So Bruno Guimarães is leaving Newcastle.
He leaves a legend, and I wish him well. But this is the reality of football.
Kiss the badge, fight for the shirt, talk about your love for the club and being at home. Then a better opportunity comes with more money, and all of that stops existing. And we’d all do the same in his position.
I think I actually learned this during the Ashley era. When everything about the club felt broken, you realised what football actually is.
It’s the city. It’s family. The pints with my dad and cousins pre match. The post match chats in the pub.
The players are actors in a scene, and the scene changes. But the club, the city, the people, they stand.
HWTL. 🏴🏳️
No hero or legend of mine.
Don’t begrudge the move, it’s how, hiring the super agents behind backs during the WC, manipulating things BTS & dragging it out based on verbals, jumping ship at first sign of difficulty when we needed stability & “my kids are Geordies” shite. Bye
Every Newcastle fan must watch this.
– Alex Crook nonsense media narrative shut down
– No excuses with Bournemouth losing 3/4 of back line last summer
– Good recruitment solves everything (what I agree with the most!)

@SockCouncil There were no tickets on last night, completely sold out. When some season ticket holders decide they cba a couple of hours before the match everyone else has to change plans? Maybe ST holders should try turning up.
It’s funny seeing a Manchester United fan calling Newcastle United a “mid team.” But if you ask why United themselves aren’t playing in the UEFA Champions League, suddenly the explanations get very complicated.
Meanwhile, United hasn’t won at St James' Park in seven years.
Chelsea FC have also struggled there for years. Yet FC Barcelona went there within months and remained unbeaten and suddenly the usual Premier League narratives start again.
Then Liverpool FC lose to Galatasaray SK and the timeline goes completely silent.
Tottenham Hotspur also got wasted by Atlético Madrid, and somehow everyone just moved on like nothing happened despite them winning the UEFA Europa League last season before Arsenal FC have even lifted a European trophy in years.
Football debates online never fail to surprise me.
What a magnificent job Rafa has done this season. Had the players organised and committed. Well done @NUFC today the best team won. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #NEWARS@premierleague
