IIRC Leicester won the league a season after narrowly escaping relegation.

Leicester won the league because Spurs were a bottle job and everyone else was in chaos. Yes it was a fairy tale but the season was an odd one due to how poor the vast majority of the big clubs were.
 
Just back from the match and TBH it could have been 4 or 5, we absolutely tore ManU apart and they weren’t up for it today. Still laughing at ten-hag whinging about time wasting yet the mancs we’re doing it from minute 1

I think if Newcastle finish top 4, it could be really dangerous for Howe because of expectations to progress from there, as they've gone from relegation fodder only 18 months ago.

It’s one of them things.

Our squad is horrible and if we do end up in Europe which is looking likely now be it Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday it will no doubt effect next season.

But it will loosen the rope of financial fair play.

Better income, sponsorships etc.

we’re very early into our journey but we’ve brought in amazing people into vital roles off the pitch.

Quite a few players will be leaving in the summer so that should free up the wage bill.

Newcastle have the second-worst record in the Premier League this season for ball in play

Premier League at lowest ratio for in-play action ever recorded this season at 55.9 per cent; stoppage-time at all-time high to mitigate VAR reviews; games involving Leeds and Newcastle have lowest proportion of active game-time

I am rattled because I have watched us all season and can see our form of the past month has been terrible and we are capable of so much more. We have been incredibly unlucky with injuries (and suspensions) to absolute key players.

The majority of our losses happening with Casemiro is case in point. Newcastle could not have faced us at home at a more perfect time for them really.

Pundits also seem to forget some of our players have played double the games as the Newcastle players. Our squad isn't strong enough to fight in 4 competitions.

You have spent a billion pound man, stop trying to suggest you have a paper thin squad

That doesn't really matter. The squad is well short of quality despite the hilarious transfer fees for some of the players.

It's no excuse though, we should be beating Newcastle or at least playing a lot better than we did today.

Billion pounds of players that do not exist anymore? We have been run terribly that is a fact but we don't have a current squad to show for 1 billion.

You will get to witness this as well now Newcastle have got bags of money. You get you arse ripped a new one on signings and if they fail it is egg on the face.
