Imagine not having a manager who is going to belittle the club at every turn. Incredible.

The Spanish City Shouters. I like it!

The few Sunderland fans I know are trying their best to act like this isn't anything other than a total nightmare for them. It's hilarious and I am milking every second!

Been out of the loop for so long. Is there any way to watch this without BT and not going to the pub?

I am so excited for the future with Howe. The more I see of him the more impressed I am. Going to be like night and day from Bruce.

This confirmed yet or what?

? Aye see what you mean. It was just the gist of it I was trying to get across! Someone come up with the words properly please ?

Someone mentioned How Bizzare by OMC. Can imagine our away fans singing an Eddie Howe song to this tune. Would be mint. "Du du du, du du du Eddie Howe, Eddie Howe! Ohhhhh baby....."

Great post, come on everybody let's all jump aboard the Hooooooowe train!

I just look at those clips of him and how switched on and motivated he looks and sounds and really can you even imagine Bruce talking like that? He surely has to be able to get an extra 20-30% at a minimum from these players right from the off.

Call me crazy but I have a sneaky suspicion that we might just piss survival with this man in charge.

The blokes got my full backing. 100%. Can finally fully enjoy the matches again and really that's all I want.

You have to love the mackems and their obsession with local boundaries and things that are not in Newcastle. So Whitley Bay is not Newcastle territory now is it not? It's probably just under 10 mile from SJP . Of course it's black & white, I grew up there I should know! The angel of the north? What 4 miles as the crow flies from the city centre nope! That's not Newcastle! ? I remember once they tried to say that Wallsend isn't part of Newcastle! But, I guess our fucked up local council set up has led to this scenario. Anywhere else, Tyneside is one city but not in the north east!

Class. No sign of it on MOTD though.

Any photos?

I agree, his eyes were yellow and he didn't look well at all. Get well soon. ?

Watching this on the telly I was enjoying the brilliant atmosphere and then just as Martin Tyler started talking they turned the crowd noise right down to almost nothing. Even though it was bouncing and they kept going on about it, it sounded dead on the telly.

Never have I been so happy and buzzing about picking the dog shite up and jet washing the back yard before the game. It is amazing what this club can do to you!

I want a statue of this man and I want him front and centre in an advisory roll at the club. He needs to be welcomed back with open arms for being the absolute hero that he is and nothing short of that will suffice.

I think so judging of their posts last night.

Of course i do. Born in Glasgow and brought up in Newcastle and is very much a Geordie. Can think of at least 5 of his songs which reference Newcastle the Tyne and surrounding areas like Whitley Bay, Cullercoats etc. Tunnel of Love, Sailing to Philadelphia, Why Aye Man and Southbound again which is about leaving Newcaslte by train. Down to the Waterline imagines the Quayside. There is a good YouTube clip of him and Brian Johnson back in Newcastle a couple of years ago.

Fuckin hell, catchment areas! feels like a discussion from 1998! ? But its not just Newcastle though is it? Gateshead and the rest of Tyneside is about 890k iirc. Tyne and Wear is about 1.2 million. Then add Northumberland and County Durham. Shared between 2 clubs.

70k at the very least? That's optimistic.

I've no idea when we first started using it to be honest.

Some Mark Knopfler Geordie magic that's what it is. I know it was written for a film set in Scotland but it just connects so well with NUFC and the local area. How anyone cannot get it is beyond me.
