The fact the first signs of “Eddie Out” are appearing is poor — and a sad indictment of modern fan culture 🗣

Yes, he and the team are struggling. But he has plenty of time ⏳️ & credit 💳 in the bank to turn it around.

I’ll be publishing an article 📰 later this week emphasising the reasons why. #NUFC

FT: #BFC 3–1 #NUFC
▪️Abysmal second-half showing
▫️The 2️⃣ furthest forward in midfield aren't influencing or changing games
▫️Big Nick 🇩🇪 won't stay high and keep defences honest
▪️Opposing CBs have too much time ⏳️ on the ball
▫️Can't let Howe off the hook 🪝
▪️Multiple warnings ⚠️ before the subs

The lads are back in West London 💨 at the Gtech — a ground that, until last season, had been a happy hunting ground for #NUFC

My predicted starting XI:
▪️ 2️⃣ changes from the Bilbao encounter
▫️ Ramsey & Barnes in 🔄
▪️A big performance needed 🙏🏻
▫️I may end up listening 📻 from behind the sofa 🤣

#NUFC Appreciation Post ⚫️⚪️

When I think of Eddie Howe, I feel a regular sense of pride, admiration, and hope.

The last 4️⃣ years have seen:
▪️ #EPL survival ⛑️
▫️ A top-4 finish
▪️ 2️⃣ #UCL qualifications 🌍
▫️ 2️⃣ Wembley appearances 🏟
▪️ 1️⃣ League Cup success 🏆

What a ride it’s been 🎢 — long may it continue

Over a glass of red 🍷 I found myself pondering a big question:

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 & 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥y 𝐟𝐢𝐭?

Here’s a possible solution:
▪️Hall & Tino should play
▫️BDB feels undroppable
▪️Midfield 3️⃣ remains intact
▫️Big Nick given support up front

Tell me your thoughts? #NUFC

▪️What refreshing honesty & candour from Sandro 🇮🇹
▫️A fair reflection on his present & future at #NUFC
▪️Football is a business 🤝🏻
▫️The stars ⭐️ of today are key cogs ⚙️ in where the club stands tomorrow
▪️Whatever his future 🔮 holds, we should treasure #Tonali — and remind him how highly he’s regarded 💜
✍️ Really open and honest Sandro Tonali interview...

⚫️ Why he can't make promises on #NUFC future
⚪️ The Isak lesson he learned in the summer
⚫️ Background to his contract renegotiation
⚪️ How he's become a 'different person' since betting ban

Woke up this morning and have to say… I’m confused 🤯 by some #NUFC match reviews.
▪️ Did I watch a different game❓️
▫️ BDB’s header glossed over a drab display
▪️ First 30 minutes were poor & set the tone
▫️ Illnesses 🤒 a mitigating factor
▪️ The result was enough
▫️ Atmosphere reflective of #UCL format
November 6, 2025 at 7:39 AM
FT: #NUFC 2–0 Athletic
▪️ A decisive opening 1️⃣5️⃣ minutes of the second half
▫️ An improved showing from J7 🇧🇷 capped with a goal ⚽️
▪️ Bilbao refused to wilt under the deficit
▫️ The visitors ended the better footballing side
▪️ Not the bounce-back performance hoped for
▫️ The result was good enough 👍🏻
ANOTHER BIG WIN IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! 👊
November 5, 2025 at 10:03 PM
HT: #NUFC 1–0 Athletic
▪️ An unrecognisable performance at home 🤕
▫️ BDB’s header one of few positives
▪️ Sluggish 🐌 and sloppy first 30 minutes
▫️ Bilbao showing far more conviction in their press
▪️ Fortunate that the visitors are missing key attackers 🤕
▫️ Big Nick 🇩🇪 needs to stay higher up the pitch
We lead at the break courtesy of Dan Burn's wonderful header 🙌
November 5, 2025 at 8:53 PM
Looking forward to dropping into The Dolphin 🐬 in King’s Cross for tonight’s game! #NUFC

My predicted starting XI vs #AthleticBilbao 👇🏻
▪️ Trippier 2️⃣ returns
▫️ Pope 🧤 keeps his place
▪️ Miley & Ramsey 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 start
▫️ Bruno & Joelinton 🇧🇷 rested
▪️ Are #UCL matches being devalued by the new format❓️
November 5, 2025 at 7:37 AM
48 hours after Sunday’s disappointing #NUFC result:
▪️The performance sounded just as poor on the radio 📻
▫️Previously felt 9️⃣ points were needed after Brighton
▪️Expectations away from home now so low ⚠️
▫️The form has an air of 2003–04 💭
▪️No doubt the lads will respond under the lights 🏟
November 4, 2025 at 8:24 PM
> FT: #NUFC 2–0 #THFC
▪️ The first 2️⃣0️⃣ minutes dictated the outcome
▫️ A positive, industrious display from Howe’s men
▪️ Spurs should look inward 🪞 over the opener
▫️ Sandro 🇮🇹 head & shoulders above his opponents 🌟
▪️ Thiaw & Willock with strong 💪🏻 performances
▫️ The Mags ⚫️⚪️ march on

Despite popular opinion 💬, the form book 📖 goes out the window 🪟 on the road back to Wembley 🏟️

Here’s my predicted #NUFC starting XI vs #THFC 👇🏻
▪️ 5–6 changes 🔄 from the weekend
▫️ Ramsdale, Krafth, Schär & Barnes get a chance to impress
▪️ Tonali returns to anchor ⚓️ the midfield

FT: #NUFC 2-1 #FFC

▪️Bright start ☀️ to match
▫️Defensive error led to solo Murphy strike ⚽️
▪️Warning signs ⚠️ were there in the first half
▫️Took Fulham equaliser to up intensity & urgency 🔥
▪️Sub Osula 🇩🇰 crucial to the winner with pace & directness

Assessment from radio 📻 commentary:
▪️Bright start ☀️ to the match
▫️Opportunities for multiple goals ⚽️
▪️Hit the woodwork twice 🪵
▫️Should be out of sight 🔭
▪️Sloppy mistakes leading to Fulham chances
▫️Match, somehow, still in the balance ⚖️

#NEWFUL

Having been at this fixture last season, #FFC were no pushovers — nothing but respect should be afforded 👏🏻

My predicted #NUFC XI for this afternoon:
▪️ Winning builds momentum
▫️A fresh Tonali 🇮🇹 returns
▪️Otherwise unchanged
▫️Ramsey 4️⃣1️⃣ keeps his place
▪️Expect some significant minute management ⌚️
October 25, 2025 at 5:59 AM
Until on-pitch success 🏆 and revenue 📊 hit elite levels, our current stars remain part of the evolution towards becoming a true “super-club.”

While today’s news 🗞 is positive, we should enjoy watching Sandro 🇮🇹 in black & white ⚫️⚪️ while we can.

#NUFC aren’t the end game for Europe’s elite — yet.
Sandro Tonali has another three full seasons to run on his contract, plus Newcastle hold the option of extending it by a further year, due to a secret deal handed to the midfielder during his 10-month suspension for gambling offences.

✍️ @chrisdhwaugh.bsky.social and @georgecaulkin.bsky.social
Sandro Tonali signed secret Newcastle contract extension after gambling ban
The Italian's Newcastle terms actually run until 2030, rather than the publicly reported 2028.

HT: #NUFC 1-0 #Benfica
▪️ New-look midfield 3️⃣ impressing so far
▫️ Big Nick 🇩🇪 isolated vs. back five 🧱
▪️ Lukebakio looks dangerous ⚠️
▫️ Trippier looks off with passing & decisions 😬
▪️ Set-pieces look promising
▫️ Patience & crowd needed to see it through 🙌🏻

Predicted #NUFC starting XI tonight:

▫️By all accounts, Tonali 🇮🇹 rested
▪️Ramsey could play in the 10 role❓️
▫️Brazilian boys moved deeper to negate Sudakov ⚠️

#NEWBEN #UCL
October 21, 2025 at 5:46 PM
After letting Saturday’s result marinate 🤔 & rewatching the full 9️⃣0️⃣ 📽
▪️ Tired midfield 3️⃣ — unavoidable mistake 😪
▫️ Ramsey deserves an extended run 🙏🏻
▪️ Opponents know the plan down the left 💡
▫️ Murphy can’t carry the load while nursing his Achilles 🩼

#BRINEW #NUFC
Defeat on the south coast. ⏱️
October 20, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Return to action this afternoon, and no stiffer test than renowned bogey team #BHAFC

Hard to believe we’ve not won in the #EPL on the South-East coast.

Here's my predicted #NUFC XI 👇🏻
▪️ Back 5️⃣ unchanged
▫️ J7 🇧🇷 rested for Benfica
▫️ Murphy picked ahead of Elanga

A welcome #NUFC appointment 🤝🏻 after the off-pitch upheaval over the past 18 months.

Eddie’s success thus far has earned him the right to shape & lead the club forward, and bringing in a DOF he trusts is fantastic news 📰
