This bit hit home for me because I’m a southerner who could have took an easy football path. But this club represents my family and its all about the heartbreak and adversity with Nufc that makes us true supporters, not fans. Get into them. HWTL
Ok. If there are three resources I definitively follow for balanced, incisive and accurate takes on what is happening at NUFC it's George, Chris Waugh and NUFC.com. Frankly anyone who thinks George and Chris are mouthpieces for a "regime" then you don't understand regimes and you're a fool.

George Caulkin@georgecaulkin.bsky.social · 12h agoI am going to address this. The way I have done my job has been consistent for 30+ yrs. I try to find out what’s happening & explain. The only way to do that is by speaking to people & attempting to build relationships. On occasion those relationships get blurred ... I loved Sir Bobby for instance.
Sorry but I'm not going to let anyone have pop shots at any of the Pod on the Tyne lads. They do us so proud, great at what they do and all seem damn good human beings.
I also don't want to see some fancy montage video from Bruno's camp about how wonderful these years have been etc etc. Do an interview like Gordon with the club, say thank you and wish us well. No bollock tears, I'll always love this club bullshit bc the way you've gone about this has been poor.
And PIF have to get the TG sorted by end of this year and we need stadium decision asap. Part of this 'hard reset' is because they've been poor on those fronts.
Can this be the end of our summer saga please? Sign some decent players in and sell those we should be selling. I haven't got the mental strength to dance the Hall dance now. Preparing for next Summer already (anyone who does well for us = gone).
@georgecaulkin.bsky.social @chrisdhwaugh.bsky.social @msidouglas.bsky.social Hi guys, sorry, can't remember who wrote the article but there were quotes attributed to an NUFC source earlier in the summer along the lines of "if we sell Tonali AND Bruno, we might as well give up." Have they given up?
Guys, just start blocking them lot when they inevitable come at us. Get your mute setting up. Don’t even give em a sec of your attention.
No one seems to talk about the silent takeover of the prem by corporate America either.
Also, I can’t really explain this but I was more gutted when Kevin Nolan left us.
I’ve stupidly watched the highlights reel of that lad from Porto and got excited. Idiot.
Guess this is how them lot felt when they sold Henry, Viera, Cole, Fabregas, Van Persie, Nasri, Adebayor, Clichy, Sagna.
Understand why he's going and don't blame him. Don't understand why he's chosen to go in this underhand manner and blame him completely. Ruined his own legacy with the fans. I'll warm to him again when he's retired maybe. Until then he can fuck right off. I hope he spends 4 years on the bench. #nufc
Arsnl fans goading us with our ownership. Valid. But don’t play the morality card when you got Visit Rwanda over your kits and the Thomas Partey scandal.
Said it before but last season, watching us in the league, it was so true of 'hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard'. We all know who down tooled for us. The biggest culprits have been sold. So get players in that are hungry etc but please get some prem exp ones ffs!
At the beginning of the window there was a quote from 'Newcastle sources' that 'selling Tonali and Bruno.."we might as well shut up shop" (or something like that). Can we please get people in the building to just shut the fuck up on stuff like this/ 100mil for Bruno etc. It does us no favours.
Just got to blindly hope Ross Wilson is as good as people say, guys. Poor optics that we once again just let our best leave.
Guys, I know I can be quite pessimistic but I’m having serious doubts about this Bruno medical happening yesterday now.
Fucking hell here comes the Lewis hall saga now. Just fuck off and give us a few days you bastards.
When the media are done with us who will be next do you think? Wharton at Palace?
Funny what a month long concerted campaign to get us to sell our captain can do to you. I literally don't feel anything now for Bruno. Totally numb. Just want us out of the spotlight for a bit but dreading the Hall saga next..
@georgecaulkin.bsky.social @chrisdhwaugh.bsky.social Hey guys, sorry if this finds you both on hols but I'm a bit dim when it comes to modern football etc and wanted your expert advice (yes you're experts, shut up). Why have Arsenal only bid now day 1 Bruno is back? To see if he strikes = low £?
