tomorrow, or so I've been told by a senior advisor in Saudi govt, if I'm wrong so be it, if I'm right however then welcome to the brightest possible future for Newcastle United.
Let's see but I am 100% assured it is a done deal
On reflection on last night's game, it was disappointing to see Arsenal join
Leeds
Everton
Villa
Brentford
Brighton
Soton
Wolves,
Leicester
Palace
Norwich
underperform against Eddie Howe's resurgent Mags. 😉⚫⚪
After tonight, the atmosphere, the flags, the performance, the result, maybe, just maybe the rest of the country is sitting up and taking notice that the sleeping giant is waking up?
We are on the march and those in the way are worried. ⚫⚪
Is anyone else taking a huge amount of smug satisfaction in the knowledge that our safety was achieved without having to pay Man Utd £12 million and they now lose a sellable asset for nowt?
#thankyoukarma
#thankyouEddie
⚫⚪
Surely Botman off and Burn to centre half is to show the watching England manager that we have a player that is more in form and adaptable than Maguire etc and is worthy of shedding one of his 6 preferred right backs?
When Eddie Howe proudly says 'my team' in his press conferences and talks about phases and transition it highlights the chasm between him and the man he replaced.
He gets it, yet isn't from the region.
Undoubtedly the right man for our great club.

In response to Steve Bruce’s inane ramblings earlier this week comparing his tenure to Eddie Howe’s, my take is quite simple.
Steve Bruce came to enhance his bank balance, Eddie Howe came to enhance his reputation.
It is a travesty that Bordeaux are pleading to have a fixture cancelled as they teeter on the brink of bankruptcy, when simultaneously Barcelona, who owe them cloelse to €10M, are closing in on a €50M+ signing.
Where is the governance to address this?
It looks like the info I shared is not happening today, this doesn't mean it's not happening soon. However, I agree I was naive in posting what I genuinely thought was exciting news that decent people would like to know and for that I unequivocally apologise.
Imagine 12 months ago it was said that we would be bringing Trippier, Botman and Bruno off the bench?
Every single one of us should be eternally grateful to the persuasive powers of wor Mandy and be eternally grateful to the PIF & Reuben brothers 🙏⚫⚪
Imagine the entitlement to think we should win every game whilst enduring the biggest injury list in the league?
Those who have pulled on the shirt have done so with huge commitment, dedication, and no shortage of effort.
Keep going lads, we are so proud of you. ⚫️⚪️
If anyone is wondering the difference between Eddie Howe and his predecessor, it is we go into today's game against one of the world's best teams with hope & belief rather than fear & trepidation.
Thank you for uniting us once again.
Howay the lads, get into them ⚫⚪
If anybody doesn't think there are darker forces at work behind Ms Hatice & her sudden interest in nufc, ability to hire a top QC or indeed leak private correspondence then they either aren't looking closely enough or are complicit to this geopolitic propaganda
#TAKEOVER
And for those who are still interested and not counting NUFC are now 6️⃣2️⃣ days unbeaten in the premier league.
Stick your cartel where the sun don't shine, we are coming for you ⚫⚪⚫⚪
If you're of the Newcastle United persuasion and you watch only one thing today, make it this.
The next stage of this incredible journey starts again in three weeks

What a squad. An absolute dream of a season. Thank you to Eddie Howe and everybody at the club from top to bottom.
No content is my own. It’s a hobby and was completely for fun and no gain. Any person or
Brentford are currently in 14th place, if we beat them next week then we go above them with 2 games in hand, this is no longer 3 from 4 in a relegation scrap.
That's how good we have been in recent weeks.

C'mon
@richardajkeys
you are a very wealthy man who has made a good career out of limited ability and have a very supportive chairman, why complain? Why don't you just buy the TV rights yourself?
#rememberrafa
#gorillagloves
Don't know if this needs to be said, but after 6 games we are 8th with a plus 9 (NINE) goal difference and the defeats we have suffered have been at the hands of the leagues' current top 3 teams.
Just saying 🤷
I have to say that I really look forward to Eddie Howe's press conferences.
I love how polite, professional and polished he is when handling the questions posed and I am proud he represents Newcastle United.
#EddieHowesblack
&whitearmy ⚫⚪
I'm sorry but did anyone really expect the PL to say " we have been blackmailed & bullied by the people we colluded with and had no choice but to keep looking for reasons to delay or fail the bid"?
If PIF are serious then they now have cast iron reasons to make this a legal case
Hi today and Howe-day tomorrow.
A young, innovative, hungry, tactically astute coach with a point to prove and the willingness to step in to the inferno that is raging, what is there not to like?
I for one will welcome and support the man. ⚫⚪
Give Steve Bruce credit where its due, he is single handedly uniting
@NUFC
,
@AstonVillaFC
and
@SunderlandAFC
fans, I can't think of any person in footballing history who has done this
In 7 short months the new owners of NUFC have delivered on their promise that they will give us our club back, we are once again UNITED.
Imagine when they get what they want from their investment?
I for one cannot wait.
Thank you for believing in us ⚫⚪
3rd for Christmas, dirty 6 throwing their toys out the pram and Chelsea realising that the Geordie wall will take no shite.
What a time to be a toon fan.

Irrespective of tonight's result everything we could have ever wished for is in place to take our club further than we could ever have imagined.
Win, lose or draw, Newcastle United, we'll support you ever more ⚫⚪
HOWAY THE LADS
Let's see if Steve Bruce is touted for the Everton job.
Surely a great guy with all his experience is a shoe in for it?
Will
#gorillagloves
dare suggest this to his pal?
Dubravka made a mistake, if anyone is entitled to some slack this season it is him.
We are in a loftier position than any of us thought, with no relegation worries.
We are soon to become the richest club on the planet.
Our future is scarily bright.
FCB nearly gone
#cans
incoming
those who have decided to criticise Callum Wilson for only scoring one goal in pre season. As far as I'm aware pre season is to gain fitness/sharpness for when it counts.
Anyone remember the outcry for
@alanshearer
to be dropped before euro'96?
Cream always rises to the top.
The moon is in the North Pole, where the day lasts 24 hours and the moon appears in only 30 seconds completely and blocks the sun for only 5 seconds and then disappears, a breathtaking view.
When did Lascelles have a bad game for us? Imo he has improved immeasurably after regressing under the previous manager.
Another solid, committed performance again last night, he has clearly risen to the challenge.
Congratulations to all involved
A letter has been sent to Mr Masters of the PL. The author wishes to remain anonymous but is highly dedicated to taking legal action. Things are moving along very nicely. Untied we stand
@Marshydj2
Bein just reshoed the Newcastle goals, Andy Gray says really got result for Newcastle.
#gorillagloves
gave a very obnoxious and dismissive mmm and then moved on
Love it that he is narked

'shappening
If you are getting a tad irate about the endless transfer links to NUFC then consider we could still be in the MA era watching Bruceball and praying for a successful arbitration.
I know which I prefer.
So much to look forward to supporting our great club ⚫⚪
For me, this is the worst defeat of the season.
Others can be explained/justified, but this was a perfect opportunity to stamp our rise and we bottled it.
We are so much better than this.
After being slaughtered for my continuous defence of skipper Lascelles,can someone please tell me his last bad game for us, and then apologise?
#squadgame
#leader
The globalisation of NUFC is happening in front of our very eyes. Thankfully by owners who greatly respect, acknowledge and understand the role it plays in the everyday lives of its supporters.
This is what dreams are made of, this is our new reality, this is bloody fantastic.
Can anyone seriously want us to lose tonight? Win and we are closer to survival and a potential takeover, lose and closer to relegation and stuck with FCB. I'm sure Bruce won't be in charge come next season with either outcome so let's get behind the lads and 🙏 they get 3 points
A harsh but timely reminder that Eddie Howe has massively over achieved with this squad.
Survival needs to be secured then no room for sentiment, the owners want and expect more.
So Newcastle United with Botman, Burn, Targett, Tonali, Longstaff, Murphy, Anderson, Willock, Barnes, Wilson not able to play go fifth.
EIEIEIO UP THE PREMIER LEAGUE WE GO.......⚫️⚪️
I was drunk last night,
I was drunk the night before,
Tonight I’m gonna get drunk like I’ve never drank before,
Cos when we’re drunk we’re as happy as can be,
Cos we are the drunken disorderly……
Happy new year to everyone of a black and white persuasion.
Here’s to 2024 🍻⚫️⚪️
Why am I confident/certain the takeover will go through?
The PL absolutely needs this to financially boost the brand, the financial repurcussions of refusing it would cripple them, secondly & more crucially, there is absolutely NO way that Saudi will let Qatar win this battle.
These boys got us to the UCl, these boys gave their all.
The efforts made under unforgiving circumstances shouldn't be forgotten, but treasured.
our future is full of hope and positivity.
Thank you for allowing us to believe again.
We'll support you evermore ⚫️⚪️
It's becoming clearer that certain clubs & media channels were dead against the PIF backed takeover of NUFC & used whatever influence they have been granted to stop the march of the toon army.
This is self preservation borne from fear
#PremierLeagueIsCorrupt
#netisclosing
Happy 2nd Anniversary to Mr Chairman, Jamie, Merhdad and of course, Amanda. 🥳🥳⚫️⚪️
It has been incredible to witness such monumental improvement on and off the field.
Thank you for your dedication & commitment and being true to your word, allowing us to dream again.
Having time to reflect on yesterday’s humdinger of a game -
*EH has the players so well drilled they would run through a brick wall for him *the feel good factor is real *Joelinton was immense *European qualification is a reality *weekly Helios events should be mandatory ⚫️⚪️
Toon fans in every window since 2007 "why only one target at a time, no plan B? Does my head in".
This window "why are we bidding for loads of top quality players who will clearly improve our squad? Scatter gun approach, does my head in"
I know which one I prefer ⚫⚪
There is so much conjecture of why PIF withdrew, nothing from the club or PL which shows the low regard fans are held in.
What is clear is that the PL can be
DICTATED to by top 6 clubs
BLACKMAILED by Bein
INFLUENCED by Qatar
MANIPULATED by those with anti saudi/nufc agendas
Can anyone explain why the media portray us as over expectant, dilusional geordies wanting dominance?
Apart from the 100% commitment & effort that should be standard, I want to see my team win a trophy of worth, preferably at Wembley in my lifetime.
Is this too much to ask for?
Didier Domi on bein sports calling out the poor tactics Newcastle are playing, with such attacking players there is no way they should have only 35% possession at home to a team in the relegation zone he goes on to say 👏👏👏
#onceageordiealwaysageordie
With a shadow now cast over NUFC's ability to trade with Saudi clubs, coupled with the PL's penchant to impede our progress, I wouldn't be surprised to see a ruling introduced whereby a knee slide goal celebration becomes an automatic red card and 3 game suspension!
If you're proud to be a geordie clap your hands 👏👏, if you're proud to be a geordie clap your hands👏👏, iiiiiif your proud to be a geordie, proud to be a geordie, proud to be a geordie clap your hands 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have passed the PIF HQ 8 times in the last few days, and on each occasion I nod my approval with a sense of gratitude, excitement and appreciation. ⚫⚪
Even with all the fully deserved praise NUFC will receive today, I'm of the opinion that the sumptious pass by Joe willock will not be talked about enough.
I genuinely believe MA is at the end game with his NUFC tenure, hence the stranger than normal goings on, and when his exit happens it will be so clean you can feel it will instantly stop the numbing and we can start repairing and prepare for a brighter future. ⚫⚪
Seeing some make ‘jokes’ regarding King Charles draws me to one of two conclusions.
1) they are remarkably lucky that this evil disease hasn’t touched a friend or family member or 2) they live a sad, lonely existence and lack moral fibre.
#cancerkills
#fuckcancer
I don't blame Bruce for taking the job, I blame fcb for offering it.
Has he exceeded expectations that were rock bottom? Yes.
Can you see why he is liked by the media? Yes
Under PIF should he be given the opportunity to take us forward with huge funds? Absolutely not.
#NewEra
The pendulum swing on
#NUFCtwitter
in the last 10 days, From the elation of a deserved draw v Man City & a club record signing to the pathetic outcry of Bruno injured & his pal signing for West Ham.
Balance and perspective required, we are heading only one way.

Howe about to become the manager who has been given the keys to the biggest bank vault in football history with the remit of taking us to the promised land.
I wish him the very best.
Welcome to the most infectious club in the land. ⚫⚪⚫⚪
It's great to see
@nickdemarco_
garnishing masses of support, but please don't underestimate the role the more experienced Shaheed Fatima QC will play in this. Her expertise on international law will I'm sure prove to be invaluable

I never ever want to get beat, but everyone seen what it means to the World Champions to win @ SJP against our depleted squad.
The character of both sides made for a compelling game.
We can take so much from that and finish season strong.
#EddieHowesblackandwhitearmy
MA's legacy was to leave a club barely treading water whilst others swam forward.
Today we will show there is still an appetite to fight for survival, Howay the lads

Instead of a worldie display against AC Milan and keeping 5 consecutive clean sheets, perhaps Nick Pope should be dropped or have surgery to reduce the length of his arms?
This may enable him to be selected to represent his country.
Southgate once again showing he has favourites.
