Funnily enough, I had heard this last month (stretched as far as a visit to Tyneside) but dismissed it completely (and FI is garbage). Apparently a few of the players suddenly followed him Insta? I don’t know, you’ll have to check.
Grey Eye Magpie@greyeyemagpie.bsky.social · 6h ago'Football Insider' says Richard Rios from Benfica #nufc www.givemesport.com/newcastle-ma...
Dutch football was so innovative in the latter stages of the twentieth century that Louis van Gaal actually invented the Spider-Man meme ten years before the internet existed. Incredible.
His daughter was a teacher at my secondary school and had a picture of him in the class, as an avid reader (nerd) of this when I was younger I remember being pretty impressed
Anyway, here's a great pic of the uncompromising John McNamee I clocked earlier. Look how handsome he is, and how handsome that kit is too. Wow. Had a hell of a life after football, bless him. Some excellent anecdotes in Sir Alex's book about him too.
Hatched on the Northumberland coast, and soon to be out in the wide, wide ocean!
First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.
I haven't read this yet but I assume its about how Hector Bellerin is about to drop the Italo disco tune of the summer www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Héctor Bellerín: ‘When you leave a club like Arsenal, it’s scary. It hurts’
Spanish full-back Héctor Bellerín tells Sid Lowe about his elation at his old club ending their title drought and how Mikel Arteta has helped prolong his career

Hey, did I ever show you my Fela Kuti t-shirt? It looks way better than it does here. Love it. Got some admiring glances in Barca as well, but then, I am incredibly suave.
I don't think there's ever been any issue with paperwork on new NUFC manager. More likely making a clear distinction between eras, ie sale of captain and appointment of Jaissle. That's either deliberate strategy by club or by the lad himself. Fair.
Bede's World! Bede's World! Party time! Venerable!
Excellent midfielder. Four years good service. Almost 29 and deserves a big contract and a shot at trophies. Arsenal the best around right now and NUFC's direction unclear. Sour taste at the end, though, so no emotional videos, please, United. Good luck, son. Once again dot com nail the headline.
Man, what an awful few weeks. It’s been ju… Ah! There he is!
Bournemouth have stuck ten past Genoa this afternoon if you’re keen to hear how other Barclays teams are getting on in preseason.
From Rossington Main to Champions League goalscorer in 12 months. Hat tip to 24-year-old Manasse Kianga. Just over a year ago he was playing for the Colliery in the North East Counties League. He’s just come off the bench to score a 94th minute winner for Slovan Bratislava away at Mjallby.
Newcastle United have lost the best manager they’ve had in 50+ years, three of their best players, and now their captain and talisman. No new training ground or stadium is planned, but tonight they’re holding an interactive workshop to discuss tweaks to the club crest. Never change, United.
I didn't realise but his dad owns a small agency with a number of Brazil based clients
Hey, I’m not clutching at straws or anything, you know I’d heard Bruno was likely away months ago. Howe’s departure and these pics from his dad just back that inevitability up. Still seems a bit strange to do the latter stages here, surely they wouldn’t be hawking the lad around?
Jeff Livingstone@defjeff.bsky.social · yesterdayHere’s an explainer about the system, but these one-off events are focussed on 1-2-1 conversations, face to face. I mean, Newcastle are always represented there now, but would you need the whole entourage if it’s now just club to club thrash out? Who knows… www.instagram.com/reel/C_kgyl6...

Jeff Livingstone@defjeff.bsky.social · yesterdayThe thing about these one day Transfer Room events is that they’re effectively ‘speed dating’ for clubs and representatives. I mean, that’s fine for Bruno’s dad and his agents, but wasn’t this move to Arsenal supposed to have been wrapped up ages ago on that side? Seems highly unusual to do this?
