Newcastle manager Eddie Howe celebrates one year in charge dreaming of silverware

Having taken over with the club in the relegation zone, the Magpies are now third in the Premier League and face Crystal Palace in the League Cup

When Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United exactly one year ago this week, the situation was looking desperate for the incoming manager.

The Magpies were second bottom of the Premier League, without a win from 11 games and five points from safety. To make matter worse, Howe had tested positive for Covid which meant he had to watch his first match – a chaotic 3-3 draw with Brentford – from a hotel room in Gateshead.

Fast forward 12 months and Howe has masterminded a remarkable turnaround that sees the club sitting third in the table after an impressive 4-1 destruction of Southampton on Sunday.

Talk on Tyneside is no longer about the spectre of relegation but the chance of playing European football next season for the first time since 2013.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has even talked up Howe's team as potential Premier League champions. “They have incredible physicality to the way they play and they are playing one game a week, they are not playing in Europe and when this happens that’s a big advantage,” said the Spanish coach.

Howe has since played down the chances of Newcastle winning their first top-flight title since 1927 but admitted before Wednesday's League Cup tie against Crystal Palace that the club is focused on success – and silverware.

“I said at the very beginning that my dream was to try to win something for Newcastle and that hasn't changed,” said the former Bournemouth manager ahead of the third-round game at St James' Park. “We want to do well in the cups.

“When you play any game you have to get the mindset right. Everybody has to have the mindset to win and progress.

“We are ambitious, you have to dream big. The players mirror my thoughts. There are no dead games here – we want to win every game and that's what we will try to do.”

Howe has spent big but spent well since taking over with the club's Saudi-backed ownership splashing out more than £200 million ($229m) on new players.

In the summer, the black and whites brought in England goalkeeper Nick Pope from Burnley and Lille defender Sven Botman, complimenting a backline that had already been strengthened by the arrival of Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn in January.

The improvement is clear for all to see. No club has conceded fewer goals (11) or earned more clean sheets (six) than Newcastle in the Premier League and it this defensive meanness has been the foundation of the team's rise up the table.

In midfield, Bruno Guimaeres – who was another January signing and has just been named in Brazil's World Cup squad – has been so impressive that he has attracted the attentions of Spanish giants Real Madrid, after scoring eight goals in 28 league games since joining.

But it is the performances of players that Howe inherited that has been most eye catching; from the improvement of Swiss defender Fabian Schar, to the reinvention of Joelinton as a powerhouse back-to-box midfielder and the emergence of winger Miguel Almiron as an unlikely goal machine.

Tottenham 1 Newcastle 2: player ratings

TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris – 3. A bad day in the office for the Frenchman, who was at fault for both goals. First, he misjudged a Schar long ball and collided with Wilson to leave his net exposed. Then, his poor ball to Sessegnon was intercepted by Longstaff, leaving Almiron to burst into the box and tap in from a tight angle. Getty Images

Ryan Sessegnon – 5. Full of energy on the left wing, Sessegnon was a constant outlet and formed part of Spurs’ early counter attacks. His highlight going forward was a first-half shot that was cleared by Schar. Defensively, Longstaff and Almiron sometimes got the better of him, and he faded as the game went on. Booked. PA

The Paraguayan – who went into this season having managed just 14 goals in 123 appearances – has been in scintillating form scoring seven times in his last seven games, including a stunning volley at Fulham that earned him October's goal of the month award on BBC's Match of the Day.

“We don’t expect Miggy to be scoring shots from 30 yards every week,” Howe said ahead of the Southampton win. “If you put the recent strikes together, you get a show reel of outstanding goals. But I get just as much pleasure from his second goal at Fulham which was from six yards out.”

Next up is Patrick Vieira's Eagles in a competition where Newcastle have a miserable record, having never gone beyond the last eight since losing to Manchester City in the final back in 1976. In the last five seasons alone, they have failed to make it beyond round two on four occasions.

And while the Howe mantra is “win every game”, there will inevitably be changes to the starting XI for what is the second of three games in six days.

“We have got a lot of players who are eager to play and show their qualities,” he said. “We will try to make the right call for the team while acknowledging that we are desperate to progress and do well in the competition. I have got to make the right choices and get the balance right.”

Tips for used car buyers
  • Choose cars with GCC specifications
  • Get a service history for cars less than five years old
  • Don’t go cheap on the inspection
  • Check for oil leaks
  • Do a Google search on the standard problems for your car model
  • Do your due diligence. Get a transfer of ownership done at an official RTA centre
  • Check the vehicle’s condition. You don’t want to buy a car that’s a good deal but ends up costing you Dh10,000 in repairs every month
  • Validate warranty and service contracts with the relevant agency and and make sure they are valid when ownership is transferred
  • If you are planning to sell the car soon, buy one with a good resale value. The two most popular cars in the UAE are black or white in colour and other colours are harder to sell

Some of Darwish's last words

"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008

His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.

Europe wide
Some of French groups are threatening Friday to continue their journey to Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the European Union, and to meet up with drivers from other countries on Monday.

Belgian authorities joined French police in banning the threatened blockade. A similar lorry cavalcade was planned for Friday in Vienna but cancelled after authorities prohibited it.

Teachers' pay - what you need to know

Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:

- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools

- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say

- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance

- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs

- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills

- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month

- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

Chatham House Rule

A mark of Chatham House’s influence 100 years on since its founding,  was Moscow’s formal declaration last month that it was an “undesirable
organisation”. 

 

The depth of knowledge and academics that it drew on
following the Ukraine invasion had broadcast Mr Putin’s chicanery.  

 

The institute is more used to accommodating world leaders,
with Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher among those helping it provide
authoritative commentary on world events. 

 

Chatham House was formally founded as the Royal Institute of
International Affairs following the peace conferences of World War One. Its
founder, Lionel Curtis, wanted a more scientific examination of international affairs
with a transparent exchange of information and ideas.  

 

That arena of debate and analysis was enhanced by the “Chatham
House Rule” states that the contents of any meeting can be discussed outside Chatham
House but no mention can be made identifying individuals who commented.  

 

This has enabled some candid exchanges on difficult subjects
allowing a greater degree of free speech from high-ranking figures.  

 

These meetings are highly valued, so much so that
ambassadors reported them in secret diplomatic cables that – when they were
revealed in the Wikileaks reporting – were thus found to have broken the rule. However,
most speeches are held on the record.  

 

Its research and debate has offered fresh ideas to
policymakers enabling them to more coherently address troubling issues from climate
change to health and food security.

Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)

What is THAAD?

It is considered to be the US' most superior missile defence system.

Production:

It was first created in 2008.

Speed:

THAAD missiles can travel at over Mach 8, so fast that it is hypersonic.

Abilities:

THAAD is designed to take out projectiles, namely ballistic missiles, as they are on their downward trajectory towards their target, otherwise known as the "terminal phase".

Purpose:

To protect high-value strategic sites, such as airfields or population centres.

Range:

THAAD can target projectiles both inside and outside of the Earth's atmosphere, at an altitude of 93 miles above the Earth's surface.

Creators:

Lockheed Martin was originally granted the contract to develop the system in 1992. Defence company Raytheon sub-contracts to develop other major parts of the system, such as ground-based radar.

UAE and THAAD:

In 2011, the UAE became the first country outside of the US to buy two THAAD missile defence systems. It then deployed them in 2016, becoming the first Gulf country to do so.
