Here is Eddie Howe’s first interview from the Dubai training camp.

The lads will return home today and the manager gave the lads a few day rest, after jetting off to Dubai last Friday night after our great 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest.

Next week the lads will be preparing for our home game a week come Sunday – which has a 4:30 pm kick-off against 3rd placed Manchester United.

	Club	Matches	Goal Diff.	Points
1	Man City	38	61	89
2	Arsenal	38	45	84
3	Man United	38	15	75
4	Newcastle	38	35	71
5	Liverpool	38	28	67
6	Brighton	38	19	62
7	Aston Villa	38	5	61
8	Tottenham	38	7	60
9	Brentford	38	12	59
10	Fulham	38	2	52

A win in that game would put us above the Reds on 50 points from our 27 games so far – one point more than we got for all of last season.

Comments welcome.

Novo – 100% I think most football fans don’t understand the complexities of building a football team! That’s a really easy statement to make! It’s like saying that I understand the basics of physics that allows a plane to take off when it hits a certain speed but I definitely do not understand the complexities of flight!
Picking a goalkeeper, 3/4/5 defenders etc is what I would call the basics of picking a football team…not the complexities.
And nowhere did I say you shouldn’t have an opinion, I’m just stating mine. I find it tiresome this modern way of disagreeing with someone by insinuating that somehow the other person is denying your right to comment.

Raj: tbh I don’t know. Not Gerard or Lampard or any of the previous appointees for sure. Maybe Potter if he becomes available. Eddie would probably be best but I want him to stay with Newcastle until the build is completed.

I have an update on what's happening with my treatment for prostate cancer.

I started my chemo treatment at the end of March, and yesterday I had my 3rd chemo infusion, as probabaly a final treatment for my stage 4 prostate cancer.

The plan is to have 10 treatments, one every 3 weeks through the end of October, and see if some of the prostate cancer cells in the bones can be killed off and the spread of the cancer can be slowed down.

We will see come October, but so far so good.

And I learned last Tuesday, via an endoscopy, that my esophagus that was badly damaged by my failed radium 223 treatment I went through late last year and early this year is healing nicely.

Many thanks for all your support on this through the years.

It is as it is - and (yet) another challenge in life.
