I have mixed feelings about Newcastle going down. They clearly were awful throughout the season and did become more like a circus than a football team as it went on. Saying that there's always a thrill of playing (and especially beating) a team like Newcastle, even when they're terrible, that i just don't get when facing someone like Hull. It's impossible to really justify my position but I just get more excited at the prospect of beating a 'big' team that's bad than I do a 'small' one that's doing well. I mean, apart from the points that are either gained or dropped, who really cares whether they beat Wigan or not?
