played Aston Villa in the championship. Of the team that started that day, 7 current Newcastle players started.
NONE of the Aston Villa players that started that day are with the club now.
Eddie is not the problem. Ashley still is.
Don’t support either

Yet the ‘ super ‘ six are fined just 3.6m for trying to destroy football.

🚨🏴 BREAKING: Premier League charges Nottingham Forest and Everton with breaching financial rules.
Clubs facing points deductions charged by Premier League with breaching profit & sustainability rules.
Second charge this season for Everton, docked 10 points in November.
Eddie Howe took a year out of the game to learn how to be a better manager. He traveled home and abroad in that time just to study other managers methods. I love that, and I love that it is
#nufc
that are reaping the rewards.
What sort of a country do we live in where a man who is forced to resign from his job in disgrace for lying is allowed to promote his mates and dish out ‘honours’ on his way out?
I honestly give up. This is one screwed up country.
Dear
@SkySportsNews
, if you’re going to have pundit’s comment on
#NUFC
, at least get some that actually played for the club. With Merson (ex villa) and Bent (ex mackem) you’re getting dangerously close to talkSPORT standard of broadcasting, that’s when I cancel my subscription.
- relegation threatened
- no player investment
- 14 yrs of obscurity
- stadium falling apart
- disenfranchised fan base
- uninterested owner
- poor manager
- no investment in facilities
I’m so grateful to the
@premierleague
for ‘protecting’ our club from poor ownership.
#nufc
Point of order;
Newcastle United have not won 3 Premiership games in a row since 2018.
Steve Bruce has not won 3 Premiership games in a row since 2009.
The defence rests.

I’ve unashamedly earned this. 25 years of some real lows as an ST holder, many £s spent & miles trodden. Sometimes I almost jacked it in, the ONLY thing that kept me going was the points I’d earned and the hope that one day, just maybe, what if? and here we are. Priority 1

We are fans of a club that has been picking crumbs off the table while the elite clubs gorge themselves on fillet steak from the cash cow.

As we go into another season with no investment, poor facilities & an uninterested owner. I’m reminded to be thankful to

Without their protection we might have been facing £550 million of investment for our club & city. Phew! Close one!

If it’s true that Trippier says that he’s not concerned by our relegation plight, then that’s all the more reason to get him. That’s exactly the attitude we need.

#MUFC
is a 52,000 sell out. It’s always a TV fixture, and it’s usually a good game.
It is no coincidence that sky chose this particular game for its first ever PPV. It’s exploitation of the huge fan bases of both clubs. Its scandalous.
Given the reaction by the top clubs in relation to the takeover I think Newcastle fans can feel perfectly vindicated about their cartel accusations over the last 18 months.
#NUFC
Imagine being the player who scored the goal who got a professional football club from one of Britain’s biggest cities promoted at just 19.
That’s going to set you up for a great career.
Elliot Anderson is never going to want for a pint of cider when visiting Bristol.

Everton are ripe for the taking on February 8th. Don’t care who is their manager, we’re on the front foot and with the lights on at SJP I think we’ll do the business over them.

Rumours of a possible West Ham takeover in the news today.
#nufc
fans will be keeping a close eye on this. Will they go through the same level of scrutiny and delay as Newcastle? Of course not, they’re based in London, and the

won’t shit on their own doorstep.
Botman was chomping at the bit to come to us January. He may fancy AC Milan (what professional wouldn’t) but I’ve no doubt if he joins us, he won’t regret it - not many do.

Unelected ex leaders choosing unelected peers to the upper chamber of our political system?
And they claim the EU is undemocratic!
The UK is not a democracy. This has to change.
Ashworth won’t fix Man U. Their problem isn’t players, managers or owners .
It’s their fans. As we’re seeing on sm. Their levels of entitlement are off the scale. It’s why they’re still bitter about Alan Shearer for having the audacity to turn them down.
#nufc
Would Kevin Keegan go on holiday in the week before we play Manchester United?
Would Bruce go on holiday if he was manager of his beloved Man U?
And the pundits wonder why we can’t stand the man. He has no respect for

Remember, elite clubs of ‘project big picture’ actually requested the power to veto would-be buyers of rival clubs! And we’re supposed to believe they didn’t influence the

Sixty percent of all premier league revenue is shared amongst the big six

And people wonder why we say the

The humility coming from

fans being shown is something to behold. We all know how bad that performance was. No sympathy for Spurs though, if they hadn’t help stop our takeover we would have been more competitive today.
#Karma
The investment
@PIF_en
would bring wouldn’t make any difference to areas near Arsenal, Chelsea or even West Ham. It would have been a boost for an entire region if delivered to Newcastle. What an opportunity missed, all because it doesn’t suit already very rich people.

#ApproveTheSale
Keegan brought us the Entertainers. Sir Bobby brought us the Entertainers mark II. Both made SJP into a fortress.
I have a feeling Eddie Howe might be a manager in this mould. Bring Geordies attacking free flowing football and you will have a 12th man at every game.

#htl
They’re the only ‘fans’ I know that think getting rid of Rafa Benítez and replacing him with Steve Bruce is in the ‘best interests of the club’. They have vested interest. Shola is an employee and carver wants to be one. That’s the reality here.
#nufc
Let's make one thing crystal. Shola Ameobi and John Carver are Newcastle United fans who want the best for the club. Just because they happened to be at SBR golf day yesterday, they were asked for views on things and are both getting slated as far as I can see for not being.. 1/2

This is not football. The

There are some old farts like me who have been lucky enough to see us challenge at the top before on a couple of occasions. But it’s just great to see the new generations tasting this for the first time.

This reminds me of the Saudi takeover of Sheffield United when all the outraged PL clubs had an ‘anyone but Sheff U’ policy. 🤔
Oh sorry, they didn’t happen, because those Saudis didn’t have a bottomless pit of cash.
Southampton were in league one during the early years of Ashley’s tenure. Now Steve wants us to be grateful that we’re within a point of them?? Can’t wait to see the back of him and his paymasters. 😡

Tomorrow we celebrate the end of the season that we finally rid ourselves of that parasite. For me, the last six months have been the most enjoyable since Bobby took us to the CL.
A weight has been lifted and the shackles are off, watch us go.

If my mathematics is correct, that means you benefited from a Labour government and their policy of making university available to everyone.

Just imagine: one day you’re in the 3rd division and your biggest rivals become the richest club in the world.
What a nightmare that would be!
I bet Graeme Jones is looking forward to swapping St George’s Park for Darsley Park. It must be like swapping the Savoy Hotel with Kenton Bar travel lodge.
#nufc
Buying experienced quality players is not unusual (Cavani, Ronaldo ?). It’s just that we’ve had 14 years of a regime that would rather get relegated than risk buying a player with no sell on value. Those days are gone.
Ramsey and Trippier would be great buys for us.

✅ Veto for selected clubs to stop takeovers of other clubs.
✅ An unbreakable top six.
✅ Newcastle excluded from the selected clubs.
Call me suspicious, but that sounds like someone trying to discourage a buyer away from

Current situation at
#nufc
bears all the hallmarks of 2008. Then manager Alan Shearer verbally agreed 3 year contract offer, at the same time being told sale of club was imminent. Fans & media frozen out, radio silence from Ashley regime. I hope history is not repeating itself.
1) Make club look financially poor
2) relay a ‘we can’t compete at top’ narrative (despite competing at top regularly for previous 15 yrs)
3) Lower fan expectations to a level where staying in league is a success
4) Advertise own businesses for free. 5) repeat

They could have bought any London club anyway. But they didn’t.

Or
