I don’t think we’ll ever know how lucky we are to have Eddie Howe as our manager. He supports and protects the players so well and it is so good to see him so jovial and happy in a press conference. As supporters of NUFC I think we need to remember that we can protect our manager too. If someone had told me 20 years ago that we’d be coming off the back of a season in the Champions League, and that the final few games of the season were a push for Europe and not a relegation scrap, I’d have snapped their hand off. Well done Eddie Howe… another stellar campaign!

As a long term supporter, Eddie Howe is Newcastle for me. such composure and down to earth idea of things, but still competetive and great leader for the team ❤️

[@iBunZz360]

My manager. Behind him all the way. The fact we are 2 points off 6th after getting to 2 Quarter finals and being 20 minutes away from qualifying out of the toughest group in the CL with all the injuries he's had to deal with aswell as the Tonali situation is so commendable. Never complained, never made excuses, just got on with it. So proud to have Eddie leading our club.

Always great to hear from Wor Eddie. Feeling pretty positive for the rest of the season, Howay the lads!

[@p1mmyt0w3ll]

I feel we have a very kind run in for the rest of the season. of course there will be points dropped again some of the teams at the bottom of the table who will be fighting for their life. But as after tomorrow we won't be playing any of the "big" clubs... Hopefully that will free up our play a little and take the pressure off us and allow us to play with more enjoyment and hopefully we will have an entertaining end to the season.

[@BumrASH]

Have to say as a spurs fan this guy is quality the way he presents

[@nidhoggr_nufc]

Big Joe signing a 4 year deal made my season. Love the bloke. Hopefully we can have him fit before the end of the season and he will help us get a few crucial points and tip the balance so we get Europe next year.

Aye, finally some good news plus the last 3 results cheered us up HTLs 🏴🏳

[@jimmyhillschin9987]

I always enjoy listening to Eddie Howe press conferences. He's like a valued friend that you get to spend time with once or twice a week. I also like the journalist 'Louise' here, who generally asks interesting questions, a bit left-field but always thoughtful. I don't know who she works for but I'm guessing she writes good stuff.

[@owlhouse53]

Louise Taylor writes for The Guardian.

[@ravicabral2522]

Her question was a good one today but often she is just trying to get a soundbite clickbait response - often related to some negative narratives about the club like medical treatment, gambling or the Saudi issue.. It is rumoured that she has Mackem sympathies, which may explain it.

[@jimmyhillschin9987]

"It is rumoured that", eh? Quite right that journalists should ask searching questions, not be mere cheerleaders. Newcastle United is not an absolutist state, thankfully, yet.

30 years a fan, never really cared for press conferences until Eddie!

[@Nienna1837]

Following 14 years of Mike Cashley tyranny, every toon manager henceforth should be compelled to give regular communication to the fanbase during the season. joelinton would be the David Silva of this club - the player that would stay for a long while during the reviving of the football club. Big Joe has the personality and skills required to push this club forward. Support him by finding or promoting similarly committed players around him. The injury situation needs to be looked at carefully and the manager should be willing to adapt his style of play/work if necessary. Do not be like Steve Bruce and be stuck in one way. Coach Becky Langley is doing a brilliant job with the women's team and is a model professional. Good luck to them this weekend and hope they clinch the title in front of the supporters.

[@Gitshsif]

I'd say he'd be more Vincent Kompany than David Silva, Kompany signed before the takeover at City. He was also signed as a midfielder and changed roles.

[@Willw83]

We wouldn’t be winning without Eddie especially with all the injuries we are still 2 points of sixth😮

Get a point against Tottenham at least hoping for a sneaky 2-1 or 1-0 haway the lads!

[@raf7305]

Next season we should sell Miguel Almiron and recall Yankuba Minteh. Possibly buy another right winger aswell. We also need to buy a striker (and maybe sell Callum Wilson), a classic number 10 with flair, a centre back, a left back and a goalkeeper. With all of this and our players who are unavailable at the moment returning next season we will definitely push for the top 4 places and hopefully finally win a trophy! If the FFP rules are relaxed then all of this should be done.

Am not owa confident tbh but due to the lack of first team players. And now we kna why willock wasn’t too good in the few games he’s been back, coz he’s still carrying an injury 😮

[@dailynufc8366]

can you not add the little tabs at the bottom of the YT videos? Injuries, match preview, other topics etc. Would improve the videos/make it easier to listen to the topics you want to listen too.

Where’s that whopper Craig Hope after saying big Joe played his last game? Knocks me sick that bloke. Convinced he’s a celeb

[@damienreilly4347]

I don't remember him saying he's played his last game, I watched his videos and he said that IF he doesn't sign a contract he'll be sold, which is hardly a difficult thing to figure out.

[@GryphLane]

I make it 13 players unavailable currently. I don't want to hear this bullshit "all teams get injuries" narrative - no team has ever had as many as this in one go. I'd be shocked if we get anything against Spurs all things considered, but I'm backing us all the way #HWTL

[@jrkkkkkk]

my god this injury crisis is scandalous. serious investigations into this in the summer badly needed

[@BVking509]

Investigations in the summer 😂😂😂, after every injury you do a review, why did this occur?, did we get it right? Could we have seen this earlier? How do we prevent reoccurrence? What do we change to prevent this? How good was the specialist? How many points did this injury cost us? Is this an increasing trend? What's the likelihood of reoccurrence? Does the recovery plan include anything specific for this injury? You don't wait till the end of the season to do reviews.

[@frankdux5693]

​@@BVking509either way it's fucked us and something is going on. This isn't just bad luck. And Eddie needs to take his fair share of blame.

[@jrkkkkkk]

@@BVking509 but that's whats happening

[@BVking509]

@@frankdux5693 Didn't say it was, however Burn hurting his back, Anderson hurting his back, Murphy pulling his arm out socket, are all freak injuries, it's the muscle injuries and the poor treatment of the medical team that needs reviewing, they keep seeing specialists until they hear what they want to hear. Isaks groin we didn't fix correctly, because of Wilson, that PSG game away he was injured after 20 minutes

[@mattprice3621]

You’d think.,. But in case ya missed it, they are doing an internal review. Was mentioned last week and will be conducted near the summer.

[@Steph-wq9it]

To the Doom Merchants 💀 Being supportive, mentally resilient, with Positive thinking is what the players need from fans & supporters (Note there is a difference) The question is ,PLASTIC FAN OR SUPPORTER? Do we want the players going out onto the pitch thinking they are beaten before a ball is even kicked?

[@AnthonyODOnnell-tt8gh]

Well said. There's too much negativity, which feeds, " ". I don't understand fans that go to a match, not for the atmosphere, & sit in silence ? Should have stayed at home, pure waste of a 🎫 . That somebody else wood go to, & bring the noise & get behind the team. ✨️positive vibes✨️, no more, no less

[@owlhouse53]

Sadly, some ‘fans’ enjoy being bitter purely for the attention. These tedious edgelords exist in all clubs. I see the same names regularly on here being whiny & sour. We should pity them.

[@ozzy6162]

If Joe Willock is repeatedly breaking down because of his Achilles how can a specialist describe his Achilles' rehab as positive? Hope he doesn't end up needing surgery like Sven. Great that Joe (linton) has signed up for the long term - we need his power in midfield. Must keep our best players but also improve the squad in every position. Got to back Eddie.

[@8lowsy-313]

sounds like another wafer thin squad for Saturday if Hall misses out and we're forced to risk Tino at LB, no Joe Willock on the bench either...

[@Antacid420]

23:36 you know what its been winding me up .4 or 5 matches ago i was hearing about the season been over . That kinda behaviour is way to entitled for me to bare

[@mattprice3621]

Like last season when we faced spurs at home at a similar time, this is a crucial game for Europe. Problem is we will struggle against spurs but no one wants to admit that bcos of pride. Clinging onto last season. That’s gone. Spurs added well, score goals and were always going to turn it around from end of last season. Whereas we went on a ridiculously ineffective American tour, played 3 premier league teams, knsckered ourselves in the heat, had youngsters on the bench and senior players dropped out and that’s still the case now. We didn’t get it right in pre season and it’s lasted all season. No one expected so many players to drop out this season but it seems to be reoccurring issues more than anything else. We’ve now lost willock and hall! So to sum up, although Eddie is happy etc and relaxed, it’s a cover up bcos he’s bricking it again. We have Anderson on the bench and if willock is out that leaves no 1!? Yet again! It’s even worse than last game.

[@damienreilly4347]

And who is he going to put on the bench? It's easy to point out the flaws when you have no solution yourself

[@ronanfitzpatrick2253]

2nd season in a row trying to compete in the top half of the table, trying to push for Europe, losing out to two teams in the latter stage of Champions League, having some form of domestic cup runs, a striker competing for the golden boot in Premier League, players getting regular international call ups, players getting in team of the week and month. Some change since the Mike Ashley days. Give it time folks, Rome wasnt built in a day.

[@methik38]

Basically he wanted to be top earner but I reckon he’s just shy of isak and bruno

[@tomace4898]

He was on £85k/week. Bruno is on £160k/week; Isak on £120k/week. Reckon Joelinton's new deal is for £120k/week.

what i always notice and see from germany is,that in these press conferences everybody lives in a dream world. because especially the non-professional gardener journalists have no clue what the situation is at newcastle. this is now real newcastle because if you want success and that means titles and trophies,but minimum CL,you have to achieve that with the MONEY. the most important fact in a world class football club as newcastle is MONEY. you can always have 90000 supporters in your stadium for example. if you do not have money and not a real strong manager with personality,authority and power,you are in the situation as now. newcastle plays and fights now for european conference league-what a disaster and shameful fact. after CL fight for this loser european competition. the season is a disaster at all.look last week fulham was soooooooooooooooooooooo stupid and unable to score.otherwise 3:0 after first half. against championship everton with this unbelievable league one mistake of this championship player dummett. the list is so long. these press conferences reminds me always of championship. for me eddie howe is finished at newcastle united.newcastle can not wait 10 years for a serious title or CL. look aston villa for example,a other big world class club.they have EMERY. emery would never ever allow non professional performances on the pitch. I WANT MOURINHO at NEWCASTLE UNITED,because he is the SPECIAL ONE,he is SIR BOBBY ROBSON. are we worse than TOTTENHAM?oh my god,never ever.and tottenham fights with villa for the 4th position. newcastle united has always fight for the 4th position,when they can not win a trophy. and the carabao cup is like the EC league-loser competition.
