Alan Pardew: Europe a "realistic goal" for Newcastle United

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew says that his side have a good chance of sealing a place in next season's European competitions.

Alan Pardew has said that a place in Europe next season is a "realistic goal" for Newcastle United.

The Magpies currently sit eighth in the Premier League table ahead of their game against Manchester City tomorrow.

The manager told Sky Sports News: "For us, the most important part is to attack every game.

"We have the same points total as we did when we finished fifth after the same amount of games, so we have got to take that belief into the second half of the season and try to improve on it.

"If we can, then we have a chance of Europe, and that must be a realistic goal for us in the position we are in at the moment."

Depending on the winners of the domestic cup competitions, Newcastle will need at least a top seven-finish to clinch a spot in Europe.
