We asked for your views on your hopes for the rest of the season after Sunderland reached the magic 40-point mark after Tuesday's win at Leeds.

Here are some of your comments:

Peter: Sunderland have a solid defence and good cover in the squad. They have a good midfield and again have cover there, but there is a distinct lack of punch up front. Burnley and West Ham have scored more goals so any thoughts of Europe are far fetched to say the least. A great season, but they really do need a couple of strikers who are going to get a dozen goals or more a season, it must be the number one priority for next season.

Simon: Up for the Cup, aye! Forget Europe - even if we qualified we couldn't compete and we've seen what's happened to others: fighting relegation as a result. Next season is about consolidating but we should have a real go at a trophy now we are safe

Colin: Good to hit 40 points but now we must concentrate on establishing ourselves in this league before we start doing anything else, as for Europe we are not even close maybe in a few more seasons.

Tom: Delighted to have hit the magic 40 point mark so early. I doubt we can get European football but we should try and take a run at the FA Cup. Beat Port Vale and we are into the last 8 and we are capable of getting a result against anyone.

We asked for your thoughts after Wednesday's Premier League game between Newcastle United and Manchester United.

Here are some of your comments:

Newcastle fans

Keith: This was the best performance by Newcastle for a long time and it should motivate the team to perform in this fashion for the rest of the season.

Phil: Only a few things more satisfying than beating Man United, but a last minute winner with 10 men vs 12. This can be the momentum builder for a big end of season finish.

David: Absolutely outstanding 10 men win. Bankes has got previous several times for us, no way was that a dive by Ramsey, poetic justice in the end.

Michael: Tremendous resilience to be even level on 90 minutes. Terrible red card decision and then the equaliser in "Fergie time". Despite being one man down and the top class Ramsdale saves we were the better team in the second half and then Osula scores a worldie!! Sweeter than Apple pie.

Robert: Newcastle looked like the were hungry for the win tonight. Trippier, Linton and big Dan burn looked possessed tonight. Sending off seemed to make us want the win more. Eddie Howe is a man who is calm in everything he does and says and that keep the team together. Howay the lads.

Man Utd fans

Graham: Defeat has been coming when you look at the previous games poor individual performances and woeful passing pressing and covering leaving huge gaps for the opposition let's see how Carrick responds.

Jonathan: This was always going to happen, so in that no need to panic. However, once again showed the bench to be nowhere near good enough. Malacia and Ugarte in particular were awful. Still 4-6 players away from really competing.

John: Too much 'booting' the ball around, not enough strategic passing. Goal keeper constantly putting the ball back in play directly to a Newcastle player.

Bernard: Lacking in energy. A common complaint. Far to slow in build up and coming out of defence. Not enough running off the ball. Sharp contrast in how Newcastle players received the ball in space whilst United received the ball in tight situations.

Steven: This has been coming the last three matches no energy can't pass to one another play so slow which surprises me because Carrick has been in utd team's that play with pace we use to get the ball out quickly now it's passing from side to side and backwards even when we are behind there is just no urgency what so ever anybody would have thought we was playing with 10 and been playing in the midweek from the start of the season for me Carrick should not be the new manager at all.
