TomYam Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 What a difference one week has made. Last week, before the Fulham game, I thought we'd finish anywhere from 7th to 12th. Now 6th to 9th - and more likely 6th than 9th. Outstanding results and hopefully more of the same next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Our lads and Howe are fired up for this. Bruno, Anderson, Gordon, they aren’t players who are going to play anything less than total commitment. Isak’s in the best form of his life. Barnes as well. We could very realistically go unbeaten until the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the respective fixtures we have, we'd have had a canny prospect of catching Tottenham. Look at it this way, we should have beaten Everton and then lost to Fulham.

HaydnNUFC Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Just now, Kid Icarus said: Look at it this way, we should have beaten Everton and then lost to Fulham. @LFEE said the exact same thing post match. I agree. Sort of. I just can't stop cursing that result. If we'd won that we'd have been 8 points behind Spurs with 3 kind fixtures coming up, especially compared to their next 3. They also have to play Man City again. Would've been a big ask going for 9 points from the next 9 and garnering 5 consecutive wins with our injury problems but it would've been a distinct possibility.

andyc35i Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I really think we can finish 5th and it will be above Villa. I mean I’m banking on Villa losing today and only picking up at most 4 points from their next 3 homes games. Let’s aim for five wins and a draw and get to 66 points and see where that takes us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I feel that it levels out over a season so I think it´s fair with were we are now, we havent been playing well enough for long periods. So keep pushing and we can still take a european places! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, given our injuries we were always going to have some shockers. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Spurs run in is not kind to them at all and we could feasibly win out the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Just seen Spurs' fixtures. We do our thing, there's potential for them to only pick up 5 or 6 pts. More we win, the more they lose, the more the pressure builds on them. Would be a fantastic collapse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Anyone else really enjoying their footy at the moment and more over really enjoying Newcastle. It's dawned on me that this is as bad as its going to get under Howe. We've had the worst cup draws and the worst injury crisis I've ever seen and as far as I can tell we are going to be playing European football at a canter. In the summer, the squad will improve, maybe just a little, maybe alot but we will get another couple of quality players in, Tonali back and all things being equal, a much more favourable schedule and treatment table. I'd be flabbergasted if next year we don't get top 6. There's also the added bonus that Liverpool will be in transition (Klopp, Salah and VVD perhaps leaving), Man United will either still have egg head or they too will be in transition, Spurs will have the demands of 2 games a week (and we saw how shite they can be), as will Villa. Next year is all set up to be a cracking year and I for one can't wait for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) honesty how the fuck do Man U do it? their xPts according to Understat almost has them in a relegation battle ffs am pretty sure last season they were also lucky to finish ahead of us remember trawling Red Cafe last season and they had a thread about whether Newcastle would finish ahead of them - anyone who suggested yes was torn apart the logic being that we played terrible football and they couldn't understand how we scored so many goals unbelievable Edited April 14 by Ginola14 cropped out bottom 3, so not quite relegation battle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 remarkably we've now scored more goals this season after 32 games than all last season imagine what what this team could have done without the never ending worst injury crisis ever and Tonali ban Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bally21 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) The game at manure will be massive.. I think we will finish 6th or 7th - and that game will be critical in terms of which of those positions it is. Edited April 14 by Bally21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bally21 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) There is a lot of uncertainty regards Premier league place and European competition qualification- if a) Premier league gets 5 CL spots and b) FA cup winner comes from top 6, then 6th and 7th get europa league... if one of a or b does not happen then 6th gets europa league and 7th europa conference.. if neither a nor b happens then 6th is europa conference and 7th is nothing.

I like our chances to get at least Europa Conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
