Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 19/09/202620 plus shots against #NUFC again today, been a lot of noise around this number Interestingly the fewest shots against came in the Leeds game (14) in which we conceded twice as many goals as in any other league fixture Perhaps the stats aren’t telling us the full story when it comes to MJs tactics 3110
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The second half was always likely to pan out like that when Wissa missed the pen. Overall a big improvement from Monday and a solid start to the season, all things considered. Pens should always be taken by players who can strike the ball cleanly - possibly a job for Barnes or Schar. #NUFC 4120
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Being solid and numbers in midfield are probably the most important things on Saturday. We have to be winning second balls and need to reduce the pressure on a young midfiled. #NUFC 241
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026On a more positive note, that’s six games in a row NUFC have scored in. Not bad considering the team and manager are still a work in progress. 1100
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Always going to be a few games like that this season. All about how we respond on Saturday. Missing some leadership / physicality though. May need to play four or five across the midfield for a few games. #NUFC 070
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Not played well but the first and third goals were jammy. Test of the players and manager - would like to see Schar on. #NUFC 110
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Win our next two games and NUFC will go into the international break in 3rd. Unlikely but far from impossible. Four points would leave us in a healthy position with three weeks for MJ to work with the squad. Key couple of games. 0100
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Bruno’s small club mocking Forest fans singing ‘it’s all gone quiet over there’ at the The North Stand at Villa Park Been a while since football was funny 050
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 08/09/2026W3 D2 L0 And #NUFC yet to play well if truth be told. Not sure what to make of that but think we need to see more of Steur and are missing Osula. Midfield is a bit one dimensional and missing a genuine CF. 392
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Wonder what MFP is like at free kicks. We really haven’t had anybody who excels at deadballs for ages… and have regressed so far this season. Trips had his moments and 🚕 🇧🇷 was canny at corners, but that’s it really. Oh for a Solano, Cabaye or Robert. #NUFC 4240
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 05/09/2026#NUFC played ok. Gave the ball away cheaply first half but picked up in the second. Bournemouth were decent, if prone to falling over. Ref was a useless wanker. 0150
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 05/09/2026One of those games. Ref micro-decisions affecting the balance of play and conceded from two deflections. All to play for second half if the ref ‘balances things out’ and we STOP GIVING THE FUCKING BALL AWAY. #NUFC 030
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Be an excellent game to win tomorrow. Points on the board early in the season takes the pressure off and be a nice message to send pasta face. Could have done with Osula. #NUFC 2180
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Woltemade. Not going to make it in the PL unless he toughens up, learns how to rough up defenders and spends less time with his back to goal. Should get Shearer in to give him some lessons. #NUFC 1140
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Reports (semi credible) of a bid for Fernandez-Pardo. Get him and Nico González and that’s a good summer transfer window. Only another eight days of this shite to endure. #NUFC 0210
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Lots of positives today. Only Barnes didn’t do enough to keep his place, but that what he’s like when he starts games. That said, you could see the team tiring just before we conceded the first. If that’s how we are going to play every game 2-3 signings are essential. #NUFC 050
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Predictable end to a game against the favoured sons. 040
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Little spell today (before the second drinks break) when the team were playing with confidence. That apart all a bit meh again. Got some decent players but quality wise they’re all about on the same level. Desperately need a signing that raises the bar. #NUFC 160
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Any chance Jaissle has told the squad to take it easy in the friendlies / isn’t giving away his tactics so Varpool don’t know what’s coming? #NUFC 150
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Doesn’t look like we are going to get one new face over-the-line™️ this week. Clubs can get away with one bad summer in the transfer market, two in a row usually spells trouble. Need to sort thier shit out pronto. 040
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Interesting article on the dark side from @priceoffootball.bsky.social Last paragraph says it all really. 160
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Think we now have to go with experience for our first two games - can’t risk our new young players getting the confidence knocked out of them. Not going to popular but…. #NUFC 1350
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Defence was flakey most of last season and it doesn’t look like much has changed. Think I’d prefer to start the season with Burn and Schar in the centre. #NUFC 010
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Newcastle United’s revenues exceeded that of Spurs for the ten years prior to MA buying #NUFC The financial rules now in place prevent us from repairing the damage inflicted under his ownership. This isn’t the natural order of things, it’s an eternal punishment for once having a shit owner. 513527
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Really need at least one signing this week. #NUFC 170
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 10/08/2026First international break is 3 weeks long this season. Just play internationals on a Wednesday. 200
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Hopefully that’s the last of the big outgoings for this summer and we can focus on the people who want to be at #NUFC Good performance and decent result tonight would be a nice way to draw a line in the sand. HTL 060
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Last whinge about the new badge It’s neither a traditional heraldic crest nor a modern contemporary design. It’s a fudge borne out of a failed consultation process and not befitting of our club @nufctrust.bsky.social can you please engage with the support about this and feedback to the club #NUFC 10283
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 07/08/2026River. Castle. Magpie. Name Simple. Relevant. Easily modernised. Don’t need hippocampi doing dressage, meaningless shields, a flag nobody knows the origin of or a funking lion… WTF do lions have to do with #NUFC 8825
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 07/08/2026No green kit this year. That will annoy people who like to bang on about washing. #NUFC 150
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Should #NUFC take this ‘new start’ as an opportunity to quietly drop the post match team photo? It was a nice touch to begin with but grew tiresome after a few seasons. 10100
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Big content dump from #NUFC - three things stood out. There was a resolute and positive message, no half arsed best endeavour waffle. Any fear MJ comes from the Liam Rosenior school of self help books can be forgotten. The media team have upped their game. Just need to sign 3-4 players now. 0271
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Leon Goretzka is out of contract. Wage demands too high right now, but that may change as the season nears. 200
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Losing Bruno under Howe would have been a concern, but in many ways it’s now an opportunity to complete the much needed rebuild. Get another 3-4 players in and go into the season with new ideas, energy and a point to prove. Navigate a tough start and I’m optimistic. #NUFC 1180
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Arsenal’s tactics have clearly been to use sustained confusion to create a pressure point, so #NUFC are pushed into accepting a low ball bid. Hope the club tell them to do one and add £10m to thier asking price. 4190
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Would the Bruno transfer have been concluded quicker if the ‘intermediaries’ had kept their noses out and Arsenal had just contacted NUFC? 1100
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026What good did selling Isak do us? We banked some cash and then wasted most of it by overpaying for two forwards who contributed next to nothing. Selling your best players is never a good strategy. #NUFC 230
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026We put a bid in. Oh no you didn’t Oh yes we did. Bruno stuff is full on pantomime now. Fuck off or stay put. Don’t care much which at this point, just get on with it. #NUFC 0100
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Princess Di Tonali Bruno Hall Big Joe #NUFC can’t sell half the first team and won’t. They do though need to shut this fire sale narrative down right now. 0140
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Zero developments on the Bruno front today, essentially been at the thinking about making a bid stage for a month now. If NUFC do sell him we should make getting Nørgaard and Nwaneri on loan a condition of sale. Addresses a couple of needs and takes the pressure off this seasons kitty. 130
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I’m not an advocate of medieval punishments but would happily see people who start social media posts with Exclusive 💣 burnt at the stake. 470
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Should probably be more animated about our summer so far but very much not. The team had lost momentum and change is no bad thing in such circumstances. Been a good five years, time for the next chapter. #NUFC 080
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 29/07/2026About 36 hours until BG is expected back at NUFC. Be a flurry of shite about bids tomorrow then reality sets in. Hard to know which way it goes, but he won’t do a 🐀💩 and the worst champions this century are stingy bastards. 160
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Waste of time getting worked up about early pre season friendlies. Doubly so in a World Cup year. Gutted for (and about) Schar. Still one of our most important players. #NUFC 0251
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Does agreeing terms before a transfer fee is accepted mess with players heads? It must make them more prone to throwing a huff if the move doesn’t happen. #NUFC 530
Matt Black @jazzstandard.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Nowt new, but the bias in the language never stops being irritating. The deal depends on how much the buying club bid. Always trying to paint NUFC as being difficult. 020
