It should have been done 5 years ago.
A Tad behind everyone else.

[Dave Flynn @FlynnyDave]

@PNEPlug @PNE_Spain I won’t disagree that the recruitment situation has been very concerning, but I think you’ve downplayed our record transfer fee (multiplied by three) a tad.

[Gary Milburn @GARYMILBURN1]

Great post mate,Best Wishes to your dad.

[Neale McDermott @nealemac8]

King Kev 👑

I could write a million words about the impact you have had on my Dad and my Family’s lives but that still wouldn’t do it any justice.

As both of you were living happy retirements after your playing days a phone call from Kevin in 1992 would change our lives as a family forever without us realising. Kevin was the new manager of Newcastle Utd and wanted my Dad to go as his assistant manager, without hesitation we were up the M6 uprooting our lives in Liverpool for a new life in Newcastle.

A childhood of incredible memories began not just for me but for every child and adult for that matter in Newcastle, we all went on the rollercoaster that would be the ‘entertainers’. School holidays were at Maiden Castle watching the team training, but not just for me , everyone was invited. 5/6/7 thousand watched them training every day, Kevin wanted everyone to be part of the ride, he didn’t want anyone to not feel part of it all. You didn’t need to know Kevin to know him, his personality was warm and infectious which made people gravitate to him and hang on his every word.

Together they dragged a club and city from the wilderness to the front and back pages of every paper and made Geordies be proud to be from Newcastle again. Everyone wanted a piece of Newcastle on and off the pitch and that was because of Kevin’s passion and charisma for the club and the Geordie people.

34 years later and we are still here in Newcastle having lived great lives and created countless friendships and memories, if it wasn’t for Kevin who knows how our lives would have been shaped. They remained close friends right until the end, and my dad always had that extra glint in his eye when Kevin would call or spring in his step when he knew he was seeing him, he had that effect on everyone he was that special a man.

Kevin might be gone but his legacy will remain forever with the McDermott family and the whole Geordie and Football World, forever we will now all ‘walk in a Keegan Wonderland’

Thank You KK and ‘Wish you Well’ ❤️

Congratulations to you both

Your football knowledge is very limited.

[Frank Snr @BigFrankChippa]

I think I speak on behalf of all Arsenal fans with any football knowledge when I say that Bruno Guimarães would be a dreadful signing. He’s an extremely limited footballer who should be nowhere near our club, especially for the fee and wages being mentioned. 👎✖️🇧🇷

[Gary Milburn @GARYMILBURN1]

This is exciting!!!!!
Not.

[Magpie 24/7 @Magpie24_7]

📰 ​Newcastle United have reportedly jumped to the 'front of the queue' to secure the signature of Juventus centre-back Lloyd Kelly this summer. According to Football Insider and former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness, the Magpies are leading the charge to resign the defender despite lacking European football next season.

​While recent Italian reports suggest Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are also monitoring Kelly, Newcastle's secret weapon appears to be the dugout. Wyness believes Eddie Howe’s established relationship with Kelly from their Bournemouth days and his brief Toon stay will be the deciding factor in bringing him back to St James' Park just 18 months after his move to Italy.

​"I see Kelly going to Newcastle as being the most likely. Eddie Howe had him at Bournemouth... there is a relationship there. He's a better fit for the Newcastle squad; he'll get more minutes and he's a 'must-have' for them, whereas he's just a 'nice-to-have' for Villa. The Howe connection will be key, and he fits Newcastle's budget. My sources indicate Newcastle is where the deal is at right now."

​Personally, I see this as a complete non-starter. With a lengthy summer shopping list already on the table, it makes zero sense to burn a chunk of our transfer budget on a position that simply isn't a priority right now.

​Why chase a position we don't urgently need when there are bigger fires to put out in the squad?

I hope Hugill comes in and does great, but this doesn’t scream mobility and high press….

Stylistic fit > Anything else

@crooktown_afc @Heatonstan Top plates this lad.

[Gary Milburn @GARYMILBURN1]

A lot of strange ones.

[Darcy Sutherland @DarcySutherlan4]

The Maguire family confirming exactly what I said earlier, absolutely embarrassing. You’d think it was prime John Terry that was being left out the way these clowns are going on.

[Gary Milburn @GARYMILBURN1]

Henry,
Quarter’s at best.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Inevitable and understandable debate about the omissions (especially Maguire, Palmer, Alexander-Arnold) but this is still a good squad. England World Cup 26...

Goalkeepers: Pickford, D Henderson, Trafford.

Defenders: Burn, Guehi, James, Konsa, Livramento, O’Reilly, Quansah, Spence, Stones.

Midfielders: Anderson, Bellingham, Eze, J Henderson, Mainoo, Rice, Rogers.

Attackers: Gordon, Kane, Madueke, Rashford, Saka, Toney, Watkins.

Dan Burn must have touched the ball 30 + times in the 1st 12 mins!!

[Scott Wilson @Scottwilsonecho]

Bowen's deflected cross finds its way to Rice at the back post - he chests the ball down, but his shot is straight at Strakosha, who saves. #ALBENG 0-0

[Consett AFC @ConsettAFC]

With no game today, it's a good time to thank the local businesses who give us their backing throughout the year. Where better to start than Premier Insurance, who have been our main sponsors since 2008! 👏👏👏

O’Hara’s got to be his pal.

"To say he's a rat is so unfair"

Jamie O'Hara doesn't agree with how Middlesbrough fans have reacted to Rob Edwards' departure 😕

[Gary Milburn @GARYMILBURN1]

100% agree

[Taylor Payne @TaylorandPayne]

Burn should have been taken off after his first yellow. Architects of our own downfall here. #NUFC

Please can you recommend a good beach club for a Saturday Brunch in Dubai for next week. No pumping music, no influencers just good food chilled and somewhere that gets more lively as day goes on on
