I genuinely feel bad for the England players & fans. They went into this tournament with the best squad on paper. Had they had an attacking, front-foot manager instead of Southgate, they win this tournament. No argument. Anthony Gordon, a dynamic winger, played 1 minute. I'm.

Eddie Howe appreciation tweet: . Since the Tonali ban, Howe has had to pick from a depleted squad for every game. Players have been constantly dropping out & it's usually for months rather than weeks. It's been such a frustrating season & yet he hasnt lost his cool once. Guys

"Only people from Newcastle can be passionate about supporting this club". I've seen a lot of this and I actually understand the mentality behind it. Football is tribal and people from afar can be looked at with confusion. But for me at the start, Newcastle was just a Football

Can we give some credit to the big man? Burn has been a rock at the back since being pulled in from left back. He's doing the simple things, winning duels, reading the game and doing the last-ditch stuff as well. Other players will grab the headlines, but BDB has just been

Literally, every Newcastle fan on earth predicted a much tougher campaign this year. Which is proving to be the case. 3 of the new arrivals can't get a start at the moment, and we've issues to fix in midfield. Botman will come back next week & we'll go again. Remember, Eddie,.

I know this is a day old, but it's really bugged me. (RANT). In 2003, Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea. The chequebook was opened, and the Blues practically bought a new A team & a pretty good B team. Since then, they've gone on to be a European juggernaut. In 2008, Sheikh.
🚨 A number of clubs will voice concern to PL on proposed Saint-Maximim move to Al Ahli. They say Newcastle using PIF duel ownership to inflate fee & help FFP + want PL to explain ‘market value’ process. #NUFC very comfortable with valuation @TheAthleticFC

Say it quietly, but this is an optimum time to play Manchester City. De Bruyne out, Silva ill, Stones not fit & they have just played a sweaty, intense Super Cup final. They'll still be heavy favourites on Saturday, being the best team on the planet n all. But Newcastle will go.

Over 2 games, Newcastle made PS fucking G look ordinary. No Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Tonali, Willock, Barnes, Anderson, Murphy or Wilson, and they still couldn't beat us. I swear, I feel more proud tonight than sad/angry. Bad decisions are everywhere now, so they are to be.

We've slated officials operating VAR alot. But they never get credit for getting big calls right. In this case, there was so much to get through & they did it all perfectly. Arteta called the officials 'embarrassing' & then Arsenal backed him up with that official statement.
Listen to the full four minute VAR check of Anthony Gordon's controversial goal for Newcastle against Arsenal and PGMOL chief Howard Webb discussing the process of awarding the goal 🔊

I don't think I've ever been as angry during a Newcastle match as I was when that Wilson goal was ruled out. Not only did the ref get it wrong, but for VAR to uphold a clearly wrong decision was infuriating. Craig Pawson couldn't have seen a foul because there wasn't one. Yet he

Newcastle United have sold one player to a Saudi club so far. (Allan Saint-Maximin). There is paper talk that Miguel Almiron could be the 2nd. Given that some fans have already started to sharpen their knives for us, here's a list of some players sold by #EPL clubs for Saudi.

@ChasEarl I think the narrative is that:.If you make mistakes, it's not the end of the world. Work hard, get better and you can overcome. Seems pretty straightforward. He paid a heavy price for breaking the rules & scored in a winning return. I don't see an issue at all here.

@FabrizioRomano @B7W7ARMY Absolutely fantastic signing for Aston Villa. Diaby was on the Toon radar for a long time, so I'm kinda gutted we didn't go for him. Seems tailor-made for the Premier League. Aston Villa are making BIG moves. Fair play 👏.

I might get slated for this, but hear me out:. Alexander Isak reminds me so much of Thierry Henry. Unreal dribbling, physique, speed on the ball, calmness & scoring all types of goals. At 23yo, Isak has the potential to go on to something really special. 🤩.#Nufc.#TheNewHenry

@amiescool Comedy is about timing though. Something that Rosie has been robbed of due to her disability. If she's a good joke writer then good on her. But a panel show isn't her strength. I know an awful lot about football. But stick me upfront for Barcelona & I couldn't hit a dartboard.

@paddypower A Premier League manager has a poor spell & he's usually sacked. Premier League refs and officials in front of screens have been shocking ever since VAR came in. I don't understand how it's allowed to keep happening without some sort of intervention.
