Places Three to Six in the Championship have had an amorphous look all season and while the
occupants of the automatic spots have an ominous aspect, few would bet on the four currently
browsing the magazines in the promotion foyer to be the exact same four come May. We said this
about Burnley last year of course, but what are the chances of the current quartet hanging on to
those lofty perches?

Everyone is having their s(pr)ay about the already notorious Thierry Henry incident. That his act
was abominably unethical is undisputed; the more significant fallout from his brazen piece of
gamesmanship is likely to be yet more discussion about the issue of video assistance for
referees.
To clear the ground first: the calls for a replay of the match are essentially unfounded.

Michael Tonge's loan move from Stoke to Preston after Tony Pulis's unsuccessful attempt to
establish the languid midfielder as a Premier League player comes as little surprise; his spell at
the Britannia Stadium having been as excitement packed as a Cabinet meeting to discuss the Lisbon
treaty. Tonge is one of a special breed of players who look the part – and his formative years in

Much has been made about Tottenham's spending (almost £150m on transfers in the last 16
months), which presumably pushes them above the Big Four in spending and leaves them second only to
Manchester City.
On the surface, it's a lot of money for not a lot of success. However, keep in mind that this
Tottenham side has also seen a lot of exits, some of them at fairly good prices too.

Newcastle fans this afternoon.

Stevenage embark on another FA Cup journey this weekend as they travel up to Stoke to face
League 2 side Port Vale. This time last year we were preparing for another trip up the M1, that
time it was to Leicester, who comfortably beat us 3-0 at the Walkers Stadium. Now though, Boro are
a much improved and experienced team.

There aren't many things worse than what's happened to our club over the past week or so, and I
was hoping that it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the NUFC players. Fortunately (and rather
fortuitously), they battled to a hard fought victory over Sheffield United.
The Blades made the Newcastle players work hard for this victory, which on another day, could so
easily have gone against us.

It's the FA Cup First Round this weekend so, in the first of five pieces about the Oldest
Cup Competition In The World (and there's a phrase that is probably copyrighted by The FA), we take
a look back at Wycombe Wanderers' run to the semi-finals of the competition in 2001.
The FA Cup is a competition that throws up surprise results every season, but some records
remain and one that may never be broken is that no-one from the bottom two divisions of the
Football League has made The FA Cup final.

Newcastle got the result they needed tonight at Bramall Lane and kept their 8th clean sheet ofÂ

When somewhat forgotten Ian Holloway took Blackpool over this summer, few
people believed that this charismatic motivator will do anything more than traditional and boring
survival fight. The team from English popular summer resort on Lancashire coast have been in
financial problems for a long time now and in the last few seasons they struggled to make the team
for the Championship.
