#nufc fans Logo changes so little most people wouldn’t notice: “That’s disgusting I’m never buying owt from them again” Moving to a new stadium to help the club “Ne way man, they’d have to rename St James’s Metro station” Lads… can we just try to be a bit more open minded to change?

When are the news shows going to ask reform voters to denounce the actions of Danny T… or apologise for his actions? Cos I can only imagine how quickly they’d be all over the nearest religious establishment (not the churches) to ask this if one of their attendees went nuts with a knife

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

Who teaches their kids that different human lives are worth more/less depending upon their immigration status/race/origins? Like seriously, who gets their kid on a megaphone calling for the death of innocent people on boats? UK politicians promote what they permit. Call these d-heads out

If you think closing an RNLI station is a victory for your cause, you might want to question your cause. These volunteers risk their lives to save lives, regardless of their origin/class/ethnicity/gender. If you think poor people on dinghies are less human than you, you’re wearing your racism

Liz Truss is the Prime Ministerial equivalent of Ali Dia of Premier League fame. She was as much a mega-brained Economic strategist as Ali was George Weah’s cousin…

Legitimate concerns are only legitimate if they are based upon factual context. On asylum..Unless you think it’s factual that their presence is making you unsafe. The only way to make this legitimate is to show that they are more dangerous than anyone else in similar socioeconomic conditions.

I mean would you guys be shocked if Reform took £12m from a known drug lord and then changed its legislative agenda on drug offences in its manifesto? Is handing crypto-launderers golden ticket policies after they’ve donated record sums not the same thing? They have no principles… mercenaries

My Grandma used to tell me that we were related to Grace Darling, the girl whose selfless actions led to the formation of the #RNLI I don’t think that young lady stopped to check the immigration status of the people she saved… if you believe all human life matters, you’d not care either

If, as an #NUFC fan if you rewind the clock by a month… you know you have: Liverpool (h), Spurs (a) Bournemouth (h) as the first 3 games. I offer you 5pts… you’d snap my hand off. Don’t lie to yourself

Don’t know why everyone seems annoyed at the kick off time for #nufc today… as a Georgie abroad, 3:30pm is perfect! Bournemouth fans… long old trip for a morning, at least the club has discounted the bar bill though

Newcastle United take on league game number two in what is going to be an interesting and exciting season of guesswork for fans and foes of #nufc alike. A fresh look, new players to fall in love with, a manager with a reputation to build and hopefully some great wins on the way. Optimism for life

Mr P @mr-pick.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
I see Liverpool completed their Wordle on the last attempt again. Lucky? Perhaps. Got help from a third party? Maybe. #nufc can be proud of their performance, tenacious and with clear intention to lure them in and hit on the break. I’ll take 2-2 against them regardless

Mr P @mr-pick.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
So it’s the beginning of the #nufc season. Newcastle 2.0. Please remember: - patience is needed - being a supporter requires you to play your part “support” - looking at the results from yesterday I guess nobody knows what this season will bring (we can still dare to dream) Enjoy celebrating KK

He can’t even turn up to Clacton on by-election results day… predictable excuse “police told me not to”… predictable response from the police “nobody has advised any candidate not to attend”… what a massive loser, even if he has won against a bunch of “nobodies”

Ah #EddieHowe left. I’m actually only annoyed at the timing, this could’ve been sorted in June. I don’t think he has had much to do with the transfers in/out (may be why he’s off?) so hopefully replacement has time to work with the squad. Don’t forget last season (PL) we were utterly crap.

Newcastle seemingly lose out on another target after agreeing terms… I understand fan’s frustration but the reality is this one was obviously happening as the player was clearly stalling for time throughout. We have to accept that these players are using us to negotiate better offers elsewhere.

I don’t want to get my hopes up but what an opportunity to put Farage in the BIN…Let’s hope the sane people of Clacton make their vote COUNT… shove true democracy in his toady FACE.

Reform voters fall into two broad categories… 1.) the actual bigots who prioritise racism as something they vote for 2.)The people who want change and have been persuaded that this is the only route to achieve it People in category 2 almost certainly have little clue about what policies Reform have

Things £5m gifts to Nigel Farage are for: 1.) Security for attacks that hadn’t occurred yet 2.) Brexit getting done (way before the payment) Things it wasn’t for 1.) Influencing him to become an MP 2.) Influencing his policies once he became an MP Gotcha

Do you think we will get to the stage where all the Trump cultists who think he’s playing 3D chess will actually come to realise he’s playing snakes and ladders and doesn’t know how to use dice?

I wish Trump would just shut the f up… this isn’t how you negotiate, not how you make deals and certainly not how you crawl out of a bin fire of your own making. Bully boy tactics are just not going to work on an entrenched regime you’ve failed to bomb out of existence. Someone confiscate his phone

1 man benefits from a continuation of this Iran conflict, he goes to jail once he’s no longer prime minister, he’s prime minister until his nation is no longer at war. Why is it that we are being held at the whims of a war hungry spineless killer of innocent people?

Got rid of Bondi for failing to prosecute his enemies quickly enough. This is the difference between a sane president and a maniacal one… when his mates are prosecuted it’s because law exists to prohibit their actions… Bondi was tasked with inventing cases to pin on DJT’s former friends and enemies

Trump spends 2025 distorting and destroying US historic alliances, cosying up with the man who has pushed to destabilise various European nations. Pushing trade barriers up as some sort of sword of manipulation, causing tensions and uncertainty. 2026, following bleating about the Nobel Peace Prize1/

Can we stop the “tax avoiders” crap about Brits who move to Dubai. If you move to any country in the world you pay income tax in that country. Yes in Dubai it’s 0%. The cost of living is so much higher that nobody sane would think a move for tax purposes would be a benefit financially overall.

Love that the greens won this one… Why? Am I a Green voter? Not typically I think this reassures me of two things a.) I was right about Labour losing (rather than gaining) voters due to toxic right leaning comms b.) A hopeful message won despite a really big push from the usuals for hate
