So many that are really close together for different reasons, but I'd go for that first half against Spurs because it was hilarious. Easy to forget that was a pivotal match at the time.

54 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The 6-1 vs Spurs was just mental, the multiple shithouse wins vs Arsenal, the 2-0 against Man United this season, and an honorable mention to that Bruno goal vs Leicester in the last minute which all but confirmed survival.

Superior Acuña Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Spurs away in year we came 4th was also the game where I started to think we might be the real deal Everton win just after Leeds was monumental in survival.

Yorkie Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The Spurs 6-1 would be my shout too. I think that's got to be it. Epic, unusual, important, Spurs. Mad how many contenders there are for 4th place in this list, mind. So many class days and nights following this fucking diamond's NUFC.

Joelinton7 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Nov ‘21 - Norwich City (H) Draw 1-1 - Eddie plays Joelinton in MF for the first time due to Ciaran Clark’s red card and with that a beast was born. Dec ‘21 - Burnley (H) Won 1-0 - Eddie’s first win as Newcastle United manager Jan ‘22 - Leeds United (A) Won 1-0 - The start of our revival and battle to stay up April ‘22 - Leicester City (H) Won 2-1 - Last min winner from Bruno means Eddie has achieved mission 1, staying up. May ‘22 - Arsenal (H) Won 2-0 - For the first time we went toe to toe with one of the big boys under Eddie and won. The bear pit like SJP feeding off the energy and passion of the players (and visa-versa) here is what Eddie’s NUFC has become known for. August ‘22 - Manchester City (H) Drew 3-3 - Another marker, another flagpole planted to say “we are here to compete”. Another sign of our increasing ability to bloody the noses of the “elite”. 3-1 up at one point, the “new” Newcastle United had the champions on the ropes. We were closing the gap. February ‘23 - Manchester United (N) Lost 2-0 - Another defeat in a cup final. We played the occasion and not the team in front of us. We vowed that we’d be back one day. April ‘23 - Tottenham Hotspur (H) Won 6-1 - We just absolutely mullered them. Never has there been such an efficient demolition of a Premier League football club. The game was billed as a Champions League six pointer but we had it won within 15 minutes. May ‘23 - Leicester City (H) 0-0 - Mission 2 complete; qualify for the Champions League September ‘23 - Sheffield United (A) Won 8-0 - We won eight-nil. Must be something about the city of Sheffield. Insane score line in a PL game no matter how bad Sheff U were. The last two seasons were starting to show that if you caught us on a bad day then we had the quality, tactics and desire to steamroll you. September ‘23 - AC Milan (A) 0-0. Back in the Champions League and a point at the San Siro. Unreal. October ‘23 - Paris Saint-Germain (H) Won 4-1 - Who the fuck is Kylian Mbappe? Eddie’s tactics were spot on. With PSG setting up in 4-2-4 formation we took full advantage. Nights like this. This is what they meant when they said “imagine what it’ll be like if this place finally takes off”. November ‘23 - Paris Saint-Germain (A) Draw 1-1. Winning until almost the last minute. PSG given a penalty for an accidental handball by Livramento. A handball which would only be given in Europe. We were robbed. ‘til we meet again monsieurs. November ‘23 - Manchester United (A) Won 3-0 - A win at Old Trafford doesn’t come with the same feeling or prestige of having vanquished a giant like it used to but still we turned up with a back four including Krafth, Dummett and Targett with Matt Ritchie also thrown in for good measure and absolutely trounced them. 70k turned out in expectancy only to be sent home with faces as red as their shirts by Eddie’s men. January ‘24 - Sunderland (A) Won 3-0 - The first NUFC manager to beat the mackems since Alan Pardew 13 years previous. Eddie’s side came and did a professional job on them. No fuss. No derby nerves. No caution or fear of losing. Just showed up and beat an average championship team without batting an eye. May ‘24 - Brentford (A) Won 4-2 - A win meant we qualified for Europe for the second season in a row until Man Utd’s FA Cup win snatched it away from us. This turned out to be a blessing as the reduced schedule meant we could more often field a full strength team the next season. November ‘24 - Nottingham Forest (A) Won 3-1 - A huge win in terms of chasing the CL and just in general as Forest have been an extremely hard team to beat this season December 2024 - Brentford (A) Lost 4-2 - Players have spoken about how harsh words were needed after this defeat. It’s clear the players weren’t putting in the required effort every week and something needed to change. 14th Dec ‘24 - 5th Jan ‘25 - The players stand up and are counted yet again, proving they have full faith in Eddie Howe with them going on a 9 match winning run. February ‘25 - Nottingham Forest (H) Won 4-3. A massive win in the race for CL football. A loss would have been a big nail in our coffin but Eddie pulls it out of the bag again. His teams always show up in the big games. The League Cup - Eddie Howe wins Newcastle United their first domestic trophy in 56 years, beating champions elect Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.

Chicken Dancer Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Arsenal away in the semi this season. Was the first time he/we went away to a big boy and proper done them. I actually enjoyed Man Utd at home in 22/23 more than most games. Late Sunday, 2-0 but felt like a proper hiding. Had so many class games at home under him to be fair, but I love that one.

Cf Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Something I've been meaning to ask... That dressing room looked to be decorated in NUFC colours. Is that just the default colour scheme or do they modify it to suit who's in there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'll readily put up that I was of those doubting over the last few months if he was ultimately the man to take the next step - he didn't have the 'trophies in the bank' as proof. That doubt is gone - he out-tic-tacked Slot and Liverpool. I love that he laid out our opener by instructing corners to be hit deep to counter Liverpool's zonal marking. You don't win major finals against the best there is if you're not capable of competing with the elite. Howe proved what he is last weekend - no further questions from me, your honour. I believe he'll win other tin pots for us - but even if he doesn't, I'll be the first to chip in towards an Eddie Howe statue outside the ground when he eventually goes (if crowdfunding is needed). I'm not even sure how it is possible to show appreciation for someone who has delivered the only thing you've dreamed of since you were six and only got to see in your forties?

ponsaelius Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Spot on - he's overcame that doubt for me too. Plus we smacked a full strength Arsenal 4-0 over two legs as well - and showed huge tactically flexibility to achieve that. This cup win should give him pretty much unlimited credit in the bank going into the next couple of years to get the next step right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 He's also shown again that he's excellent at being able to reverse negative momentum too. At the start of the season we looked out of sorts and players were said to be disgruntled about the PSR fire sale. There were question marks over his relationship with the club executives and for the first time it looked like "the project" might be stalling. Fast forward six months we've won a trophy and despite some inconsistency, we're still right in the thick of it for a Champions League spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 have heard a few of people comment on how he 'out-tacticed' Slot which I think is accurate nice to see him getting the that kind of credit - has done similar against Ange, Arteta and Emery to name a few Liverpool didn't know what hit them with those deep corners towards Burn, almost led to a Bruno goal before Burn scored, love how he saved that for this game the way we isolated Salah and attacked them down their right was also brilliant and playing over their press to win second balls worked a treat totally dominated them - like nobody saw this coming so absolutely brilliant from Howe!
