In light of Man City news: a proposal! City beat #nufc and Sunderland that year, robbing the world of a Tyne Wear derby in a cup final (IMAGINE!!). I say every derby day henceforth is a cup final with claim to the 2014 League Cup at stake. It should pass back and forth like the ashes urn. Discuss

youtu.be/MxcZ3z5t_gQ?... Outstanding. Sums up the justifiable optimism beautifully. Dismantles the broken system eloquently: "fans don't turn up for 'effective player trading', they don't get a stiffy for a player to increase their future value..." I may have paraphrased. 😅

I'm struggling with football having been a fan of 34 years. Always knew it isn't healthy to have happiness hang on something you cannot effect, but god how could you not fall madly in love with it when there's Kevin Keegan drawing you in with his unique siren song? Passion. Fierce passion. Pride.

Absolutely devastating news that Kevin Keegan has passed away. Simply the greatest person involved with #NUFC in my lifetime. God bless the Keegan family and thank you for sharing him with us. We loved him.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

Preface: I ❤️ Eddie. Gave me my best day. Saved us. Big results against allllll of em (bar 🍒 😅😂), etc. Question: At the weekend I argued drunkenly, and yet beautifully, that maybe, just maybe, Bruno Guimaraes has made Edward John Frank Howe look good, and maybe better than he is. You reckon? #nufc

"Elite level tactical planning and execution... only managers in the upper echelons of football are capable of." Vs "Season ending on field mismanagement... tactical misreading and insufficient adaptation." You can see why opinion on Howe is so split. 🤷 #nufc A great vid @adamclery.bsky.social 👏

The parallels with the winner tonight and Dwight Gayle’s against Norwich in the 4-3 championship match are stark! Right down to the keeper palming it over the line. The difference between losing touch and being in touching distance both then and now. Fan-fucking-tastic man. #nufc 🤩

Mike Perren @mikeperren.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Miley’s winner last night goes to VAR for a Woltemade offside you know. Beyond the keeper with one defender goal side, stood in the centre of the goal. Without VAR though, no complaints. I have a larger point to make but needs more characters than are permitted. 😅😂 Glad it was allowed. #HTL #nufc

Isak still not saying anything complimentary re #nufc Bought for what was thought an overspend, arrived before UCL or cup finals, went on to fire us to two UCL campaigns, two cup finals, scoring the winner in one, and not sold for a loss like expected but sold for a RECORD FEE to the CHAMPIONS. 🤷‍♂️

Every game has the potential to be the most memorable match of your attending life and that you look back on full of nostalgia and teary-eyed. EVERY match. An innocuous match at home to Leicester in 1997 may be my current fave. But this game has more potential than most. GET INTO THEM!!! #nufc

Mike Perren @mikeperren.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Who was the journalist that criticised NUFC for spending so much on Isak? Pretty much saying we’re the only club that would spend so much? Anyone remember or that kept the receipts? 🤔

Mike Perren @mikeperren.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Saying because it isn’t being said enough: He pulled out of the game that would have seen #nufc go second with a win. Arsenal away he downed tools. NOT preseason in a meaningless friendly… But the game of the league season. It didn’t suit him either for NUFC to finish second, or Arsenal to lose. 😮

#MUFC fans have no right to be so upset. The Glazer's own the club, they can do what they like with it. If the fans are that bothered, they should round up their own money and buy the club themselves.
