EDDIE HOWE’S family film night will be much more enjoyable this week.
The Toon boss spent last Saturday night watching back their Bournemouth horror show.

But everyone will be happy to gather round and watch this clinical south coast display which sent the Magpies back into the top four and had Alexander Isak cast as the leading man.
Newcastle’s Swedish wonder won a penalty and scored twice to get the visitors ahead after Jan Bednarek’s shock Saints opener.
Sandro Tonali, scoring his first Premier League goals since his 10-month gambling ban, rounded off the afternoon.
Howe made just one change from last weekend’s 4-1 defeat, with Fabian Schar coming in for Sven Botman.

He laid back to James Bree, who was given time to pick out a fine ball for the unmarked Bednarek to head in his second goal in as many games.
Saints have struggled desperately for consistency across 90 minutes, let alone a run of games.
They looked to keep the pressure on Newcastle, with Toon fan Adam Armstrong sending a shot at Martin Dubravka.
If Southampton’s opener was a surprise, their collapse was entirely predictable.
A defensive cock-up is never far away in these parts and Joe Aribo delivered on 22 minutes – though Newcastle needed VAR to confirm it.
Referee Sam Barrott had initially pointed for a corner after Aribo sent Isak tumbling in the box, but replays showed the Saints midfielder never got a touch on the ball.
And for the fifth straight game on the road Isak found the back of the net, sending Alex McCarthy the wrong way from the spot.
Isak’s goalscoring run of eight consecutive games may have been stopped by the Cherries, but that blank clearly had not dented his confidence.
The super Swede came close to a second three minutes after his penalty, seeing a powerful strike palmed away after he latched onto Bruno Guimaraes’ back-heel.
There was no such disappointment just 60 seconds later.
Jacob Murphy clipped the ball past Aribo in midfield and fizzed a perfect ball into the path of Isak, who cushioned with his left and rolled an ice-cool finish in with his right.
With so many clubs gagging to land a striker this month, Newcastle can demand the earth for their marksman should anyone come calling.
But if he helps them back into the Champions League, there will be confidence of keeping him on Tyneside for the foreseeable future.
Southampton had not been as hopeless as they have looked at times in this doomed season.
Dubravka had to save twice from Taylor Harwood-Bellis, first tipping an acrobatic effort over the bar before holding onto his header from the resulting corner.

But despite their encouraging spells – this squad is simply not good enough for the Premier League.
Just five minutes into the second half the Saints left a gap so wide at the back that the tractors which had been protesting outside before kick-off would have found their way through.
But it was Tonali who exploited the space, showing aggression in the middle before charging forwards to pick up Anthony Gordon’s ball and slotting past McCarthy.
It could have been a much more depressing afternoon for the Saints had McCarthy not tipped Murphy’s strike onto the post, while Bednarek also blocked on the line from Joelinton.
Matheus Fernandes tested Dubravka from the edge of the box and with five minutes to go looked to have made it a nervy finish, but his goal was ruled out for offside.

SERIAL killer “Jack the Stripper” may finally have his identity revealed as one of his six victim’s sons has said he knows who did it.
It is one of the UK’s most chilling unsolved serial killer cases and it left half a dozen sex workers dead, dumped stripped of their clothes across west London.

As evidence increasingly points towards a single suspect, a child of one of the victims has urgently pleaded the Metropolitan Police to re-investigate the cold case.
Frances Brown was found dead and stripped naked in a Kensington car park on 25 November, 1964.
Her son, Frank, can’t remember a time when his mum’s murder did not dominate his life as he was just six months old when she was killed.
He feels the victims’ families have been robbed of justice and that one suspect is undoubtedly the killer.
Frank told MailOnline that he’d always wanted to find out what had happened to his mum but that conversations surrounding the case had only recently opened up.
He added that while previously he used to accept the view of the police and found it easier to do so, he wants the force to look at the case again as the “families deserve it.”
Frank’s mum was one of six sex workers murdered over a two-year period in the 1960s in what became known as the Hammersmith nude murders.
Despite being led by Scotland Yard chief superintendent John Du Rose, nicknamed “five day John” due to his perceived ability to solve murders in just five days, the murder case eventually went cold.
But for Frank, he believes he knows the identity of the killer for sure, claiming he was “100 per cent convinced” the murderer was Harold Jones.
Jones, of Abertillery, Wales, had been convicted for the murder of two young girls in the 1920s.
He was aged just 15 when he killed 8-year-old Freda Burnell, although he was later acquitted due to limited evidence.
But just two months later, he lured 11-year-old Florence Little to his parents’ home before hitting her over the head with a piece of wood, slitting her throat, and hiding her body in the attic.
After pleading guilty, he was sent to Wandsworth Prison where he also admitted to the murder of Freda before being later released in 1941 aged 35.
Jones’ involvement in the Hammersmith murders case was looked into in a 2019 BBC documentary Dark Son: The Hunt For A Serial Killer.
David Wilson, a criminology professor at Birmingham University, led the investigation which found many similarities between Jones and Jack the Stripper.
They also found he had been living under the name of Harry Stevens, with links to an industrial estate where police believed the bodies had been kept before being discarded in the River Thames.
This evidence led them to seek a cold case review from the Met, citing Jones as the prime suspect, although the families are still no closer to confirmation more than five years later.
‘TERRIBLY DARK SECRET’
Jack the Stripper’s first murder victim is generally believed to have been Hannah Tailford, 30, who was found dead by the River Thames in Hammersmith in February 1964.
On April 8, Irene Lockwood was found completely naked slightly further up the riverbank in Chiswick – she had been pregnant at the time.
16 days after that, Scottish-born Helen Barthelemy was found dead in a Brentford alleyway.
May Fleming’s body was discovered outside a garage forecourt in Chiswick in July.
Frances Brown was found in November in a Kensington car park, after last being seen alive by a fellow sex worker getting into a client’s car in October.
The final victim, Bridget O’Hara, was found dead near a storage shed behind the Heron Trading Estate in Acton in February, 1965, after being declared missing since January.
Both Bridget and Helen’s bodies were found with flecks of industrial paint, with the latter’s also showing signs of being stored in a warm environment.
Two earlier murders have also been linked by some investigators to Jack the Stripper.
Elizabeth Figg was found dead on 17 June 1959 in Duke’s Meadows, Chiswick, close to the River Thames – at the time the area was known for being frequented by prostitutes.
Gwynneth Rees’ almost entirely naked body was also discovered on 8 November 1963 on Townmead Road, Mortlake, in a household refuse disposal site.
Harold Jones’ daughter, who anonymously spoke in the 2019 documentary and was completely unaware of her father’s past, described him as “an unassuming family man” who kept a “terribly dark secret” until his death.
A spokesperson from the Metropolitan Police said: “While no unsolved murder investigation is closed, there are currently no active lines of enquiry in relation to these murders.
“If anyone has fresh information that they believe could assist police, they are asked to call 101 or make contact via our website.”
