I’m away to pick Elliot Anderson up.

The key difference is Russia were banned after several nations refused to play them. It was then that they were banned. That hasn’t happened with Israel (yet) so UEFA have not taken the same steps.

All of this is why it would kill me if he went to Man Utd and I’d actively want him to do badly 😆. Love Howe and want it to remain that way. #nufc

The whole of the bipolar post-match analysis we’ve witnessed hung on getting two moments right. The penalty and Thiaw’s composure when he crossed the ball. That’s the fine margins in the PL. #nufc

The last six days I think will be a microcosm for the whole season. Some displays where we look like what we are, a team going through transition then bouncing back to get the win. #nufc

No idea how the BBC have concocted this headline from a nonsense article in which Ben Jacobs says it is still possible we sell Hall. The club are not quoted at all in the original article yet the press are still peddling the story. #nufc

Stop it with the “got away with that one” narrative. Lucky to go in 2-1 at half time but value for a draw in the end. #nufc

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Bournemouth home next weekend a real test and I think more of an indicator of where we are. #nufc

My sources with the flu say fee and terms agreed. Gonzalez due to arrive tomorrow morning for medical with media shoots in the afternoon. #nufc

Bluesky Geordies. Anyone know when we need to register Gonzalez by (if he signs) for him to play in the cup match on Wednesday? #nufc

For a while I’ve been thinking that Tonali is one of those footballers who doesn’t really like football, so when he is off, he’s really off. #nufc

Foolishly went onto the other place to have a look what’s being said. Lock the door and throw away the key. #nufc

Martin Rix @martinlrix.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Unless something is happening behind the scenes, the squad for Sun is as it was yesterday. If anyone was to sign and register in the next 1/2 hour I’m sure something would have leaked, even if just arriving for a medical. Might be a good thing, as the squad as is have been preparing all week. #nufc

Given that #NUFC have just acquired Woolsington Hall, I doubt his cousin Lewis will be going to Man United

I foresee an emergency Premier League meeting being called to expedite new rules that limit spending on training ground and academy infrastructure to 5% of the club's 1974 turnover, applicable to any Premier League club within 50 miles of the Scottish border. #nufc

Martin Rix @martinlrix.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

We’re acting like we’re two games from relegation and it’s all rather silly. Not seeing many teams doing much in the transfer market and I think the greed of agents, players and clubs is catching up with PL rules and what buying clubs are willing to spend, with a couple of exceptions. #nufc

Martin Rix @martinlrix.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

The difficulty the club are probably facing is they have, when fit, two of the best young full backs in the country, so you are likely trying to bring in players who know they will largely be playing second fiddle once both are at full fitness. #nufc

Great pressing from Toure who has looked alright. Wissa, near and tidy finish and could have had a second. Steur looks class. #nufc

Martin Rix @martinlrix.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

It’s not working for Big Nick. Too many attempts at clever passes that don’t come off. Needs to do the simple stuff well and at the moment he tries to bypass that. At the moment is the definition of a luxury player. #nufc

FFS. Red card to Valencia but more worried about Elanga going off this way #nufc

Again, VAR and a penalty but this is only a friendly (not that you’d have known that from the challenge). #nufc

Martin Rix @martinlrix.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Don’t know enough about Steur whether he can be the player who can unlock a defence but we clearly still need that in midfield. All the hooha about Tonali and Bruno - they weren’t capable of it. #nufc

Liking the look of Bamba. Might need to hit the gym for the PL but likes to get stuck in and instantly looking to play the ball forwards #nufc

Martin Rix @martinlrix.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

And that, my friends, is why preseason friendly results don’t matter a jot. Not a single player cared that it was wrongly given as offside and nor should we. #nufc

These links/signings are the kind where the club can’t win. Go into the season without any experience and people will moan. Sign experience, for a reasonably low fee, and people will moan. #nufc

Two other things are also possible at the same time. A player leaving a football club and fans not acting like someone has just run over their dog on purpose. #nufc

Martin Rix @martinlrix.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Two things can be true at once. Losing Bruno will be a huge blow. Also, when he goes the sky won’t fall on our heads. #nufc
