Fantastic news. Keep proving everyone wrong AG

Can't say enough about how good this was: from the organisation (cheers Yorkie et al), to having my impressions of you all completely shattered and rewritten, to how welcoming and cool everyone was, to the surreal lovely mid-October weather. Newcastle was a paradise as usual (apart from the Brighton game aspect, but that's nothing new to me sadly). Very envious of everyone who's local.

Lockwood 24 formation:

Newcastle haven't not scored at home for a year and a half in the league, as best as I can see. One non-PL exception being the Dortmund home game which I attended. Good test of my streak this.

Why did it come to my lips so easily...

Goddammit.

Please can we not call ourselves the Whites.

Just come back from HT wearing a Rey Mysterio mask.

Can't believe I'm teammates with that Pardew-lover. Might go for a classic 3-2-2. Chris W Ian W. Nut JB Beren Acuna Shak Bandit

Yay. Let's sign Unai Emery, Jhon Duran and Cole Palmer.

Completely agree. It's THE big challenge for Howe's development.

Not the result we deserved but can't fault the performance and application overall. Night and day from our usual visits to Goodison. Obviously a lack of composure when in decent positions, and no one gambling into the box. Could probably have a 2 minute montage of cutbacks to no one in particular.

Will this be the first time this season we score three goals in a competitive fixture?

Lots can happen between now and then, but there are three differences IMO which suggest Turnbull has a good chance of being correct: 1) they have better depth outside their starting XI than we did 2) Emery actually uses his substitutes a bit more 3) their system isn't as reliant on pressing quite so much. Let's see.

Pope can't clear the ball without hitting the dugout. Chrissake.

That was a great save

"The save is spectacular" Footage shows ball hit straight at him.

Villa are annoyingly good.

He was miles off tbf. You'd be raging if that call was missed against you.

Howay Bayern!

Joyless.
