Two of my friends in my local got it from both barrels about 6 weeks ago. Yes they wanted Eddie Howe replaced. I've been biting my tongue but I have to say it, arseholes the lot of them and they are now hiding. 🤨 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Assumed he'd have manager of the month in the bag and then realised December is a long ol' month and includes that bloody Brentford result. Of course he'll be pipped by Nuno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Haven’t seen it mentioned, but Howe has turned it round during the Xmas / New Year period, which for NUFC is a historical achievement in itself, because we’re usually utter shite during that period. 01/02 still sticks in the memory (mainly for me because I was at Highbury and Elland Road for two epic matches), but this has to be right up there, and we are pretty much always shite during this period.

Can't remember many festive set of fixtures where I've been as happy with the outcomes as this year. It's been a Christmas cracker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same to the wife this morning. I said that we were normally as miserable as sin from Boxing Day onwards. This is a much better feeling.

Jonas Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Would have taken two draws in 01/02. Would have felt a win at either was a treat. To win both and smash Boro on boxing day. Think it was more appreciated as bonus than the Keegan years, like getting a second shot at life or something - very Its a Wonderful Life really. Was a white Christmas too snowed like mad the Leeds night at least. Eddie though, comes through these patches, proven it time and again - I believe in the bloke. Think that's a big thing with managers - trusting that they can turn things around, adapt etc. Be ideal but unrealistic if he/we didn't have them. Love the cut of his jib personally.

I thought this the other day. We are normally bollocks at Christmas. Sure we’ve lost more on Boxing Day than anyone else, gives me PTSD thinking back to going to Wigan away to see us lose 1-0 what felt like every Boxing Day when I was like 17/18ish.

Kanj Posted Wednesday at 00:26 Share Posted Wednesday at 00:26 People who randomly doubt him have every right when we had the bad run earlier as their rights as toon fans but very clear as day the grass is not always greener and we have a top elite football manager who’s likely spent every lasting moment since Monday prepping for Saturday and the cup semifinal.

Had to ditch the car and driver to get to the match.... he turned up 20mins after ko. My major boxing day memories are Grimsby 80/81. Not my first away but my first 'real' away. Local coach booked from our estate, me and my mate the youngest by 5 or 6 yrs. Think it was Mick Harfords debut. I still associate the smell of Mcewans Export with Boxing day. Fucking hell man......I was 13. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
