Whether Newcastle win, loose, or draw this match today, it could decide their Champions League future. They need to win. They already lost to Everton and Fulham, and drew to Aston Villa. Not brilliant considering they were chasing the title!

Mackems match worth £15M!

Today's clash with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, could decide Newcastle's future in the Champions League.
Sir bobby said a few weeks ago that Newcastle needed only 10 points out of six games to qualify. Easy! I hear you say! Or not..
Newcastle lost to Everton and Fulham, and only drew with Aston Villa. ONE POINT from three games. With three games left and 9 points needed, it will be tough, but Robson said:
"I am not nervous. Even though we'll face a crescendo of noise at the Stadium of Light we can handle it.
"We are playing for Champions League football at Sunderland - I know it and so do the players.
"The consequences of defeat are horrendous. We all realise that.
"I am not happy Sunderland are down but I am happy it is not us who can put them down.
"They have lost 12 in a row and this run will have to end sometime. What we have got to do is to make sure it does not end against us.
"If we play to our capabilities we should be all right."
