Excellent today, so impressed. Great goals, organised performance. Loads of positives. Enjoying the start to the Jaissle era almost as much as Mrs B. #NUFC

Obv it’s early days, but it’s feeling exciting around #NUFC now. At the very least, Jaissle has done well to assuage those initial concerns regarding his appointment. He seems up to the job. Tactically flexible and the right sort of personality. Long may it continue 🙏🏽

My latest for The Spectator, on the bane of estate agents: spectator.com/article/why-...

Why do estate agents make buying a house so painful?
What I hadn’t fully appreciated was how stress would arrive before I’d even made it through a front door.

I’ve gone from being terrified of the new season to being strangely excited for it. Would love to see Scalvini, Stiller and a right winger arrive, and switch the formation to 4-2-3-1. #NUFC

I wanted Howe gone, sure. But I wanted him gone properly, with some dignity, a handshake and a thank you, at the end of last season, and with plenty of time to recruit a replacement. This is a mess. #NUFC

You can say it’s pre-season all you want, but there is something seriously wrong at #NUFC. Transfer activity is just one item on a long list of issues at the club. We will be lucky to match 12th this season if things don’t change radically.

I think, after the brusing season we've just had, it's fine to skeptical. I'm worried about this summer. But I'd be delighted to be proven wrong. Would love to see some clever business. Gordon deal is a good start. Let's see it reinvested wisely please #NUFC

Howe probably should go for his own sake, to be fair. He looks downtrodden. Needs a rest and a move closer to home. History will reflect kindly on his time at Newcastle. Some special memories, but it’s not working anymore. Time to shake hands. Let someone else have a go #NUFC
