What a load of ****. Every single player has stated that survival is the main objective - including both managers. Then 'Jose' comes out with this:
Not only is it very contradictory, but it would have also been a stupidly unrealistic target at the start of the season and would have made us seem more deluded than ever before.
Then he says 'Newcastle aren't performing well' immediately after our win against Birmingham and our 9th spot in the table? More bullshit.
"Our goal at the start of the season was to qualify for the Europa League but the reality now is different."

Imo The Sun have made this up to fill page space and I think it's utter bollocks. No way would we be trying for the Europa League from the start of the season and most of it just sounds fabricated or at least blown out of all proportion. And to say that the team are not performing well is again utter tripe, we just beat Birmingham away 2-0.
