A goal and an assist for Big Nick today.

It'll be 3-0 today. And Big Nick will score a goal. I'm looking forward to my beer in front of the TV.

My anticipation for tomorrow is growing. I'm currently chilling the beer and ironing my jersey.

That goes down like a treat. An article from KICKER, Germany's most important sports magazine. "After just a short time, Nick Woltemade has become one of Newcastle's top performers. With his performances, he quickly earned the trust of his teammates, who therefore keep seeking him out. Despite an unfamiliar league and his first foreign stint with Newcastle United, Nick Woltemade didn't need any time to warm up. It doesn't seem as if the tall striker hasn't been wearing the Magpies' jersey for less than two months. The 23-year-old has already integrated well into the game after such a short time, as a statement from teammate Anthony Gordon after the 3-0 win against Benfica made clear. "He fits my game so well. He sees the small passes I play around the corner – that's my style of play as a winger," the 24-year-old told the BBC. But it's not just the 16-time England international who enjoys playing alongside the summer signing. "Nick has settled in well in this respect, especially because the lads trust him with the ball and are willing to pass it to him at any time," assured coach Eddie Howe at the press conference before Saturday's home game against Fulham (4 p.m.). This speaks volumes, he said, above all to Woltemade's attitude and courage. The coach was also impressed by his physical development. Since his arrival, the attacker has "improved enormously" in this aspect. "I think he showed his best physical performance to date against Benfica. I thought his pressing from the front, his attitude to pressing, his stamina and robustness were outstanding," Howe explained. Nevertheless, the challenge remains to get him up to a top level for the many English weeks. Both physically and mentally, it's a new rhythm for the 23-year-old. After the good start, Howe finds him significantly more relaxed than at the beginning. "I see a player and a person who comes to the training ground and feels more comfortable in his surroundings," says the 47-year-old. Accordingly, his "natural personality" is increasingly coming through. Woltemade seems to have quickly found his feet in Newcastle, and not just on the pitch."

I think Nick can relate to that. He goes through the world with his eyes wide open. What BILD wrote is utter bullshit.

Sorry, you're probably right. But I'll learn. I've only been here a short time. My apologies to myleftboot.

It's a disgrace to call Nick a rat; you should be ashamed of yourself. I did some research in Germany and will quote the BILD editor: Falk doesn't believe we'll see Woltemade in Munich "next summer or the summer after." But: "I've heard that will continue to appeal to him in the future. He's making a name for himself in Newcastle, and who knows, when his contract ends, whether he might become a topic of discussion at Bayern again." BILD is like the SUN here in England. They needed a hook again and launched such bullshit. Nick is and remains Toon.

Nick is a good character. He will achieve legendary status at Toon. He will play here for many years to come and win titles.

Salah is completely out of form. Yesterday, after coming on as a substitute, he could have set up a goal for Wirtz. But he was selfish and tried to do it himself. I don't like him.

He only thrived in the great environment at Toon. Wolte is much more talented and an instinctive player. Wolte lives football. It's a blessing from God that Isak left and Woltemade came.

Isak is a pussy. Today he had only a shot on goal against Frankfurt. Ekitike scored his goal. But I will always be grateful to Isak, because otherwise Woltemade wouldn't be here. Isak had everything here - a functioning team, great fans, and a fantastic environment. But unfortunately, he doesn't have a good character. I find it disgusting to force his transfer through a strike. Woltemade was completely different at Stuttgart; even though he wanted to move to Bayern, he delivered. I'm so happy he's playing here now and hope he stays here until the end of his career.

That's probably how it will happen.

The top eight teams are seeded and will be drawn against the eight playoff teams. They also have home advantage in the return leg, as far as I remember.

I'm really looking forward to Saturday. The teamwork is getting better and better, and if Gordon and Woltemade continue to harmonize like this, then God bless the other teams.

Our new Dream-Team!

In Germany, English goalkeepers generally don't have a very good reputation. Please don't be offended. Pope proved otherwise. I've seen all the games this Season and I have to say he's a world-class goalkeeper. Very strong Performances.

I've switched to Toon. As a German, I was really looking forward to the game today. I love Toon. I never would have thought I'd rather watch the St. James's game than the Dortmund game. Great game. The second half was terrific. Gordon was man of the match.

Even without scoring, he's so important to the team. His ball distribution and passing accuracy are simply fantastic. If things are going this way after two months, I'm already looking forward to seeing how things will go in six months, when the team is even more in sync.

Completely agree. Salah is just a shadow of his former self.

I recently read that PSG is interested in Tonali.

I envy everyone who can be in the stadium. Have fun and hopefully a win. I'll be sitting in front of the TV in my Woltemade jersey and drinking a beer.

Thats my information: At Dortmund's Bundesliga debut, a 3-3 draw with FC St. Pauli resulted in an incident: Jobe was substituted at halftime. His father, Mark Bellingham, was on hand, having traveled from England especially for the match, and subsequently sought a meeting with the club's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, in a restricted area of the stadium. The club responded with an internal decision: access by local residents and agents to certain restricted areas (e.g., the locker room and corridor areas) was to be more restricted in the future.

Germany has changed a lot in recent years. It has become much more multicultural. The prejudices or virtues that once existed in the world certainly only apply to a portion of the population today. And basically, it's the same in all countries, whether British or German. There are good characters and there are assholes. People are the same in all countries. Well, maybe there's a bit more of one group or the other in certain countries. It certainly depends on the observer's perspective.

Jobe's father's behavior after his substitution in Dortmund's first Bundesliga game hasn't been widely discussed publicly. I haven't heard anything major about it. However, Dortmund has responded internally by restricting access to sensitive areas for family members.

Ah okay, sorry for being so sensitive.
