Interesting latest from Mr_Dolf, as he wonders about the NUFC dilemma that Eddie Howe now faces NUFC
This is mint, isn’t it? For anyone who doesn’t know, the Eddie Howe walloping of Southampton, coupled with Villa’s win over the lesser light of Manchester, means that Newcastle United are now assured of staying in a Champions League spot until after Christmas.
Let’s look back for a second, unpalatable though it is. Over the past 15 years spent largely fighting relegation there is a fear accompanying any defeat, that it might create an alarming fall near or below that dastardly line, that the threat of relegation might become unavoidable, as it occasionally and unforgivably did.
Now though, the threat of a failure breathes heavily down the neck. Slip up and the big guns around you will punish you, and you might need to check that league table through clenched hands. This is the fear that kicked in when we posted a magnificent win at Spurs, with former big Charlies come deserved relegation fodder Villa and Southampton up next. On paper this was six points but we all feared the old problem of NUFC just not turning up.
, while Man Utd once again come up against the resurgent Villa and Arsenal face a difficult tie with Brighton. With no upsets there will be a maximum of 12 Premier League sides in the next round and with a kind draw this might start looking like a very winnable trophy. The prospect of fudging it up by undercooking the Palace match is something that could be regretted in the long run.
