Newcastle United have a few days to lick their wounds before one of the most crucial away games in years at Elland Road this Saturday lunchtime.
It's a game that could hardly have been stage-managed any better for the neutral with Leeds knowing they need three points to aid their survival bid, and Newcastle eyeing victory to help get them over the line as far as the Champions League is concerned.
Standing in the middle of it all is Big Sam Allardyce who of course has a history with Newcastle after being sacked by Mike Ashley in 2008 before striking the final blow to United's Premier League relegation as Sunderland boss in 2016. Getting one over on the Magpies is not at the top of his priority list these days, the former Bolton Wanderers boss is simply fighting to keep his new club Leeds in the top division.
