We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

Taken out of context of the rest of the thread, not sure if this is J7 or EH!

So, sad he’s gone because he did great things for us - saved us when we were in peril, got us European football more than once and won a trophy. Not bad going 👍 I just can’t escape the feeling from last season that he’d run his course at #nufc and was out of energy, ideas and belief.

Just about to post exactly this so thanks!

Howe did some great things at #NUFC, but by the end of last season it felt like things had run out of steam. Personally I'd have preferred Howe and NUFC had shaken hands and parted ways after the Fulham game, but here we are. Genuinely excited to see what Jaissle can bring to the club.

Kev, lottery numbers this week please!

Fairly clear that we have a massive week coming up for #nufc FWIW - I think Bruno G gets sold. There’s a small chance Howe walks. Right now the moves we’re making require patience to come off (unless we get very lucky), that is in short supply for Howe & it’ll get bad real quick.

To all my fellow #NUFC #FPL fans, I've set up a Head-2-Head league. Something different, but should make it more competitive. Here's the code to join: 8yxpd9

Isak, Gordon, Tonali, Guimarães... Newcastle are losing star players at an alarming rate. But that's not *exactly* a bad thing. The club has been in desperate need of a rethink over what has proved to be a flawed transfer strategy. And this summer may be the perfect opportunity for a hard reset.

#nufc Interesting to see in the vid that he has just moved to the same agent as Tino and Lewis……

On the topic of Johan Manzambi and why Dortmund should sign him (probably too late now?) before the rest of European football take notice: youtu.be/Q3HETLUNVpI

As we celebrate ten years since the UK voted to leave the EU, it's worth just reminding ourselves of the many benefits of Brexit, as clearly articulated by those who voted for it.

Interesting looking at LFC posts about Munoz. Seems there was no gossip before hand even though it seems LFC were active. Reaction over there seems to be mixed. Why is there so much noise over here during negotiations - it’s clearly not helping either the club or the fan base! #nufc

This. Just to save time can we just agree 1. If we’re “interested” in someone, he’ll go elsewhere and we were just used as bait 2. Good signings usually come out of the blue with no rumours in advance. Sorry @greyeyemagpie.bsky.social 🤣 #NUFC

I'd forgotten how utterly torturous the ITK accounts make the transfer window with their endless made-up news, and grasping for attention & clicks. Checking out until some actual things happen #NUFC

Bloody hell. Amazing show of reasonableness on #nufc feed tonight. Thanking Gordon for service, appreciating decent fee, applauding both clubs for getting it done. Is this what it is like to follow a club with a plan?

I have put together a little video guide to Nigel Farage's umm... evolving views on hecklers. They seem to be quite dependent on whether the heckler disagrees with him (bad, boring, frightening, dangerous), or shouts abuse at a woman in the street (buy him a pint/give him a peerage).

Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse. I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence. Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

It never ceases to amaze me how many election pundits don’t understand the dynamics of First Past the Post, and how vote-splitting works under the UK’s electoral system. John Curtice does. Listen to John Curtice.

Does anyone on my friends list know Razor personally and can check he's ok? I reached out to him this morning when I saw this post but no response. #nufc 🙏
