This is the level of leadership, loyalty and honesty Eddie Howe has displayed since day one of his time here at Newcastle United.
He was the right man to be manager of Newcastle United then - and saving the club from relegation, two Champions League qualifications and a first major trophy in 70 years later, heβs the right man to be manager of Newcastle United now.
π¨ Jamaal Lascelles is set to part ways with Newcastle United tomorrow β after nearly 12 years with the club.
π¦ #NUFC have agreed to allow the 32-year-old to move on β and he will undergo a medical with Leicester City tomorrow.
π₯ The Foxes have won the race to sign the defender, with a clutch of other Championship sides also after him β per @markmcadamtv.
π He was out of contract at St Jamesβ Park in the summer.
β«οΈ Lascelles has played 250+ times for Newcastle, and has been a brilliant captain through some difficult times.
βοΈ Good luck to him!
Quite simply the best and most lovable player we've had over the last 20 years.
The one player who I'd be genuinely devastated to lose (other players great but I know it's football and loyalty runs thin).
The heartbeat of the team.
β«οΈβͺοΈ Four years ago today, Bruno Guimaraes signed for #NUFC - I asked Eddie Howe to sum up his incredible impact on the club since:
π£οΈ βHe has been an incredible signing. Iβd never met Bruno before so it was a big signing - we needed him to become the player heβs been.
βBut from the day he turned up in his suit, he showed great respect to this club. Great person whoβs gone onto great things.
βYou see the success heβs had - winning a trophy, playing for Brazil - and the way heβs done it by embracing the supporters - heβs been a class act.β
Maybe I lack ambition as a football fan, but all I really want is to be able to enjoy some great days/nights. World domination doesnβt appeal β seems a bit exhausting. So forgive me if Iβve no interest in tearing into a legendary manager four days after a big Champions League win
Predictions:
Littler to win comfortably against Van Veen tonight
If anyone is going to topple Littler in the next 5 years, it'll be someone we haven't heard of yet who does it. No current big name players are going to do it
GAME ON
@Newbigginlad Great tweet. Could've also beaten Chelsea about 6-2 if shooting boots on. Leverkusen we absolutely battered second half. Would say other than Sunderland, last month or so we've been great
This was literally earlier this calendar year. Shortly before we qualified for the Champions' League for the second time in 3 years, you forgetful bastards.
Eddie Howe goes fucking nowhere until he has a statue that's been there so long that it's starting to rust #NUFC
Burnley (H)
- Gordon outstanding
- Dubravka reception quality
- thought we'd scrape over the line before the game, although from 2-0 up vs. 10, second half wasn't great
- 3 valuable points
Roll on Leverkusen
