I'm always amazed at the number of not sports journalists who talk like they are one. You're not reporting an update. You just read it on social like we all did. #nufc

Just saw a "we've got blood money so we should be breaking our wage structure" post. Easy block. #nufc

When you ask Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff if they've got their boots on ready for the warm up. #nufc

We've gone from evil #NUFC with no ceiling and poor Liverpool who can't afford to keep up.... ...to "there's no way they can pay him as much as us" as Liverpool consider making £100m+ signing Just a cosy little screen corner, socialist, steeped-in-tradition, sports conglomerate.

I say offer Forest £65m for Elanga. £45m cash and £20m Odysseas Vlachodimos Surely too good an offer to refuse? #NUFC

#nufc win silverware, CL finish, no suggestion that we won't spend absolutely up to the limit of our PSR, still 2 months of the transfer window left... but on the other hand @magicdarts has *checks notes* "a general feeling".

🤣 #nufc #mackemslayer

Rejoined Newcastle at 30 years after clawing his way up the leagues via Asda. We're watching a Newcastle United legend. It's worth taking a moment every now and again to remember that.

Imagine Jason Tindall in goalie gloves. He'll do. #MackemSlayer #nufc www.skysports.com/football/vid...

The Telegraph has managed to do a remarkable thing. Use a headline quote that - surprise! - doesn't actually appear anywhere in the article. The words "trigger" and "meltdown" are nowhere to be found. The Telegraph's obsession with net-zero - and its assault on journalism – continues apace...

Surprise person interacts with another surprise person to make surprise thing. Against modern journalism.

Burnley sign goalkeeper expected to (eventually) be their number 1. James Trafford to #NUFC? www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/footba...

"Salomon Rondon is too hot to handle for this Real Madrid defence." First Joselu. Now this. Wild. #nufc

Yesterday Eddie was wrong for not playing Osula and resting Isak more. Today Osula isn't good enough to understudy him. BlueSky thinking. #nufc

Osula starts! #SummerOfOsula #nufc

There is a certain type of transphobe who would claim that a table hated their "gender critical ideology" after stubbing their toe on its leg. They are consumed by hate, and make it their whole identity. All they care about is making themselves seem like a victim.

Saw Ani Di Franco is at Glastonbury. Reminded me if this which I have listened to in years. Reminded me of a time before we had given up and just expect our governments to be evil. open.spotify.com/track/0Jz66L...

I mean seriously who looks to Starmer for his insight into popular music. His Desert Island Discs will be whatever is on Farage's Spotify playlist.

The Mirror used to be the champion of the working man. The absolute state of this.

Great football memories in Asia. My local (now disbanded) Hanoi team (Hanoi Hoa Phat - basically a furniture factory team) got to the cup final with a dangerously uncovered terrace...and WON! Rice wine and goat on the way home!

I miss big football stories breaking late Saturday night as the Sunday first editions left the presses. #NUFC
