Newcastle look the real deal at the moment, getting up a head of steam at the wrong time. Hopefully this two week break and all what's gone on will give us a much needed spark, because we're sure going to need it.
My only hope at the moment is the games start to catch up with Man Utd and we must absolutely beat them at home, they have two opportunities because they're still in the Europa League. Everton, Brighton Bournemouth first and we need to get a bounce from somewhere because the trio after that will be one hell of a test. An minimum of 6 points from the next 3 is an absolute must, and even that might not be enough.

Exactly this. Forget Man Utd and Newcastle.
We need to find some rhythm and start winning matches ourselves.
That starts tomorrow with Everton.
Still can't believe how we let in 7 and took 1 point from Leicester and Southampton. They both looked terrible this weekend.

Yeah all a huge waste of time. Then we wonder why we can't build a winning mentalityAnd then we‘ll play weakened teams on a Thursday night because the be all and end all is get top 4 so that we have better chance of getting top 4 again so we have a better chance of getting top 4 again……..and on and on and on.
It will forever be like this under ENIC unfortunately

Newcastle are far better than us in every department apart from Harry.
Top 4 I think will be very very difficult for us, MU were shit, but they will go on a run I think, and get enough points to finish fourth.
Fifth for us most likely, at best.

Yes...but my eyes don't decieve me.
Energy, attitude, hunger, all way above our level.
I think we will struggle to keep up with them .
You not heard about Dr Tottenham then

That would be insane if we finished third off the back of this season. Half the fans would argue we didn’t deserve it!

It's all about us, we can still get 6th minimum and Europe
Then next season whatever competitions we are in, take them all seriously
I would honestly rather win the Conference or Lge Cup than get a CL qtr final.
Lets see us rediscover our DNA and start winning cups again

I wouldn't, I'd say we absolutely deserve it. But realistically I would take 6th now.

Come on man, that’s far too defeatist. Let’s at least go for it.

Before the game United needs to win because we are never catching them and now Newcastle are guaranteed a CL place all of a sudden.
Newcastle have 4 away games in the next 5 games (the home game being against us). In this away run they go to West Ham, Brentford, Villa and Everton.
Plenty of points will be dropped in this run IMO.

Been hearing it all season. But here we are.
How long we been above them in the table while they've had more energy, better attitude and bigger hunger?

Well they are above us at the moment with a game in hand,
Plus they seem to be hitting form and momentum.
We'll see.... hope I'm wrong ofc, but I don't think so , we have so many issues ATM.
