"I have no problem with the supporters dreaming of what we can achieve."
Eddie Howe may be allowing the Newcastle faithful to let their imaginations run wild, but the Magpies boss is remaining grounded for now.
Newcastle sit second and are the Premier League's form team after winning six games in a row for the first time in more than 10 years, following a comfortable 3-0 victory at Leicester City on Monday.
And they have every reason to be optimistic about what the second half of the season may hold.
The Magpies are fresher than their nearest rivals, with only five of their players on international duty at the World Cup.
