Newcastle are now the first team in top-flight history to win no more than one of their opening 20 league games of a season but then manage five victories in the next six matches. 

That underlines the scale of the improvement under Eddie Howe in even plainer terms.

It is staggering how much Howe has given the club a facelift since coming in and they face Southampton full of confidence.

Of course no one else has done that extremely specific stat before us man :lol:

It's why that 'no team has failed to win X amount of games and stayed up' fact was daft when we were sat with more points via draws than teams who'd got fewer points than us via wins and stayed up.

If we stay up we will be the first team to ever do so having spent the most money in the January transfer window this season than any other club.

Have to be honest, when people were saying 'no team has ever been in such a bad position and got out of it in PL history, i genuinely thought we were fucked. The turnaround needed seemed impossible. What EH, his backroom staff and the players have done is mind blowing really

Didn't we do something similar where we were the first in the champions league to lose our opening 3 and still qualify?

Much in the same vein as, "Newcastle have lost all of their last visits to this ground".

He got a bit of criticism when he was at Bournemouth in the Premier League for still using players he had in League 1 and Championship but I think you can tell by how much he's improved our squad players how good he is at getting even higher performances out of players who maybe thought they'd already reached their ceiling

We will be the first top-flight team ever, if we stay up, to have done so under a manager who did so with a -17 point deduction outside of the top-flight for a different club.

What's this in reference to?

I'd assume it refers to EH keeping Bournemouth up a few years ago when they started the season on -17 pts in League 2. Watched the show "Minus 17", think it's on Prime (or maybe YT), amazing stuff

Good lad Eddie. Starting Bruno tonight just for the giggles in seeing their manager absolutely seething.
