Up the Toon!

Just a quick Post. One team that I didn't mention that I should've done is the suprise package so far this season; Newcastle. Along with Manchester City and United they are unbeaten and lie 4th after an impressive 2-2 all with Spurs. Shoala Ameobi looks like a new man and the signing of Demba Ba from West Ham looks like a masterstroke.

It's great to see that a group of players that are not seen as world beaters are mixing it with the so called big teams, but then again it wasn't long ago that Newcastle were consistently in the fight for a top 4 finish. Only a couple of years ago the unthinkable was happening and relegation to the championship became a dire reality.

Even when they got back immediatly into the premier league, it wasn't plain sailing. Chris Hughton was unfairly sacked and Alan Pardew was brought in at first without 100% player and fan support, but he has turned it around brilliantly as he now is the highest placed English Manager in the league at the moment. England job anyone?

Personally I feel they will not finish fourth and a top 10 finish is a more realistic target, but as always in football you never truly know until it has happened!

Thanks for reading and until next time, The Outsider is Out! :)
