Newcastle has surprised all this season. A strong start, allowing just five goals at home, while scoring eight, was a shock to many. After losing Andy Carroll under much scrutiny, one would rather expect the team to not be on such a high. Sadly, that high might just be ending. The next three weeks, Newcastle goes on the road to play Man City and Man U, then returns home for a match-up against fourth place Chelsea. This will be a tough period for Alan Pardew's boys. This is the chance that Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool have been looking for,(Chelsea especially, looking to climb back into the top three and then the top two.)
Meanwhile, Chelsea have continued their search for a new stadium. They have the eighth largest stadium in England, and 61st in Europe. Chelsea's chief executive Rob Gourlay said that they could struggle in Europe if they don't expand to a larger stadium, something that Champions League crazy owner Roman Abramovich would be displeased with. Also, manager Andre Villas-Boas had said that he "feels no pressure to perform," while he does say that "the fans will have his head", and does not see himself there longterm. No comparison to Mourhino huh?
