Well at least I don't have to listen to any football podcasts this week, anyone got any music recommendations? #nufc

Lewis Hall injured?

Newcastle says no to fascism. The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance. Newcastle united.

last time out in the league cup: #NUFC

The fact our B team can go away to a good, top half, in form PL team and get a pretty comfortable point is something I don't remember ever being the case in the PL era. Not pretty but it's progress. #nufc

Great result that given how Bournemouth have battered us for the last few seasons. Really feared we'd get a hiding after playing a tough game in midweek. #nufc

spent most of this century as a fan base thinking we'd never get back to nights like tonight. determined to enjoy it, can't wait to see what eddie and the lads and the sjp faithful have planned. time to start making the case we belong here long term... howay the lads. #nufc #barca

Here's a good blog post: defector.com/this-is-who-...

Feel like we are an iffy Woltemade debut and a poor result tomorrow away from a pretty serious crank up in pressure at nufc. Especially if wissa is long term crocked...

Alcohol Free Cider With Rosie

After a summer of failed attempts to land a striker, #NUFC have signed 23-year-old German international striker Nick Woltemade (Vol-tuh-mar-duh) from VfB Stuttgart in a club record £69m deal. Let’s look at what the 6’6” striker, nicknamed "Wolte-Messi", will bring to St James’ Park 🧵

Half a billion spent, premier league champions, just signed the best striker in Europe and they are working themselves into a tizz miserably imagining what Nick Pope thinks about Luke Edwards latest piece. Genuinely baffling, surely got better/more fun things to do???

Personally I'd like #nufc to prioritise the league above everything this year. The only way we can break apart the 'big 6' is to get the champs league cash and cut off the stragglers (spurs & Man Utd) from the life support it provides. 35 games, 20 wins needed. Howay the lads. ⚫️⚪️

#nufc accountants when the medical gets to assessing Isak's groin.

Not gonna pretend I'm not gutted about Isak leaving. Love everything about the way he plays the game. Hope he gets summoned for jury duty in Sweden in a complex financial fraud case that drags on for years

Well then #nufc, you've got 12 hours to prove this wasn't a massive and damaging capitulation

🎶Gimme gimme gimme a striker from Stuttgart, Last names Woltemade and he loves it up front; Gimme gimme gimme a striker from Stuttgart, We had one from Sweden but turns out he's a .... 🎶 #nufc

Are we sure Steve harper is the right guy to be in charge of our U21s...? #nufc

Not a betting man but I wouldn't be surprised if some Isak news 'breaks' (not from the nufc side) a couple of hours before kick off on Monday to try and unsettle the squad

Right #nufc. Sack off Wissa deal. Get Vlahović on a season long loan with an option to buy done this week. Announce your incoming/outgoing business is done for the summer and let Eddie and the lads get to work.

Simon Hooper walking out to ref the game at SJP on Monday night #nufc

Newcastle stance unchanged by Isak statement. They do not want to sell. (Alex crook)

Funniest thing about the Isak statement is it reads like a teary love island rant. 'When trust is lost the relationship can't continue.' Grow up. You were dangled a pay rise lad not conned into marrying a scaffolder you thought was Harry Styles

Eddie Howe has already picked out and ironed his favourite black tracksuit in preparation for the extended edition of the High Performance podcast he's going to do about 'managing the Isak situation'

Newcastle United have completed their 4th signing of the summer, shelling out ~£40m for Jacob Ramsey from EPL rival Aston Villa. Like Thiaw, the club have secured a player that’s been on their shortlist for a long time. Why does Howe like him so much? It’s time to take a closer look 🧵 #NUFC

PS said skiving, sulky Swede is not 'on strike'. He's a businessman in receipt of £6m+ remuneration per year who holds a considerable amount of power in this situation, is not being exploited, and is not sacrificing anything to act in solidarity with anyone else. #NUFC

One point better off than last season from the equivalent game. We were awful away from home against the top half of the table in 24/25. Good performance today, only a Wissa away from three points. #nufc

What's everyone hoping for this season then for #nufc? I think the below is realistic but difficult. 20 wins in the league Get out of the league stage of the CL FA Cup Semi Final Women's team in the promotion mix New training ground committed to & ground broken Stadium question resolved

An nufc 11 of: Ramsdale Tino Thiaw Botman Hall Bruno Tonali Joelinton Elanga Gordon Barnes Has an average age of 24.7 For reference the team that started the league cup final in March had an average age of 28.5. Isak, Miley, Ramsey & Willock would all replace older players too...

good read #NUFC

So do we think Isak is sleeping on the sofa in Trippier's Vermont Hotel suite then?

Remember, agents typically get paid around 10% but up to 25% of a transfer fee as their commission. Isak's agent has generational wealth at his fingertips that could evaporate this morning if the truculent Swede slips in the shower. Bet you he never approves a contract without a release clause again

After 3 years of chasing the young German centreback, Newcastle United #NUFC are about to sign Malick Thiaw (pronounced Mal-ick Tch-ow) for a reported fee of £35m including add-ons. Why has Eddie Howe’s & the club's interest never waned? Let’s break down what the 24-year-old will bring to SJP 🧵🔽

I have one question about Malick Thiaw...is he fast? #nufc

Of course Howe is going to flat bat the 'been told he's staying' story. What else is he supposed to do? Remember when he denied knowing who Harvey Barnes was about 45 minutes before the club unveiled him?

Howay nufc, crack open a few cruzcampo's and have a little chat with athleti about Conor Gallagher today

Have it on good authority that Isak told Eddie he wanted to stay for another year on better terms with a release clause but asked Howe to stop playing A-Ha around the training ground and Eddie banned him from the premises.

Nufc Xmas party is going to be absolutely epic with the size of contribution Isak will be making into the fines kitty after this summer.

a Thiaw, Conor Gallagher, Wissa, keep Isak summer is still more than possible for nufc and would but annoyingly late in the window but still good...

Congrats to Leverkusen on their new player I guess 🤷‍♂️

can any of them play upfront and are willing to accept in the region of £120,000 a week?

I'd like the next nufc ceo to position us publicly & privately as a leader of 'the other 14'. Push for rules changes to benefit the majority (equal distribution of international tv rights, poss salary caps, close psr loopholes, include debt in psr). 14 votes needed to change rules, screw the other 6

Remember the football media has a choice when it comes to framing stories. They can say nufc are bungling the summer or they can be truthful & say actually CL football, passionate fans, trophies & a great coach isn't what players care about (even though we said they did) it's money (1/2)

If I have to read 'nufc pushing hard for the deal' one more time this summer I think I might just walk into the sea.

So this summer nufc have been beaten to: Delap and Pedro by Chelsea Trafford by City Ekitike by Liverpool Sesko, Mbuemo and Cunha by Man Utd Wissa to spurs and Guehi to arsenal to complete the top 6 set?

man utd bankrupting themselves to prevent liverpool from having the best striker in europe is what football rivalries are all about.

nufc are the Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert of the premier league. do all the legwork to find out the cheapest deals for stuff you want to make your life better but they themselves can't escape their close association with Phillip Schofield (villa)

I’ve noticed that over the summer there’s been a fair few new #NUFC fans that have made the switch from Twatter to Bluesky. So, here’s my starter pack of Toon fans who I actively engage with and worth following. Please share & build our community even stronger 💪🏼 go.bsky.app/R25rSzm

People saying 'there is no way back for Isak at nufc now'...really? One carefully stage managed interview on the club website in early September and we'd have the Alexander the Great flags out again imo

They don't know what the word 'innately' means do they?
