Match Day Thread Toon General Matchday Thread

Final paragraph I agree with, the rest is too black and white. We played well in those games and held our own, simple as. If we can do that in the Champions League and finish 7th/6th this season, then we're easily capable of competing in the Europa League/Conference next season.

 

Conference is just a renamed Intertoto but I’m sure we’d all be happy to win it for now as a stepping stone.

 

Black and white as in a fact compared to mental gymnastics.

 

What's mental gymnastics about what I said?

 

We'd all be absolutely loving it and it's definitely the most realistic and easiest one to get. I hope we land in it next season. We'd automatically have a very very good chance which isn't the same if we land europa..europa has many clubs above and on our level.. it would still be very unlikely and much more difficult to win.

 

Everything you've said to avoid the fact you described as too black and white.

 

Lol, this is going in circles.

We finished bottom but we gave a good account of ourselves, especially against PSG. If we can give a good account in the CL, we can clearly do better in Europa, with obviously a much better chance of progressing/winning.

 

That's the fact followed by mental gymnastics yes. Nobody has said we can't compete in the europa, but there's some snobbery towards winning the other major trophy which is Newcastles best chance.

It's not like we're Man United... we've won **** all for 3 generations of ball juice.

 

I've never said we're anywhere near winning the Champions League, City **** on us from every angle, but even they're gone out now, likewise Arsenal.

I never thought beating PSG meant we would significantly progress....for me that's more snobbery on PSG's front, they didn't give a **** against us and thought they could waltz past a "smaller" side, and in the end in was just that stupid penalty that meant we didn't progress, and PSG weren't totally out of Europe.

 

I never said you did.

 

Not sure what we're talking about then lol. Have a good day.

 

I know you aren't mate lol

 

There's talk of a significant number of clubs boycotting next seasons FA Cup.

 

Why on earth would you rather finish 8th than 6th.

 

Because I want Newcastle to win something called a trophy and then go from there.

 

So you are hoping we lose these remaining games then, that's very strange.

 

Really? How come?

 

The EFL clubs are in open revolt against the FA.

 

I think we should boycott as well

 

Good - it's a ****ing disgrace. If EPL clubs can't beat lower league opposition and don't want a replay they should just let the lower league club through...
