so i’m a newcastle united fan and we were robbed in overly long extra time, where the referee only ended when psg equalised, crushing our hopes of knockout UCL but we are very likely to secure europa league football, thing is though, i’m not exactly keen on swapping out playing milan and dortmund for maccabi haifa and sheriff tiraspol, anyone relate or able to convince me to be motivated about europa league?
Newcastle were 100% robbed, that was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen and I’m an Arsenal fan
Cheating Newcastle
“i’m not exactly keen on swapping out playing milan and dortmund for maccabi haifa and sheriff tiraspol”
That’s like bitching about the FA Cup because Weymouth were in it (and got knocked out long before your team entered the competition).
You were robbed. But Psg were well worth the draw , jaysis.
xG was like 5 - 0.5 and the penalty was the 4th situation that could have been given…
Well if you beat Milan & PSG fail to beat Dortmund which are both very plausible scenarios you’ll make it into the UCL R16.
But hey if Europa was so easy Newcastle will win it right? Not like teams far greater like LFC or Leverkusen are there or anything…
I am a lifelong Newcastle fan.
You are an idiot.
Pope was the reason you got a point against Milan and then you played like shit home and away against Dortmund. Even if all the stars align and you end up in the round of 16 (which is still possible, but I doubt you know it), your park the bus team will get destroyed by teams like Real Madrid, Bayern or Inter. You’re just a small oil club that was lucky to play and win against another small oil club.
Also since you wanted motivation about the Europa League, not only the teams you mentioned play there, but also Leverkusen, Villareal, Betis, Liverpool, West Ham, Brighton, Roma etc. So there are plenty of good and exciting teams, you’re just too afraid that you’re gonna get destroyed.
Newcastle are Europa League quality. It’s where you belong.
Can’t relate to it at all. The years of being in the football doldrums and then finally qualifying for UCL and the first sign of failure and you react like this? What did you think Newcastle were going to do in their first year? Talk about entitled
May I ask, for how long are you a Newcastle fan?
EL might be NU’s way to make it to CL next season. Making top 4 isn’t gonna be easy with Spuds, Utd, Brighton, Villa breathing down your neck.
Gonna finish City liverpool Arsenal Villa imo
You might be right about the lengthy extra time but you were fortunate to get away with a draw given PSG had dominated possession and had more than 30 shots compared to your 7. I agree with you re Europa League. It’s kind of a nothing competition.
Only 5 on target…
Extra time was completely fine.
Imagine not being in Europe for 10 years and then not wanting to watching your club in Europe
This.
Absolute peak entitled, spoilt, oil money, sport washer behaviour.
Waaah we got beaten by another oil rich club, I don’t want us to play with the poor teams.
Especially when winning the Europa League could well be Newcastle’s best chance to get back into the Champions League next season. They are far from guaranteed another top 4 spot but realistically could beat pretty much anyone in the EL in knockout football.
Does winning the Europa League still guarantees you a spot for the CL with the new system?
That’s a good point, not sure if the new structure will change that or not. It would be stupid if not as for teams playing in the UEL and UECL the opportunity to qualify for the next tournament up is a bigger prize than the actual trophy or prize money awarded.
My dad calls it fast-tracked entitlement.
Exactly
PSG Dominated the game,they couldve scored 3-4 goals . Your hope is that PSG Draw or lose to Dortmund and Newcastle beat milan at home.
