Because they're an English team playing in the Scottish League or because they lost 6-0 yesterday?!

Jeff Stelling was almost suicidal on SSS yesterday from what I saw. He seems to be resigned to relegation, bit early yet.

I hate to say this, but Steve has turned Derby into a real good team.

I need to now go and shower, i feel dirty saying that.

This Newcastle v Sheffield game is an embarrassment to football.

Sheffield have spent 40 minutes time wasting, into the last 5 minutes, and three players on the floor pretending to be injured. Ref will probably give the standard 3 minutes injury time as usual and let them get away with it. Ross Wallace should be off, just kicks a newcastle lad making no attempt to play a ball, then rolls around for 3 minutes... yawn.

If I was the ref Id play 25 minutes.

6 minutes injury time in the end!

I thought Sheff W were worthy winners last night, Newcastle weren't at their best in another home defeat.

Just as well their away form is phenomenal.

Looks like Newcastle maybe targeting Callum Wilson in the January transfer window.

I think it would be a good move for all concerned. He still hasn't got back to his best since his injury, and he only had a handful of Premier games under his belt when he snapped his ACL. A step down to the Championship where he knows he's a quality striker may help him considerably.

Matt Ritchie was looking a bit like Wilson does right now towards the end of last season, and look at him now!

Brighton get battered for 90 minutes today, but score two goals in two minutes in the second half to win...... Newcastle have apparently dominated Blackburn, but couldnt score!

Top of the league!

We have absolutely no plan B and make substitutions too late. I still think we'll get promoted but we need to work out how to score against teams that defend with all 11 men.

Brighton are running away with it at the moment! Pleased for Chris Hughton.

I saw the second half of Blackburn v Newcastle. I didn't think they dominated, struggling for ideas on how to break Blackburn down and the home side gained more confidence as the half wore on and eventually scored from a free kick after a laboured foul from Colbeck, who I don't rate.

I don't know much about Gouffran and Diame, but they were both very poor, and don't look up for the fight.

Newcastle should still do it, as there doesn't look to be another side in the league, apart from Brighton capable of matching them over the long haul.

Leeds have been going well in recent weeks, but not sure they're good enough for the top two.

Just going on the match report I read, said Newcastle hit the bar and generally had all the game and chances.
