So close yet so far away.
Yeah imagine a spurs team playing free flowing football with a bit of creativity.
Although I think Howe has had to build to reach this point. Lots of moaning about their time wasting this season too.
They've played a LOT of stinky dull games this season....... Using us & Everton as canon fodder seems to be disguising(*) that all of a sudden.
(*re: General fans & media; not yourself.)
Only if England is one of the top two in UEFA coefficient during next season. (Which they have been in most, but not all, of recent seasons)
I believe that spot would go away if an English club is the Europa League winner too. Pretty sure there's an absolute cap of 5 for any one league.
Possibly. Depends on how teams in Europe perform. But I think England would get that extra place 7/10 based on the last decade.
Alan Shearer column: A happy club again - but things about to get even better for Newcastle
Last updated on 30 April 2023I've been reluctant to say this up until now, but Newcastle are nearly there.
A top-four Premier League finish is in sight, and I am feeling confident they will do it, and get across the line.
It's not done yet, but they are not far away from achieving something that I don't think anyone thought would happen before a ball was kicked at the start of this campaign, myself included.
Back then, I was hoping for an improvement on last season's 11th-place finish, but seventh, eighth, or ninth place was my target.
I thought the top six would be too much to ask and if you had told me the Toon would be third at the start of May, I honestly would have not believed you.
The fact that they are where they are with five games to go, and I am looking at the table to work out what they need now to secure Champions League football for next season, tells you what a superb job the manager Eddie Howe has done, and what a magnificent season this has been.

The one thing we didnt need was these wankers getting CL in the first season. under there new owners. Can offer big fees, wages and CL football in the summer.
Isn't the following a year a brand new CL format too?
Where its just one big group instead of right groups of four?
That'll be fun.
Saw some twat in a Newcastle shirt today. The cunt must have spent hours dusting it off.
USELESS FUCKING CUNTS!!!!
Call yourself the 3rd best team???

All part of the shithousery, isn't it? Time waste then complain about others' time wasting.
We played ok against Woolwich, just one of those games where fine margins count. Created a number of good opportunities but the woodwork, Ramsdale, or our poor finishing, cost us.
2nd is out of the question, but Champions League is still very much in our hands.

The one problem is...they're Newcastle.

(Yes I'm clutching at straws but fuck 'em).

I remember Man City taking longer to get that that point (with us getting in the way initially, too). Unfortunately this has very much been a 'shit the bed' year for some of the usual contenders - us, Liverpool, Chelsea - meaning their cash pumping operation couldn't have been better timed.
It really is a jump-start that the rest of the league could have done without them being afforded.
Am I right in thinking they'll be in Pot 4 for next seasons Champions League?
Like to see them do well in that with Dan Burn at LB.
