The Newcastle boss has constantly praised himself this season saying "we are having a tremendous season" ... but it means nothing unless we get something out of it.
The chances of silverware are over, but at least a European place is up for grabs.
Alan Pardew: "We are saying we are going to push for Europe now and let our fans know we are going to try to push for it.
"We are going to need four or five wins and if we don't beat Norwich, that's going to look difficult in nine games, because that means the task will be that much harder.
"But if we win, then can we win three or four of our next nine? I think we can, and that would put us in with a great chance of Europe, so it's a very important game.
"It's tough to get into Europe. You have got a team with the finance and quality of Liverpool who could run us down.
"We will have to hold our hands up if that happens, but we are going to give them a good fight for their money.
"We are definitely focusing on Europe now, make no mistake about that, we have got ourselves into that position.
"But Alex Ferguson will tell you the last 10 games are the most important ones and we are in them now, so we will see how we get on."
