@ToonPolls Sorry like, but he’s the captain. Appreciate last season was a little (very) shite, but he’s the captain and leader of the team. He should show his teammates and the fans some respect at the very least. Completely ruined his legacy. No one is bigger than the club
🚨 Yet more feral kids killing wildlife - if they're your kids, take a good long look at yourself.
The little hedgehog that was being kicked around like a football by kids in Maidstone hasn't been doing well.
Even though he was taken to a vet by a DPD driver before he was transferred here, a further and thorough assessment by our vet under sedation today found that his upper palate had been broken and his liver lacerated from the impact of the blunt force trauma inflicted.
He was helped across the rainbow bridge.
It's not often I cry even though I see some awful injuries and unimaginable suffering on a regular basis but this little one was a baby and had his life intentionally kicked out of him before he had even had a chance to live one. By children. 💔
Thorne Hedgehog Rescue.
In the first two years post-takeover, Newcastle were building a quality side. Bruno G, Botman, Isak, Gordon, Tonali, Hall, et al.
From September 2023, the financial rules stopped them from signing anyone significant for three windows - despite having owners worth almost £1trillion.
Now they are being picked off. Needing to sell to buy.
Any PL club can spend £70m on a player. Only a select few can fork out £300k-a-week on half their team.
Restrictions were introduced to prevent clubs from going bust. An unforeseen (conspiracy theorists may claim deliberate) consequence ensued. Every club must now stay in their lane.
Those outside the “big six” in 2015-16 (when PSR was introduced) might have a fling with cracking the elite. But the financial order will soon push them back to where they belong.
Newcastle - and other aspirational clubs like Aston Villa - are now stuck in a catch-22 situation. They cannot afford to blunder a singing.
Anyone who comes good will inevitably be sold - and I’m not sure how that changes. If the measures were introduced at any other point in English football history, a different set of clubs would make up the “big six”.
They are simply lucky. The other 14 should recognise PSR/SCR for what it is….
Financial Un-Fair Play. #NUFC
player relegated twice in two seasons and not even making the Portugal WC squad going for £85m… and to the team who finished 17th at that…
The markets gone absolutely honkers
That Anthony Gordon performance is why many Newcastle fans weren't too bothered about him leaving this summer.
Games against low blocks and deep defences or lesser sides, he doesn't show up.
Everything he tried tonight went wrong because he didn't have the space that makes him so effective, time for Rashford to start. #NUFC
Miguel Almirón covered his mouth and was shown a red card, plus an additional one-match suspension. ❌🇵🇾
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham covered his mouth against Ghana but walked away without a red. 🤔🏴
Same action, different outcomes… interesting debate on consistency in decision-making at this World Cup.

15 minutes in:
- Hincapie not booked for kicking the ball away
- Saka has hand balled it in the box
- Arteta hasn’t been in his technical area once
- Trossard assisted a goal with his arm
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The pricing for our friendly against Everton is nothing short of a disgrace.
A standard seat behind the goal will cost an adult £70+ once fees are included. A reminder, this is a Friendly, kicking off at 5:15pm midweek 90+ miles away.
Football has a serious problem.
