A fairly strong suspicion that Newcastle we're playing the game in getting the game postponed, as they'd just lost their two most creative players and knew damn well that they'd be signing a boat load of people over the intervening weeks. No doubt all pretty cynical/calculating, but understandable I suppose.
I mostly annoyed that we weren't as street wise in getting our games vs Villa and possibly Palace postponed, when we fielded people that were sick (vs Villa) and what we might politely call a B team, maybe even a C team (vs Palace). Newcastle just maximised their position vs the rules better than us.
