Brilliant return to the test side for Ollie Robinson. Five for 39 and onto the honours board.

[Matty Hewitt @MattyJHewitt]

Well. That’s a statement from Ollie Robinson.

This has been some start from New Zealand. England are all over the place. Again.

[Matty Hewitt @MattyJHewitt]

Ah Cricket. Well and truly back.

First ball to Emilio Gay is a wide full toss. Slapped away for four. Lovely jubbly.

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.

He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

A top bloke. Rest in peace Colin

We are saddened to learn of the recent passing of supporter Colin Dilbo.

Colin was involved with supporter travel as well as organising the Heed Predictor League for many years, and will be missed by many.

Rest easy, Colin 🤍

@Redheugh71 Pani had a good start to the season so good to see he’s being given the opportunity to recover.

People find it tough to understand that football isn’t one linear path upwards. We’re punching well above our weight. Everyone is striving for success but you can’t all be winners!

[Matty Hewitt @MattyJHewitt]

A good platform for whoever comes in to build on. I suspect some of those players under contract who didn’t play much towards the end of the season will look to be moved on. Some of the takes after Rob going have been crazy (again).

[Gateshead FC @GatesheadFC]

Gateshead FC can now confirm its retained list ahead of the 2026/27 season.

We would like to place on record our thanks to all players departing the club following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours.

Fenton is here to STAY! 🤍🖤

We're delighted to confirm that Fenton John has signed a two-year contract extension at Gateshead until May 2028! 🤝

The 22-year-old pens a two-year extension following a breakthrough season across all competitions which saw him make 47 appearances for The Heed - the most of any player during the 2025/26 season.

John's outstanding performances in midfield throughout the campaign earned him two accolades at the club's End of Season Awards evening, as he was named both the Young Player of the Season and Supporters' Player of the Season.

The midfielder first joined the club in July 2024 and saw first-team opportunities limited during the 2024/25 season, grasping the opportunity to develop out on loan with temporary spells at Morpeth Town and Stockton Town before returning to cement his place as a first-team regular at Gateshead last season.

Great to have you with us for another two years, Fents!

The club will release details of the full retained list of playing staff ahead of the 2026/27 season as soon as it is possible.

Pep's Taxi: 10 years later! 🚖

Pep finally gets the chance to show Braydon where he kept all of those trophies... 🏆

[Matty Hewitt @MattyJHewitt]

Mark Hughes officially leaves Carlisle, with Rob Elliot set to take over.

Tough one to take for Gateshead fans. Understand the Heed are in talks with potential successors.
