Newcastle's win yesterday failed to elevate them from their position of tenth in the Premiership, although a loss would have sent them sliding towards the relegation battle. Interestingly, they're now only three points away from third - there are only six points separating third from 13th.
Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic continue to amaze. Their impressive win against Portsmouth yesterday combined with Chelsea's defeat at the hands of Man. Utd. means that they keep their second spot, four points clear of Man. Utd. in third, and six points behind Chelsea with a game in hand.
I watched the Wigan match yesterday, and their performance was impressive, against a lacklustre Pompey. I also watched Tony Blair's appearance on Football Focus, which was less so.
