Watford it is then 
Up till the end of January all our games bar 2 are Saturday KO's. The other 2 look to be Monday nights so happy with that. Also think the list has been kind enough to us with the toughest games being Arsenal and City back to back at the end of August, Manure and Spurs back to back in October, Maybe a case could be had for Newcastle and Manure back to back in March but the rest are evenly spaced out. Our last 8 games are winnable with the only real threat being Chelsea 2nd last game but by that stage hopefully a win or loss wont matter.

Newcastle are Championship level still and despite the Rafa effect they shouldn't pose us a problem at all.

Think so myself.
In saying that though I do think they will take points off a few sides this year that they shouldn't because of the Rafa effect. Tactically he is as good as anyone.

Rafa will need a few seasons in the prem to get Newcastle kicking. I think they will do well though. If Rafa gets backing from the owners ans buys the right players he will have success with the toon.

His teams will always be hard to break down. Remember the Christmas tree formation where basically everyone was defending?
