Here are some of Eddie Howe’s comments today in his press conference, and because it’s the final home game of the season against Brighton tomorrow afternoon (3:00pm KO) he has taken the opportunity to thank Newcastle fans for their support at St. James’ Park.
“We are competing for something; we are in the mix. We have three games in a massive week for us, it will go down to the wire. We back ourselves, we are in a good place.”
“We have loved playing at home this season, I have been really pleased with how we have performed at home.”
“We have a good feel, good energy and have been very aggressive in our play. We are thankful for the support we have received from the fans.”
“The crowd have embraced our style. It’s been a good partnership between the crowd and the players.”
“Kieran is getting closer; he has trained this week. It was the first time with the group.”
“He trained well, it has been a good week for him. I will make a decision today whether he will be involved tomorrow.”
I would be surprised if Trippier starts tomorrow, but he may come on in the second half to set him up for the crucial final 2 games of the season at Manchester United And Brentford.

Comment #206As if our club would do a chelsea. lol… NUFC luckily have the best savvy people in charge who are professionals and know their stuff. To even consider we could end up like chelsea just shows we have a right thick as mince cretin that posts absolute garbage on an hourly basis on here. There are 2 more 3 in total and we should all know by now who they are.
It’s amazing that we can finally have full trust in those making the big decisions at our club. They have good processes in place and I for one trust said processes as they’ve worked wonders thus far and I have no doubt they will going forward.
Thats me off, see some of you soon.

If you’re first into Shearers and WLToon is there , let him know I have a ticket with his name on if he still needs one ? Assuming he’d like to go ! Lo

Comment #216Football clubs are threatening are to take FIFA to court if they continue with their plans to have a 32 team world club championship at the end of next season.
Same “f**kers” wanting to extend the season for more money -with no rest for players.

Comment #233I’d like to raise a virtual jar
To all you boys in Shearer’s bar
I wish I could have been there with you
But my hopes were dashed when my parole fell through
For those who haven’t arrived there yet
You’ll be wondering how to find bloggers, I bet
So I’d now like to give you a bit of a clue
To help you decipher just who might be who….
Look around for a suave and handsome chap
Surrounded by ladies, with one on his lap
That’s gonna be Magic, so give him a shout
And he’ll be able to point some other lads out
And that black faced fella in a fawn jumpsuit
With a curly tail and his tackle oot
Must be Peter the Pug, well that’s my guess
Although it could well be Mund in fancy dress
At a table there’ll be a group of old duffers
And one of those oldies will no doubt be Tuffers
They’re the boys from the care home he now resides in
And that’s Sarah, his carer, who’s wiping his chin
And if you see a rotund fella who’s got nee hair
Although, no doubt, there’ll be plenty there
If he has a pie in each hand and one under his cap
That’ll be Fenners, who’s waiting to give Mort a slap
As I’ve received some rather worrying intel
That the blighter is planning to be there as well
Tho’ who could he be, you won’t have a clue
Is he that Fat Bastad stood next to you?!
Joking aside, I hope you have a great time
And I’m sure that you’ll all get along just fine
There should be plenty of laughs and not too much fightin’
As you’re watching the lads demolishing Brighton
HWTL!!
.
UPDATE:
This rhyme was written before I saw
That Mort’s anonymity is no more
Now that Coming Home’s been on his case
I very much doubt he’ll be showing his face!
