I think Rafa would guide Newcastle straight back to the premier league if he remained in charge, providing Mitrovic is sent back to Serbia. Someone like that in the squad - almost no technical ability but lots of force not all legitimately used - drags the entire ethos of the team down in my view.

You would imagine many of those Bournemouth players would be off on holiday this week. Another weeks training for them.they won't be happy.

Just to confirm - are Saints in the Europa League, or have they qualified for the knock-outs?

I'm not Newcastle fan but I would like to see him stay and get them back into prem. He's certainly capable of doing it. Also because of who he is I think a lot players will want to go there even if they're not top quality, they'll still be good enough to get them back up. He needs to be given the funds and I think Ashley will do that.

Arsenal's season of discontent is going to finish with them clinching their highest league position in 11 years above a Spurs side who pretty much outpaced them all season long.
As someone once said, it's a funny old game. |

I can't really work it out but it says that if man Utd win the fa cup and they have already qualified for Europe their space would go to the highest finishing team who hasn't already qualified for Europe

Mitrovic maybe a thug at times, however from watching him the last few games, he's a key player who kept the hope of staying the PL alive. He scored or assisted most of the goals in the last few games. I think he reminds me of a young Eric Cantona, and I feel he has the potential to be such a prolific footballer for Newcastle. |

But ultimately the table doesn't lie. Spurs in their best season without silverware since the 60's have still finished below a poor Arsenal side. The whole spurs power shift thing is why Arsenal fans are giving it right back to spurs fans today after taking abuse from them all season.

It is strange seeing the Newcastle looking so miserable even though their team scored five, and won, even with a man sent off

To me, I think it's going to depended on Rafa's motivation, if it's enough of a challenge and worthwhile for him to consider staying. There's also the weighing up the worry of being stuck in the championship, as if he doesn't get out now, he'll be locked in with the contract, and could be in the championship for more than one season. Obviously the best case scenario would be for Rafa managing and coming straight back up into the PL, but there's no guarantee with football. If Newcastle come straight back up with Rafa as manager, I wonder where they be in the PL, can they make it all the way to the top?

I think since Rafa has signed a 3 year contract he'll stay for one more year. Even more so if Ashley promises him the funds to fight for at least top 6 in the prem.
