Eddie Howe won't talk about the Champions League until Newcastle United are actually in it - and whether that will be this season remains to be seen.
The Toon boss did not follow the lead of his captain Kieran Trippier when asked whether he would allow himself to dream about the top four. Trippier had stated he did not want to "shy away" from talk of dining at Europe's top table next season.
Newcastle go into the last round of fixtures in March hoping to close the gap on Tottenham Hotspur who hold a four-point advantage over them in fourth. United take on Nottingham Forest on Friday night while Spurs face a trip to a doomed looking Southampton outfit.
