Newcastle United are within swinging distance of Premier League safety - with 11 matches still to play. In what is turning into a remarkable season of two halves, the Magpies are now 10 points clear of the drop zone.
As the rain pelted into the faces of the travelling Geordie contingent it did feel like something significant was growing for the black and whites. The tops came off, the Brazilian flags were flying and the noise levels were phenomenal. This felt like a home game - only we were in Hampshire and 321 miles away from home on a Thursday night!
United fought back from a goal down with Chris Wood levelling the game up before the break and Bruno Guimaraes backheeling his way into Toon folklore.
