1 point from Europe, 6 games to go

Not wanting to be negative nelly but Europe could ruin us next season as we don't have the strongest squad depth. Obvs want us to get massive but let's walk before we run

The thing is when fit we have a squad of about 15/16 anyway that people are happy to see play. I think we’ll buy at least 5 players this summer regardless so that’s 21 players. Surely that’s a big enough squad for 2 games a week?
 

I think we got 57/58 points in our two 7th placed finish seasons, we would probably need 3/4 wins and draws to get that. Fantastic effort this season though, I guess it just goes to show how good the 99/2000 side was

We were, first used by Bede in the 7th century, 400 years before newcastle was founded. Geordie is an old Greek word referring to people who tilled the earth (miners). Bede wrote in Greek about the "geordies" of the Parishes of Wearmouth and Jarrow who dug for coal.

He just spelt gadgies wrong.

I think with the players coming back from injury we could get anything between 4 and 8 points so maximum of 54 point s and minimum of 50.

Aston Villa - 1 point would be fantastic
Nottingham Forrest - night game at the SOL so 3 points
Wolves away - 3 points (hopefully they will be relegated by then so it may be a risky game
Manure - 1 point
Everton - 0 points - just going off historically what we get there.
Chelsea - 3 points - hopefully they will have asked another manager by then and will have nothing to play for either

Not sure either way it will be enough.

But a fantastic Season nevertheless

We'll beat Man Utd for a change. I think we did last time we played them at home at 3pm. Unless I'm forgetting about another game at the SOL?

Not if it's AFC Tirana, on a Thursday in December.

I’d absolutely be there, my worry is there’ll be loads who’ve forgotten where we’ve come from who won’t think it’s glamorous enough for them

Hope we have this debate to have come the end of the season

I’d love to travel to Europe one day to see us. I’ll be going without a ticket if I can’t get one and just hoping to blag summit

Haway the lads 🔴⚪️

That will help, however the squad has to be good, not just making up numbers. Our bench was not good in December and January, the players didn't get a rest.

I think today is the first time this season we've won a PL game straight after a European Thursday night

Did that Uche lad end up being a bit shit? When he came on against us early season I thought he looked dangerous
