The Magical 40
6 games in and and 25% towards the first priority 40pts... Fabulous start.

Re: The Magical 40
Better than I'd hoped.
Re: The Magical 40
I'm looking up rather than down...
Re: The Magical 40
Safety first for me, then I'll start looking up....

First target to hit, after that everything will take care of itself. Essential we secure our stay and use it as a platform to keep building.Smudge3920 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 10:34 am 6 games in and and 25% towards the first priority 40pts... Fabulous start.
Hope we can keep this tally up for the next 6.
Re: The Magical 40
Me too Sara, can't put up with all the negative thoughts, haven't some of our fans noticed how well we are playing
Bielsa will have set his sights on Europe in his own mind because he is a winner & breeds success & I'm with him all the way
Apart from Klopp & Pep he is probably the best coach in the PL, can you imagine any of the other PL coaches taking a team from mid-table to 3rd in the premier league within two years playing the style of football we are watching week in week out under MB

Re: The Magical 40
It could be the magical 35 this season.
It’s 5 or 6 seasons since Newcastle went down with more than that.

Re: The Magical 40
We finished 4th last time we got promoted. Think we could do it again.

Re: The Magical 40
Anyone who thinks priority one is securing the points to avoid going down as quickly as possible...as a negative thought, really is not thinking strategically... Of course we all want the end game to be as high as possible... but there has to be a strategic plan to draw your tactical plan from, to achieve it...

I thought your strategy was 'might is right' and then roll over everything and everyone in the way.
Re: The Magical 40
As it happens, I agree with you..
it is positive to look towards getting the 40 points out of the way...
Then look upwards to the champions league places..

Re: The Magical 40
Yep, safety first. Just think how relaxed we’ll all be when we know we’re safe from going down.
There Is Only One United.
Re: The Magical 40
Tbh I doubt 40 will even be needed, but important to hit that milestone asap. If we carry on as now, 24 games in should hit 40 points.
Re: The Magical 40
Exactly. The most important thing from day one was to stay up and consolidate. Anything else would be a major bonus.Smudge3920 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:23 pm Anyone who thinks priority one is securing the points to avoid going down as quickly as possible...as a negative thought, really is not thinking strategically...
