Sean Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Howe tactically annihilated Slot - his refusal/inability to adapt to our tactics effectively gave us one of the simplest victories you will ever see. Mastermind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Won't shy away from some of my comments earlier in the season about being concerned he'd be able to take us to the 'next step' and genuinely thought it would run it's natural cause in the next year or so. But also was quite clear that there's nobody I'd want more to deliver a trophy than him. He's done that now and rightfully takes his place alongside the likes of Harvey, Milburn & Shearer as the top of the tree legends that will forever be associated with Newcastle United. From day 1 he's just absolutely 'got it', hasn't he? I hope he's here for years and years. For me now, he's about as far away from criticism as you possibly can be and probably has the safest job in the league, and rightfully so btw. Many have tried and failed to deliver what he's done - not to discredit what Keegan & Robson did as it was different eras and both are absolutely synonymous with this club. The bloke will get a statue (though I'm all for waiting till the day he's no longer our manager, would be a bit odd otherwise imo) and hopefully the plaque on there has a long list of titles he's won. As an absolute born pessimist, I can say with pretty decent conviction that this League cup will be the first of a good few trophies with him as manager. You won't be able to write the story of NUFC without mentioning Eddie Howe. I'm going to be a greedy bastard here - I want a european trophy. I know the European Cup is probably out of reach whilst Real Madrid exist, but we should definitely be going hell for leather for the Europa League if the opportunity arises. Even the King and Souness got to a quarter in that, and Robson came mightily close in 04. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s in England maybe prior to the villa job, the whole “good ebening” stuff but yeah I think maybe not so true now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I wouldn’t swap and agree that each fits the respective club perfectly. It just seemed he got hammered here but I suppose that was pre Villa. I think that’s reflected in the fact he was at Villa tbf, like at the time it wasn’t a great job to take Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Villa, my perception was that he was an excellent tournament manager who'd had mixed returns in terms of league performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Honestly can't say enough about what this giant has achieved. I'm still struggling for the right words. After the summer with Staveley going, I was genuinely worried about whether his heart was still in it. Silly me. Because then, he just rose above all that and if you're a player or a fan you're now going to follow this guy right to the end. I've never seen us turn up like that when it mattered and just shrug off the likes of Gordon and Hall being out, no excuses no pity party. 70 years wiped out not in an instant, but in 100 minutes of controlled yet emotional play against one of the best teams you'll face. Let's get champions league now and see what he can do next. He's the man, no question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lads usually spot on with his ITK Let you know if I hear anything else.. Update.. hearing he can upgrade to Tetleys extra strong teabags, Alpro oat milk?? & Mellow Birds coffee.. as long as he sends in the receipts.. more as it comes… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The can't be too many managers that have been so monumentally significant at two clubs. What he did at Bournemouth absolutely transformed the club, a massive figure in their history. Then for us to be the first manager to win a cup in over half a century.

NUFCDoog Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Spurs game would have to be up there, gets glossed over a lot these days, probably because of where Spurs are, but at the time that game was massive, and genuinely felt like winners get CL, so to be 5 nil up after 21 minutes was insane.
