He seemed to be saying that just because you finish top 4 doesn't mean there should be expectations that you then should finish even higher the next season when in reality it's way more of a challenge. No European football last season definitely helped us finish top 4, and similarly for Spurs it's helped them be right up there this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I mean, it's inconsequential to NUFC fans, so I don't know why we'd be offended by what he said. It's less a dig at the club and more just a pre-emptive excuse for his own. Unless there's more context in the interview I wouldn't be impressed as a Spurs fan. Extremely reductive take and gives me Pardstastic 'we're better off without Europe' flashbacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 In all seriousness Skeletor, there have been months and months on here of people talking about how the style of play and number, intensity and frequency of games took its toll. Then when you started getting injuries it became a bit of a spiral, putting added pressure on a depleted squad and meaning players might get “rushed” back a bit. I think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick. Earlier this week he said “Eddie” had had horrible luck with injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me comes across as "Don't be like little Newcastle qualifying for a competition that you don't belong in." He definitely chose his words very poorly.

I genuinely think you’re being a bit weird here. It has been a really challenging season for you, and he’s already said you’ve had to deal with a ton of injuries. Before he even got to us he was having to defend his record of achievements with “small” sides in “small” leagues. He’s the last guy to be saying you’re “little Newcastle”. I think there’s definitely an argument to be made that he’s downplaying the CL in case we don’t get it this year (I think it’s wrong, but it can be made). I don’t think he’s taking the piss out of you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
