Feeling really positive about this game, think we might nick the full 3 points. Eddie is instilling a great sense of positivity. If we can get off to a good start here I can see our fortunes transforming quickly

That frontline of Cabella, De Jong and Rivière, how many goals did they score between them?

Great guy, I have really fond memories of him even though his main skill was winning free kicks. Was a true pro

Great from Roy Keane there, we need more pundits actually saying what they think

Gerrllllllld from Kane

Absolutely class that video of training, unimaginable that we could have had that under the previous cockroach. It’s difficult readjusting to actually liking my club

Sir Alan style, they all turn up half asleep and then have to go round Newcastle finding ten items to haggle, at the end of the day Hendrick and Shelvey both get brought into the boardroom and are fired. I’d pay to watch that

Rodgers to Man U is getting a lot of media coverage, there’s supposedly a verbal agreement in place for him to take over, the question is when

Shelvey starting is a sackable offence like

If this were to fall through I’d be more concerned about Howe and his demands than our side. Mostly I’d be concerned about the fact we’d be pretty fucked though

He’ll get us organised and I like his philosophy. I’m quietly optimistic, we bring in the right players in January and I think we’ll stay up

The role is high risk, high reward. I could see it being hugely tempting to anyone who’s not already managing a successful club or one in Europe. We’re going to have huge transfer resources available to turn things around, we’re likely going to be revolutionising all aspects of the club to make it elite in terms of training facilities. A lot of managers with confidence would back themselves to make something special of this opportunity

I’ve got nothing against Howe, he seems like a good guy and I think he did a pretty decent job at Bournemouth. I’m not expected by the prospect of him coming in, however, it definitely wouldn’t be a bad appointment. As mentioned above, I’d be very confident we’d go down with Lampard or Martinez. With Howe, my major concern is how he’d be in the transfer market but if we have a director of football pulling those strings I’d be confident we could get the players in, in January to avoid relegation

Get the fuck in, not my top choice but punching so far above what we could have dreamed of over a month ago. I think he’s a better long-term candidate than many other names that were touted as well

Aye, apologies lads

I remember asking over a week ago about whether the fans would turn on him and it’s certainly been toxic online, you still don’t think people will turn in the stands?

Fuck me, if we somehow got Rafa back I’d be over the moon. I want a manager with that integrity and that absolute obsession for the game involved in our club

I like this new feature where you can see who said what, means we can out the freaks from now on

Is ole someone you can trust to roll his sleeves up? I can only think of one man I’d trust in this situation

Aye, people wanted us to remain a laughing stock club, the other clubs aren’t laughing now. I understand why fans hated us in the Owen era and how it was hilarious for them when we went down twice. That’s football, I’ll find it hilarious when we start winning things and some of them get relegated. That’s sport

Football’s fucking mental

Played us more like

It’s my birthday today, would be a nice present if Bruce left

To be honest, I generally don’t like going back in for previous managers and clearly he’s not going to walk away from Everton as he’s too honourable. However, if there was one manager I would trust to build us into a consistently strong team, challenging for silverware season on season it would be Rafa and I don’t think it would take him more than three years. Gutted we didn’t get the takeover sorted when he was here
