I'll be honest. I don't know what the acronym stands for. Something like "proper football manager", I think. Sherwood man. Wore a gillet to convince people he was a trendy manager.

Tim Sherwood is the god of PFM morons. An absolute cockney moron of the very highest stupidity.

Howay man. A Newcastle fan doesn't know about cup competitions? Give me a break.

Replay or extra time and pens?

I was gutted at losing out on Emery but I knew Howe was the man when he rocked up at 6 in the morning to start work.

I wanted Robson to bow out gracefully and I wanted Shepherd to ask Robson to choose his successor. The way it ended was ridiculous. Souness for fucks sake.

This will be a tough game if Palace play a strong side. I just can't see Howe taking this lightly.

I can't see any more than 2 signings and I wouldn't be surprised if we were open to multiple options. What we won't do is over pay for players. Could well be the end of January before we start making moves. We will want to assess the fitness of the squad. The last thing the club will want to do is go early and go big on someone, then have Bruno or whoever pull his hamstring for the rest of the season.

I was having a little think this morning.... I wonder if Howe might consider Wilson, provided his illness has cleared. Bare in mind he's only played 45 minutes of football in 10 days. With Isak coming back post World Cup, I'd be tempted to push Wilson into the final 2 games. Ultimately, we could give Wilson an hour on Wednesday and it would hardly be too much for him.

PPG target is 1.5 for top 7. Our current points per game is 1.92. I might be wrong but averaging 2 points per game is title chasing stuff. I said a couple of weeks ago that 8th would be a disappointment. 7th is slowly creeping into disappointment territory and I feel terrible for saying that. Let's enjoy whatever comes.

I've seen enough. There's no rough patch that's going to make me think that this guy isn't the real deal. He's class, he's ours and he's here as long as he wants the job. It's a funny thing with Newcastle fans, they can decide in a week whether you are the right person for the job. If you aren't good enough, it's just a matter of time before it gets toxic and you get kicked into touch but my god if you get the love of the fans like Keegan, Robson, Rafa or Howe, they will back you for eternity.

He didn't have a hope in hell with any of them.

We've done a deal with the devil... its the only explanation for how lucky we have got with this guy. I'm not sure any other individual could have done the job he has done. The first Englishman to win the PL and he's ours, how fucking beautiful.

Saving it for later, which reminds me, I need some Kleenex.

I refuse to believe this man has anything to do with a murderous regime. Look at his little face man.

Howe pretty much confirmed changes on his post match interview. Pope Manquillo Lascelles Botman Targett Shelvey Willock Joelinton Miggy ASM Wood Thoughts: Pope doesn't need rested. Trippier won't be risked Lascelles has to get a game Botman has played fewer games than Burn or Schar Joelinton and ASM should be fresh Wilson won't be risked Left Willock and Miggy because Howe won't want too many changes.

Would be hilarious if they turned to Gerrard or even Bruce.... na noone is that stupid. They will go foreign. Nuno would be a shout.

A CB who can play RB would be perfect for us. Cover for when Krafth is out and then cover for after Lascelles leaves.

Southampton vlog. Bless their little faces when Bruno scores.

It's worth reminding any fan that cares to listen that a bad manager can make the best players look shite. Emery will do wonders for your younger players like Ramsey. I still think Villa should have bought some youth as well as experience and I think Coutinho is a right off.

Will take your word. We all live in Brunos world mate.

It's also a clever boost. Just when you get an unwanted result, you bring a lad fresh of the rank, ready to inject some enthusiasm back into the team. Worked with Bruno like a charm.

I actually think we will target a full back, since Dummett, Manquillo and Richie will all be players under threat of losing their place in the squad soon.

Reet I'm going to throw something out there.... you know there is a PL goalscorer who has recently had itchy feet, wants to become to the all time leading PL goalscorer, is desperate for a trophy before the end of his career and who's contract runs out in 18 months. Look, I'm just saying for the first time in my mind have I even considered the idea that we might be able to sign someone of his calibre. I know we love Callum but he's hardly mister reliable and we have to be thinking ahead. Don't hate me for my lunacy.

First half he was poor but even in those moments sent couple of blinding passes. Basically Brunos 5/10 is your average players 7.
