Typical scrappy derby affair first half for the lasses at Durham, quality at a premium but what there was all coming from Newcastle. A goal to the good anyway, I expect the lasses to turn the screw second half and end up with a comfortable win over what has been a bogey side in recent seasons.

It was very nice to watch #England play with actual fullbacks as fullbacks tonight. Our own Lewis Hall was one of the best players on the pitch. Said it before, O’Reilly is a talented footballer but never a fullback.

Two things can be true: 1) financial rules that PL clubs had to adhere to & currently have to adhere to are not fit for purpose and hobble ambition. 2) Man City’s cheating was obscene and any punishment that doesn’t see them out of contention for any honours for at least a decade would be a let off

The lasses put four past the opposition again. 4-0, but was generally tighter than that suggests until the second was put in. After that it could’ve been a cricket score. The players brought in over the summer have lifted the quality by some distance. Four wins from four, they’ll take some stopping.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

For all the attacking talent at #England’s disposal, drop off to the back four is a real issue. Not one of them fills me with confidence. Tuchel wants his head read if he doesn’t replace O’Reilly with Hall (if he’s fit) in future. Gave the World Champs a real game, but a for a slip could have won.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Guehi horror moment aside, #England have been very decent that first 45. Some lovely link up play, with Gordon featuring heavily. Been a cracking match so far. O’Reilly is a lovely footballer, but I still don’t buy him as a left back. Can forgive Quansah on the right, with the lack of options.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

If anyone is fantasising about #NUFC getting Anderson back to toon off the City guilty verdict, just remember how long it has taken to get to this stage. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was retired by the time the appeals process runs its course and any punishment served.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I wonder if some of our injury woes are in part due to physical demands of the type of football MJ wants to play. We had to some degree pivoted away from that over the past 2 seasons. Came in with only 3 weeks to implement, maybe some players are breaking down under the strain of playing catch up?

000

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Phew! Naivety nearly cost #NUFC. Need to learn how to slow a game down. All a learning curve and a lesson that still results in three points is a good lesson. Thank god for a three week break, racking up the injuries.

010

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

And now we have a game on our hands 🤦‍♂️ #NUFC

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

#NUFC in excellent first half display shock! Should’ve been done and dusted, but for a great pen save it would’ve been. Please same again second half, to let them back in from here after near total domination first 45 would be a travesty.

010

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Well, this is quite the reaction from the lads!!!! My dad is going today on my seasonticket. He’s often been a lucky charm. Guess I’ll have to stay away more often! #NUFC

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Putting aside the irony of Tory complaining about government cutting council funding, Wandsworth pay less than 40% council tax for an equivalent property to mine. Average wage is 50% higher in Wandsworth than where I am. It’s a joke they got away with it so long.

A row is growing over Wandsworth Council's rise, which the local authority is blaming on government funding cuts.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

That’s not a great draw. Not the worst draw, just not a great one. Play like we did Monday night and no draw would be, of course. #NUFC

040

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Ramsey injured in the warm up. Although some seem to be reluctant to accept that. Not everything is a conspiracy. “Why have him on the bench?” - he felt thigh in the warm up. Maybe they hoped it would settle and he could still play a part, but when we went three down decided not to risk it? #NUFC

140

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Well, that was absolutely rotten. Some hard thinking needed from MJ over the next few days. Will be no Nico on Saturday as that’s a concussion. Steur and Miley in the middle appears it would be an error for now. MFP hugely disappointing, back to the bench you’d think. #NUFC

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Last goal wins lads, didn’t we mention that? #NUFC

010

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

The looseness that #NUFC got away with the last few games was right royally punished tonight. Misfortune on some of the goals, but they enabled that misfortune. Midfield wide open after Nico off. Barely able to get any positive moves going in an attacking sense. Back to the drawing board for MJ.

010

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Mind, the support from the #NUFC fans in the away end has been quality. 4 down and still singing away.

050

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

A flukey goal to start things off, but fallen apart since then. Needed to get to half time just two-down to stand a chance, but the game has well and truly gone now. Second half just about trying to not get humiliated now. Sigh. #NUFC

010

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Got a horrible feeling we might come unstuck tonight. Hope I’m wrong. If we do, the it’s important to remember that progress is not linear and this is a young group learning as they go. Looking forward to see Fernandez-Pardo start. Think we’ve got a star there. #NUFC

000

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Oh, alright then. He’s forgiven. 😂

011

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The lasses make it two wins out of two. A hard fought, but deserved 1-0 win. Hearts in mouths when Bristol City were denied a stoppage time equaliser due to offside. The final ball wasn’t quite there at times tonight, but there’s definitely an improvement in attacking incisiveness this season so far

000

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Not an inspiring performance, but got it over the line. Lack of cutting edge from #NUFC gave a pretty poor Millwall side a chance. Not sure what the droning noise was about, like ‘Geordie Vuvuzela’ chant if you removed any humour. If I was a player I wouldn’t have found it particularly intimidating.

000

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Flat 1st half again, probably means better second half. Dominated possession, but created little & let them come into it. Millwall are not a good side, so there can be no excuses from #NUFC at the end of the tie if they don’t put them away. We REALLY lack anyone who can take a decent set piece.

010

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

That’s a very strong #NUFC side, with options from the bench. Makes sense, no Europe and too early in the season to be fully rotating. Got 6 days until our next game. Hoping for a relatively pain free evening. Milwall had a good win at the weekend, but had a couple of heavy losses prior to that.

011

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Good start to the season for the lasses: 2-0 up at HT. Could’ve easily been more. Against a newly promoted side and only one half of football to base this on, but they look like they’ll be much more of a goal threat this season compared to last.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Anyone else sat in the Gallowgate (top tier in particular) find that the speakers are incredibly loud this season? It’s hard to have a conversation before the match/half time. It actually hurts a bit to be honest, it’s that loud. #NUFC

200

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Danny Murphy wondering why Jacob Murphy felt the need to do a comedy dive through the air shows why Danny Murphy probably shouldn’t be analysing football. Clearly wasn’t paying any attention to the rest of the game, where you wondered what it would take for the ref to give a foul in #NUFC’s favour.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Poor first 45, very good 2nd - deserved point. Never underestimate the positive about coming from 2 down to get a result. Subs were excellent, especially Steur/Ramsey getting their foot on the ball & progressing us. Fernandez-Pardo looks like we have a real player - tenacious, fast & skilful. #NUFC

160

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Sad that Big Nick appears to be on his way out (albeit temporarily for now). He just doesn’t fit with how we play and if this move gets him at least into the shop window then that’s a good thing. There’s definitely a player there. Fernandez-Pardo seems like he’s a significantly better fit for #NUFC.

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Outstanding result, I just can’t get over the fact we managed a clean sheet! Poor Sandro… #NUFC

Away for the weekend, following along via social media…the “YESSSS!” I let out in York Wagamama was louder than I expected. Get in Elanga lad!! #NUFC

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Millwall away. Could be a lot worse, but won’t be straightforward. Top of the Championship, two wins out of two (like WBA). #NUFC

030

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Got it over the line. First half performance was odd, all over them then it suddenly switched. Toure disappointing despite scoring, I expected take ons. 2nd half #NUFC were the better team. Not seen the handball, but from where I was it looked harsh. Harvey Barnes scores goals

010

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Been quite excited about tonight’s match, Sunday certainly whetted the appetite for football again. There’ll be personnel changes tonight, but have an inkling MJ won’t want to risk things too much and chuck a load of kids in from the start. #NUFC

130

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Barring any unexpected last minute hitches, it sounds like Nico G is just about through the door for #NUFC. By jingo, things look like they are actually coming together! Following a very positive performance at the weekend with a quality key signing at a ‘low’ price (in this market) is ace.

030

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Hard not to feel utterly aggrieved, again, by that end result. However, taking the positives it looks like we have a bit about us this season. Good performances all over the pitch. #NUFC

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Not inclined to be optimistic about our chances this afternoon. A spanking and 🐀 hattrick wouldn’t be a shock. But that Liverpool side has holes in it, so you never know. #howaythelads #NUFC

That letter from the Keegan family, man. Lovely of them to say thanks, but it hits hard. As someone who has lost a parent (and all my grandparents) I know their pain. I’m sure the tribute today will be fitting for such an exceptional man.

Well, there’s your training ground update. ✅ £190m. Looks like intent from the owners to me. #NUFC

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Now up to half a dozen #NUFC signings, with more sought. We’d be remarkably fortunate if all hit the ground running, so this coming season could be a slow burner. Especially given our challenging fixtures early doors. If the new lads turn out to be good signings, we could well shock a few doubters.

260

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Pre-season concludes with another fairly underwhelming performance. Struggling to score, conceding stupid goals. Strasbourg are not a good side. A couple of years ago we would’ve likely dispatched them with ease. We are probably looking at a rough start to the season, given our fixtures. #NUFC

020

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Decamped from my usual Gallowgate spot to see how the other half live in the Milburn posh seats. Didn’t make the football any brighter, sadly. For me, we look undercooked and certainly not ready for a PL game next weekend. Defensive lapses persist, creating chances & taking them a concern. #NUFC

Steven Medd @stevenmedd.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

An observation whilst at the match yesterday: the number of new away shirts worn by #NUFC fans against new home shirts was at least 5:1 from what I saw. It is usually the other way. A snapshot of how the respective shirts are being received by the fanbase.
