Well I suppose you can’t claim that sponsoring one journalism awards category affects the judges in the category before it.

Meanwhile Harry Kane just gets a stupid gold football 🥖

A fresh move and a fresh prize for Vivi Asseyi 🔥🏆 Congratulations to our latest #FreshMoveOfTheRound winner, who's bagged herself a Subway Black Card with FREE Subway for a whole year 🥪🎉 #SubwayPlayersCup

Understudy for Osula? #NUFC

Andy@andychrister.bsky.social

Looking at the small print, Harry Kane now has to join #NUFC like the last two English #BallonDor winners.

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.

Fabulous. Some really exciting players and loved Seung-Soo living his best life. Decent way to spend a Monday night. I'm no lipreader but pretty sure I saw the PIF guy say: "I've seen enough, you've got your new ground..." to Ross Wilson when the winner went in. Watch this space. #NUFC

Full-time: #NUFC U21s 3-2 #SAFC U21s Huge final half-hour from #NUFC, who twice fell behind (Felix Scott with #SAFC's 2nd) & yet found a way to win. Subs made a big difference. Kyran Thompson, Park Seung-soo (with an absolute belter) & Vakhtang Salia the scorers as #NUFC claim bragging rights.

Tino not hit by any problem. Headline appears to refer to Dedic form. Story only mentions Tino in passing. No transfer hint. #NUFC

Looks like the ‘AI productivity gains will help create growth and jobs to offset the jobs it destroys’ hypothesis is going to be tested pretty quickly.

#BREAKING: Microsoft offers voluntary exit packages to 60,000 staff

Slightly worried by BDB apparently held together by plasters. Considering he was out with a rolled ankle - WTF have they been doing to him in the meantime? #NUFC

Newcastle United (@NUFC) 3 POINTS ✅ https://t.co/fSklcRpTTi

Daughter been playing football for years and doing #NUFC Foundation training in her holidays. But had never really wanted to watch games. It's only this season that suddenly it's unmissable for her. Did my old dad heart good to hear her scream when Murph dug out a cross and Will finished. Magic 🖤🤍

This. In everything.

Impartiality does NOT mean giving equal weight to science/facts/reality on the one hand and right-wing populist culture war BS on the other. Every section referenced actually DID give pros and cons, and difficult choices. The MoS ignored that and pretended it was one-sided.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

A month ago, Sir Jim Ratcliffe lectured the Prime Minister, telling him he should run Britain in the same way he runs Manchester United

That would be a weird one. I'd wish him the best of luck in anything and would genuinely want him to be a success. But still would want Man U to lose every game. #nufc

Match of the Day {bot}@bbcmotd.xmirror.bot

Eddie Howe reportedly would be interested in speaking to Man Utd if the club part ways with Michael Carrick. Latest gossip ➡️ https://bbc.in/4z7YRuu

Bridges saying Carrick got Man U into CL "against all the odds". Not in Europe, out of every cup at the first attempt, 250m spent in the summer (and still finished 14 behind Arsnl who played 23 more games) They were way off it then and way off it now. Carrick has a lot of pundit pals.

Replying to @georgesimms.bsky.social

Re Europe. This is also why Man U will be poor next year and Carrick a reasonable bet for being sacked. This year they were not only out of Europe, they were out of all cups at the first attempt. It would be really hard for him to fail.

I'd just like to live long enough to read a #nufc Guardian match report that isn't written by a mackem. It's been generations already.

S'lund fans singing you're not fit to referee. Presumably they expect O'Nien to be booked. #nufc

Graham Smyth@grahamsmyth.bsky.social

47 - O'Nien fouls his team-mate as they challenge with DCL. Whistle goes, treatment for a head injury. Interesting to see how this restarts. 0-0 #lufc

Carrick is now just writing blues lyrics.

Fabrizio Romano (MIRROR)@fabrizioromano.yopro20.com

🚨 Michael Carrick: “It's a tough situation. There's no hiding from it. What it looks like, what's next, I really don't know”. “I'll always do what's best for this football club”.

We're f*cking massive. #NUFC

Right idea. Wrong sub suggestion 🤣 #nufc

Steve Jackson@stja.bsky.social

Yes #NUFC looking poor but that's going to be the way until they claw back some form/momentum/confidence. That selection was always going to be safety first. Would like to see Toure on for Murphy but it's a clean sheet at half time away. Crack on.
