My interview with David Hopkinson, #NUFC’s new CEO. “We will execute strategies - I assure you. We will grow - I have absolute confidence in that. But the first job is to listen, and to really understand.”

Some pre-match reading - an interview with Eddie Howe, on the importance of “having something to escape to”, controlling emotions in a deeply emotional place, culture, his pride, the here and now at #NUFC and thinking of his late mum after lifting the Carabao Cup.

It was a real pleasure to work alongside our video team on this feature-length, behind-the-scenes piece with Sandro Tonali and his partner Giulia. #NUFC

Some #NUFC pre-match reading - freeman of Northumberland Dan Burn on his lifechanging fortnight, the baby goat, BDB Walk, the Carabao Cup final, England, dreams being realised, history, the World Cup, lots of emotion and some welcome normality.

So happy for Dan Burn. A brilliant story but he deserves this call-up (and it probably should have come sooner). This, from last season, veered into ‘love letter’ territory at the end, but it’s my favourite of many interviews I’ve done with him over the last few years. #NUFC

It was great to see Newcastle United Women captain Amber-Keegan Stobbs again at @nufoundation.bsky.social as she became an ambassador for the charity this week. Here’s an interview about that role, the impact of sharing her story back in July - and March’s Tyne-Wear derby at St. James’ Park. #NUFC

My first post on Bluesky. Thanks for following! Here’s an interview with Georgia Gibson - on reaching 100 appearances for Newcastle United Women, growing up in Dubai, leaving teaching to become a professional footballer and her encounter with a legendary figure... #NUFC
