Yep, top 6 for now. Good progress but entering December, its pretty much clear there wont be any changes in the top 3. So the best Newcastle can continue playing for is another shot at the Champions League Qualifying by achieving 4th place. That's still a reasonable goal, since they aren't so far away. I mean, its nuts, its merely half the season and the difference between 3rd place and 4th place is like 9 pts. Not only do the top 3 have to lose 3 matches, but the gap can only be closed if the nearest teams also manage to win all that 3 matches when the top ones lose. Very low chances of that happening.

Yesterday's Rugby World Cup was so intense. Never have I seen such a tight match, where victory was practically wide open to both teams. Less than half a minute to regulation time, Australia equalises. Less than few seconds left to extra time, Wilkinson scores a drop goal. That was cheeky, but I guess that was required to win the game. He could have risked losing the game, which he wouldnt want to. But that was so exciting. But then again, its the World Cup, so those kinda things are expected.
