As supporters of Newcastle United discuss the different issues impacting our club, views keep pouring into The Mag.
There is always something to talk about, whether it be occurrences on or off the field.
Below are the most recent comments from Newcastle United supporters, along with the occasional visitor from Luton or elsewhere…
Because some submissions are too small to be included in a complete article, we’ve compiled a few recent comments about problems at Newcastle United (if you have anything to add, long or short, send it to contribute@themag.co.uk):
Hello, Mag
I’m strangely falling in love.
I’m a Luton fan.
Although I am not connected to Newcastle United, I respect their distinctive fan base.
It’s a shame that the fan bases of all British clubs don’t share the same enthusiasm.
With our present fan-owned ownership, Luton has declined betting sponsorship.
They have been behaving morally, and they wouldn’t have thought of selling us to anyone or any organization that wasn’t affiliated with Luton.
It’s disappointing to see that NUFC have gotten so far away from the one thing that might turn Newcastle into a household name with a heart of gold.
Glory seekers are clients.
The Saudi owners of Newcastle want their new toy to develop into a “Glory hunter” team.
Came home to watch Newcastle give Brighton a game.
Five minutes in the warning signs from the last 3 games plus some new ones hoved into sight…
I was ok with targett coming in thinking it would move us up the pitch, he had a mare, rusty, made solly march look like ryan giggs .
Never got forward and between him and bdb they both were poor unsure.
Part of our problem was our midfield, or lack of, not helping the defence, giving the ball away, nothing going forward.
Miggy runs everywhere but looks lost
Gordon barely touched the ball no service.
Even reliable Schar fell to bits…
Isak I give a pass to.
The signs were there at villa, slow ponderous, got lucky as their centre half went off .
Man city see brighton, foden for gilmour, did nada hardly crossed the halfway line
Liverpool see any variation of above
Dropped further back it was inevitable .
Brighton carved us up wide open time after time..
Reality has kicked nufc in the groin.
You cant criticise eddie.. hopefully.
Eddie has the answers.
If he hasn’t he will be out pronto .
Some of his recent decisions have raised questions I have a text from a friend in Bournemouth.
I watched that match “be worried”
Time yet but criticism must be made.

Dear Mag,
Absolute rubbish, gone backwards again.
Mr Howe got to crack on ànd start getting results, not Losing All the time.
1 win in 4, bought too many defenders and not enough strikers got to get some strikers.
They can kiss goodbye to champions league.
No fight from any players all gone wrong.

Dear Mag,
think a bit too simplistic, those just blaming the defending.
I think more a case of the midfield in front of them, not giving the protection that was taken for granted last season.
A lot to do with the predictable settling in period for Sandro Tonali.
The Italian midfielder and his new teammates getting to know each other.
I don’t think Bruno has been anywhere near as bad this season as some drama queens are making out. He was good against Villa, battled away in the two away matches and was decent against Liverpool.
The one criticism I would have on team selection, is that on Saturday Eddie Howe insisted on starting Joelinton again, for me he didn’t look 100 per cent and I reckon the team suffered because of it.

Dear Mag,
I live over in Rotterdam at the moment and was hoping Newcastle would get Feyenoord in the Champions League. It wasn’t to be.
However, main reason for writing is that Yankuba Minteh is proving a massive hit over here.
The Feyenoord fans really like what they see and I think we could have a cracking player for the years ahead.
