The interview of a man on the brink of losing his job I'd think. If not, what an ironically imbalanced, petulant, turd.

This sounded like fellas my age that's the thing (35). Could be wrong though. I do agree this whole "change the manager every two minutes" mentality is a bit of a modern 'Sky' generation thing mind. Think fans of some clubs (like Arsenal and Spurs) seem to think they have a divine right to success (as do the other "big six"). It's minging. We're all guilty of it "We're Newcastle" and all that "We're bigger than x, y and z" but ultimately all clubs win cups based on sustained form in any given competition and are generally won on merit of some sort. They just seem to apply this to us because we're one of the few clubs that can now provide a saulstained challenge to that status quo and the fact they think "we're beneath them" should be a fuel for us to burn the bastards with.

Meh. Praises his players and says the right thing about them playing for the club. "Didn't get what they deserved" not sure I agree with. The same was said up here. Both times we've taken our (half?) chances and missed others. They haven't taken the same amount as us, and haven't come away with owt on either occasion. Need to look at themselves or accept we outplayed them even if it was just ever so slightly.

Feel a bit for Osula but ultimately Howe won us the game with his changes and has a proven record of developing and getting the best out of players. Just need to trust his judgement on Osula and hope he does just as well with his introduction as he has all of his other signings.

If it's the chance I am thinking of I actually thought he should take a touch then place it or alternatively had squared it to Isak. Mind it's easier said in hindsight and would kind of expect him to be selfish too.

Thought he started very slow today and they scored as a result of his rustiness and us just being a little open. Fast put that right though and after around 15mins looked rather comfortable for the most part. Will be good to see him get back to 100% as he's an absolute Rolls Royce defender on his day.

It's glorious

It's actually like hysterical. Was listening to 5Live there for half an hour when a Spurs fan comes on. What was said: 1) Not a level playing field - Referee allowed us to waste time, cheat and gave us a goal that was a blatant handball 2) In reply to the hosts reply (that Newcastle simply won because they managed the game well and wouldn't he want Spurs to do the same) he said "Yes" 3) This then lead to a rant by the presenter saying "you're talking about all these 'kids' playing but how much did you spend on Archie Gray?" The answer was "What's that got to do with anything" and Chris Sutton backing the caller up saying "He's still a kid though". The presenter said "Well you've spent all this money on talents that should provide you with depth and then they were outplayed by Newcastle." 4) The kid then goes on to blame Levy (after being questioned about Ange and his tactics and unwillingness to change)...correct me if I'm wrong...but Levy has spent fuck tonnes getting them a state of the art stadium, they've made multiple signings and investment for around 2 decades now and they're blaming Levy for what? Lack of investment? I don't know..I need someone to explain that to me. All in all, the caller got fairly pulled to shreds. They then went to the news and an Arsenal fan comes on complaining about Arteta, saying "Arsenal need to spend £200m on Isak and just go out and get him." What £200m is this like?! Does FFP not apply to them?! At the very end of my drive a Scottish toon fan came on, on a bad line and basically said "Cry babies" to paraphrase. It was a lot more polite than that but the presenters were basically saying "folk shouldn't take the shine off the form that we are in." Absolutely right. I tell you what - Spurs, Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool under Klopp, they all fucking hate the fact their might be a new kid on the block and a threat to their individual empires and collective closed shop. It makes it all the more sweeter us beating the bastards. I'd fucking love to win the league cup having beat Chelsea, Arsenal and either Spurs or Liverpool. This is long, long overdue this cup win and the salt needs rubbed in to the wounds we've created by cutting this big 6 open. The bastards.

Be a catastrophe based on the last 5 or 6 games

Isn't it fucking lush?! "How dare Newcastle challenge us" Spurs and Man United? Not even on the radar now. We have Forest and Bournemouth to worry about again.

If all things were equal it'd have been a draw... It wasn't, cause they're shite.

He'll be gone by a week on Monday.

This is a beautiful sight tbf. 3 non "big 6".

Man mark Palmer and they're pretty average I'd say.

He kinda went about his business very quietly but effectively today. Really led by example and found an extra gear in injury time mind. Looking so fucking good now.

I'd happily take a draw here tbf. Spurs are the sort of side to get up for a game like this and batter us Given our recent form I'm confident we can avoid that like but aye, we beat them at home, a draw away wouldn't be terrible. Two draws and a win from the next three would be just nice. Anything more then we can be excited.

I am of the view that with Maddison and Palmer and others just like them of you man mark them with Tonali then you nullify their main threats. I think Burn and Hall will have enough to see off Kulesevski's strengths.

Wor lass is a fan of the Spaghetti/Moretti combination like 🤌🤌

Absolutely. What a bizarre way of going on

Honestly man. The levels of disrespectful comments shown towards Howe. I know it's a football forum and folk can share their frustrations and all that general polite discussion bollocks, but fuck me man. Sticking to your guns still holds a lot more than this fickle, fuckery. Howe deserves our endless support and belief.

What makes a good keeper nowadays? Liek what's the basis? I feel there's more emphasis with foot action than goalkeeping and if thatis genuinely the case then perhaps Dubravka is closer to number 1 at present...

WARNING: DRINK INDUCED POST But all those folk seriously questionning Eddie Howe and his capability to proceed a few weeks back need to have a good, solid word with themselves and be rightfully ashamed. Critiquing is one thing but the suggestion of Iraola and Mourinho man. Fuck me. Come off the sauce

I'm not laid back on Newcastle. I just want us want get that cup this year. It'd mean more than the world to me. This year. I'm sick of these bastards and others taking the piss who frankly don't get it.

Exactly this. Fuck Man United.
