ACN 2013?

Is this the case?
If there is one next year, Cisse and Ba will leave again (If Senegal qualify).
And we will be in ANOTHER striker crisis, and there is not a lot we can do about it. If we don't buy another attacking player this season we will be in a right muddle. However, if Ba does leave in the summer, we have to replace him with a striker who isn't african. No exceptions. It's not like Pardew is going to buy another striker, even if we got rid of Best, Lovenkrands and Nile Ranger. I don't think we'll get another striker.

Plus, Lawro went for a draw. So it's a win or a loss..
Swansea v Newcastle (1630 BST)

I've read that Newcastle fans don't think their side is getting enough praise for the way they are playing, but I think most people would agree that the Magpies are enjoying an outstanding season.
They despatched Liverpool relatively easily on Sunday, once they had scored the first goal, and you would expect them to cause Swansea problems.
Papiss Demba Cisse and Demba Ba look a real threat in attack and, behind them, Hatem Ben Arfa is again showing us what a good player he is.
They will not have things all their own way at the Liberty Stadium, though. Swansea have lost their last two games, against Everton and Tottenham but they will not be rolled over here.
Can Newcastle catch Tottenham or Arsenal for a place in the top four and the Champions League? I'd say no. Alan Pardew's men will keep on picking up points between now and the end of the season but I don't see Spurs or the Gunners being caught.
Prediction: 1-1

I think you're over-exaggerating really. Worst outcome: they're away for 7 games. We have to play Best and/or Shola with HBA in there.

Not ideal, but Best + HBA are easily good enough to cause problems against most teams

But if we are challenging for a top 5 place. Playing 7 games with a bottom of the table strike force, isn't going to help our chances.

I think if we got a dangerous left winger, we'd be fine but we don't have one.
