Toon Target Should Be Five Wins!

18 April 2012 11:04
Tim Krul has challenged Newcastle to prove they a worth a return to the Champions League - by beating Stoke and Wigan.

But, with five games left, they are ALL important.

Alan Pardew stunned us when he said last month: "I'd like at least one win in the next three games (West Brom, Liverpool and Swansea) as they are the most important of the season."

He got three wins out of three.

The most "important game of the season" is always the NEXT one.

Tim Krul: "What an opportunity we have got. Things are going great at the moment.

"I have been saying for years that I think Newcastle are a top-six side and maybe people didn't see it. But now we are there, and hopefully we can stay there.

"Liverpool's win was great news for us and it is huge for the club to be back in Europe.

"We are up there, but if you don't win against Stoke and Wigan, you don't deserve to be up there. We will look at the next two games and hope that we get the results that we need.

"Our attitude is that if we can't beat Stoke, we don't deserve to get into the Champions League.

"We just need to keep the pressure on the top teams. Stoke at home and Wigan away are massive games for us."
