Karjala Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I would say all of our fixtures are winnable, and certainly possible to go undefeated. One game at a time tho, lets beat Burlton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paxton Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Bold statement but I don't think we'll lose another game this season, depends on whether the title goes down to the last game of the season, as we have United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Newcastle-can-exploit-Chelsea-fixture-pile-up-to-pip-them-to-European-place-says-Alan-Pardew-article887538.html Pardew: We can beat Chelsea without beating Chelsea Published 22:30 07/04/12 By Brian McNally Alan Pardew believes his Newcastle side can exploit Chelsea’s fixture pile-up and snatch fifth place from the Champions League and FA Cup semi-finalists. The Toon boss feels his Magpies could even lose when they visit Stamford Bridge on May 2 and still pip the west Londoners in the fight for European qualification. The reason for Pardew’s optimism is that Chelsea have at least eight fixtures between now and the season’s end on May 13. And that could increase to TEN if they beat Spurs in their FA Cup semi-final clash next Sunday and reach the Champions League Final. Newcastle, by contrast, have just six games left, with the next two - Bolton on Monday and Stoke on April 16 - are at home. Pardew, whose side won at Swansea on Good Friday, said: “The whole period for Chelsea, more so than us, is crucial. "We can do it without that Chelsea game. I mean, we could lose that game at Stamford Bridge and still finish above them. “They have two semi-finals games against Barcelona in the Champions League and Spurs in the FA Cup, and then maybe an FA Cup Final on May 5, when they are scheduled to play a league game at Liverpool. “They’re being pulled in a lot of directions so I don’t think for us, particularly, where we finish will come down to that game between us. “What happens to us will be down to our own results and, actually, will be about Chelsea’s other results. “We’re in the lap of the gods a bit because Chelsea have a big determination on things. “You also have the Liverpool-Everton FA Cup semi that is going to impact on it [European qualification]. It would, of course, suit our European hopes if Liverpool won that tie. “Everton could get through to the final and I still think the rule needs to be looked at because, if we finish higher than them in the Premier League, that has to be better than the runners-up in the FA Cup qualifying for the Europa League. "If Everton win the FA Cup, I'd say, 'Fair enough.'" But Pardew insisted he would have mixed feelings if Newcastle’s fine season did not result in a Europa Cup slot. He said: “There will be one side of me quite pleased if we don’t qualify for Europe, because it will mean we can attack next season without having the extra pressure of Europa League. “Having said that, the other side of me would welcome it because it would take the club forward, bond some of the players to the club, and it would be an achievement of sorts. We could also perhaps add to the squad with the extra finance we’d get.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That then puts HUGE pressure on them with us only 2 points behind them, we win against Bolton thmora and we go above them! Imagine if Norwich do us a big favour at Spurs too?

Really enjoying being a toon fan at the moment. 6 games left and there is a reasonable chance of finishing 3rd. Two years after relegation and considering all the shit thats went on with us in the last 5 years, it really it amazing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll lose it for sure, but at least we'll have the Europa league. And stop a rival from getting an extra ~£20m... eg money to spend take our players away. Despite our form I just can't see anything but a defeat when we play chelsea in a few games. Though would like to think things would even up after the luiz fiasco earlier in the season.
