Bruno being repeatedly shit at pens but refusing to accept it and still fighting to take them - is part of what makes him great. It's also what will ensure he is absolutely fuming whenever he doesn't start at Arsnl. He needs to be leading upstarts not kicking his heels at the champions. #NUFC

Tired of membership fees and subscriptions that are made ridiculously hard to cancel who then get arsey when you just cut them off at source and cancel the direct debit.

Presented as a new quote, but "I believed" is from a 2019 Sky interview when he was at Peterborough. The date of that interview is omitted. Beyond that - no current "truth" apart from suggestion that #NUFC couldn't afford Toney's half a million a week Saudi wages.

Reach PLC headlines are just weird. Imagine clickbaiting - it's a good thing to win trophies and fans like it. #NUFC

Everton have been told what lifting the League Cup should really mean to them having never won it... And now there is a 2 in 7 chance of being drawn against a lower division side in the quarter-finals if they beat Newcastle United. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...

The "£130m" refers to total cost of Dedic, Gonzalez and Matias Fernandez-Pardo in the summer and not #NUFC's January budget or any additional incoming funds. Boost refers only to appointment of Amaral.

Pre VAR a foul was a foul. The whole "yes but was it enough of a..." has come in with VAR. Effectively adding grey areas to black and white decisions. Too often this is used as a get out. Mostly to avoid Big Six club/media outrage. Yesterday, no VAR. Red for Dowman. Correct.

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure

Cheeky bid for Dowman next? Heard he's fallen out with the manager. #nufc

"bigger and better things" #nufc

Harry@haroldafc.bsky.social

This would be a big deal if he was still at Newcastle. Luckily he's onto bigger and better things💪🏻

Bruno leaving #nufc, sitting on the bench at Arsenal (but scoring against S'lund) and then missing a pen against Fleetwood. Going better than I hoped if I'm honest. #nufc

Well I suppose you can’t claim that sponsoring one journalism awards category affects the judges in the category before it.

Looking at the small print, Harry Kane now has to join #NUFC like the last two English #BallonDor winners.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Fabulous. Some really exciting players and loved Seung-Soo living his best life. Decent way to spend a Monday night. I'm no lipreader but pretty sure I saw the PIF guy say: "I've seen enough, you've got your new ground..." to Ross Wilson when the winner went in. Watch this space. #NUFC

Full-time: #NUFC U21s 3-2 #SAFC U21s Huge final half-hour from #NUFC, who twice fell behind (Felix Scott with #SAFC's 2nd) & yet found a way to win. Subs made a big difference. Kyran Thompson, Park Seung-soo (with an absolute belter) & Vakhtang Salia the scorers as #NUFC claim bragging rights.

Tino not hit by any problem. Headline appears to refer to Dedic form. Story only mentions Tino in passing. No transfer hint. #NUFC

Looks like the ‘AI productivity gains will help create growth and jobs to offset the jobs it destroys’ hypothesis is going to be tested pretty quickly.

Slightly worried by BDB apparently held together by plasters. Considering he was out with a rolled ankle - WTF have they been doing to him in the meantime? #NUFC

Newcastle United (@NUFC) 3 POINTS ✅ https://t.co/fSklcRpTTi

Daughter been playing football for years and doing #NUFC Foundation training in her holidays. But had never really wanted to watch games. It's only this season that suddenly it's unmissable for her. Did my old dad heart good to hear her scream when Murph dug out a cross and Will finished. Magic 🖤🤍

This. In everything.

Impartiality does NOT mean giving equal weight to science/facts/reality on the one hand and right-wing populist culture war BS on the other. Every section referenced actually DID give pros and cons, and difficult choices. The MoS ignored that and pretended it was one-sided.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

A month ago, Sir Jim Ratcliffe lectured the Prime Minister, telling him he should run Britain in the same way he runs Manchester United

That would be a weird one. I'd wish him the best of luck in anything and would genuinely want him to be a success. But still would want Man U to lose every game. #nufc
