If NUFC do go on and win this match we’ll never hear the end of that goal from Arteta and a section of Arsenal fans - just like they still go on about the ball over the line from a couple of years back.

Gabriel needs to stop crying. Minimal contact and he went down like a pack of cards. Pathetic. #NUFC

What a comeback win for the #Eagles. And what a way to win it too! Blocked field goal and return for a TD. Nice to see them win against the Rams too.

aka Charlie Sheen. I remember back in the early days of Twitter the whole Charlie Sheen ‘winning’ and ‘tiger blood’ stuff and him getting fired from Two and a Half Men. But oh my days, I did not realise how messed up that dude was at that time. How is he still living? #charliesheen

If you aren't watching Channel 5's NFL coverage you're missing out on Partridge levels of cringe. Every time the play stops it cuts to a studio where Dermot O'Leary hosts the cheapest American football-themed game show you've ever seen. Bucking broncos and everything

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act. And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.

Sorry but that VAR decision is appalling. Absolute rubbish that they've disallowed that.

Key part here seems to be the high ceiling. With Howe’s record of improving players this is very exciting indeed.

Very exciting to have a new striker. If we can bring in one more before the deadline this will have been an AMAZING transfer window - the shot in the arm that we’ve needed. (It’s already been very good imo) And even losing Isak definitely feels like it could be an opportunity rather than a problem

If you just look at the language here. "Undeterred". This is a judgement of a Court of Appeal. Not a war against a common enemy. It's the small things that are eroding the rule of law in this country. And the Times has become a driving force in it.

A common misconception I see from the eWarriors across social media, regarding Isak is that #NUFC are nothing without him. Granted, he's a quality player & the club's best striker by a mile, but to suggest there's not a quality team behind him that enabled him (& has improved) is naive at best.

“…end Isak’s nightmare.” Really dislike reporting like this. It’s hardly been a ‘nightmare’ for him at Newcastle United - paid handsomely, won a cup, increased his profile and reputation. The ‘nightmare’ of not moving was largely his own doing. #NUFC

It’s like Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon had a giant baby #NUFC #Woltemade

Let’s hope there is a 2nd striker - under the radar too - that the club are working on. #NUFC

Take it and move on. Sign Woltemade AND someone else before the window shuts and it'll have been a great window overall. #NUFC

Haven't been posting on here for a while - I now see some of the twitter idiots have started to arrive. It was nice while it lasted I suppose - at least the block function actually works on this site.

Is there any chance Isak goes to a club in a different league? There must be other interest in him than Liverpool? Offloading him elsewhere would be preferable if the club do manage to bring in the 2 strikers, which is looking possible #NUFC

For those of you not old enough to already know this, this is a decent article on Liverpool in the 50's/60's they were the original financially doped club, a Chelski of the north. Don't swallow the organically grown bullshit, it's a geet big lie #NUFC www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/footba...

There were two statements released last night. They contradict each other. But we're supposed to just believe Isak's side of it are we? The truth probably lies in the middle, if we're honest. But a 3 year contract and no bids of a high enough value = staying.

A big part of the problem with this Isak saga is the sheer number of people out there who are happy to side with the player. Why are so many fans unable to call out terrible behaviour? Isak’s actions are one of the most egregious examples of unnecessary and selfish behaviour we’ve seen.

Now with updated reaction to #NUFC statement (which came out just as I posted this 😂)

Keep reading and hearing that “Newcastle should just let Isak go” Ok. But NOBODY has put an acceptable bid in for him. How can there be so many people out there who don’t understand this very simple piece of information? #NUFC

The Alexander Isak statement - I have some thoughts... #NUFC open.substack.com/pub/ismith/p...

The need for a couple of strikers at Newcastle United is obvious. However, the team showed on Saturday that it is in a good place and with some serviceable strike options the club may well be just fine this season. #NUFC open.substack.com/pub/ismith/p...

There was some formatting issues when I posted this. Those are now sorted. #NUFC

Had to get my thoughts on the current #NUFC situation down ahead of the new Premier League season. It's been a tricky summer with Isak wanting out, but ultimately PSR is killing NUFC and other teams that are not the so called 'Big 6'. Hope you enjoy... open.substack.com/pub/ismith/p...

One of my favourite F1 races of any season, the Canadian Grand Prix. Hopefully we get a good race - here is my preview of it (plus a round up of the latest news too!) #F1 #Formula1 #canadianGP theovertake.substack.com/p/10-canadia...

Verstappen totally lost his cool when he rammed Russell. It really does tarnish his brilliance with petulance like that and is why many people dislike him. The 10 second penalty seems so lenient too. Brilliant for McLaren tho. Piastri as cool as you like & Lando maximising #F1 #SpanishGP

@thebishf1.bsky.social loved the latest podcast episode about one of my all time favourite drivers; Mika Hakkinen. Thank you, it was very interesting and I learnt a lot. 👏🏼

Congratulations to #Palace superb win in the FA Cup final. Enjoy it!! #CPFC 👏🏼 🏆

It is pretty incredible that the range of outcomes still possible for Newcastle United, with just 2 matches remaining, is as high as finishing 2nd and as low as not qualifying in the top 5 for the champions league! 🤯 #NUFC

One win away from the Champions League. One win away from moving above the Arsenal in 2nd heading into the final day with home advantage. No first-team signings in 3 windows. Relying on players here prior to his arrival and improving them. Won us the League Cup. Take a bow, Eddie Howe. 👏 #NUFC

Tomorrow is absolutely massive for #NUFC now. A win would give the club an extra cushion. But if we lose I daren’t look at how close it’ll all be 🫣

New badge for #NUFC. Please just not round like all the other new ones these days - eg. Man City, Chelsea, Brighton etc.

This has been poor. Why can’t we get anything going down there?

2 things: 1. Max Verstappen’s pole lap was incredible. 2. Can we stop the narrative that he’s driving a tractor. That Red Bull is rapid. Difficult to handle does not equal slow. #F1

Fulham are useless.

Emery is a bit of a dick on the sideline isn’t he?

How has that goal been given? The only reason the Spurs defender moved is because Salah was there and he was in an offside position. We’ve seen goals disallowed for exactly that. Wasn’t Isak’s disallowed in the final for similar?

Verstappen once again complaining about how bad his car is all weekend, then sticks it on pole. Impressive drive, sure. But perhaps his car isn’t as awful as we’re lead to believe?

Not good enough today. Way off what we know we’re capable of. Hopefully this result sharpens the focus going into the rest of the season. There’s gonna be some scoreboard pressure now after this. But it’s still in our hands.

Feel like if #NUFC fall behind for a 2nd time it’ll be game over. Have to get on the front foot here, somehow.

Riley first half by #NUFC - lucky to go on level. However, signs are there that if we can get at the Villa defence there’s joy to be had. Villa will feel exactly the same regarding our defending though, we’ve been off it at the back. Not losing here is massive. Huge, potentially defining, 45mins.

Just seen the mackems red card today. Absolutely no way that is a red card.

Played squash for the 2nd time in 2 weeks tonight. Before that it had been 13 years. I love it and I forgot how much I love it What a totally mint, u serrated sport it is. Got soundly beaten by my friend who is almost retired - but that doesn’t matter, it’s been ace playing again.

I mean, this is pure, unadulterated comedy from Man Utd. 2-0 up and now 4-2 down to 10 men 😂
