indeed there was no tough mentioned, i was assuming big team meant tough game, my bad. Looking over the last 5 years, even the last 10, I wouldnt say Newcastle are a big team either, they got lucky last year by being a surprise package. In fact, looking at the last 7 years, it looks like theyre a small team that over achieved rather than a big team on a bit of a slump. Compare to Southampton though, in recent years, I can see where youre coming from.
