Miguel Almiron has been named Premier League Player of the Month for October. The Paraguayan scored 6 goals last month as Newcastle soared up the table winning five of the month’s six matches.
It could only be him! ????

He started the month off with two goals in the 4-1 win at Fulham and ended it scoring in three straight. Almiron only didn’t find the back of the net in the 0-0 draw at Manchester United.
Miggy has kept his goal streak going with his strike at Southampton last weekend. He has bagged a goal in four straight league matches heading into tomorrow’s clash against Chelsea.
For the season, Almiron has already matched his best output with his 8 goals. In his first full campaign on Tyneside in 2019-20, Almiron scored a total of 8 goals; 4 in the league and 4 in the FA Cup.
Almiron said the following to NUFC TV after winning the award:
“I’m really, really happy at receiving this award. It’s lovely on a personal note and a very nice moment for me to win something like this as a player, but it’s all about the team.
“In order to get this award, I owe a lot. I’d like to thank all my teammates, the manager and also the fans as well because as you know, I’ve enjoyed their support and the confidence they’ve shown in me right from the start of my time here in Newcastle. It’s very much down to all those people for this award, and I’m grateful to all of them for it.”

Comment #4Decent draw for us last night, could of been worse, just ask Liverpool.
See off Bournemouth and we are in the quarters and anything could happen, like the Toon winning a domestic trophy for the first time in over half a century, which is ridiculous really.

Comment #6GUARDIAN – Howe shows patience needed for Potter
Chelsea arrive on Tyneside without a win in their last four league games and sitting seventh in the table, six points behind third-placed Newcastle. It means this has become much more than a mere beauty contest between two potential successors to Gareth Southgate as England manager. While Eddie Howe can reinforce Newcastle’s Champions League credentials, Graham Potter hopes to reassure anxious Chelsea fans. He may well succeed in doing so but, even if he doesn’t, Howe’s example underscores the importance of patience. It was a year ago last Tuesday that the former Bournemouth manager succeeded Steve Bruce at St James’ Park but Howe started slowly, so slowly indeed that by the time Newcastle visited Leeds on 22 January he had presided over only one win – . Like Howe, Potter wants to change Chelsea’s playing style but first he, too, needs to pass through a pain barrier. “If you want to do something properly you sometimes have to fail first,” said the former Brighton manager this week. As Brighton fans would doubtless tell their Chelsea counterparts, it will surely be worth it in the end. Just look at Howe and Newcastle. Back in January some impatient fans wanted him sacked.

Comment #11Last shift today then its 3 days off, and Sunday is always a special day.
Laying the wreath for the club is always emotional for me, my old man, an ex DLI lad, did it for years before he passed away, and now i follow in his footsteps all suited and booted.
Took the Monday off , got to be done, a couple of gallons of ale is on the menu after the service, it`s written in stone.

Comment #16That Louise Taylor us a disgrace. To state that NUFC supporters wanted Howe sacked in January is absolute bull shit.
I have posted a reply on the Guardian’s chat.
She is poisonous.
“I see Louise Taylor is distorting facts again. Yesterday she claimed that Tony Mowbray’s Sunderland were improving. The have only won 3 of the last 10. Some improvement that. Now she is claiming that “some” Newcastle United supporters wanted Howe sacked. That is a baseless comment. I don’t know how many NUFC supporters Louise knows but I know plenty and meet even more I don’t know and not one was calling for Howe to be sacked.”

Comment #18I would have written “Back in January some impatient fans felt justified in thinking that Howe was not the right man for the job”
I should know because I was one of them. However I could see an improvement in fitness and organisation, so was hopeful. But Cambridge was a desperately low point.

Good for you in leaving a comment on Louise Taylor’s view of things Eddie.
I’ve raised concerns, complained to The Grauniad’s Sports Editor about its then less than favourable preoccupation with PIF’s involvement with NUFC only to pointed in the direction of some pieces in which they’ve commented about Saudi’s involvement with other clubs. I wasn’t aware of the availability of the paper’s online comments facility at the time, but am now.

Comment #35Might I point out you only need two people to say “i want Howe sacked” for the journalist to be factual when she said “some people wanted Howe to be sacked”
The attitude to take is say “fcuk you”in your head, because if you put it in print she’s succeeding in getting a rise out of you just like many bloggers on here.
