Few thoughts - Ronaldo is like a dowager Queen of a footballer, Modric has the look of a stressed out social worker in a tough inner city local authority and England can’t defend for toffee. That is all.

Smashing goal for Wissa for DRC - hopefully works towards being a confidence boost for him and us next season. 🇨🇩 🏁

REVIEW - TF review of Kevin Bridges World Cup documentary- ta for reading - tf1892.substack.com/p/review-kev...

Reports from Ornstein and Romano linking Tonali to Spurs makes little football sense - the only attraction I can see is him increasing his salary and maybe living in London but all reports are he likes a quieter life in Newcastle. I could understand him going to Arsenal, Man U etc but not Tottenham

Good news we have a shirt sponsor (the KNOX mushes) - reported as £80m over x3 seasons - that seems more than we had from SELA so that’s heading in the right direction it seems. Positive news #NUFC

Ornstein reporting that Steve Nickson our Head of Recruitment is for the off to West Ham. Right in the middle of a transfer window. Doesn’t seem ideal does it?

New week and a new TBAWE looking at recruitment, new shirts and sponsors, and a season ticket waiting list. Ta for reading - #NUFC tf1892.substack.com/p/thru-black...

Good morning … there are 115 charges outstanding for Man City … football will eat itself … x.com/kieranmaguir...

Welcome to Newcastle United #nufc - www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/ewen...

Literally all the referees, including the American ones, should boycott. But nobody will because most people excuse racism unless it's happening to them personally.

It is the worst kit we have EVER had and by some considerable distance.

Growing more amazed that this is a real roll out for a new kit honestly, even the promo photos look badly done and I can't see what they're going for with all this shadow other than covering up the mess they've made as much as possible #NUFC

What a shame that, when for the first time in years you can buy an official shirt without a sponsor, it looks like this 😭 🤮 #NUFC

I’m hoping we don’t win the league as this monstrosity would ruin the whole experience. Did they design it in the fucking dark?! #nufc

Horrible. Who signed this off?

As widely rumoured - it’s fucking vile - and with no sponsor? shop.newcastleunited.com/collections/...

Review - I’ve had a read and a listen to this fascinating book diving into the world of Italian football Ultras - here’s what I discovered - tf1892.substack.com/p/book-revie...

Fit and proper person? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Beautifully timed 🤭 ⚽️ x.com/skysportsnew...

No idea if this lad is any good but the signing reminds me of a certain Shay Given joining #NUFC - hopefully he’ll be as successful and become as connected to the club and the city-region - welcome - x.com/skyfootball/...

The transfer window is open and it’s open season for the phonies, patter merchants and gobshites to do their cut and clag malarkey and kid on they’re in ITK - all that and the new shirt stuff in this week’s TBAWE tf1892.substack.com/p/thru-black... #NUFC

The USA is not fit to host the World Cup- This is one of several incidents involving Black and Asian participants for which FIFA and associations should be protesting about strongly - the US is behaving like a rogue, racist state - x.com/robharris/st...
