Random, personal, infrequent musings plus vaguely interesting flotsam & jetsam. Borrible. ⚫️⚪️ Leazes Corner & LDN away back in the day. Beat The Great Barça Deluge 2002 & WHam (H) 1980.

Raisbeck called it as soon as he had the replay. Ando just hates VAR. 🤣

I agree. Social media is proving incapable of growing up & taking responsibility. People will always want to read, listen & watch clever, interesting, funny, insightful and thought-provoking content. The key is to recognise it & deliver it; not surrender to the algorithm, soundbites & gobshites.

Absolutely. Depressing, predictable and will eventually kill good writing and good journalism.

To paraphrase Die Hard’s Hans Gruber: "You wanted a miracle, I give you SEO…" If you rate your readers and content lower than a click and a fucking algorithm, then you get what you deserve: contempt.

Oh. Does it include that rough edit of “Touch Me, I’m Sick" with you three on vocals?

Is that the name of the Manflesh album trilogy run-of-three?

Yep. I get the sense that THIS is the turning point. No more fucking about. Get it right every time from now on or it comes crashing down.

They need to take the next logical step as soon as possible: stop linking to and embedding tweets in their reports. Until they fully wean themselves off it, they’re still facilitating Musk IMHO.

Me, I’m still praying for a sock-blowing, world-class, beautiful, mindfuck of a plan. But … I’ll settle for just being better and maybe a trophy in my lifetime if I’m lucky. This is Newcastle United we’re talking about here, right? 3/3 😉💪⚫️⚪️

I guess it comes down to cost, feasibility, ambition and old fashioned vision to deliver something that takes us to the next level in the right timeframe. Temporary stadium on Castle Leazes like Stadium 974 maybe? 2/3

Thanks Stephen. Great stuff. There’s definitely no easy solution and someone, somewhere is going to be hacked off about … change. Roger Thornton was an interesting appointment recently and we know the Reubens are active in the NE property market. 1/3

Agree. Been saying for ages we need to think big. If they want … they could find a way to re-route Barrack Rd, buy up that student accommodation and hotel and turn SJP 90 degrees. They could create one hell of an impressive approach from anywhere AND use the old brewery site. If not now, when? 💪⚫️⚪️
