Newcastle's last home game of the season was an emotional affair as we needed to win or draw to complete our unbeaten home run for the season. Up against mackem old boy Roy Keane Newcastle surley would not let him spoil our party. Keane's acknowledgement of us being the best team in the league came as a surprise as did the two Ipswich goals that held us to a draw in the last home match.
We almost had the game wrapped up before Ipswich got away in the last minute and put them level on 2-2 but this goal did look a bit dodgy on the offside front. Keane mentioned after the game NUFC looked like a team who had already won the title and were a little less concerned about this one. However that has been Newcastle's problem this season. Yes we have promotion and yes we have the title but don't forget it is the championship and we do have a premiership squad. We have battled this season when it counted and played some good football but there have been times when all football has deserted us and the product was hard to stomach. Let's not forget that this performance will not be tolerated in the Prem. The top teams will inevitably destroy us if we approach games like away at Leicester and Swansea.
A good season all the same but one which should never have taken place and one best put behind us.
Well done for getting us back up and please, please Assly get out of our club.
