Ralf: "For me it’s not enough to do some minor amendments, some little issues here and there and little cosmetic things. In medicine, you would say that this is an operation of the open heart."

It would be amazing if Arbroath were promoted.

"It was knocking on 11.30pm after a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace night as Eddie Howe stood in the shadow of the Sir Bobby Robson statue at St James' Park posing for pictures with the gaggle of fans who had waited behind to greet the Newcastle manager." "He was pretty much the last person to leave the stadium - having earlier led Newcastle to their sixth home win in a row. It was the first time any Magpies team had achieved that feat since 2004 - when the club was then led by the legendary Sir Bobby himself." "Spending time with the fans who had waited in the cold for two hours just to say hello was also the sort of thing the former England boss would do." https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12595303/how-eddie-howe-has-transformed-newcastle-and-restored-hope-at-st-james-park-reporters-notebook

“Well 40 is the magic number, but until it’s done, we will just keep going. We don’t want to stop here, we want to go as high as we can. “I think it’s some achievement from where we were when the ownership came in to where we are now.” “I love playing at home. It feels like what it used to be like when I was a kid.” “But having said that, as soon as I knew Newcastle were in for me, I wanted to help the club I fell in love with as a kid, and I was never going to turn it down. Obviously, if you look at it from a pure footballing sense, of course, it was a huge risk. “I suppose in one way, I let my heart rule my head. It was a bit of both really. As soon as Newcastle came in, I was desperate to come here. And from day one, I always believed we had enough." “At first, I thought there may be a real downer about the place from the times I have been here before with the relegation battles, but everything was brilliant. I knew almost straight away we would be all right.” “I agree with those who say he is a real contender when you see what he has done. When you come in and turn it around the way he has, just the mentality, the way we train, the sense of real togetherness he has brought, photos after winning games, just little things like that. It has brought the fans and the players closer together, we are all pulling in the same direction." “Obviously, you have the likes of Klopp and Guardiola, but I think what he has done is equally impressive. Obviously, it is a different job he has done, but a huge achievement from the state the club was in. To get to 40 points with five games to go is monumental." “Speaking to people who had worked with him, I knew how he worked, the intensity. I enjoy training and working like that. The supporters react to that. They want the lads to be working hard week in, week out.” “I’m too young to remember Barcelona. But it’s those games against Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, games like that, And the atmosphere and positivity now feels like that." “It’s just the hope. Everyone is buzzing to see what the future will bring. That is why we had to stay up. We are not mathematically done yet - but we’re well on our way.”

"The biggest names are signing with Newcastle United this season." Bring on the new transfer window.
