Newcastle seem to have gone into overdrive of late, they keep scoring too many goals and just last night they got 5 passed westham which was unexpected!
And if Manchester United and Newcastle end this campaign with same points they will remain on top because of their superior goal scoring... I guess big money is now working at Newcastle , wonder if these guys are given goal scoring bonuses because the team looks highly motivated and getting the job done.
From the look of things a top four finish looks guaranteed for these guys, thanks to their consistency.
Newcastle had a bad spell in the autumn, but then they were able to overcome their draw tendencies and went on a long winning streak. Now it looks like history has repeated itself - they survived the recession and began to churn out victories. In such conditions, Tottenham (which have played one game more, while they have 3 points less) has no chance to break into the fight for the top 4. Not to mention the clubs that are even lower.
what Newcastle did was inseparable from their big motivation to be able to finish in the top 4 and get a ticket to the UCL and with the inconsistency of Manchester United and Tottenham, they were able to take very good use of the Newcastle team to continue to maintain their position.
I think Newcastle are playing pretty good right now and they have a very big chance to finish in the top 4 of the final standings.
Manchester United are underperforming at the moment and Tottenham are also inconsistent so it will be very profitable for Newcastle.
