  1. The cab rank rules apply it means people can’t refuse instruction. So if NDM is available he can’t refuse to act, there are workarounds.
  2. As Newcastle fans we have plenty of experience giving managers not suited to the job much more time than they deserve (usually because they shouldn't have been appointed in the first place). I can't help but think that this has left some scarring. Sir Bobby finished 11th in his first season (september appointment) and 11th in his second (first full season). It is not the position that is particularly important, but the improvement. Part of the issue at the moment is that it feels like a number of issues have been clear for a while that haven't improved. But if we had a full squad or fuller squad available how much would these issues have even appeared. Quite happy i've seen comfortably more positive signs from Howe than negatives. Don't think an informed decision can be made about whether he is the right man for the job until halfway through next season.
  3. It is also worth remembering that he is not experienced at the level we have been at (Upper Premier League European Competitors). He is gaining experience all the time. Do you think the players would have looked as relaxed against Sunderland away if they hadn't had the experience of the European campaign. The same benefits of experience will be found more covertly in Eddie. He has shown that he can have us competing against the very best, what is missing is consistency.
  4. He certainly seemed to develop his style when he came to us and throughout last season compared to how his Bournemouth team performed. Has he been dealt a bad hand this year, yes. Has he played that hand as effectively as possible, probably not. Biggest concern is injured players and his role in that. That needs sorting out more than anything.
  5. Those stats suggest 1 more at its height. Completely ignorant of game context too.
  6. You did not deserve to win by a lot more yesterday
  7. NETD is the epitome of bald men fighting over a comb.
  8. I meant not scoring the goal of the season on Saturday.
  9. This is not much of a stick to hit poor Miguel with.
  10. Could also power the club for years with the fume generated in the East Stand.
  11. Won the must win game on Friday
  12. Where did that fucking pass to Barnes come from
  13. Beating City in the FA Cup might be a big sliding doors moment.
