The Champions League

[toonozandy]

592 days and £250 million to take the second worst side in the league into the Champions league...with at least half the team who were second bottom.

Mind boggling. Eddie Howe is a genius,

Yes, EDDIE HOWE is now a Newcastle IMMORTAL

Was there a qualifier loss to some serbian side by penalty shoot-out or something like that next year?

Aye. A real sickener. This club has been a bloody nightmare…..until now!

From what I understand (and therefore could be very wrong) we qualify straight for the group stage due to coming from the Premier League. However, due to our own low/lack of UEFA coefficient we will get put in the lowest pot which could make for a very tasty draw. Will most likely be the group of death

Great hope we get all the big boys in our group and beat them all. Game on we want Real Madrid, Juve & Benfica to beat in the group stage.

Huge!

Yes that’s exactly how I understood it too.
A tough group coming but….





… WHO CARES???????

Outrageous achievement. Next season is going to be a slog so with many games but I cannot wait to neglect my partner and child and splash the cash on European away games again! Newcastle United in the Champions League just feels right.

Partizan Belgrade on pens. We beat them away 1-0 then lost 1-0 at SJP.

Fkn sickening that was.

Funny that I remember that, but dont remember that Newcastle went on to reach UEFA cup semifinal that year (defeated by Marseille 0:0 and 2:0 with Drogba brace) - had to look wiki for that

Aye, and the club tried to sign him too.
