KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Newcastle real champion league contenders

A 3rd of the way through the season they are very sound on defense, getting excellent goal keeping and suprisingly are getting top flight play from Ba and Best. I think both Tott and LFC fans are of the opinion that they arent for real but they sure look it. Arsenal are on the come and while a long shot Fulham are starting to play very well under Jol. Its going to be very tough to get 4 I think, very tough.

No I don't think they will be contenders in the new year Aresnal and Spurs for sure. I hope us to but we need to up a gear. For me thats Carroll he needs to start contributing in fairness the last couple of games he has been a little better

Spurs look deadly, the arse will be contenders. I think it will come down to experience and luck with injury's. Too close to call really

toon are doing well, they are 3rd because they beat teams they shud and their defence is playing really well.

they got to play the big teams yet.

i can see toon finishing in the top 8.

if they kept jose, carroll, barton, and signed 2/3 quality players in thew summer, then they wud be CL challengers

I wouldn't write them off, but I don't think they have a strong enough squad to see out a full season without a huge amount of luck, but you never know. We need to up our finishing and we will be well up there among the top 4, so its going to be very exiting thats for sure.

Can't see Newcastle being up there come the last 3rd of the season. They're on great form, and they're actually on their longest ever unbeaten run in the Premiership. Can't see it lasting though, I think they'll come back down to earth with a bang fairly soon. Fair play to Pardew though, he's doing a great job.

I think Spurs look really strong, and Arsenal have recovered well - but I think their season will rely on whether they can keep RVP fit or not. Also, don't forget, Chelsea are only 1 point of us - they're by no means guaranteed a top 4 spot.

May be NUFC will take "Women Divided" Teams spot in CL footy.

Without Creative Midfielder "Women Divided" Team never gonna finish in Top4.It will be 5 way fight for 3 spots than 4 team fighting for 2 spots....

Also, I don't think chelsea's spot is as cemented as they think also

Ive a soft spot for newcastle,here is a little bit of trivia for anyone that wants aread.
