THE Newcastle United FC thread

[Stout]

Well, that's that. Howe has really failed to keep the team's head right, hurting the league position. The team was prepared for the cup final game, but way not up to snuff because ownership failed Howe and the team in the winter window. Now they're pretty far out of the Champion's League spot, nowhere near secure enough in a Europa league spot, with a tired and thin squad and backwards momentum. This season could crash and burn really, really easily. So, basically life as usual for a Newcastle fan

They are having a Spursy season.

Ha, sounds about right

Big game tomorrow v Man City. Can really be the pace setter for the rest of the season--or the drubbing that will send the Mags into a tail spin. C'mon, Eddie, whip 'em into shape! Howe-way the lads!

Eddie Bruce? Some brutally bad selection decisions and a strange game plan of trying to hoof the long ball to Callum Wilson, of all players, just put a stake in the heart of Newcastle's chances from the get-go. Yes, they're worse than City and are nowhere near top class, but the manager put them in position to fail. He's done well this season, Howe, but he is getting really stupid sticking with certain players. Wilson over Isak is unforgivable. Burn still in at LB--and gifting Foden the opening for the opener--is awful, and IDGAF how much of a good character he is. If Howe doesn't wake the eff up and change his team, there's no chance of European soccer.

The CL is already gone, and now, with three losses on the bounce and a hideous 2023 unfolding, the season is in the balance.

If the Mags have any hope for Europe next season, they need to beat Wolves Sunday.

Yeah suddenly Liverpool have gotten within striking distance of the top 4 but they lost today to Bournemouth combined with spurs getting 3 points. This has been such a weird season. I feel like Newcastle are missing out on a good chance to make the top 4.

Ugly wins are better than no wins at all. And, with the results all almost going the right way, it was a very good weekend. Nice to have those games in hand over Spurs.

VAR did it's damndest to screw Newcastle over, but they were too good to be denied. Howe-way the lads!

Let's go Southampton, Leicester, and Everton!

Well spurs dropped 2 points today and conte finally spoke the truth afterwards.

Oh my, I'll have to look up what he said. Yeah, when they went up 3-1 I thought it was over.

At least Everton drew with Chelski

He basically blasted for spurs for what they are. Said what any fan would say. If Daniel levy is made of glass he will sack conte. I hope levy is gone soon. He’s the problem.
