There's no autumn weekly routine that works when there's no club football on. It's acceptable in the summer. There's other stuff to do and transfer windows etc. This? It's just going on and on. Still 12 more days. #NUFC

Jack Walker would have had to cheat too if he hadn’t pre-dated the FFP rules. There’s a bigger picture here about the sustainability of a league in which the great majority of clubs are effectively prevented from competing. #nufc

Nearly an hour and a half this morning crawling in traffic from Hexham to North Tyneside. Governments should be incentivising WFH. Clear the roads, turn the offices into homes, give parents the flexibility to be home for their kids. Give people time back for gyms, walks etc

Naughty City etc but I still think it's really weird that our football industry has outlawed owner investment but you can crank up the cost of a seat or turf out real fans for tourists and execs and that's fine. Only poor people are allowed to pay for success. #nufc

The "Newcastle eyebrows raised" refers to no one at the club. Only: "...his comments to ITV have raised eyebrows among some Newcastle fans .." (in the last paragraph, naturally). No actual "Newcastle" quotes included. #NUFC

It is devastating to hear that hardly a quarter of the nurdles that fell into the River Tyne have been recovered That does not diminish the incredible efforts of volunteers who have given up their time to support the clean-up. Without their dedication, the recovery operation would have been slower

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.

Imagine the extra shite Spuds could buy with another 50m. If recent Prem years have taught us anything - it's that there is no correlation between Spuds spending money, having good players, not having good players, having any manager whatsoever ...and not being sh*t.

Incredible to remember that when Facebook launched it was a timeline entirely made up of what you and your friends were doing/seeing/thinking/photographing - and it was posted in sequence in real time and stayed in that order as new posts were added to the top. Your whole timeline.

Can we agree that when Man City were being naughty they played lots of teams...and some clubs missed out on trophies.... and things happened in games they were involved in...and there were probably knock on effects, qualifications yadda yadda. ...and then move on cos it's already tedious. #NUFC

American sports scandals are "you secretly spent more money than everyone else" and English sports scandals are "you secretly spent as much money as the teams that are supposed to spend more than everyone else"

On a fairly regular basis I see people on social media clearly using their phone to suggest that unlike everyone else they don't actually use their phone - they just read books.

If Besitkas president says they want Willock but fear he will sign a new #NUFC contact then they are absolutely NOT saying he will leave in January. It appears that they *HOPE* they can still buy him. Wondering if the can/could/will here have fallen victim to Reach PLC's sketch translation again.

Horseshit Keane: "He is maturing, and his confidence must be sky-high. He was excellent tonight. What defines you as a top player, is your end product. The talent is all there, but he has to become a main man as a player." Nothing of any coherent sense re #NUFC impact.

The amount of water that comes out of most supermarket meat is nothing but a cheap con trick and an absolute scandal. Batch cooking sauces and spending half an hour boiling off the water produced by the meat.

Chron headline. Did editor spot error? No. Does it get spotted before it's cut and pasted into social media? No. Did they spot it afterwards? No. Still up there. Does Reach PLC even give a fuck? Obviously no. #NUFC

When all these regs were first brought in I thought the main idea of being 'sustainable' was to stop clubs from over-burdening themselves with debt rather than stopping clubs from spending who could afford to spend....
