This win will have absolutely put all that nonsense to bed for the foreseeable future.

The run in is gonna be electric now.

The summer transfer window is gonna be huge!

Looks like from all the reports and also from the grapevine over here that it's green lights all the way to spend as much as possible. Mitchell & Howe have set out their list in the transfer summit back end of Jan. Sheikh Yasir's people & the Rubens are fully committed with the finances.

Howe's record as NUFC manger -
1/2 season - Finishes 11th from 19th relegation fodder
1st full season - Qualifies for the Champions League
2nd full season - Wins the clubs first Domestic Trophy in 70 yrs

That is what you call exponential progress.

Anyone anywhere on any platform says otherwise, just laugh at them and move on. They're trolling or utterly clueless.

Either way not worth engaging with.
You missed the season where we played in the CL 🤷*♂️

Third full season is still pretty f**king impressive, but let?s get it right huh.

As for ?no criticism? and ?we?re not pundits or analysts??

As I?ve said in the past, no one is immune to criticism, Howe will do stuff I disagree with and I?ll say? becasue I have an opinion and I?m gonna voice it? and that?s the entire point of the forum? it?s not so we can just agree with each other and have a big circle of agreeable people w@nking each other off.

Also that only apply now in good times, the no criticism? or was it in force when Ashley was in charge? Nah, didn?t think so.

How about you just disagree with people, but not tell them what to do? and stop using a brilliant success of a cup to score cheap f**king points with the ?criticism? line coming up? AGAIN.
