@neilTheMagpie @LukeEdwardsTele @premierleague You're right, the gap will get bigger as our buy young sell mature strategy has an inherent risk that the players don't come through and establishes a ceiling beyond which we alway lose our players. Sad to say the big 6 are un a league of their own, starting to wish they had left

@ModManSka @NUFCBrace Pilgrim Street development was in progress long before takeover of NUFC. The developer is Reuben family but is in no way related to PIF or the club.

North East of England was chilly until yesterday and pleasant today same in Scotland. The worst thing about the heatwave is listening to Southerners bleating about it. #R4Today

@Englands_NE Agree, and it runs both ways, the 'north' as understood in Manchester is a central belt encompassing the NW and Yorkshire. We in the NE need to know this and stop just nodding along with initiatives that helps them not us. Rail plans never gets to the NE and as for the Olympics..

@BBCNews Drzzle and a bit grey in the toon

@405Automation Got to agree, this should be an embarrassing admission that we've failed to fulfil the ambition that was promised to fans and players following the takeover, but instead there's pats on the back.

@iamlukedavidson A football club is nowt without heritage. This shirt just takes the heritage and chucks it in the skip.

@st3vat @trendy_wi777ard @Magpie24_7 There aren't financial restrictions on infrastructure spend.

@BROWEA No CEO no DoF and no owner strategy over Isak, and he says Howe must go. We've had 3 good cup runs this season but have struggled in the league. Not surprising given our wage structure

@NUSCuk As a kid in the 80s I'd bunk off School and wander into Benwell TG, collect autographs, chat to the players even have a kick around in the gymn. Looking back, lack of any security was wild!

@jonawils your @guardian_sport article seems to hold Howe responsible for the ownership mess. No CEO no DoF and no owner strategy over Isak, and you say Howe must go. We've had 3 good cup runs this season but have struggled in the league. Not surprising given our wage structure

@dazzieb78 @resfoundation @GlennMCcready Export of goods to the EU is 18% down in 24-25 compared to pre Brexit levels. Is this to be celebrated? I'm not ideological, I guess like you, I just want an improving standard of living and the Toon to win.

@Magpie24_7 I have a number 2 team, whoever's playing the mackems.

@nufctrust @NUFCMurph I've been in early on a low queue number but can only see hospitality tickets available. But found you need to login to your Mags account and then you can see the tickets.

@DanLang12 It's a good question and usually countered by 'its not my job to pick a new manager' aye, then it's not your job to sack one!

[Stan the man @blacknwhitelad]

@LukeEdwardsTele You're right, I remember Robson was slated for dropping Solano and playing Ambrose. It's revisionist history that he was always popular. And that was the start of many years of decline.

@RazerWithAKnee We were burgled loads in the 1980s even though had nowt as unemployed, great times....

@TinieMuz Don't claim any inside knowledge, but not sure if any of the signings were a Howe's first choice. Ekitike, Mbeumo and Trafford were higher on the list but we can't compete at the highest level
