Devastated to hear about Kevin Keegan. Growing up watching football, he was one of the names that defined an era, a double Ballon d’Or winner, European Cup champion, England captain, and one of the most exciting players the game has seen.

But what he did at Newcastle was different. He turned belief into something you could feel in the stadium. King Kev wasn’t just admired, he was loved, because everything he did came from the heart.

Rest in peace, Kevin. Thank you for everything you gave the game.

What an immeasurable loss to all associated with Newcastle United. The reason I fell in love with this great club. #nufc

[Jack. @jackc1]

Rest in peace Kevin Keegan.

LONG LIVE THE KING! 🖤👑🤍

@NUFC My 2second AI regen.

@Lillico_300999 Back up keeper, a developing 18 yr old and 20yr old. Howe has a bedding in period for established players let alone these signings. None start in the first 11 by the way.

[Kevin McKenna @caoimhin85]

Newcastle United have lost Trippier, Gordon, Tonali and possibly Bruno and made zero 1st team transfers. None. Shambolic

@Joe_Doire Relegation battle written all over it

[Gianfranco Shola @GianfrancoShoIa]

I discussed this at the end of last summer! NUFC targeted uninterested players all summer, got rebuffed, continually dropped down a list of targets & overspent! We’ve learnt nothing.

[Gianfranco Shola @GianfrancoShoIa]

How long ago did Amanda leave? Even if she did say that which her husband has come out and described as “nonsense”

Surely Bruno must see that since then he’s become much more than a 50m player + become our captain etc!

The problem is he clearly wants to leave still #nufc

[Matthew Middleton @MiddleMatthew]

Just a quick reminder we havnt signed a player that improves the starting 11 yet #nufc

[Kevin McKenna @caoimhin85]

@Joe_Doire I agree mostly, I just can't cope with a club captain, who has been so vocal on it, begging to go to another prem team. Barca, Real, Bayern, Atletico or PSG no real issues. Shambles behind the scenes no doubt.

[Kevin McKenna @caoimhin85]

If Bruno G is gone. I'd go all out for Adam Wharton. #nufc

[Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas]

🚨 #nufc confirm the signing of Hoffenheim's Ivory Coast international Bazoumana Toure on a long-term contract.

Fought off competition to land him - typical of new blueprint. Hungry, young, athletic, desperate to be at #nufc and prove himself.

Eddie Howe explicitly mentions his 'high ceiling'. Exciting talent.

More deals to come - multiple being worked on...

Mental fragility is something which has been evident all season but has not been addressed. Quite simply, it’s not good enough!!

[Murph @NUFCMurph]

Players playing out of position:

Woltemade CM, should be ST
Osula ST, should be RW
Joelinton LW, should be CM
Burn LB, should be CB
Hall RB, should be LB
Murphy RW, shouldn’t be on the pitch.

Global untaxed offshore wealth hit £2.8T. A modest 1–2% UK wealth tax could fund public services with £15BN/year.

​Energy Giants: Oil & gas firms posted £26.2BN in profit since Jan 2026. Shell alone hit £5.1BN in Q1.
Tesco: £3.1BN operating profit.

​Water: £1.1BN profit.

One of Monaghan, Armagh or Down will win an Ulster title.

They’ve not lifted the trophy in 11, 18 and 32 years respectively.

Ulster championship has had 5 different winners in last 10 years with every team reaching a final since 2009.

Probably best competition in the GAA.
