@PeteGravesTV I’ve been a huge Eddie Howe fan - but evolution of the team has completely stalled - if you regard our rivals as the current top 6 which I think we would all do then Eddie is not getting a job at one of those clubs - that’s just as it is.

One final thought. And listen, I appreciate all the replies. Helps me gauge online fan opinion. If the "Eddie out" crew get their wish. Do you think he'd struggle to find another job? Or quickly pop up at one of our rivals? He's the best English manager by a mile.

@psmithXI I’ve just read your nufc piece on the importance of the derby - curiously, why do you make literally no mention to the upside of an Nufc win - literally zero mention - the entire piece focuses on the implication of a defeat??? Journalist? Really?? 🤔🤦‍♂️⚫️⚪️

Newcastle United won 6-1 last night Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I think posting that after the game (our biggest Champions League win ever btw) was laughable from The True Geordie #NUFC

@timjsmith_uk @MsiDouglas I love Trippier and what he’s done for the Club but he got this all wrong - he absolutely doesn’t get to change the pen taker and then create an embarrassing scene when we’re 5 nil up.

Nah, I'm fully with Anthony Gordon there. He's the penalty taker (an absolutely brilliant one), he gets judged on goals, fully entitled to take it. I'd be disappointed if he stepped aside tbh

@mcfcman66 You know how stupid this sounds Lee - you invoked a contract clause - and have then undoubtedly stalled the lads career in its tracks - it’s f’n shameless from Pep. Nobody thinks he’s better than D but you’ve completely mugged him off. Loyalty eh 😉😉⚫️⚪️

@JacquiOatley That is just a ridiculous post to be fair - managers and players get absolutely slaughtered for mistakes particularly on this platform - I’m sure you see that - the refereeing in the Villa match was arguably the worst ever, please tell it how it is!!!

Interesting that players are allowed to make human errors, managers are allowed to make human errors, but match officials are absolutely not allowed to make human errors.

@CTAMagpie If you cannot see the absolute obvious difference in the effect of the press from Gordon in that position then you’re watching on the radio, I’d question his finishing agreed but the effective press brings so much. If Wissa can adopt that philosophy then he should start.

I totally disagree with that. Yes, we won yesterday. Yes, it was a good performance from most of the team. But let’s not kid ourselves. Gordon didn’t have a good game at centre forward. He kept drifting wide right and wasn’t occupying the central areas the way a proper number nine should. We put plenty of crosses into the box with no real outcome. A natural striker like Woltemade thrives on that service. A win is great, but it shouldn’t cloud analysis. #NUFC
NUFC Talk Radio@NUFCTalkRadio

🚨Howe on Gordon as striker - "Anthony's legs, his desire to press, makes the team play better. It had a really fluid look to it. We wanted to play with a fluid frontline. We wanted to press aggressively. You need quick & mobile players (to do that)." #NUFC Some fans think Howe has thrown Woltemade and Wissa under the bus with these comments, thoughts?

@AlexMUFC18 By that logic you'd expect a far greater % of their goals to come from set-pieces?!

% of League goals scored from set-pieces (including penalties) in 25/26 Crystal Palace: 54% Newcastle: 49% Leeds: 44% Chelsea: 40% Arsenal + Wolves: 38% And yet, it's only Arsenal who get brandished as a "set-piece team" 🤔

@TaylorandPayne What a bizarre post mid match from someone that’s got this platform going on - encourages pile on as evidenced, watch the 90 minutes - you’d think you’d have a bit more about you ?? 🤷‍♂️⚫️⚪️

@CharIieBennett PIF - 50% - missing top level structure took too long to sort. Too many soundbites. Eddie - 25% - he's trying his best but refusal to sell players past their best is harming now plus reactive changes. Players - 25% - some only want CL but aren't playing anywhere near that level

@MagpieMediaX wtf are you talking about - you put a kid into this spell and he struggles and he may never recover - EH is without doubt struggling - suggesting he’s throwing Tripps under a bus is a is an absolute belter!

Kieran Trippier does not deserve this. He has been completely and utterly hung out to dry this week by a manager who consistently refuses to give opportunities to talented young players. Leo Shahar has captained England all throughout the age groups. It’s time to protect Trips…

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump His PS spoke about it in the briefing and tried to justify it - of course he knew about - I find it difficult to believe you don’t know that actually Piersy.

I sincerely hope President @realDonaldTrump didn’t realise this 60-second clip he reposted last night didn’t end with the vile racist imagery of the Obamas as apes. He should delete it immediately.

@MsiDouglas @NE1Geordies @King_Kevs_Rant I’m not interested in a pile on but there will be justified frustration that there’s no reporting on ‘why’ or what changed - I’m fairly certain you’ll recognise that , that’s a huge void in reporting.

The vast majority of #Howeout fans never wanted him, not 1 of them thought he would deliver what he has , if he goes this Summer which is beginning to feel more likely than not, they will all, every 1, say I told you so, and all be calling for next mgrs head at 1st opportunity.

@MichelleDewbs It must be Eutopia to live in a world where you make no mistakes and wake up every morning wondering who you can call out today. It was accidental, it’s not nice to see, as parents it hurts us but there was no malice anywhere. Who’s in the crosshairs tomorrow???

Hello, I think what you mean is: “We are truly sorry about the disgraceful way we treated a little girl on the pitch and we intend to make it right..”. I saw the footage & my heart broke for that little girl💔 That moment would have been immense for her, it would have meant everything. You couldn’t even be bothered to show her the most basic care. I imagine what should have been a moment never to forget, became a moment she was desperate to escape😔 You should be utterly ashamed of yourselves…

A massive thank you for your backing at Anfield tonight 🫶 Safe journey home 🖤🤍

@CraigHope_DM This is a typical @CraigHope_DM piece - I’m a huge #Howe fan but you cannat be having it both ways - his narrative has been nowhere near this until last night - he’s in danger of assuming the Benitez role. When there’s sign of division you can rely on Hope to fill his boots.

The MOST ANNOYING with some #nufc fans on here is they complain about Eddie Howe 24/7 and then as soon as you call them out they say something like “Pathetic, can’t we all just enjoy this win!” Just wait until we lose again, they’ll be out in force. They’re the very definition of fickle.
