The Toon have enjoyed a fantastic season under Nolan to say the least. If you can keep the wins coming, you could end up with Europa League football for next season. Fingers crossed!

Newcastle's top-half position in doubt after winless March

Manchester City are only the second side to defeat Newcastle at St. James' Park all season, but their win sees the Magpies drop below Bournemouth, Southampton and Watford in the league table.

A real heart-breaker of a month there, hopefully the team will bounce back and recover before the end of the season. I may have cursed you with my previous comment.

Nolan determined to secure top 10 position

Newcastle return to 9th spot with two games remaining, Watford and Leicester close behind.

Newcastle "in a very strong position" says Nolan
"We are playing with confidence. We are in a very strong position considering some of the challenges we have faced and we are determined to secure a place in the top half," Nolan continued. "We are already making plans for next season, but not without keeping a real focus on our last two matches."
Newcastle will play Leicester at the King Power Stadium next weekend, before facing Manchester United at home in the final fixture of the season.

Newcastle finish season in bizarre final day

Newcastle defeat first-placed Manchester United on the final day to open the door for Manchester City, who fail to capitalize.

Newcastle finish 9th in title-race shutdown
Newcastle went in to the game only a point ahead of 10th placed Watford, who failed to win, meaning Newcastle finished the season in 9th, their highest league finish since their remarkable 5th place finish in the 2011/12 season under Alan Pardew.
Fans and pundits have commended Kevin Nolan's performance this season as Newcastle manager. Despite failing to obtain any awards, it is generally accepted that he over-performed, as a top-half finish was not initially expected for the club.

Fantastic way to close the season and a great league position to match, considering Newcastle have only just returned to the top flight. I'll be interested to see what the business over the course of the Summer looks like.

Hey man great read, where did you get the fake twitter posts from? They're ace
Excellent season and story so far, loving the updates!
Doing really well to be in the hunt for Europe mate, Newcastle is always one of those team you wanna manage and bring success to a team that has all the infrastructure and capability to fight for a top club billing in fm but just hasn't done it in real life so good luck.
