Yuk.
The smugness is going to be revolting and Shearer unbearable.

Was just pointing out it was slightly odd for some to be hoping for a result that wasn’t good for us…Of course it’s not impossible but hello the Geordies just showed what a good team they are. And as an above post argues, bit pointless obsessing about it when it’s all in our own hands with 2 qualifying routes
Wouldn’t 9th qualify under the following circumstances:
1 [UCL] Liverpool
2 [UCL] Arsenal - UCL winners
3 [UCL] Forest
4 [UCL] City - FA Cup winners
5 [UCL] Newcastle - League Cup winners
6 [UCL] Chelsea
7 [UEL] Brighton
8 [UEL] Villa
9 [UECL] Bournemouth
Plus a 10th team in Europe - though not the team in 10th - if Utd or Spurs win the Europa League.
I think 9th is impossible to get Europe. We could get 9 teams in Europe if spurs or Man U win the Europa but don’t think 9th place can win Europe in any way. @Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo is usually on top of these things. I make it Newcastle finish top 8 now for Europe to go to 8th as it stands. But depends on FA cup winners too.

But that’s still the top nine qualifying for Europe, right?No because in that scenario Chelsea and Brighton would get Europa League and Villa Conference League. The only way 6th can get the Champions League spot is if whoever finishes in 5th place wins the Champions League. So swap Arsenal and Newcastle and it would work. Or Villa win the Champions League and finish 8th, in which case Chelsea and Brighton would still get Europa League, Villa would get Champions League and Bournemouth would get Conference League.
Boat has sailed on that you’d think but I’d love to know about the Mac adds on and where we are on that. Galling to still see Pool fans cackle about the 35 million stealThe only upside for us would be finding out the Dan Burn sale includes significant add ons for a domestic trophy and potentially a England cap
The scope for boasting must surely be limited given it's the Carabao which is hardly the Champions League.For those of us living in the North East, this is a nightmare. Newcastle fans were insufferable before this, with their chip on shoulder about being 'entitled' to win a trophy because they're a massive club and it's been ages etc. They're going to be even worse now. Awful, awful, awful.

Two things now though, watch all the plastic Geordies come out the woodwork and Shearer is going to be f***ing unbearable as a pundit from now on.
What you might not be aware of - and it's entirely understandable as the media missed this for some reason - is that Newcastle have not won a trophy since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.The scope for boasting must surely be limited given it's the Carabao which is hardly the Champions League.
And for those of us living in the south we’ve luckily avoided a similar fate with Trevor and Dave in Accounts celebrating yet another massive trophy for “their club”.For those of us living in the North East, this is a nightmare.

We all know it's a 'lesser' Cup, but by Christ, imagine the crowing if we had won it.
Someone probably should have mentioned it on commentary.What you might not be aware of - and it's entirely understandable as the media missed this for some reason - is that Newcastle have not won a trophy since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
As such for the people of Newcastle, this is a highly significant event.
