Last year, there were some 6,000 empty seats in St James’ Park for the visit of the Wenger boys and the odds on a Newcastle Top 4 finish were a hefty 100/1.
My ‘expectations’ for this season would probably be to finish in the top 10. My hopes however, would be to emulate last season and take the fight for the last Champions League spot down to the wire once again.
Senegal’s chances of qualifying for the AFCON now seem extremely slim with the likes of Drogba, Toure, Gervinho and Newcastle’s own Cheick Tiote standing in their way.
