One thing I’ll be interested to see about Howe is how sentimental he will be about getting rid of some of the players who are playing now but will need replacing. People like Shelvey. 
 

I was a bit surprised to see talk of offering Longstaff a new deal and I’m just interested to see how things play out.

I knew he’d keep us up after watching the Minus 17 documentary shortly after his appointment :cool:

 

 

:indi: onwards of upwards! 

 

This is fantastic like...cheers for posting. 

 

I see so many similarities with us re galvanising the club and dragging us out of the shit. 

 

Also...that tindall assist :lol: great watch. 

 

Howe: 'he calls it a long cultured ball, I call it a hoof up the pitch'

Brilliant isn’t it. Remember how young Eddie was too when he took all this on. PFM :cool:

Love this response from Howe when asked about at what points total he can relax at:

 

"When the last ball is kicked this season. There is not time to relax, no matter how many points we get. There is a healthy pressure on us from me and everyone connected to the team to get points and get them quickly".

 

What a refreshing, determined answer. He is so driven.

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.

Is it just me or are stats becoming increasingly more far-fetched?

 

You should check out some of the stats they cobble together in the NBA. Fucking wild. Football definitely has room to get worse for it.

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.

 

God that stat drove me mad. :lol: Meant absolutely nothing.

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".
