They have usually won the crucial games, such as Cardiff (home), Watford (home) <- league not cup, Burnley (away)

They currently have 2 on the bounce including that win v Man City. I for one wrote them off v City, Spurs and Wolves and they got 4 points and were 10 seconds away from 6. From the list of 5 games above, 3 of which are at home sadly I think they will be ok

Huddersfield played very well v Arsenal and were very unlucky. I wouldn't say that the mags beating them is a given like, far from it

Not going to happen sadly.
Well capable of getting points at West ham, Leicester, Brighton etc whilst still got 4 good home games against teams around them plus struggling Everton.
Only 2 of remaining 12 are losses - home Liverpool, away arsenal.
Agreed. We’d have been relegated in 08 if he was in charge.
Canny result last night.
Disappointing to draw so late in the game but would've definitley been happy with a draw prior to kick off.
Keeper should've punched it.

Going to buck the trend and say I thought Newcastle looked half decent last night, well organised as always...Schär looked good, Longstaff should have a long and successful career ahead of him, unlucky to draw and hard lines on the keeper who made some really important saves.
Zero chance in my mind that you'll be relegated, there are a lot worse teams without the discipline and organisation that Newcastle have, it'll be a comfortable last part of the season for you (assuming you beat Huddersfield and Burnley)
I mainly agree, but we have looked a bit poor when the onus is on us to beat teams and break them down at home.
See what Almiron is like maybe he can change things in that respect.
Beat Huddersfield and Burnley and we'll probably be fine, but you never know

No. And he never was either.

Absolute bullshit. You are talking about a manager who has won every single relegation battle he's been in. But you will never admit that in your bias against him.

It's not the way Benitez has set his team up, I think it's as simple as that...maybe he'll change the emphasis now you have Almiron as you say

Despite Benitez they will be ok. He has dissed their level compared to other clubs haven't got the 'money' players other clubs have ! He's lucky some still gave enough pride to perform despite his negativity, perhaps they see it as a shop window to get out of the circus
Im not sure it was a foul mind contact was minimal however I’d say 7 or 8 tines out of 10 it would be given as keepers are over protected.
Shit happens though. Get good and bad throughout a season.
You mustn’t be talking about Allardyce then as he has been relegated before with Notts County. Had longer than Benitez to save them too.

, and in his autobiography described how the players "would not respond" to his coaching methods as they went 18 games without a win and pressure mounted on Allardyce. However he held on to his job, and led the club to promotion as champions of Division Three at the end of the season, built upon a three-man defence and a mid-season run of ten consecutive wins. County broke several club and national records, winning the title by a 19-point margin and becoming the first post-war side to win promotion in March.Despite the success, chairman Derek Pavis refused to spend money on transfers, and as a result fell out with Allardyce. Allardyce was eventually allowed to spend £50,000 on striker , who helped the club to steer clear of relegation at the end of the campaign. In the summer he signed midfielder and utility player . Allardyce remained in charge at until 14 October 1999, when he resigned his post at Notts County to return to Bolton Wanderers. "
So he was relegated once, you're right.... in his first season though so you're wrong. Then got them straight back up.....
Since then he has never been relegated with anyone.

Wolves play shite against the little clubs.
Huddersfield turned them over and wolves were woeful, far worse than last night.
Wolves seem to struggle when teams go to their place and play defensive.
