Does Ashley Want European Football?

Alan Pardew hinted last night that club owner Mike Ashley does not want Newcastle to play in Europe! Alan Pardew: "We have had many tough meetings at boardroom level talking about our European fixtures. "About players getting injured and the added fixtures. But I tell them, I play every game to win it." The Magpies saw their Europa League journey brought to an end at the last-eight stage by Benfica last night But the continental campaign has left Pardew with a taste for more, especially given the electrifying atmosphere inside Gallowgate as United, leading 1-0, pushed for a tie-winning goal in the second half. Alan Pardew: “I was proud to be manager of the football club – it was a terrific night, even in defeat. “I was proud of the football club and the way we conducted ourselves over both legs. “I said in the dressing-room afterwards that we have gained experience from this run. “We have been out of Europe for a while but we have put ourselves back on the stage in credible fashion – now we want more of it. “But the only way we’ll do that is by getting in Europe again next year and that will be our main aim. “We need to know that the next time we go into Europe we need to be better prepared than we were at the start of this season. “After all the injuries we’ve had and the incredible performance in Europe, I’ll take this season as a real learning curve for us. “The financial restrictions we have are greater than the top teams in this country. “But that does not mean we can not win something and we’ll try to achieve that. “We will try to over-achieve like we did last year. “It’s fair to say this year we haven’t, mainly because of the injuries we have sustained. “But the experience will stand us in good stead for the future.” Saturday 13 April 2013    15:00 Arsenal v Norwich  Emirates Stadium          15:00 Aston Villa v Fulham  Villa Park         15:00 Everton v QPR  Goodison Park         15:00 Reading v Liverpool  Madejski Stadium          15:00 Southampton v West Ham  St. Mary's Stadium        Sunday 14 April 2013    12:00 Newcastle v Sunderland  St James' Park        14:05 Stoke v Man Utd  Britannia Stadium     Tuesday 16 April 2013    19:45 Arsenal v Everton  Emirates Stadium      Wednesday 17 April 2013    19:45 Man City v Wigan  Etihad Stadium         19:45 West Ham v Man Utd  Boleyn Ground      Saturday 20 April 2013    15:00 Fulham v Arsenal  Craven Cottage          15:00 Norwich v Reading  Carrow Road         15:00 QPR v Stoke  Loftus Road Stadium         15:00 Sunderland v Everton  Stadium of Light         15:00 Swansea v Southampton  Liberty Stadium         15:00 West Brom v Newcastle  The Hawthorns         15:00 West Ham v Wigan  Boleyn Ground       Sunday 21 April 2013    13:30 Tottenham v Man City  White Hart Lane       16:00 Liverpool v Chelsea  Anfield      Monday 22 April 2013    20:00 Man Utd v Aston Villa  Old Trafford      Saturday 27 April 2013    12:45 Man City v West Ham  Etihad Stadium       15:00 Chelsea v Swansea  Stamford Bridge         15:00 Everton v Fulham  Goodison Park         15:00 Southampton v West Brom  St. Mary's Stadium          15:00 Stoke v Norwich  Britannia Stadium          15:00 Wigan v Tottenham  The DW Stadium          17:30 Newcastle v Liverpool  St James' Park     Sunday 28 April 2013    13:30 Reading v QPR  Madejski Stadium        16:00 Arsenal v Man Utd  Emirates Stadium     Monday 29 April 2013    20:00 Aston Villa v Sunderland  Villa Park     NEWCASTLE UNITED FC 2012/13   Newcastle United Fixtures  PREMIERSHIP  NEWCASTLE 1 FULHAM 0 (Cisse)Krul, Simpson (81' Campbell), Yanga-Mbiwa, S Taylor, Santon (17' Anita), Marveaux, Cabaye, Sissoko, Gutierrez, Cisse, Gouffran (69' Shola Ameobi).Subs: Elliot, Williamson, Bigirimana, Obertan MAN CITY 4 NEWCASTLE 0Elliot, Simpson, S Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa, Gutierrez, Anita, Cabaye (74' Bigirimana),  Obertan (45' Perch), Sissoko, Gouffran (63' Gosling), Cisse.
