My fourth annual transfer prediction piece of content is ready to read. Thanks for the lovely feedback on it from those who have taken the time to read it. Club moving so fast this window, that I had to edit as I was writing around Gordon. A great sign #NUFC www.editkev.football/p/newcastle-...

Francis (@FrancisChipp) EXCLUSIVE🚨: I’m told Newcastle United will not entertain any compensation offers for Eddie Howe until Manchester United complete the outstanding payments on the £20m fee agreed for Dan Ashworth in 2024. https://t.co/jRkKIYShrV

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

Perfect.

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Very big win. Aside from a bit of a scramble from corners early on, was pretty comfortable defensively. Jaissle backed the experience & was a little more pragmatic & it showed. Purple patch at the start of the 2nd half won against a horrible Palace team. 1st half was lifting, 3pts welcome. #nufc

Full-time: #CPFC 0-2 #NUFC Huge away win for #NUFC, who were magnificent for 20 minutes after the break & blew Palace away during that period. Experience saw the game out as well. 2nd away win of the season, 2nd clean sheet, too. Very important victory for Jaissle. #CRYNEW

You can see how we concede goals. Nerves all owa the shop with the ball down the stretch here. Glad to see the young lad come on to add some quality to our possession play. #nufc

Much more intent with the ball. Where was this all first half? There’s the second, massively needed. I honestly want this new boss to succeed, hopefully a bit of a turning point even if it’s against a crap opponent. #nufc

*puffs out cheeks* relegation level quality from both teams so far. Palace looking more threatening when they do get territory too. Just got away with one there too. Performances have to get better, otherwise MJ be gone by December #nufc

Does seem slightly less aggressive in the early phase of build up here. Joelinton dropping a bit closer to the centre backs/Nico. #nufc

Well if today goes bad, at least #FM27 is out this coming week and I get to have a virtual crack with this young squad. #nufc Anyone else buying the game on Thursday?

I do think that Thiaw/Botmwn have lacked aggression this season, so understand some of the thinking. Dedic should help with that too. Big game for Jaissle’s reign already. #nufc

Schar especially coming off of the back of a very bad injury from last season and never having been the most physically blessed (apart from looks) feels like it’s a coin toss as to if he has enough to offer at EPL level. Risky. Hope to be wrong. Palace are bad atm too. #nufc

Kev Lawson@editkev.football

Ummmm okay then. I do not feel comfortable with having two near mid thirties dudes at CB, nor with Pardo not being in the squad (unless there is an injury?). This could easily spin out of control for Jaissle with the squad if it doesn’t work. #nufc

Newcastle United (@NUFC) Your starting XI locked in for Palace 🔐 https://t.co/hEECCIy6U3

Like I get that he needs some experience, but chopping/changing so many when he’s trying to establish a way of playing. I dunno man, I hope it works. You can burn your credibility quickly with a group.

Thing with Unai, is that his English improved pretty dramatically between his two stints in the EPL. I’d back him at a big epl club now more than I did previously

Cartoon Steve Bould.@cartoonstevebould.bsky.social

I'm so desperate for him to go to United (and then sink under the big-club pressure again).

This is an absolutely diabolical free-kick routine by FC Copenhagen that I'd be trying to copy if I were working on this for a club. The design is sooooo good. Decoy runner to make the defender drop a yard, then trots back to act as a screen for the second runner, who is the real target. Genius.
