Brighton 0-2 Crystal Palace (0-2 agg) So, we'll just have to go back to dreading getting Brighton again in the FA Cup draw instead of worrying about playing them twice a season in the league.

Malcolm MacDonald has told Sky Sports Tyne and Wear exactly what is up when it comes to Newcastle United... and I, for one, agree with him utterly and completely.

I just saw this in an article that came out the other day on ESPN, but this goes back even further. Apparently some bigoted groups attacked Cisse's girlfriend Rachelle Graham on a website, disparaging her charity efforts because she's in a mixed-race couple. Disgusting, really, but I thought we all should know.

Roberto Martinez is at pains to point out there's no comparison between Luis Suarez and Callum McManaman.

It's buried in what basically amounts to a daily news roundup, but apparently the Metro (a Newcastle-area publication or a London publication? I don't know) is reporting that Alan Pardew still wants Loic Remy, who is expected to be worth 8 million pounds in the mass relegation exodus from QPR

A sad end for a man who's been with the club while a dozen managers have come and gone.

Massadio Haidara escapes both significant bone and ligament damage from Callum McManaman's dangerous tackle and could be fit to play again in early April.

Go crazy folks!

The whole podcast is worth listening to, but the bit about Newcastle supporters starts at around the 12 minute mark.
