Newcastle are a mid-table team

Realistically, are we European candidates?
I ask because there’s enthusiasm in some quarters that maybe we might have a shot at Europe.
In my opinion our best match this season was away at Birmingham and yet when I was up in the Toon for the Spurs game it was just as if something didn’t quite click.
Clint wrote an excellent post on this a while back about being cautious in our ambitions
I think we’re a mid-table team this season and I will not get my hopes up beyond that.
I do think there’s potential there though. Assuming Ashley doesn’t sell everyone, I think we have the makings of a good squad.
There’s such a lot of speculation as to who will stay and who will go, but I think Tiote, Colo, Ben Arfa and Barton are the ‘core’ to build on. I’m not so sure about our front line but I don’t want you all to moan at me, so I’ll leave it at that.
Incidentally, as regular readers will know I’m an accident waiting to happen. I kid you not when I say I knocked myself out with a broken chair. Just kind of leant back and the next thing I knew I had a massive bump on my head. I expect sympathy in droves!
Apologies for my short posts today. Loads of work to do.
mid table is about right … not fighting relegation or being troubled by the european spot …
given the possible spending in the summer (the highlight possible) it will be next year which will be the interesting one !!
Nice photo by the way Hugh … not sure how it links to the story … but nice photo anyway … :)
