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.
Newcastle found a winning streak. The team has been able to earn full points in the last few important matches. And now they have managed to overtake Manchester United to occupy the third place in the points table. Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham teams are now fighting for the third and fourth place in the points table. Among these three teams, Tottenham's performance is the most erratic. So expect Manchester United and Newcastle to finish third and fourth in the table at the end of the season.
