Are Newcastle almost a dead cert to go up?

The position they are in now is fantastic! 3rd in the table just behind Norwich and they have masses of strength and depth. I have a feeling they will kick on fom here and I cant see Huddersfeild holding on to top spot for very long.

With two of their biggest rivals in Derby and Villa floundering near the bottom of the table after a dreadful start to the season I can see them running away with it. They are a team built to smash this league and so far I can see nothing that is likely to stop them across the whole season.

Said it before a ball was kicked, and I'll say it again: they are going straight back up.

UPDATED - NEWCASTLE now Top Of The League tonight - Them and NORWICH ( look good to go up ) .

To be honest for me newcastle are a third rate outfit .im not having a go at there fans they follow them all over the country but there team never ever gave them what they deserve a trophy fa cup or league cup all they have for the past couple of seasons is do enough to stay in the premeir league even the people who run that club are a disgrace and some of there players are rubbish yes they will go up this season but it's not a done deal because anything can happen in this league but I'm sure with Rafa in charge they won't come straight back down

I placed a Newcastle to win league / Gayle to be top scorer double at start of season.

Looking good so far.
