We have a chance at 5th, but am now expecting us to finish at wort 7th, ahead of Spurs. We have this in our own hands given how many of us have to play each other, and we play 2 of these at home. Just want Brighton to win today and make the FA Cup final, which hopefully will make the last game of the season an easier one for us (couple of heavy early challenges will do it, I reckon ) Yes that's a good point- come on you seagulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton will definitely finish Top 7 and Liverpool have a very easy fixture list, but Spurs have as hard a fixture list as us and are on a steep decline. If we win against Fulham and they lose against United, it's on. This drubbing is excellent. Keep it up, Newcastle. Somehow I think you're spot on.

Popular Post Farlz Posted April 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2023 We really need to beat Fulham on Tuesday now. Huge game. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I'd ae preferred a draw based on our result yesterday. Spurs getting walloped was the next best result though. Fulham is a must win to keep Europe alive imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I watched Fulham's game yday and whilst they certainly aren't bad, they are missing something without Mitro. Willian looks a proper threat though and someone we will need to nullify, i think pereira is the type of tricky forward who can cause us problems too. Its a great opportunity to play them imo and they will want to come out to us. Think its an ideal game to play atm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I hope people realise just how good we are now under Don Unai. Our win over the barcodes is not to be sniffed at. We will qualify for CL in the next few seasons. As long as Don Unai is still here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 What would be the most ideal scenario for us with the Pool v Spurs match? Assuming we beat Fulham, do we then want Spurs to win to keep Pool 4 points behind, giving us more breathing room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d think another 6-1 Tottenham loss. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 3 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: We're in a four team race with Spurs, Liverpool and Brighton - I reckon once all the fixtures play out and we even out the games played, we're probably bottom of that group at the moment but in good form - Spurs are the team that I think we should be picking at - Liverpool seem to be okay and will be refereed to a Europa League place if nothing else and Brighton are very annoying, but Spurs are I think the team that could implode. A big Newcastle win today please. Spurs will barely do anything now, think they'll do well to even reach 58 points. Brentford will turn them over if they play with the same intensity as they did v us. However that's a little bit of a problem given they've got Livepool away this time last week. At least West Ham are bang in form now and scoring plenty of goals so I'd be really disappointed if they just fold v Liverpool midweek, I'm expecting at least a draw from that if not West Ham beating Liverpool.

Yeah but if Liverpool get 5th as likely and Brighton win the fa cup (I know against City but you never know) then if we get 6th we don’t get Europa League we get Conference…is that correct?

Yes, I’m fine with conference. Better than finishing 8th. 2 minutes ago, ender4 said: But if Brighton win the FA cup, then 7th doesn’t get us into Europe (unless Brighton finish 5th or 6th).
