    Would you be happy with…?

    Finishing 10th and winning the FA Cup this season?

    Personally, I think a trophy could really give the club a boost and therefore I’d be willing to finish below the European spots in the league, just for that.

    Also, I’m not too keen on the Conference League, although it has its benefits.

    Realistically, I think we’ll finish at 7th or 8th and no trophies this season.

    I have to say.

    I think I would take that.

    A trophy would send another signal to everyone.

    I'd like to think that once we get back to a full squad with just the normal day to day injuries, not the long term which we've been used to, then we could do a steady creep up the table.

    A decent top 6 plus and the FA Cup would be great.

    I watched the full game of the top two, Arse-anal v Liverpool, and on that showing neither are worthy of top. Every one is scoring against Citeh and Spuds are just Spuds. Those below are no better than us. They have just been luckier than us with injuries.

    Get back to a full squad and a normal run of fixtures without the congestion we had with a depleted squad and we will be a match for the best of them.

    Blimey, yes!!! Never seen us win a cup and, to be honest, can't get my head round how it must feel.

    I forgot that Zip. In my te-ens and early 20's it was just a run of the mill thing. So much so that the West Indians used to sing calypsos about the Toon, so I've seen us win a few and and a few close shaves.

    It's a lovely feeling.

    P.s. Why does it blank out te_ens

    Given the fact that FA cup gives you Europa League spot then even 17th will do just fine

    I would be bloody delirious to finish 17th and WIN the FA CUP !!!! That's all I care about for now, and after that, the next transfer window.
