Boro Game Bigger Than The Next Two?

We need six points out of the last three games, and does it matter who we get them off?

Everyone is saying the Boro game is the biggest game in twenty years (and they said the same about the Portsmouth fixture) ... but the next two (Fulham and Villa) will be even more important if we need the points to keep us up.

Nicky Butt: "I've been fortunate to play in big games where you've got trophies to win, which are massive games.

"But if you don't win a trophy or win a final you don't get the consequences if you get relegated so I think this is up there with the biggest games I've ever played in.

"We've been saying it for weeks now. Every game is getting bigger and bigger and bigger, but this is a game we must win. We must go out there in front of our home fans and put on a performance that makes them get behind us and allows them to drive us forward.

"If you look down our squad, without blowing our own trumpet, we've got bigger players.

"I'm a Newcastle United player and I do believe we've got a better squad, a better team and we've got a bigger club."
