Newcastle Have the Momentum and Fan Base to Be a Champions League Contender

Five or six players are riding the crest of a wave at Newcastle. They're never going to hit form like that ever again. I look at Fabian Delft left back for the Centurion season. He's playing it left back and he's left to see what's happened to his career since. And if Newcastle want to be a serious kind of long-term replacement for Spurs, for Chelsea, if they were to fall out for a couple of seasons, Newcastle will have to be ruthless. What is the same with Eddie Howe? He's got to be smart. The higher the expectation becomes at Newcastle as a football club, the higher the level has to be.
