when did Newcastle play Thursday in EL and then On a Saturday

Like I said everything I said was entirely accurate

This is what Alan told the Sunday Sun from Vienna today:

“The first week could not be worse for us really.” “The activities in London and the Notting Hill Carnival means the game can’t be moved.” “There’s nothing we can do about that.”

“It’s our first European game and then two days later at Stamford Bridge for a tough game.” “I can’t see me playing the same team in both games. Physically it is almost impossible.”
 
As we’ve talked about before, the very first week of the season will be very tough for Newcastle, and we play a home game against Tottenham on Saturday 18th August, and then a first game of a two-legged tie to get Newcastle qualification into the Europa League group stages, and then on the following Saturday Newcastle are at Chelsea.

When was this. Sure the PL and EL fixture list will confirm.
 
Look mate I know it happened because we were in the competition for years.

Thats just one example.

On occasion we appealed to the other clubs to move the game, but they said no

It's what happened I'm not making it up.


Well please put me in my place by letting me know the dates. Then Welshie can have a **** over you and his life will be complete.

I will say nothing but good things about Newcastle and NUFC for a month if he backs it up with the dates of one.

their last euro campaign was in 2012/13

had a quick gander...they played Thursdays and sundays

only time they played Thursday/Saturday was the very first Europa qualifier which suggests it’s because the qualifier needed to be shoehorned into an already arranged calendar.

But it happened loads.

a quick understanding of when the Notting hill carnival is would show it was a qualifying game. Munse, silly munse.

Like I saidinnmy original comment

Sometimes you have to play Thursdays in Europe and Saturdays in the league

So I was right


Now go away and research the other years of which there's a few and you'll see more examples.
 
how could anyone be anything other than nice to Sir Les.

It was his birthday the other day. Love him.

We’ve been crap on the pitch for pretty much all his time in his current role so he cops abuse but the more ******ed segment of our fanbase don’t appreciate we’ve cut the wage bill about 75% in that time, developed players for a profit for the first time in years and managed to stand still.
