The Barclaycard Premiership has been warned by Ameobi that Newcastle United are going to provide serious competition for the race for the title. Manchester United and Arsenal better watch their back, 'cos The Magpies are coming to get them!
Shola Ameobi is sure that Newcastle can overcome Arsenal and Man Utd and beat them to the title. Newcastle were in a perfect posisition last year, before being defeated 6-2 at home by Manchester, but this year, they will NOT make ANY mistakes!
Shola said; "At the end of the day, every team in the league wants to win the title and we're no exception. We wanted to win the title last season and that's where we want to be this season.
"That's what we're in this for and without exception, we want to win it.
"Getting third spot last season was massive for Newcastle United. We've now done that and it's exciting times for the club.
"We need to qualify, but if we do, we're in the Champions League proper once again. It was a wonderful experience last season and that's what we want every season.
"We have a very young squad. The manager has put a squad of good players together, and in seasons to come, we can challenge for the title. That's what we're aiming at, improving on last season."
