Great interview in every respect. Nice to hear interviewers give the interviewee time to speak and articulate thoughts rather than setting them up for one line, rent a quote, responses too

It's also refreshing to see the interviewee afford the same courtesy.

Carragher was literally saying he wanted to join in with Blaydon Races pre-game. Tends to have a lot of good things to say about us.

 

He looked buzzing at FT just looking round the stadium.

Watched with a colleague who doesn’t watch football and he’s now hooked. He is completely on board now and it was just the random bits of our play. But mostly Howe in the nbc interview.

I had to listen to 5 live tonight, even Chris Waddle wants to find positives around NUFC now. Funny how things change!

Clearly he doesn't yet have the achievements but Howe joins the likes of Keegan, Robson and Benitez in that when they speak about football, you just want to stop and listen because you just know it'll be worth listening to.

 

Just talks so well and no matter how things turn out I can't imagine ever screaming at the TV in frustration like I did whenever Pardew, Bruce and Carver ever stood in front of the cameras.

Pal was a subscriber to the Times so got us tickets to their talk-in at the Tyneside Cinema with Caulkin and Rafa etc. 

I could listen to that bloke (Rafa) for ever. A gentleman, scholar and so eloquent. 

Eddie's the same. Every word considered. 

Bruce, like Carver, is just Mongo from Blazing Saddles

I know this has been mentioned before but late in the second half Schar went down after we won a free kick physio ran on but didn't go anywhere near Schar rans to the guys in the middle and gave them a load of instruction and then back off. As it was a gk Schar didn't have to go off either. Shows they are on the ball the full game and aren't just waiting to see how it goes.

It’s great that the likes of Dummett, Ritchie & Gayle are no more than token benchfillers now too. We’re going to keep movin’ on up for a few years.

It's great that they still contribute to the overall mood, too. They all must be aware that their time at the club is over, but Howe has instilled in all of them the very ting that Wood commented on. They're all desperate to take the club to the next level, even though they know they probably won't be part of it.

Schar has done that absolutely loads, seems to get the physio on every game. Be amazed if it’s not drilled.

There was a very discernible change in shape towards the end as well. Wood moved to the left-wing and was even playing close to our own penalty area at one point. Don't know if that was tactical to just get ASM out of harm's way, or brought on through a fitness issue somewhere.

everyone one of them will be welcome back at the club in the future as a supporter, opposition player, pundit etc whereas six months ago they were definitely not welcomed.

 

amazing turnaround and their attitude has to be applauded, both the likes of Shelvey who have stepped up and the likes of Gayle who have helped the group dynamic
