Needs more goals against the Makems (and a penchant for Golden Delicious). Might have to wait until his 30s (not for the apples like).

We all enjoyed the result (…well most of us, at least)

Howay Dubz!!!

Howay Ant Lad!!

Dubz has been guessing right ?

Howay Ando II !

Howay Bruno

Howay Dubz!

Howay Fab!

Got a proper FA Cup game.

If this was a pub, I’d be moving to another room. Hold your nerve chaps.

Winning this one.

Kin hell. Nervous anyone?

It’s like having a brick wall across our goal ?

Corrected.

He’s our second best performing PL manager. You’re using a skewed lens.

Written by a Makem, loved by Geordies!

Wonder how many will end up at Man Utd?

Me too. Love it and one of the first tunes I learned to play (on whistle/flute not guitar). Not least as it is easy to play (Blaydon Races is even easier). Though it is actually called Going Home ?. ‘Twas just the theme to Local Hero—nice film but nowt to do with us/North East, whereas Going Home is very much about us—Mark Knopfler going home.

Standard rumour mill output I suspect. People speculate and the speculation gathers momentum, we all are drawn to ‘no smoke without fire’ kind of thinking. Bottom line on this, nobody, who is talking, knows anything.

FA Cup draw has been/is going to be kind to us. The football gods owe us one!

TTD syndrome. (Terminal ‘Tache Disaster)

Yep, re-read but still might useful to state the bleeding obvious context ?

Is that the way Howe’s team played n the victory over Arsenal this season? (1-0 H) or the May 2022 2-0 H win? What about Man City in the League Cup (1-0 H)? or the narrow loss to them (0-1) away? Or the 3-3 H draw last season? Or even the 2-3 loss this season. We’ve scored six in three home games to ‘that’ side. How about the two victories against Man Utd this season (3-0 A and 1-0 H)? Or the away draw (0-0) and home victory (2-0) over them last season? What about the 4-1 H defeat of Chelsea? Did the 2-1 A and 6-1 H victories over Spurs last season count? Or the last two home demolitions of Villa? (5-1 and 4-0)? Even the 1-2 loss at home to Liverpool when we had 60% possession and 23 shots. Or do you think Howe’s tactics in the last game and the disappointment of not beating teams at home recently in some way wipe out the past performances and just show that this is the Howe/NUFC way? We’ve seen some amazing performances, and despite the ‘he only plays one way’ baloney, of course he/they are flexible tactically and will cut their cloth according to the opposition and the way we think we’ll get the best result. And of course it is not always going to work. Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are absolutely top class teams who we can still only aspire to be like. Ourselves and Villa are in the conversation with Man Utd, Chelsea, and Spurs. Even in the best case scenario we’ll be hovering around top third for an another season or two. Howe is our second best PL era manager in terms of points return. He will be the best by the end of next season. Just settle in and enjoy the ride.
