With Manchester United playing well and beating Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley yesterday in the FA Cup Final it ended Newcastle’s last chance of a place in the Europa League Conference – so no European competition next season for Newcastle.
It’s like going back two years ago before Eddie Howe had his first full season at Newcastle and we made the Carabao Cup Final only to lose 2-0 to Manchester United.
It doesn’t look like the win yesterday will save Erik ten Hag’s career at the Red Devils, and he is still expected to be replaced.
It was hard luck on us but with respect, the Red Devils deserved their win yesterday and had an excellent game plan which seemed to work almost to perfection.
Newcastle’s season was brutal with all the extra games and injuries we picked up and we have to think this season has to be one of consolidation and we must learn from last season’s endeavors.
We played 51 games last season and with a win ratio of 45.1%.
The season before last, we played 46 total games with a win ratio of 52.2% – so we expect around the same number of games this season.
We will have less games this season but our season goals surely have to be to win a local Cup win and to again finish in the top four as we did the season before last.

Comment #1128Whatâs the point of rules when you know what teams can just bend them to suit. Totally lost faith in the system now:
â Man Utd and Man City are set to be given the go-ahead by Uefa to compete in the same European competitions as their sister clubs in the coming season, per multiple press reportsâ

Comment #1129The dear Chronicle reckons that after Tosin decided to stay in London that we should pry Trevoh Chabolah away from Chelsea.
Rather seems to ignore that he’s probably rooted there for the same reasons that Tosin wanted to stay. It’s more about the culture of many young players being preoccupied with being in London and having limited horizons.
Europe maybe a more productive area for us to recruit from.

Well Jim said that they would fix it for him.
Clearly the UEFA rule book was accidentally lost and a new one written to satisfy their sponsors.

Comment #1132Kieran Maquire saw it diffenenyly.
Man United could be forced to drop out of the Europa League and instead compete in the Uefa Conference League because of Sir Jim Ratcliffeâs ownership.
That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that Chelsea would instead take Unitedâs position in the Europa League.

Comment #1135Personally wouldn’t want us to sign Chalobah.
Don’t really see any good qualities in his game whenever i’ve seen him play.
Also pretty slow so doesn’t really address one of the key weaknesses in our defence.

Comment #1144I seem to have rattled Coming Home’s cage
By jibing at Fenham on the previous page….
CH,
We haven’t often seen eye to eyeÂ
But I think you’re an alright sort of guy
Well, at least you were before you became
A fanboy of Fenner’s, which is a bit of a shame
Â
How could a man of honour and a man of grog
Be reduced to the role of a Fenner’s lap dog
Barking and snapping at anyone who’d dare
Take the piss oot the fat lad without any hair
I remember the days when you had your own mindÂ
But now you’re just following your master blind
Howay man fella, you’re better than that
He’s making you look like a right micey twat!

Comment #1145Carltoon,
I felt I needed to respond to your post last night…
I’m truly sorry to read that I’ve caused you some upset.
You asked, “Who cares?” but believe it or not, I do.
I believe we cleared up the ‘Little Davey’ misunderstanding at the time, when I offered a full explanation and heartfelt apology.
Unfortunately, I had no idea that I’d apparently said something else to distress you.
As I usually just take the P out of some of the craziness that goes on here, you’ve never been involved in any of that, and I’ve no recollection of saying anything else about you.
All I can say is, whatever it was, it would never have been malicious and was more likely just that my ‘humour’ didn’t transcend well. (Again!)
But once again, I apologise profusely for any distress you’ve suffered due to my nonsense.
Love and Peace

Comment #1148For what it’s worth, I actually think any center half we do sign in the summer, will likely be a young(ish) central defender, who will rotate but usually be on the bench with Schar and Botman (when he returns from injury) being the starting central defenders.
I know Schar isn’t getting any younger, but he played 36 games in the league this season. So it’s not as if he’s not able to cope with the intensity. Plus he’s crucial in how we play out from the back with his confidence on the ball, willingness to drive forward when there’s space and his fantastic range of passing.
I don’t think he gets replaced next season in the starting 11, just will rotate more with whatever defender that comes in. That’s excluding Kelly who I think will be the same. Take Botmans place to begin with, then rotate when Botman comes back from injury until Botman regains his place.

Comment #1149Munster has not been on today.
Looks like folk are trying to predict what he will say and having a go at him before he says it.
In truth I think they would miss him.

Comment #1151Earlier comment should read 19 Prem games and max 4 League Cup games before the turn of the year.

Comment #1155Dan Ashworth has been subbed as he’s not available. wonder why ?
Answers by email please to: amanda@nufc.com
The sheer arrogance of this lot – trying to do a BOGOFF type deal for 3 players from one club. Why would anyone join a ruderless club with no secure manager inplace.
Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has met with Crystal Palaceâs sporting director Dougie Freedman in London to explore their position on the possibility of selling England defender Marc Guehi, 23, England midfielder Eberechi Eze, 25, and France Under-21 winger Michael Olise, 22, this summer.

Comment #1160captainmarvel,
I would suggest you bring enough Euro’s to Madeira and use your card wherever possible, the rates at the ATM machines, and I’m talking the official banks, not just Euronet ATM are extortionate, try and avoid using one if you can.
