Honestly...aye. I actually joked about Eddie Howe having freedom of the city earlier and saying we already do... :lol: Nar but seriously...most folk like what we do. We're just supporters the same as anyone else. If they can be a legitimate part of it, they will either try or do so. The 3 lads who did the abseiling and rope management of today's flag were like top, top drawer professionals and 3 Geordie lads. Honestly. No credit to WFs for that but to the three lads who stood on the roof of the Sandman managing all the pulleys etc. Fucking wow. Heroes. Absolute fucking heroes. For me, the biggest and best depiction of the loyalty to this club today.

Nah I'm too pussy

Champion. Stay at home. Just messing mate. Jokes aside, I agree. Ill be on the roof at Sandman signature at 16:00 so will need to make a hasty walk through Leazes park to there

This is where I am aiming for too. So please ensure you don't block my view.

As much as this last 6 weeks have been absolutely awesome...I won't be sad when it slows back down Mind...not sure it will until the end of the season now.

Better not have too heavy a breakfast

Straight through Leazes and Exhibition Park via foot if you wanna do that.

No - it should be fine. If you want to let me know where your seat is via direct message then I can probably get the dimensions and requirements for you int he coming week(s)? It will most likely need a fire safety certificate and I can point you in the direction of the supplier we use to hopefully remove any potential concerns from the club

Aye. Some of this all harkens back to Lascelles and Rafa - the shift in attitude towards the club - the notion that Newcastle was not simply a stepping stone. Newcastle United should demand respect and hold itself in higher regard than it perhaps was. I do wonder what involvement Rafa had with Staveley. I once had a meeting with him (Rafa) and he was an absolute legend like, he was giving his views on the protests and stuff and asking us to maybe do one or two things slightly differently. Which made me think he knew all along what was brewing behind the scenes. Back to Lascelles though, he called out all this shit in the changing room at Southampton one half time if I remember correctly then was quickly made captain shortly after (I think). Maybe not from a footballing perspective but from a professional one, he has earned the right to a winners medal and the privilege of being one of the first to lift a cup.

One of the lads (Dan) absolutely nailed this display tbh. The design and everything. He's not allowed to read this though.

Plans are afoot. Not organised ones, but some pretty strong initial concepts. One which (for me) I think would arguably be our most powerful yet via one specific metric.

The latter part of that you said I also mentioned to my mates on Sunday night. One of the lads said how it was a bit unusual that Osula was like front and centre of a lot of the celebrations and I said that "for me it's to show him that even though he's not getting much game time yet, if he works hard, he can stay here, become a big name and win trophies." Same applies to Dan Burn being in the England set up. Model pro. Sets the standard and above all else he's the greatest centre half the world has ever seen.

There is something in what you've said I reckon and that is that the South Americans in general wear their hearts on their sleeves with regards to football and I think we've always been a very hearty club but not always with much head. Eddie Howe has brought that element and all of a sudden, we've become a lot more well rounded as a club.

Just seen that interview immediately after the game for the first time. Wow. Powerful stuff. He fucking adores it here and we fucking adore him. What a guy. Growing into such a good captain.

It was a moment where I just went wild and started calling them every swear word under the sun then got a lump in my throat right after thinking "my fucking God"

That out-pouring of "Oh my fucking God, we did it" has properly set me off like.

Canny funny listening to folk who don't like us fall over themselves to rubbish it. It's one of the major honours in English club football.
