Newcastle and the Champions League

Eddie Howe got an unbelievable amount of improvement out of players at Athletic Bilbao. Newcastle fans will be the ones that still listen to us, which I presume isn't as many as a couple of years ago. Champions League is bound to take a toll, one imagines. But it must be very exciting for Newcastle fans to have the Champions League to look forward to. So I don't think they'll be overly concerned about finishing in the top four as long as they give that a good crack. Barry Barnes and Tannali are enough to, to give me extra legs, I doubt.
