"Absolute nonsense" - Howe hits nail on the head after 2-0 defeat to Man City
Eddie Howe has hit out at suggestions Newcastle's season is over after our FA Cup exit at Manchester City, calling those claims "absolute nonsense" with so much to play for in the Premier League.
It was a tough watch last night, as we were ultimately outclassed by a City side that didn't need to get out of second gear, but I can't understand claims on social media that our campaign is now a write off when we're just three points from 7th; which could secure Europa League or Europa Conference League football dependant on the UEFA coefficients.
"There is a huge amount to play for. If people say our season is over, that’s absolute nonsense as far as I’m concerned." Howe said.
"We’re driving forward to try and get our best form back first and foremost. and try and win as many games as we can. We want to finish the season in a positive way because we’ll take that feeling into next year as well.
