A second successive loss at St James Park leaves us 5 points behind in the title race and hanging onto 2nd place with 10 games gone. The away form will be a cause of concern for Mourinho with just one win from five in the league now, in contrast to the 100% record at home - let's hope this isn't the beginning of the annual November slump.
No points for anyone this week as no posters predicted a Newcastle in and no-one predicted that Gouffran would notch the opener, so no movement whatsoever in the standings.
Next up its a return to home comforts for the CL tie against Schalke (Wednesday 6th November KO 19.45)
