Not one of the three of them would have ever copped the Eddie Howe connection until she blatantly got it in there earpiece

Football songs are in danger of growing stale. I'm taking them to strange new places.

Some non-NUFC fans definitely know about it, few of my friends who are fans of other clubs have mentioned it to me when talking about Newcastle.

Once the Batman link has been established pivoting to Nirvana's 'Something in the Way' from the most recent movie would be pretty sweet. Ideal for a defender. Replace the 'Yeah' with 'Sven' and the 'mmmm-mmmm' with 'Botman'

Reckon in games against better opponents we might start him at CF with Wilson on the bench. Liverpool game was an absolutely perfect illustration of what he can offer in that role against sides that aren't going to sit back. Against weaker sides where we're expecting to dominate I think you're more likely to see him off Wilson in one of the wide spots. Not to say he'll be an automatic starter once fit, with the way Wilson and Miggy are playing he'll have to earn it. I suspect he might do though, somehow. Man, the thought of having everyone fit and competing for spots is great

Seeing people try to do something clever and making a tit of themselves is funny, to most people.

@Mike it just feels weird when you like my posts now, I assume you're being a cunt somehow

Perfect way to get some interest in the cups too. So much interest has been lost in them, think a Redzone style thing for these nights in the cup would be immense and really get people more interested in it.

Would be absolutely class, hope it happens.

I do wonder if Ashworth will try to have deals lined up for early in the window. If we do feel like we can make a push for 4th then having players in the door early in January could be huge. Give them time to bed in and be ready for the push. Maddison and Diaby in the first few days of January, give them 10 days to bed in and be ready for Fulham at SJP on January 14th. Only our 19th game of the season... we'd be ready for a real push IMO.

Aye, would definitely like to see us bring someone in. Guess my point was that a first choice RW isn't the gaping need it seemed to be a few months ago. Ideally we'd buy a left footed player who's better on the right but can play left if necessary. From what I know of Diaby he seems like a great shout. Wilson, Isak, ASM, Almiron and Diaby would be a quality group of players to be rotating between three spots. Still think Almiron could be played as one of the midfield three too, as you say having a deep squad full of talented versatile players sounds absolutely delightful.

Just three non-negotiable things for Howe that he expects of every player. Always give your best, put the team first and be willing to learn and improve are Howe's. He said on the pod after he went through it that Murphy came in afterwards with his own list. Think he said a few others did but Murphy was the one he mentioned by name.

Listening to that podcast with Howe, Murphy being the player who went back to Howe with his own list of non-negotiables was pretty funny. Teacher's pet Jokes aside though, good on him for being somebody who clearly realised he needed a lot of help in terms of developing to where he wants to be as a footballer and has eagerly jumped at the opportunity to work under Howe. Hope it comes good for him, I don't think he's got enough about him to be a long term member of the first team squad but he'll probably be around another season after this. We've seen some improvement recently and if he keeps making steps forward he could yet turn into the footballer we hoped we were getting and have a decent career for himself.

Aye, think that's what we can expect. Almiron is just playing too well for us to go out and buy a first choice RW but we're definitely light in terms of quality wide options even if Isak can play there a bit too. A quality young prospect who can mostly be used off the bench for a while seems ideal. Seems to not be the consensus but I personally love Bruno at DM and would love to see him with someone like Maddison playing the role we see Willock in when Bruno plays alongside the Joes. They'd be lethal together.

I think the actual answer to the riddle is 'Good Signing' by the way.

On my way to St. Ives I met Chris Wood with his seven wives Each wife had seven bags Each bag had seven linings Each lining had seven materials. Who are we signing in January?

Gotta be Joelinton instead of Willock?

Quite pleasing that we've been the final nail, he acted like a complete dipshit last season.

Fuck 7th.

SELL ANDERSON HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

Just want ASM to rip the piss for twenty minutes here.

Christ I have to get to an away game

Jesus Christ Trippier is the sex.

I think Eddie Howe is literally God. Change my mind.
