LucaAltieri Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 This sounds a bit like a RTG thread to me. Because it's about Newcastle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Aye. In terms of Europe next season would be no more than getting our name back out there but effectively used like the Carling Cup. Though that's how Fulham saw it pretty much until they reached the last 16. Seem to remember them playing reserve sides through the group stage and then once they looked safe in the league they had a go in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 overall gotta be over the moon with this season. but IF we'd got more from Blackpool, Wigan, Blackburn, Fulham, Stoke at home and hadnt condeded two injury time equalisers against scum n spuds... Think that word is made for our club, tbh. That or 'why'. and 'argh' and 'fuck' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think due to the bizarre nature of the table, everyone is hoping for an Arsenal win on Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 We have a tough run in No chance Safety is paramount Why do you have no chance? Mid 50s could well see you get Europe this year, hell, low 50s even due to how strangely things have been going. You've got just as much a chance as everyone else really. I think the key to this though is top 5 teams winning the 2 cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Number 9 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I would give it a bit more serious thought if we started to break away from the rest of them. Until then, it's all about the safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm becoming a tad selfish. Yesterday I was driving and heard that Irish cunt 'Paddy Power' tell Talksport that 'Newcastle were good for 5 minutes, now they're bad again.' I would love us to push on and shut these stupid wankers up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Don't see why we can't be a bit ambitious, the table is in such a way that a handful of teams could qualify for Europe. I think we'll settle into around 12th place by the seasons end. European football next season could be a bit of a burden on the squad without some serious strengthening, could be more of a hindrance than owt else. Can't really resist the thought of a Fulham-esque adventure in the Europa League though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 if we buy a decent striker and proper rhs winger then yes uefa here we come. otherwise, we will finish 10th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The fact some people are even seriously discussing qualifying for Europe means we've had a fantastic season. Long way to go yet but the lads are surpassing my expectations. Just need to hope we've got the legs to keep it going. Getting Carroll, Tiote and Ben Arfa back at the right time could be fucking moohassive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Europe ? Not a chance this season - squad too small. Let's survive first - we don't know how long Carroll will be out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It's not something we need to think about, but then it's not something that people shouldn't be allowed to consider either. No matter what our aims are, survival, mid-table, top half, Europe, what is required is the same - pick up points. Let's just go in to every game trying to get whatever points we can and see where it gets us. It's not like we need to totally change our battleplan to aim for Europe, is it, we don't have to make a choice about what we aim for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Europe would be a massive distraction to this squad - maybe in 2012 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Surely the problem of needing a deeper squad would be at least partly mitigated by becoming a much more attractive prospect for players and getting a wodge of TV money to spend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 After the Arsenal game we have decent list of fixtures. With Carroll, Tioté and Ben Arfa back we'll be even better. Still don't think it'll be enough for Europe, and tbh it's a bit like when Reading came up and Coppell was scared of qualifying for Europe. We're not ready for it and need to build a squad to cope with it first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
