I keep reading that 'nobody should be forced to pay for the BBC'. Meanwhile, I'm forced to pay for the royal family, nuclear weapons, religiously-affiliated schools and the House of Lords.

Now that's a proper professional footballer AND a professional athlete speaking very well. I'm very happy people like this are in my club.

Newcastle United (@NUFC) "This year it's about people stepping up and I feel like I've got a big part to play in that." 🗣️ Well played tonight, @harveybarnes97 💪 https://t.co/lN7goOOIjg

Jealous of everyone going to the match today. Glorious weather, friends/family meeting up, excited atmosphere in pubs, familiar faces in nearby seats, paying tribute to one of our legends, good opposition, exciting new players to cheer, villain to jeer. Hope the football lives up to it! #HWTL #NUFC

To be a scientist and to be vocal is an increasingly awful position to put oneself in... Desperately sad times.

🥈for Keely 😞. Great race and Werro has bossed this season 👏

C'mon Keely 🤞

Just a gentle #nufc reminder of where we've come from these last 5 years 🤣

Not that I didn't know but..

Anyone else internalising #nufc club statements in a German accent? Just me? 😂

The one thing that I paid particular attention to in tonight's #nufc match was the aftermath of the Elanga challenge. Thiaw ran from centre back, Osula sprinted in but the only only who got pushy was Ramsey. Selling our remaining senior CM's right now seems premature to me.

Really looking forward to Dan Jackson's new book and here's a lovely snippet of it... #nufc www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Behind Milburn’s magic: Wor Jackie was a pit village hero and ‘everybody’s friend’ in Newcastle

A new book details the modest England centre-forward’s Ashington upbringing, his shyness and the work ethic that set him apart

I don’t know where I got this video, so sorry I can’t credit the creator. YouTube wouldn’t let me use it so had to split it to post here. If we’re on #NUFC Ver 2.0 this is a nice reminder of Ver 1.0 in that first full season with EH. Been a difficult few weeks for Toon fans. Onwards and upwards.

Looking forward to Jaissle's first #nufc press conference being delivered with the tact of Joe Kinnear's 🤣

Do you know what the core of the business is? Football? Haha, no it's marketing. Is this about you changing the badge? We like to get an informed view about how everyone wants the brand to move forward. I don't give a shit. The badge has'nt been permanent in our history. Carry the fuck on.

Ahh man. The Commonwealth Games should be free to air sport. So many wholesome moments ❤️

The men's mile race at the Commonwealth Games was pure cinema. The best man won but the positioning/barging throughout the race was great to watch. I reserve my summers for summer sports. Just saying #nufc

You're a slave to money then you die.

Seeing a smiling Rumayyan shaking Infantino's and Trump's hands makes the bitter pill I've already had to swallow turn more bilious 🤮

One side effect of the #2026WC for me is that it highlights my worry for the future of music. I know it's the US, but anecdotally the Hydration Break, HT, etc music seems to be Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, GunsnRoses, etc. Streaming algorithms seem to have stymied any musical talent from the last 30 yrs!

I'm 6'5, skinny and even for my height I have disproportionately long legs. If I had world class footballing talents I like to think I would look something like this... 😬 PS. I have been called Peter Crouch in remote foreign parts 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC8V...

And a shout out to the first world champions of football for those that don't know... www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

West Auckland Town: The amateur side that became world champions

Before the powerhouses of Chelsea and Paris St-Germain were going head-to-head in a bid to become champions of the world, there was once an amateur side from County Durham vying to do the same.

The #nufc strip reminds me about my past failed relationships. I really liked you when we first met and fell in love quickly. Maybe I got too comfortable with you over the years and didn't fully appreciate the subtle changes. But just recently, every time I see you I feel like something is wrong.

I think the new #nufc kit is the best in a very long time. #JustSaying

I've had a day of going through family stuff... and yes, I did go to that Monaco game. And yes, that is Mirandinha's signature. #nufc PS. I loved that pic of Mira with the Gallowgate/Brewery in the background as soon as I saw it and I love it more now!

At some point soon I reckon I'll be offered a subscription service to hear all PGMOL discussions 💔⚽

#NUFC

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Is it just me, but are Man City allowed to just buy any player in Europe who is in a 'purple patch'?

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war
