It's always nice to hear the fans being complimented, particularly when there are others accusing us of bootlicking or whatever, but some of the stuff Jake was saying was very cringe. I dunno where he was getting half of it from. That stuff about fans understanding the responsibility of being at SJP and passing that responsibility down to future generations [pensive stare into the middle distance] and WHEN, KIERAN, DID YOU FIRST REALISE THE POWER OF THE FANS!? :lol: I was like, howay dial it back a bit, JakEboi.

 

Don't see owt wrong with the other fella though, and I've no real beef with Humphries tbh. It's all terribly terribly earnest but I find some of the questions quite interesting and atypical. Most footballer interviews are enough to put you to sleep so I've definitely got time for the deeper stuff, even if I'm taking their 'lessons' with a pinch of salt. 

His cohost has written several good books on culture in sport.

I quite like Jake. His big up of Newcastle is fine by me.

Let's face it we've had enough people over time slagging the club off for the right and the very wrong reasons and the same with the fans for the right and the wrong reasons.

 

But the reality is Newcastle United seem to be a fascination for the neutral for the good the bad and the ugly reasoning.

Turns 33 fairly early into next season. Hope he's got the legs of Cafu to be a regular for us for the next 2-3 seasons.

 

Cafu's 52 now, probably better he had the legs of someone younger tbh.

It's LinkedIn Premium Account with a dash of Mens Mental Health™. I enjoyed the Eddie Howe episode cos Eddie is Eddie but it left me never wanting to listen to another second of the podcast.

 

 

 

The one with Rio is awful.

 

And I like Rio and Jake. But it takes itself too seriously.

I really enjoyed the podcast- Trippier comes across as such a nice, good, humble guy. I found the humble part refreshing, I don't really expect that with these types of players these days e.g. "I never imagined I'd be playing in a CL final" -  I'd expect more "I always knew I could play in a CL final".

 

The leadership group thing was very interesting, had never heard that before. And Simeone sounds even more mental than I thought, the 'we're going to be champions' greeting :lol:

 

Loves Dyche, could see him when he drops off in quality with age potentially dropping to wherever Dyche is then. Tho hope he ends his career with us.

 

Also our negotiators rinsed him knowing he wants to move back, how've we managed to get him to accept lower wages than Atletico

Listened to the podcast and thought it was alright to be honest

 

His mindset of wanting to move to Spain and challenge himself mentally was really interesting I thought as most players would rather stay where they are comfortable

 

He gave huge credit to our players who were here before the takeover and continue to be a big part of the squad

Comes across as a good bloke and someone who has respect because of his attitude.


Always thought he was intelligent but listening to the podcast I now think it’s all a bit superficial. Every time he was pressed for more detail he struggled to give it and kept repeating himself.

probably just didn’t want to open up as much as the hosts wanted him to; probably a bit more guarded tbh

Well, I think by his own admission he's not exactly an intellectual. I don't think he tries to pretend to be anything he isn't. I think the thing that sets him apart is that he's actually learned from his life experiences, unlike many.

 

But I do suspect his management style would be pretty PFM-esque......
