Physio referral this morning and they've put in an additional referral to look at potential Cauda Equina. Still not actual treatment however and only slightly worrying.

Apart from Darwin Nunez if the talent that has come through benfica is a sign then it could be promising 🤷‍♂️ #NUFC

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Tomás Amaral as the club's new Head of First Team Recruitment. 🙌

Lamine Yamal might win the Ballon d'Or but PETA's going to have something to say about how he treats sea anemones

Benefit scroungers can't have it if it's in his bank account though. Smart!

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

Up there with some of our best ever players in terms of stats. Aye he gives the ball away but largely due to no overlapping options or patterns being played properly. #NUFC

We need a British version of this (mainly because the people who need to see won't empathise unless it has a Union Jack)

Arguably two red cards there...lucky to get away with a single game ban

If Bentancurs headbutt after Luke Shaw's amateur dramatics was a red card then Cole Palmer should be having an early shower. #CHETOT

Mother fucker, went out again and moved the seat forward and it was sitting looking at me and had disappeared by the time I could find a container. Mouse trap purchase tomorrow before it chews something it shouldn't

There's a mouse in/been in my car. It's not an old rickety thing that's falling to bits or anything either. Naturally mice all over here but not on the fucking car, chew through wires I'll be raging

Was listening on the wireless and the commentator said something about man Utd being pleased to get through to the knockout phase and "that's not something we should be saying about man Utd" How long do they have to be shit before we stop pretending they're good? They've been shit for ages

Wait until he finds out how Plymouth got its name. "This is Plymouth? We've just come from Plymouth! We've gone round in a circle. Lads, back on the boats"

He’ll be calling Google about this tonight.

The news is pretty good at the moment because it's 'The AI companies are trying to kill us all' and 'no one can afford to be alive anymore' and 'we have created a society built to appease the greed of the few at the detriment of the many' and then ask 'why are the young people rioting'.

How late he arrived he'll have at least until January to strengthen again but not much after that I wouldn't have thought. Let's enjoy it if we can lads and lasses #NUFC

MisterMagpie@arrrrjobe.bsky.social

Not sure this is Jaissles fault although he could obviously be doing better. Can't just sell every good player in your team and expect to get results. We are so desperate for an actual striker it hurts

Jackson's pace against our defence is the most worrying thing. If Jackson has to do more than run in a straight line we'll be fine however as he's garbage technically #NUFC Yes I know this means I've jinxed it 🙈

Been off work all week with my old man back pain. Codeine takes the edge off for a few hours at a time, getting horrible fucking pains in my shin which is apparently common. Sleeping is shit, sitting hurts, standing hurts.... physio not until 27th 😩 Rum might help?!

Can we just have polls natively? 🤷‍♂️

Got me thinking.. If you’ve owned a food van but it HAD to be staffed by football pundits.. 1. What would it be called? 2. What would it serve? 3. Who’s staffing it & what is their job? Me first… Name: Class of 90 chips Food: Portions of exactly 90 chips Staff: Gary & Phil Neville on the fryer

There’s an ice cream van going round near mine playing the match of the day theme tune and I’m sure it’s trolling me. #nufc

Absolutely no one gave a shit about fairness when a businessman turned Newcastle United into a billboard for his tat and systematically underfunded us for 15+ years or cared about fair market value when he plastered adverts for his brands at no cost to himself. 3/3

this is gonna be the first November where the poppyshaggers have full, unrestricted access to Gen AI. It's going to be horrific.

I've just had some more codeine..... Do I sleep now and inevitably be awake through the night or stay up late and hope I can get comfortable to sleep later?

I already have a copy of this but I can't find it and there's a stack of them on the book donation shelf in Tesco, Hexham do grabbed another copy

Top work 👏
