AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I cried at his interview Not just because of Howe of course, more because of what this moment means for the club after so much shit for so long. Just absolutely gets it, says the right thing and shows great insight every time - both into tactical aspects of the game and also the special nature of Newcastle. It’s really difficult to talk about Newcastle fans, the mythical connection between club and city, without sounding a bit silly or cheesy. But he gets it absolutely spot on. And he’s never going to let the players drop their effort for a day. On the flip side, it’s not just Roy Keane style macho bollocks, it’s going to be accompanied with incredible detail in preparation and a lot of room for players to express themselves. Bodes very well for the future. Edited May 17, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 He just nails it every time. I'm hoping we go on and win the lot but we can be sure he will give his all to get us there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did feel unfair he didnt get given a shot immediately after but he has used his time away to develop which is what a lot of british coaches fail to do. I think kinda we were suited to this, as grim as the bruce years were we have never had a 'toxic' dressing room really (the toxicity all came from Bruce more than anything) the players were dragging us over the line frequently but there was no plan and under bruce they were bascally given half the days off and do fuck all when meant to be training. The camaraderie has got better but it was there before there are lot of good characters in dressing room ready for Howe's approach I agree with all this. Only read this thread this morning - just found out about the nominations. Genuinely surprised that Conte wasn’t nominated, particularly given the discussions in here.

I love the man and trust me, we are going all out in the summer, the new owners wanted someone to win things and will back Howe all the way, as their choice!

54 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Ridiculously, given the fact that they won just one of their first 11 home games, United reached 30 points at SJP for the first PL season since 2011/12: 2011/12 38 points from 19 matches 2012/13 28 points from 19 matches 2013/14 27 points from 19 matches 2014/15 26 points from 19 matches 2015/16 28 points from 19 matches 2017/18 28 points from 19 matches 2018/19 25 points from 19 matches 2019/20 26 points from 19 matches 2020/21 23 points from 19 matches 2021/22 30 points from 19 matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noise would’ve been deafening. I think it will help build a siege mentality long term. As a club we only have 1 vocal supporter in the media. I can see that Jenas playing up his affiliation with the club the more successful we are. The prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I still remember that first training video the club released when he first got here, and hearing this quote: "Alot of people are stood still, being stood still is no good, you have to create the space" That was considered such a big deal, mental how far we've come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Aye, don't get that TG hate. Been sound ever since he started the podcasts ~6 years ago. Lawrence can seem a bit smug/annoying but the others I don't necessarily mind. James Allcott is also probably the best football person on YouTube these days.
