Well we have learned Jaissle will drop players who are playing shit. Botman, thiaw, wissa. That's a small good bit of news. Surely can't be as bad as Palace away last season?! #nufc

Copa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores will both be Brasil vs Argentina, might actually be worth watching for once.

Kind of admire the brass balls to crowbar AI-regen Shearer into Shaka's top, and charge 90 quid for a snide. #nufc

#nufc permanent number 9s, in rank order. Based on ability, contribution, personal preference. - Alan Shearer - Andy Cole - Les Ferdinand - Andy Carroll - Callum Wilson - Obafemi Martins (personal as Cisse was better) - Papiss Cissé - Salomón Rondón - Dwight Gayle adrift - Joelinton - Yoane Wissa

As Newcastle fans we are experts at shit players and their characteristics. Wissa is an utterly shit player, a classic of the genre. Got a big pay day and now an utter waste of space. #nufc

Based on the quality of opposition, this is worse than Leeds. Very worrying for Jaissle and the rest of the season. #nufc

Long-distance runner Brendan Foster training for the then-upcoming 1978 Commonwealth Games on the streets of Tyneside, by Tony Duffy. A quite wonderful snapshot of Seventies Britain.

All in favour of man city being punished. But we shouldn't delude ourselves, this will end up meaning it's 5 clubs that can spend and compete. It won't help any club trying and it will just empower the ones who cheated slightly less and in different eras. The drawbridge is up #nufc

I know this might sound daft, but I really hope this is the PL bubble bursting. It's a bloated league, panders to foreign fans constantly, and it needs taking down several pegs. #nufc

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc

Don’t know how United do on Saturday but Dowell, Alabi, Mills and Thompson make the England under 18 squad this week. Four players gets The Mags toe to toe with Man City and is the highest number of NUFC players that have ever represented the club at this level for their country.

Without Woltemade's goals, this was Newcastle at the same period last season. A crap side that got some decent results. So in that sense it's the same. Still time get this working for the new coach. #nufc

The only tiny positive is that this game has come early in the season. It's been coming and this side can't be carrying dross like Murphy anymore, or even Wissa to be honest. Ramsey must be terrible in training to not get in this midfield. #nufc

30 years ago I convinced my kid brother that "marching on together" was them actually singing "holding hands with grandma", and it was ages before the penny dropped. #nufc

Totally understand why people are praising Bruno today. Worth remembering he missed the abject derby last season, as captain, because he had fucking mumps in 2026. #nufc

It's just a total insult when Hinchcliffe is commentating on your team's game. A pub bore who makes football feel like a 2 hour trip to B&Q. #nufc

Surely Morals AFC, the home of Adam Johnson, wouldn't sell to a Saudi club?? #nufc

@SkySports_Keith: 🚨EXCL: Al-Ittihad are in talks with Sunderland over a move for Chemsdine Talbi. 🇲🇦 🇸🇦The Moroccan international is free to move to the Saudi Pro League now as their window is still open. 📅 Talbi hasn’t been named in #SAFC European squad due to him being subject of those (2/3)

Can they not get Trump's dementia doc to run the medical for Balogun? Starting to feel sorry for the lad, but at least he's not signing for the mackems.

Newcastle signing my #1 replacement for Anthony Gordon from my summer transfer window newsletter is very cool. Pardo is super versatile and can play across the front line, a great fit for Jaissle-ball #NUFC

Those few days where Hojberg was looking like the next one in was a sliding doors moment. No banging diagonals over the top from that lad. #nufc
