While i wouldn`t completely disagree i feel you have missed out the several very good chances that newcastle created .Chances that a better team would have buried and , thus , buried us.It`s true that things have improved lately but we`ve only beaten villa , hull and swansea and all with goals right at the end.Bar the villa game , we were taking heavy pressure in those games and scored against the run of play.Unless we are 100% at it against utd and chelsea we`ll get smashed .I`m afraid there is a hell of a lot of hard work and hard times ahead before we get back to where we once were.
