Eddie Howe has just announced the Newcastle team for the game at Brentford this afternoon that will bring the 2023-2024 Premier League season to a close.
Here’s where Newcastle stand at the moment in the league – in 7th position.
Premier League Table 2023-2024
Position | Team | Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | GD | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
5 | Tottenham | 38 | 20 | 12 | 6 | 13 | 66 |
6 | Chelsea | 38 | 18 | 11 | 9 | 14 | 63 |
7 | Newcastle | 38 | 18 | 14 | 6 | 23 | 60 |
8 | Man United | 38 | 18 | 14 | 6 | -1 | 60 |
9 | West Ham | 38 | 14 | 13 | 10 | -14 | 52 |
A win for Newcastle and a defeat for Chelsea will see us in 6th place.
A draw (or win) and a defeat for Manchester United at Brighton will see us remain in 7th place.
A defeat and a Manchester United draw or win will see us drop to 8th position.
HOWAY NEWCASTLE! ?#BRENEW // #NUFC pic.twitter.com/LhJtlSf5ap

Probs wanting improved 2 year deals.

Comment #8I’ll be keeping a close eye on the battle between Lewis Hall and Brian Mbuemo. I’m still not convinced about Hall. So today should be a good test. I just cannot see Hall controlling him but hopefully I’ll be wrong?

Comment #26Commentators berating Andy Gray for picking Isak in his team of the season. His excuse:
“Done well in an average in and out of form team.”
That ruins it a bit.
Cruel, but is he right?

How do you know it’s too late, did you have a chat with our goalie and he told how he should of definitely started two weeks ago. Always foo#in moaning about something.

Comment #34Sorry…..
In my opinion or I think Pope has been played too late.
A gentle reminder to bloggers that all opinions must be prefaced by I think or in my opinion.
That’s a pen must be prefaced with I think that’s a pen

Comment #35“Nobody is perfect apart from me Mam, wife and kid.”
Haha ya fat kunt, if your mam was perfect she wouldn’t have given birth to a zionist pig like you.
If your wife was perfect she wouldnt marry a war criminal animal molester like you.
If the kid is perfect then the kid isnt yours and your wife has clearly been banging the window cleaner, post man or milk man 😀

Comment #38Gordon is a big miss no doubt.. as he drives and is the creative force in our team. Barnes is more of the finisher.. but he relied on a Maddison at Leicester. Without a #10, he sometimes feels. a little out of game.
Need a big performance from Bruno today to set chances up for Barnes and Isak. Come on you Mags!
