Newcastle manager dodging the "Lord Mayor's Show" cliche is almost as big an achievement as winning a cup

 

How can this be the case when we've never won anything?

"They have been English champions four times (in 1905, 1907, 1909, 1927) and FA Cup winners six times (in 1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955). The club have also won the 1909 Charity Shield, the 1968–69 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup"

 

Oh...and the Dan Burn League Cup.

Time to eat some humble pie here. He has definitely turned a corner as a manager and that has to be appreciated and applauded. All of the things I thought were so evident as flaws seem to have been adjusted slightly this season and he can only be applauded for that.

 

We do not seem to be hell bent on one way of playing. The 2 arsenal games showed slight tweaks in formation and style, something we didnt do even when we didnt have the players to play the way we seemingly wanted to. The substitutions don't seem to be just favourites now on the 60th minute or reactive, they actively change the change each time. We are using players and shifting around to manage games and try to win games. Previously this didnt happen. The travel for games seems different and access to the club.

 

The greatest thing a manager can do is evolve and I 100% think he has done that. I do no think last year we would have adapted to the arsenal games the way we did this year and that is all credit to him. He's become a better manager with more experience and its to our benefit.

 

I never wanted him to fail here but also never thought he had those subtle changes in him and im delighted hes shown that he has

[SteV]

Right at the end of his presser:

 

Journo: “So in terms of new contract announcements, you wouldn’t expect anything more before the end of the season?”

 

Eddie (with big smile and a glint in his eye): “who knows”

 

[Ellis H]

As if Louise Taylor wasn’t annoying enough that tapping when she asks a question is infuriating. It’s like she’s rapping her shit stirring questions.

I've just decided we're winning our 5th league title exactly 100 years after our 4th

While you're right, he had evolved absolutely loads before he even took the job here. If you had to list his strengths, desire to learn would surely have been near the top.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Not sure we were ever hell bent on one way of playing. There’s been plenty of tweaks throughout his time here. We’ve changed formations in games Wilson Isak 4-4-2 anyone? Dan burn as left back/auxiliary centre back in defence. Joelinton and Willock interchanging on the left hand side. 
 

He’s not perfect but nobody is.

Actually Eddie was always doing those things.

 

You were simply wrong about him.

[joeyt]

Any stats on how many times we've won by 3 or more goals under him?

[Yorkie]

27 times.

That's pretty incredible.  

 

I'm guessing that's around 9 times a season

Was just thinking this morning about how I feel like i'm becoming spoiled as a fan. I woke up and instead of basking in the afterglow of an easy and impressive away win, I was already thinking and fretting about Sunday's game and it got me thinking about being a fan, how things have evolved in the last 3 years and how I don't like feeling this way. Decided to check the stats and see how many "routine" away wins we've had under Eddie in that time and picked most of them out:

 

2022/23

 

Fulham - 4-1, absolutely spanked them, one of the easiest away wins i've witnessed as a fan

Southampton - 4-1, rarely was a win in doubt

Leicester 3-0 - game won by half time

West Ham - 5-1. Five fucking one man, could only really recall winning 5-1 away in the league at West Brom in 89 off the top of my head. Also, Coventry under Gullitt in a freakish game around 98 or 99.

Everton - 4-1. Finally a comfy win at this place, one of my favorites under Eddie

 

2023/24

 

Sheff Utd - 8-0. Howay man.

Man Utd - 3-0. Ok, bit of a cheat, league cup game but still magnificent

Mackems - 3-0. Another cup game but still, one to savor

Villa - 3-1. Played them off the park, except for the last 15 or so. 3 up and should have scored more.

Burnley - 4-1. Probably in second gear or might have hit double figures.

Brentford - 4-2. Not routine as such, but 4 away goals is top

 

2024/25

 

Forest - 3-1. Had to come from behind but great win, another 3 goals on the road

Ipswich - 4-0. Could have been another Sheff Utd.

Man Utd - 2-0. Only 2 but howay, a comfy win at Old Trafford? Only happened once before in my lifetime

Southampton - 3-1. As routine as it gets

Leicester - 3-0. Another one and it prompted my thoughts on this.

 

These are just the away wins, didn't even delve into the times we spanked someone at home, loads of them.

 

I count 16 comfortable, basically "routine" away wins just in the last 3 years. I suppose the point of this ramble, I need to enjoy this NOW, and I think more of us should than actually do, these are halcyon days man. I wouldn't want to paint everyone with the same brush but in the match thread last night, I saw loads of comments like "this is crap", "this is boring", "why aren't we trying to score more" etc etc. I count myself in that, I was aggravated with the second half. Then I calmed down and realized what we had just done. We just won an away league game inside 11 fucking minutes. 

 

I would say that a 3-0 away win, if it had happened in the second half of the 80s when I was first going, would have been talked about for weeks. It just didn't really happen. Even in the KK years, away wins tended to come with jeopardy, a daft goal conceded to make it closer than it should have been. The Ashley years, don't make me laugh. 

 

We are now coached and run in such a professional and brilliant way, easily the best in my lifetime, we can win away games in first gear within 11 minutes. Let that sink in, the next time you want to send some vitriol this man's way.

 

TLDR: This is a class time to be a fan, best in over 50 years

 

Edit - add Brentford (2-0) and Norwich (3-0) from the second half of 22 to the list. Had completely forgotten about them.

With Sandro’s quick passing and the pace and strength we have on the counter and in transition we are a big problem away from home usually. We’ve got tough away games left but I fancy us to pick up at least 1 further result

Hope Eddie and JT have made note of Arteta and Emery's results for when we play them so JT can get into the 4th official about them 😅

Quality post. 

 

These really are great times to be a fan. A domestic cup and challenging the "big six" for Champions League spots, all without a meaningful signing in three transfer windows. Eddie is the man.
