How much credit are we going to give the wind for #nufc win against Palace? First half… long balls over hit, second half, held up so our forwards could get to them. Great start to the second half btw, some ball that from Murphy

Nothing doing going forward here from #nufc and every touch feels panicky. That right hand side may as well be stuck in traffic. In the first couple of games it felt like there was a plan, since the Elanga injury, we have been lost.

Imagine voting for an utter charlatan as president because (checks notes) the other candidate was a.) female b.) not white Anyone who actually thinks these things are important shouldn’t be voting at all. And don’t start me on promises, until you care about actions over words, your opinion is crap

1980s movies best for: plot and originality 1990s movies best for: epic characters 00s movies best for: animated film making 2010s best for superheroes / digital effects 2020s… not sure, remakes are popular

Vertical footy, our attack is nullified, Vertical footy, our defence is terrified… nanananana na na… #nufc

Oh no, not healthcare… how dare they allow everyone to have that. What next? Access to air/water/food and housing? People who don’t understand what a trade deficit is should really refrain from using technical terms like communist too. Unlikely to know an arse from an elbow imo

Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social

Trump criticising Democrats, "You'll be thrown into a communist system where everybody get's healthcare" My view: In the UK we call it democracy and NHS

I’m not going to join the #nufc doomsayers just yet BUT, I think MJ has some questions to answer. 1.) Is this the vertical style he is asking for? 2.) If not why not? 3.) If so, why can’t we score/defend? 4.) Does this system work in this league? 5.) Can he adapt it?

So it’s just a coincidence that all of the political parties and representatives who have created a bigotry-fuelled politics of division… across multiple countries are now loudly pro-Russian. Some countries need to investigate the funding and the social media influence. This is not a drill

In a country where all parties have lurched further and further right… one wonders how ANYONE with a cerebral cortex can STILL think Reform are the answer. Being cruel to people with nothing isn’t going to fix things, bring back seriousness to politics

Is it just me or does Kemi B remind you of Zippy from Rainbow; absolutely no self awareness & appears to have words come out of her mouth without ever having entered the prefrontal cortex… I bet anyone still voting blue wishes she had a zip too 😂

Every billboard in the US needs to state Socialism ≠ Communism Uncontrolled capitalism becomes a problem when the concentration of assets is so high nobody else has the chance to thrive. If essential goods cannot be provided competitively, then markets shouldn’t be given the task of providing them.

#nufc fans Logo changes so little most people wouldn’t notice: “That’s disgusting I’m never buying owt from them again” Moving to a new stadium to help the club “Ne way man, they’d have to rename St James’s Metro station” Lads… can we just try to be a bit more open minded to change?

When are the news shows going to ask reform voters to denounce the actions of Danny T… or apologise for his actions? Cos I can only imagine how quickly they’d be all over the nearest religious establishment (not the churches) to ask this if one of their attendees went nuts with a knife

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

Who teaches their kids that different human lives are worth more/less depending upon their immigration status/race/origins? Like seriously, who gets their kid on a megaphone calling for the death of innocent people on boats? UK politicians promote what they permit. Call these d-heads out

If you think closing an RNLI station is a victory for your cause, you might want to question your cause. These volunteers risk their lives to save lives, regardless of their origin/class/ethnicity/gender. If you think poor people on dinghies are less human than you, you’re wearing your racism

Liz Truss is the Prime Ministerial equivalent of Ali Dia of Premier League fame. She was as much a mega-brained Economic strategist as Ali was George Weah’s cousin…

Josiah Mortimer@josiahmortimer.bsky.social

Ok, so Liz Truss has taken up a job in Florida to talk about how to get Britain - the country that thinks she was a monumental failure - "back on track". Staying there would help...

Legitimate concerns are only legitimate if they are based upon factual context. On asylum..Unless you think it’s factual that their presence is making you unsafe. The only way to make this legitimate is to show that they are more dangerous than anyone else in similar socioeconomic conditions.

I mean would you guys be shocked if Reform took £12m from a known drug lord and then changed its legislative agenda on drug offences in its manifesto? Is handing crypto-launderers golden ticket policies after they’ve donated record sums not the same thing? They have no principles… mercenaries

My Grandma used to tell me that we were related to Grace Darling, the girl whose selfless actions led to the formation of the #RNLI I don’t think that young lady stopped to check the immigration status of the people she saved… if you believe all human life matters, you’d not care either

The only time it seems Maga republicans and Christian nationalists like them actually seem to believe in “survival of the fittest”… and other evolutionary principles is when it’s their answer to what their plan is for Medical care and state funding programs

If, as an #NUFC fan if you rewind the clock by a month… you know you have: Liverpool (h), Spurs (a) Bournemouth (h) as the first 3 games. I offer you 5pts… you’d snap my hand off. Don’t lie to yourself

Don’t know why everyone seems annoyed at the kick off time for #nufc today… as a Georgie abroad, 3:30pm is perfect! Bournemouth fans… long old trip for a morning, at least the club has discounted the bar bill though

Enjoying 26/27 Premier League season so far. Not going to lie, slightly smug I’ve got Elanga 2.0 in my fantasy team alongside #nufc teammates Dedic and Hall

1.) Man works as accountant in jail 2.) Woman with unfortunate skin pigmentation uncovers government wrongdoing 3.) 2 short men return jewellery to forge after enduring a long walk, fly home

Newcastle United take on league game number two in what is going to be an interesting and exciting season of guesswork for fans and foes of #nufc alike. A fresh look, new players to fall in love with, a manager with a reputation to build and hopefully some great wins on the way. Optimism for life

I see Liverpool completed their Wordle on the last attempt again. Lucky? Perhaps. Got help from a third party? Maybe. #nufc can be proud of their performance, tenacious and with clear intention to lure them in and hit on the break. I’ll take 2-2 against them regardless

So it’s the beginning of the #nufc season. Newcastle 2.0. Please remember: - patience is needed - being a supporter requires you to play your part “support” - looking at the results from yesterday I guess nobody knows what this season will bring (we can still dare to dream) Enjoy celebrating KK

He can’t even turn up to Clacton on by-election results day… predictable excuse “police told me not to”… predictable response from the police “nobody has advised any candidate not to attend”… what a massive loser, even if he has won against a bunch of “nobodies”

Catering carts, for when you can’t find someone to confirm you’ve got bone spurs… (it’s not the dodging of danger that’s the problem, it’s the avoidance of it whilst still putting others at risk)

Ah #EddieHowe left. I’m actually only annoyed at the timing, this could’ve been sorted in June. I don’t think he has had much to do with the transfers in/out (may be why he’s off?) so hopefully replacement has time to work with the squad. Don’t forget last season (PL) we were utterly crap.

Kevin Keegan, the man who held the hopes and dreams of a whole community on his shoulders and brought a belief that has never since disappeared. A behemoth of football. A hero to many and a role model to all. RIP #KK

Newcastle seemingly lose out on another target after agreeing terms… I understand fan’s frustration but the reality is this one was obviously happening as the player was clearly stalling for time throughout. We have to accept that these players are using us to negotiate better offers elsewhere.

I don’t want to get my hopes up but what an opportunity to put Farage in the BIN…Let’s hope the sane people of Clacton make their vote COUNT… shove true democracy in his toady FACE.

Reform voters fall into two broad categories… 1.) the actual bigots who prioritise racism as something they vote for 2.)The people who want change and have been persuaded that this is the only route to achieve it People in category 2 almost certainly have little clue about what policies Reform have

Nothing says “I’m innocent” like quitting your role as an MP and standing again in the resulting by-election following a bunch of scandals involving you taking money from dubious sources and then not declaring it when you aught to have…

Let's take a look at this claim as "revealed" by the Daily Mail. TLDR - It's taken them a reeeeeally long time to "reveal" this law 😜 So what's the reality behind this headline? 🧵 1/23

Hang around with ghouls and it’s only a matter of time before you start showing signs of ghoulishness. Sure this is nothing to do with someone giving money to his think tank in exchange for his integrity.

Man with infinite capacity for self-delusion calls on his former party to double-down on the failed policies of the last 40 years. bsky.app/profile/mrma...

Things £5m gifts to Nigel Farage are for: 1.) Security for attacks that hadn’t occurred yet 2.) Brexit getting done (way before the payment) Things it wasn’t for 1.) Influencing him to become an MP 2.) Influencing his policies once he became an MP Gotcha

Do you think we will get to the stage where all the Trump cultists who think he’s playing 3D chess will actually come to realise he’s playing snakes and ladders and doesn’t know how to use dice?
