Will we qualify for the CL?

[PaulWinch again]

I thought Newcastle were rubbish yesterday- particularly second half - and pretty lucky.

I hope we approach the game against Man Utd as a match against a side that’s won just 4 of their last 20 league matches (with 3 of those wins coming against the bottom 3) rather than treating it as a game against ‘Manchester United’ which somehow demands some default reverence.

So exactly the same as "Newcastle don't beat Arsenal and Everton" but with a different negative. Ok.

Written more clearly so as to avoid the confusion evident in the last two pages. OK.

Beat scummy spurs and if City win the FA Cup then we are guaranteed Europa League. Before this season I would have bitten your hand off for that but after this season it would seem like a disappointment.

How far we have come if that's the case. I wouldn't mind it if I knew we could keep all our best players for next season because if we can then we can be right in the mix not just for CL places but to actually win the league.

I don't think Liverpool are that much better and they are getting on now whereas our best players are coming into their prime and we are already on a level with those around us.

I don't want Sunday after Sunday of football. I've got an U11 team to manage and 2pm KOs would make it too difficult to make.

Only confusion seems to have been from you not noticing the word AND and substituting OR.  It might be because the first scenario should have been OR as we only need Chelsea to drop point in one match, not both if we win both our matches.

Also isn't it "neither/nor" and not "neither/and"?

[cdbearsfan]

I put neither/nor. And others were confused. It was badly written.

Agree, it’s a real pain if you try to use the trains on a Sunday.

The truly elite managers learn to deal with the vagaries of the fixtures schedule.

If you go solely by the form table, we couldn't have 2 better opponents for our last 2 games - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/formtabelle/wettbewerb/GB1.

If they play like that against Everton, I wouldn't be totally surprised if Everton acted as spoilers and got something.

Maybe but Drummond has been demanding in his own way for many years now. What more can he do?

[itmustbe_it is!]

I'm still confused tbh. Newcastle need to beat either Arse or Everton to guarantee we can't catch them, barring some bizarre goal difference swing.They don't need to beat both of them. But two draws we would be above them if we win out. That's right isnt it ?

Chelsea just need to drop points against either Man U or Forest , and if we win out we are ahead of them too.

Man City need 4 points to stay above us if we win out.

Forest don't matter so long as we take care of our own business.

IF I've got all that in my head right , then I fancy us. Phew !

Yep, they do.

My own way isn't very demanding at all. Silent but deadly approach from me.
