Only here for the Anthony Barry half time interview. I’ll be gutted if it doesn’t happen.

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Shot map from yesterday is interesting. Seems they were targeting Botman with most shots coming in his zone. Dan Burn probably comes back in when fit. #nufc

Joe Willock needs to start every week. Lad is reborn under Jaissle. Goals have been class, but it’s his increased work rate that’s even more impressive. Busted his gut for the team today, which isn’t something he’s always done in the past and I’m one of his bigger fans. #nufc

Can’t get so down after every bad result. We’ve got a lot to work on, but also, was anyone expecting us to be good already? Beat Hull and it’s been a good start. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Lots of confirmation bias going on with analysis of Willock this season. People have already decided he’s shit now, so look for the bad stuff. He’s been decent - a bigger goal threat than Wissa. Not a number ten, but he’s doing alright under Jaissle. #nufc

Strange to see Miley getting a lot of stick. Was class for the first two games and now people want him benched. Will be plenty of inconsistency from these young lads, but not sure benching after one poor game will be a good environment for them. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Big chance before international break to put ourselves into a strong league position. Four points or more would be class. League will be so tight again. It’ll be hard to make ground. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Lots of headloss over Mike Dean’s comments on a podcast. A bloke who’s always craved being centre of attention being spoken about all over the internet. I would question how true anything he says truly is.

Why Matias Fernandez-Pardo is a hugely exciting signing for Newcastle

Matias Fernandez-Pardo has joined Newcastle United on deadline day, in what looks to be the eighth and final senior signing made by the club.

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Nico Gonzalez is the signing of the summer for me. I don't even think that's being too bias. He is a Champions League calibre player, who would be playing for Man City if Pep was still manager. Would have improved every team in this league. Weird he joined us really. Had no right to get him. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Nick Pope staying shows the lack of interest in him. Shame as I'd like to have seen him go to play. Thought Celtic or Rangers would have been perfect. That being said, if his options were being our third choice keeper or a second choice elsewhere on less money, his decision makes sense. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

One beneficiary of the MFP signing will be Harvey Barnes. Fernandez Pardo will drift over to the left at times, which will create space for Barnes centrally. #nufc

Lewis Hall is a phenomenon. Been class in all three games and has finally stopped giving away penalties. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

It's going to be a fun season with these young lads. They'll make mistakes along the way - Jaouen last night, but we need to give them room to make these and learn from them. Thought his footwork was class. Can see the talent in all of the signings, but some will need longer than others. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Amar Dedic is a freak. Where did we find him? And why did nobody else want him? #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Nico will be signed in time to play against Tottenham. That’s all that matters. I’d put good money on him being on the pitch before tomorrow’s game. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Nico Gonzalez is a real ceiling lifter for us. Levels up Jaissle ball with and without the ball. If we even manage to get one more of similar calibre, we could be cooking this season. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Loved Will Osula’s tenacity off the ball yesterday, even with his knock. His decision making with the ball was much better too. Aye, he has his flaws, but he’s an absolute menace for opposition defenders. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Lewis Miley is him. What a player. He’s the next one that’s going to break my heart. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

My bio has been my bio since I created an account on here. I’ve always believed in Willock. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I hate the transfer window with a passion, so delighted the actual football is back. Feel like some people care more about shiny new players and ‘Bombas’ than they do about seeing the lads win at the weekend. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Lots of catastrophising after the pre-season friendlies. Club has already indicated its a year of transition. You don't set out a transition season if you're in a good spot. Coaching staff and players need time, but I'm confident we'll see a positive change over the season. We'll be alright. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Watching the first half of the community shield before our game, but seeing Bruno in that kit is making me feel sick. Going to be constant reminders across the league of our painful last two summers. Bruno, Isak, Tonali, Anderson, Minteh, Manzambi, Pedro, Sesko. The list goes on. #nufc

2110

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I’m feeling a lot more confident about #nufc after some logical thought. It’ll be a transition season for sure and we look massively undercooked right now, but nobody gets relegated in August. I’d expect steady improvement throughout the season. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Another day for slow Newcastle to get their business done. Hopefully Dedic is sorted out today, but huge worry that we've only signed one player since Howe left. Lots to do. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I didn’t understand why we wanted Hojbjerg/Palhinha, but it became obvious yesterday. Some experience and positional discipline in that midfield would help massively. Hopefully some progress on signings before the weekend. We can only hope. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Might be time to go and stare at the sun. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Murphy links to Everton still doing the rounds. Right time to sell, as he’s getting more frustrating to watch, but he’s been a great player in the Howe era. 41 goal and assists over the last 4 PL seasons. Same number as Anthony Gordon in more than 1000 less minutes… #nufc

6230

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Wissa looked sharp yesterday and liked the way he was organising the team on the pitch. Seems to be one of those stepping into the leadership void. Although I don’t think he is a captaincy candidate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him wear it at some point. Could be some turnaround. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Hope Elanga’s injury isn’t as bad as it looked. Reaction from players wasn’t good. Cowards challenge. Ball was barely in the same post code.

030

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

The last few days have been filled with optimism about Jaissle and club communication, then one link to Hojbjerg and it’s all doom and gloom again. What a club. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Newcastle 2.0 is fantastic corporate speak. Great to hear from someone senior though, even if Hopkinson tends to over promise. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Bruno bringing Kia into his team was a dodgy move, but don't agree with some of the abuse being directed his way. Bloke is nearly 29, has world class ability and we've just finished 12th. He'd probably need to be mental to stay if we're being honest. I'll remember him fondly. #nufc

6152

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Need at least another four signings on top of Hornicek. One unknown with Jaissle is how willing he’ll be to trust young players in a first team squad. If he is happy to trust Shahar/Murphy etc, it could reduce the number of signings needed. #nufc

380

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I’d expect a few more experienced names linked now. A PL team can only sign 6 players from abroad under the age of 21 each season. We’ve made five this summer (including the Levante lad) - can only sign one more of this profile. #nufc

310

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Losing Bruno in the short term sucks, but he has a lot of minutes in the legs. First big injury last season too. I’d not be surprised if his best football days are behind him/close to coming to an end. Although this could just be copium. #nufc

1170

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Encouraged by Hornicek being close to joining. Stats are really good, especially his actions outside of his area. Always one of Pope’s strengths in his early days, before he became too mental. 2/6 pens saved last season also good. Has confidence on the ball too from the tape I’ve seen. #nufc

2151

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

The worrying thing with Lewis Hall is that he's not among our top earners. Hasn't had a new deal since breaking into the first team. Man Utd will be offering to at least quadruple his salary. He'll want to go. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Jaissle will need to be a special bloke if he’s to come in and succeed. Couldn’t pick a tougher gig back in Europe. Immediately needs to navigate choppy waters, but feels a good fit for the direction we’re now going in. Needs time. #nufc

0100

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

What a mental morning. Never boring, is it? Best wishes to Eddie. Class manager, but right time for everyone to move on. Timing is shit, but better to end things now if one of the parties wasn’t fully invested. #nufc

0140

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

If we’d won 4-1, people would be saying it means nothing because it’s pre season. Definitely some worrying signs, but we have a whole spine of the team to come into the line up. Too early to worry in July, but lots of work to do. #nufc

390

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

If Bruno does go, it’ll be sad and impact us badly in the short term. However, this squad desperately needed a reset and some lower expectations for the coming season might help with the transition. Club moving in the right markets now, so might take a set back to take two forwards. #nufc

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Awful scenes at the darts this evening. Hope Menzies is alright. Days after the biggest win of his career as well. Poor lad, but health comes first.

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

The 3rd/4th play off is a farce, but if England want to try to fix the inferiority complex against more successful nations, a win over France would certainly help. Hope we go for it.

030

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

The worst thing about England losing last night is that the next football match I'll watch with skin in the game will feature Isak scoring at the Gallowgate End. Once I sight I loved... #nufc

2100

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Lots of good players in football. We just have to pivot now, but nobody can say that we aren’t very attractive at the moment. Going to have to take even bigger gambles on talent. Whatever you think of Howe, you can’t deny keeping him has impacted our pull. Club feels tired. #nufc

4100

Jake Jackman @jakejackman.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Social media is the pits these days. ‘Food chain’ and ‘small club’ jibes are boring. Such a superiority complex for some just because they support a richer club. #nufc
