'A glimmer of light' - fan views on Ramsdale
We asked for your reaction to Aaron Ramsdale's move to Newcastle on a season-long loan from are some of your comments:Richard: What we really need between the sticks is a keeper with decent feet. Pope and Dubravka are very good shot stoppers but if you ever wondered what a stadium full of people sharply intaking their breath sounds like then go to St. James Park when Nick Pope gets a back pass! Modern keepers are expected to be able to distribute with their feet like another defender to break opponents' press. If Ramsdale's up to that then he's got my Ramsdale is a quality keeper, just entering his prime with a great deal of experience. He'll learn a lot at Newcastle and should realise his Well liked by the fans who liked his enthusiasm and drive. Slightly bonkers at times but aren't all goalkeepers? Not good at fast long throws and not naturally two Aaron played for the Blades a few seasons ago. He was brilliant and marked out even then as a future England keeper. He likes being part of a passionate northern club and will fit in very Ramsdale is the pragmatic transfer after Trafford chose Man City. He represents a positive, pragmatic choice in getting a proven English keeper who can replace or provide competition for Pope. A glimmer of light in what is looking like a dismal window for Definitely play Ramsdale. Pope is a calamity. Every time the ball is played back to him we feel trepidation. Ramsdale is so much better. I'd keep Dubravka and try to sell Pope. Move onwards.

Eddie Howe makes Newcastle confession after Celtic loss
The manager of the Premier League side accepted that his side were well beaten by Celtic as he cited the difference in fitness levels on display. Howe suggested his players had entered the match 'slightly jaded' after a training camp in Austria before the 4-0 loss at Celtic Park. Eddie Howe reflects on this afternoon's pre-season friendly in Glasgow. 🗣️ — Newcastle United (@NUFC) July 19, 2025 Despite the heavy defeat, Howe hailed the pre-season friendly as a worthwhile exercise as he saluted Celtic's performance. "We take a load from that. That was a really good test for us," he told Newcastle club media. "This was a test that maybe came a little bit too early for us. "We've had a long week in Austria. Not making excuses by the way but the lads came into the game jaded, slightly. "It was a great workout for us. I think Celtic played very well. "I thought we played well in phases of the game, we created chances and should have scored a couple of goals. "Overall, I think the team will be better for the game." Read more: Howe then suggested his side did "hold their own" in the fixture despite the scoreline. He added: "They are way ahead of us fitness-wise. It's a really useful lesson for us to learn because we usually do that to other teams. "The power of our fitness usually shows in our performances, today it was the other way round. "Other than four wasn't a game where we were consistenly under pressure. We more than held our own but defended those moments poorly."
