David Moyes: "I feel Kevin said what he did this week to dampen down expectation at Newcastle. A lot of what he said is spot on.
"But I will never accept that it cannot be done again, because we have done it.
"We came very close (to the top four) this season before falling away. I need to find out how I can keep our challenge going a bit longer - it is probably needing a few more players and better quality.
"I need to make sure we get that. We have the foundations, we have built a good model without spending fortunes.
"There are a lot of clubs who would like to be in the situation we are in. But I want to be in the position that the four teams above us are in.
"We know we can make it, we can do it. We must now make sure we finish fifth, we want to be back in Europe because that is key to our progress.
"It's an exciting league because on the last day there are teams still fighting for the title and others still fighting to avoid relegation, while others are battling to get into Europe.
"That is why it an exciting league, it is why players want to come and play in England and it is why fans want to watch the games."
