Howe: adopted Geordie Bruce: disowned Geordie

That's awful defending like, bloody hell

Vile pigs

What do you think of the clan? Howe: Wu Tang is forever Bruce: I love their pointy hoods

Isn't Ream a Made in Chelsea word or something?

Howe: A king and his pawns, bringing through the young Bruce: Chicken Chow Mein

Howe: Never quits Bruce: Chippy tits

Howe: treat every player like a son Bruce: treat every son like a player

This is up there with my favourite things in all of this, hearing the older generation absolutely buzzing over everything. I've mentioned it before, but I think if you asked my lass's dad who he loves more, Eddie Howe or his sons, there'd be an awkward pause. He absolutely loves the bloke, it's genuinely like witnessing the start of the Keegan era again.

On a similar note, I really need to find a way to watch the match without my lass around. That's a few times now where I've celebrated a goal, she's screamed with fright, tried to tell me off and instead of celebrating I've ended up saying "I'm allowed to celebrate Newcastle scoring man! Piss off!" and the moment being taken away from me. She's worse than VAR.

I don't care what level you're playing at, that's an unreal first touch and finish

Howe: takeaways Bruce: takeaways

*vaux outrage

Howe: Galacticos Bruce: Jacamo's

The break is class with us being 3rd. I'm going to milk it for all it's worth, proper showing off to random members of the public and everything.

Thought he was absolutely fine yesterday. His pressing was spot on and he did very little wrong on the ball. Solid performance.

Just trying to imagine the current East Stand age demographic dealing with the Stand being that steep. Leaning over to pass someone a Werther's Original and suddenly...darkness.

You got the link? Hello btw

You didn't miss much tbh. I would imagine it'll be on YouTube at some point

Love that the drawings are coming out. Can't wait to see where this conversation goes.

Change your TV sound settings I reckon Thought it sounded very loud.

Thought he was well below his usual standard when he was on the ball tonight, but defensively he was excellent again.

Was thinking this earlier, he's a few different signings rolled into one. Like if Brian Kilkline also just so happened to be the best player we'd ever seen play for us in his position. Even then that doesn't really do it justice.

It didn't feel like the right game for him tbh, our best football was coming down the left with little and big Joe
