The Race for Champions League Places

I dont think they do.

Well you have no concept of the word chance so I'll move on.

I simply disagree with you mate, that's all. It's a discussion forum, so differences of opinion will happen.

I know... It's just me taking the word chance as literal because well, they do long day, Wengers I didn't see it should sort me out.

And for what its worth, I don't think they'll finish 4th either..

When push comes to shove, someone will find the consistency and it wont be NUFC.

You shouldn't write them off. They're 3 points ahead us with 13 games to play. They have no european or domestic cup distractions, so every match for them becomes a cup final.

I'm not saying they will do it, but it would be naive to write them off.

p.s. I still think we will nick 4th.

[Craig_H]

Ah, so you also dont think Newcastle will get 4th place then.

[DannyMan2006]

Well, what chance of 4th after today?

Had Chelsea won i'd have wrote us off completely, but still think we have a chance as it is. Big chance missed today, but there's still daylight at the end of the tunnel.

I'd like to think we could still do it but I can't see it to be honest, today was our chance. Now we're 10 points behind with a game in hand. I think we need over 30 points from a possible 36. Given we haven't won 3 back to back league games all season I don't think we have a chance of that. At the moment we're averaging 1.5 points per game, to get 30 from 12 game equates to 2.5 points per game (which is higher than Man City are averaging)

No chance, 10 points off. Season over.

It's gone....

[Muddled]

Well, the season isn't *really* over - we've got the FA Cup to play for and if that can make me feel like I felt last Sunday, I'm all for seeing this season out.

[Muddled]

But yeah, with regards to fourth, it's not looking very likely.

We need to continue to work on a few things and hopefully iron out any creases in our transition from back to front, but this was always a year that Kenny needed to stamp his authority on the team.

[el matador]

we are not going to qualify for the champions league.

[red g]

almost impossible for 4th now.

To finish 6th is shocking really talking into account how piss poor those around uus are.

We might not even get 6th, but yeah, we have thrown away a fantastic opportunity.

[Imy]

I believe it's gone, too bigger gap and we need three teams to cock up.

As i said in the post match, as we're already in Europe next season i'd like to see Coates, Robinson, Shelvey, and Sterling given first team opportunities.

Might as well expose them now and let them get their mistakes out of the way so they can hopefully be ready for next season.
