I hope some of the whoppers on here that were slagging @jamiereuben, @PIF_en, Wilson and Hopkinson off for ruining the club less than a month ago feel suitably stupid, and are going to be equally effusive in their apologies.....

When you realise life isn't all about designer clothes, handbags, jewelry, and fancy restaurants. Taking your dog to the beach suddenly goes from a 10-minute drive to a 90-minute drive, provided there are no London traffic jams. You've been outed for forcing your transfer when the season is still in play against the club who supported you when banned and expected the fans to nice to you.
Realising you joined the 17th worst team in the PL because the manager is from Italy and offered more wages, but he's probably not going to last until Christmas.
Considering the departures over the last 12 months that we’ve seen, IF Murphy does move on, I hope he gets one of the most heartfelt, fun and appreciative highlights leaving videos - his contribution to the last 5 years cannot be underestimated both on and off the pitch #NUFC
He’s going to go back to work knowing he’s been plastered all over the Internet for snatching Isak’s shirt from a kid.
Imagine being a grown man, going viral, and becoming known as the guy who tried to take a football shirt from a child. What an embarrassing way to make the headlines.
Five heatwaves in one summer - so far. Record levels of wildfires, burnt homes, dead people and Billions wiped from our economy. This story adds global context and emphasis. We are in a climate crisis. People who deny that, like @TiceRichard - are dangerous, he does it out of political expediency, I reckon. But the climate crisis is and should be way bigger thing than that. Maybe it is time to criminalise Climate Denial…?

Last season at SJP, Liverpool’s fans were full of themselves with Free Isak patter and acting like entitled pricks.
This season, they stood and silently watched him have another all-time stinker.
Life comes at you fast.
A thought on football…
Man Utd, who haven’t been a great team for many years, have now bought three (more) expensive midfielders.
Aston Villa, who won a European trophy, have to sell to avoid punishment.
The system, which was supposed to impose financial stability, now does everything to preserve the advantage of the top teams. There is almost no jeopardy for them and no path to the top for the rest.
It works if you see the Premier League as basically five or six famous teams, with a supporting cast who don’t really matter. And that, I suspect, is a lot of people, around the world.
If your passion is solely for the famous clubs and the superstar players, then fine. There’s a half-and-half scarf waiting for you.
But for the rest of us, there is a gnawing feeling of disconnect and disappointment, exacerbated by the actions of FIFA.
When I grew up, watching from the terraces at Upton Park, football was a game that belonged to the fans. Does it still?
Thank you to all our members that helped @worflags this week with the display. Great to see some of you today.
Tomorrow is going to be emotional as we honour King Kev. If you are at the match please get to your seat in plenty of time before kick off to play your part in the display 🤍🖤🥺 #NUFC
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Football needs to reevaluate its rules on finances. Teams being forced to sell their best players damages everything that is good about the competition. It’s killing the hopes, dreams and ambition of every club except the elite.
Newcastle have no European football next season yet out of their first 10 fixtures 9 are scheduled for TV with only one 3pm kickoff.
I can remember when 3pm Saturday was match day....... shocking for the match going fans
I never met Jason Arday, and know nothing about him beyond what I have read, seen and heard in the media.
As the debate around him raged in recent weeks, I stayed out of it, precisely because it struck me as one of those occasional frenzies in which facts get lost and humans cease to be treated as humans. I now wish I had reached out to him, tried to encourage him that “this too shall pass.”
Many people today, those who knew him above all but also many like me who didn’t, will be feeling sadness and anger that this has all led to his death, a family suddenly without a father, parents without a son. None of us will ever know exactly what was going through his mind, but it is hard to disagree with @MayorofLondon that Jason Arday faced “an unacceptable public hounding and campaign of abuse … pernicious public shaming that other people in his position wouldn’t have faced.”
Whatever the truth of the allegations against him, would he have suffered such a hounding had he been white, with short hair? I doubt it. The zeal with which the Trumpian anti-DEI brigade in the U.K. leapt on this story to try to push back the wheel of progress towards genuine equality was horrible.
Again, Sadiq is right to say “His death was a tragedy but it should be a wake-up call for all of us.”
RIP Jason. And to all of us, if ever you think someone you know may have cause to be suicidal, reach out to them.
The guy who posts AI images of himself saving George Washington and fighting alongside Revolutionary War heroes hid in a catering truck while his own allies and the media boarded the plane HE thought Iran might blow up.
AI Trump: “I’ll save America!”
Real-life Trump: “You guys get on the plane. I’ll be hiding behind the potato salad.”
