Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

Do some of you still think Eddie Howe is too good for us now? He did a great job keeping Bournemouth in the top flight for years. He went to Newcastle when they were in serious trouble, and he has pulled them comfortably out of danger.

Seriously the folk on here who were sneering at Eddie Howe, are a shower of total and utter muppets imo. If we hired him instead of Benitez, then we would at least be comfortably in mid table now.
 
Last time we met we were level on points.
How the tables have turned. Who would've thought sacking a manager wouldn't fix anything for us and would fix everything at Newcastle (well, me obviously :) )

I read the other day that he spent some time at Atletico Madrid watching their training and talking a lot with Simeone on defensive structure, that was always his Achilles heel at Bournemouth, his teams were far to expansive and open.

Good to see him back in the game, he's light years ahead of his British Dinosaur peers like Hodgson , BFS, Bruce, Hughes, Pulis who stained the game the last 15 years with heir dogmatic stale past it football of the Charles Hughes manual of Football inspiration.

'Stained the game?'

I am not saying I am a fan of these managers per se but I am also not a football snob and the beauty of football, to me, is the different styles that are on offer.

If a team has to win by playing dogged boring football then they should not be looked down on for playing that style. We may not agree that it is the best to get the best out of the players in that situation at that current time, all the time but we should not be looking down on it as style that should never be seen again. I suppose we could just have some kind of super league where only teams who play football the supposed 'right' way can play each other and excite each other to the point of climax, year after year after year.

Give me Moyes 4th over Martinez 11th everyday of the week, as a basic example.

I find someone’s team as awful to watch as Pulis’s stoke. The play acting takes it to the next level.

Howe will take them to mid table next year and then the real manager will be brought in. He is the Saudi’s Mark Hughes.
