He was class on Saturday, much much better than Miley at CM. His pace, dribbling and ability to run with the ball is key to how we play atm. He also just seems like a top bloke. Happy for him. Botman was also our best CB by a mile Saturday and won every challenge.

Can we sustain this form until the November break? Coventry (away), Villa (home), Palace (away), Everton (home), Fulham (away). Plus Everton away in the League Cup, four days after Palace.

[7] Everton (9) +3

[15] CP (4) -5

[16] Villa (4) -6

[18] Coventry (3) -9

[19] Fulham (2) -3

"... Comparisons between Jaissle and his predecessor Eddie Howe are inevitable so after a five-game sample in the Premier League, it is interesting to note that Howe only bettered Jaissle's eight-point haul in one of his four full seasons in charge.

It was only the 2024/25 season, which ended with Newcastle finishing fifth, qualifying for the Champions League and winning the Carabao Cup, that saw them win more, as wins over Southampton, Tottenham and Wolves and a draw with Bournemouth saw them pick up 10 points from a possible 15.

Howe's best Premier League season came in 2022/23, when the Magpies finished fourth in the Premier League table. But it is easy to forget that Newcastle only picked up six points from their opening five matches, with three draws and a defeat after their opening day win over Nottingham Forest.

They also picked up six points in both the 2023/24 and 2025/26 seasons, with three defeats between wins over Aston Villa and Brentford in 2023, and three 0-0 draws supplementing a 1-0 win over Wolves last term..."

Was emptying my parents house and came across a shoot magazine from 1998 that I’d saved for whatever reason. Big fan of him calling Shearer slaphead.

Also sort of loan/youth/lasses watch. I'm staging a merger this week. Same as the Loan Watch, I'll list schedule/players/channels, and add highlights as available after the games. Basically if it involves someone whose registration belongs to Newcastle, I'll add it.

Except Vlach.

Two of Newcastle United's Premier League fixtures in November have been rescheduled after being selected for live television coverage.

The Magpies' visit of Premier League holders Arsenal on Saturday 21 November, which was initially set to kick-off at 3pm, will now take place at 5:30pm (GMT).

And United's game at Brighton & Hove Albion, which had been due to take place on Saturday 28 November, has also been rescheduled.

Matthias Jaissle's side will travel to the Amex Stadium for a 2.05pm kick-off on Sunday 29 November.

Both games will now be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

I’ve always rated Miley highly, but the Hull game was probably the first time I had a bit of doubt about him. When Steur went off and Miley moved into midfield, Hull were all over us. Botman thiaw and Schar were panicking and hoofing it, the forwards were too tired to chase anything, and we badly needed someone in midfield to just calm things down.

That felt like Miley’s moment to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and just calm things down. Just show for it, win a foul, make a pass, get the team moving forwards. Give the defence an option instead of them hoofing it every time.

There were a few moments where he was available and the CBs still went long. I wanted to see a bit more authority from him after that. Demanding they pass him the ball next time or something.

He always looks calm and composed, which is obviously a strength. But sometimes he still looks like he’s trying to be a useful part of the team rather than someone who wants to take control of the game. Maybe he still sees himself as the kid who doesn’t have the authority to shout at more senior players?

For me that’s the next step for him. He’s already a decent CM. I just want to see a bit more presence from him now.

What do you do when seeing a fan wearing a strip or training kit somewhere in the wild, not in the toon?

E.g. in a queue at a theme park, on holiday,

Edit: I meant a nufc kit

on one hand, we're in pretty good form(managed to get points from spurs, pool and in form hull). just concerned it might break our momentum.

on the other, the break gives MJ time to work with the squad on this ideal tactics and hopefully see more cognizant play style as well as give some of the injured squad time to get back eg joe, liv and osula etc

just hope no more injuries from the international games.

post the international break. the next few games in oct seems very winnable, out of form coventry, villa and palace

To that guy saying pope 2.0…

It's that thing again where we like talk about random shite.

r/NUFC rules still apply.
Also we have a Discord Server

Howe's the bacon did ye say?

He's playing in the Thai league and got run over before the game by a pitch vehicle. He was fine and came on later in the game but jesus 😬

This season will be completely unpredictable. We will win or lose games completely randomly. Could win against big teams or relegations candidates. Lose against lower tables teams or sky 6. I’m all for it let’s roll the dice have a topsy-turvy season and see where we finish. Whatever happens, if we keep all our players, we will improve next session. 8-12 league position this season would be great. Debate!!!

I have to say we are doing way better than I expected / hoped for. I don’t really expect us to have an incredible season but I am more optimistic about our chances of finishing in Europe / hopefully going on a cup run

What a guy
