Newcastle United - This will cement our reputation and stature back as a proper and professional football club.
Following on from the excellent Newcastle United draw away at AC Milan, there are some positives to glean, despite the undertone of disappointment that emanated from some quarters after the game.
On hearing the game had ended I was ecstatic, honestly delighted. The first game back in the Champions League in 20 years and we’d gone toe to toe with a giant of the competition and drew, in their own backyard. Work flew by after that. So why the disappointment? Most lesser skilled teams do that away from home in the PREMIER LEAGUE, never mind Europe. We probably SHOULD have got beat but we DIDN’T. Point achieved.
Looking back through the last few seasons, you need three wins as a minimum to get through to the next stage. Or do you?The other teams could quite feasibly take points off each other and thus aiding our cause somewhat. A few draws between the other three and the odd win from ourselves could just sneak us through. Two wins? Seven points could be massive. Not necessarily good enough in previous years, but in a competitive group, who knows.
