Howe: 'We're where we need to be at the moment. But you can't relax for a second' - Newcastle United
"My snooker days are long gone," concedes Eddie Howe, restorer of glory on Tyneside and still a keen yet frustrated cueman. Howe grew up during the game's boomtime in the 1980s, a big fan of Jimmy Whi...
Some pre-match reading - an interview with Eddie Howe, on the importance of โhaving something to escape toโ, controlling emotions in a deeply emotional place, culture, his pride, the here and now at #NUFC and thinking of his late mum after lifting the Carabao Cup.

So happy for Dan Burn. A brilliant story but he deserves this call-up (and it probably should have come sooner). This, from last season, veered into โlove letterโ territory at the end, but itโs my favourite of many interviews Iโve done with him over the last few years. #NUFC

This season has been trickier for Gibson but she retains belief. โWeโve had really heavy transitions of personnel in and out for the last couple of seasons. I personally still back myself. I still see myself as in the mix in terms of challenging to be starting and playing every week.โ

Since joining in 2020, Gibson has been a common denominator in a hugely successful period for #NUFC, averaging over a goal every other game and delivering many memorable moments. โI would never have imagined the last four-and-a-half years would go the way they have.โ

Many of her students would come to watch her play for #NUFC. โThey werenโt just interested - they were following, they were invested,โ she says. โThatโs when I felt like I am actually inspiring, and giving them something to be inspired by.โ

It has not come without sacrifice. She had to give up her job as a teacher at Newcastle High School for Girls to become a professional footballer when the Magpiesโ womenโs team went full time in 2023.

Diego Maradona watched a teenage Gibson score a penalty in a womenโs league game in Dubai and approached her after the final whistle. โIn football,โ he told the 15-year-old, โyou will do very well.โ Earlier this month, she played her 100th game for #NUFC.
