Robster Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 If it had been truly, 'typical Newcastle', he would have tested positive 9/10 days ago. At least it's happened today and he's had 2 weeks of training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically us Desperate to greet a new manager who gives a fuck, likely wor flags had a display planned, everyone absolutely buzzing for the game.... 'Nahh sorry lads, Howe's got covid'. So near yet so far.... Sums us up perfectly. Edited November 19, 2021 by Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will just have to see and cross fingers half the team don't have it. Being more unrealistically optimistic maybe it is a false negative and he can make it tomorrow when they work that out in the morning! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I was gutted about this and still am, but I'm confident that the actual preparation has been done to go and win the game tomorrow. Really looking forward to seeing how we play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking for trouble. I’d imagine every person he came across between his hotel and the training ground will have wanted to shake his hand. Like a sitting duck. Let’s just hope they did enough work this week and that it sticks tomorrow. So is letting 50000 into the ground then, surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(also planned in March) Would be a lot worse if he missed the training building up to this. Its a shitter not having him there on person but his team can take care of the sidelines and he will be there virtually. Howe projected via zoom on the big screen for a pre match message to the crowd? They better! Better still have a giant Howe all the way through on the big screen yelling at the players through the PA! "THIS ISN'T A CRITICISM JONJO, IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT WAY OF WALKING. FUCKING RUN" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Maybe I'm putting 2 and 2 together here and coming up with 5 but it's blatantly obvious he's been holding secret talks with De Bruyne this week and unfortunately one of them has given the other one COVID.

Stottie Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 17 hours ago, Dokko said: Most likely just spiel to get the best out of what he's got right now. He's got a rep of getting players performing above their ceiling. If we could get Shelvey performing at 80% we would see a totally different player and someone worth Fielding. Right now he's a mess physically & mentally but it's a fresh start for all, including him so let's see if he takes it. Even if it's for 2 months till he burns out or gets sick of the effort, really that's all we need him for until we can replace him. Wasn't Shelvey lampooned by the tabloids about six or seven years ago for putting an ad out for a live-in "cook", probably a sports nutritionist, on something like fifty grand a year? He said it was because he didn't know how to eat properly on his own. Top clubs famously have fixers to help players with all kinds of mundane daily activities. Stuff like getting a mobile phone. Diet will be hyper complex compared to some of the tasks done for them. As with ASM running into blind alleys when faced with no other option, Shelvey would be far more effective when there are runners ahead of the ball, not just a static forward's head to aim at.
