come on and score one goal against West Brom at home for Christ's sake! Sure, I would have taken 17th place at the beginning of the year, but let's keep some of this extra money for finishing higher. If Ashley goes - and there's no reason to believe he will - we could build something special with Rafa. Then Newcastle fans might return here and share a hope to challenge for European places. Howay the lads!
