Please take a look at the trailer for my new novel 'The Man Who Lived Twice'. Hope you enjoy! https://t.co/Jlhw7YErrS

Don't you love the last hours of the transfer window when journalists invent so many transfers that never go through. I think #NUFC have bought wisely although I wish they had got Bruno's mate. Just being greedy i suppose.

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Remember the slogan: Take Back Control! Why is Boris Johnson's zombie government prepared to send multiple-launch rocket systems to Ukraine but do nothing to control soaring energy prices in the UK? Perhaps there are better photo opportunities in Kiev?

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Either #NUFC have bid for at least fifty forwards and got none of them or our sports journalists are linking us with players in whom we have no interest simply to get another story into print. Which do you think it is?

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

@ashby_tim You mean doing nothing while the weeds grew on the training ground?

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Well, there's a turn up for the books! Another job for Ashley stooge Lee Charnley. Surely the worst of many Nottingham Forest signings. #NUFC

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

I have to wonder whether too many cooks are spoiling the broth at #NUFC? The more sporting supremos we employ the harder it becomes to achieve a united front on the transfer trail. I hope I am wrong. #NUFCfans

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

I don't think #NUFC can complain if other clubs increase the transfer fees they have to pay for their new players. That's capitalism in action. It happened to City and Chelsea too, although they were less hobbled by the FFP rules. #nufcfans

Whoever heard of rats joining a sinking ship? If you are a Tory cabinet minister and you want to keep your car and other entitlements you have to endorse Liz Truss and her bold right wing policies. #CallingoutPutin #ThePorkFuturesQueen

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Liz Truss is so boring she sends her interviewer to sleep. Just the person we need in Number Ten!

Last night's encounter between England and Spain was an absolute credit to the women's game. It was full of skill and determination. Much better than one of those boring men's games between City and Chelsea where they seem to play for penalties. #NUFC

@orrible_git Manchester City have 45 sponsors! How many have we got? That's the sort of question a journalist might ask.

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Instead of endless speculation about players #NUFC are not about to sign why doesn't the sporting press discover why the club hasn't achieved a big sponsorship deal? How about these 'journalists' doing a little bit of useful research for once?

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

@The_Maremma Struggling a bit on one leg so I couldn't kick a football. Sincerely sorry about your relegation and that we played a part in it. How are you doing?

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Manchester City has 45 global and regional partners! How many has #NUFC got? Sponsorship brings big rewards in Premier League Football.

French players have wonderful talent but can be moody and selfish. Brazilians are a better buy for #NUFC. They enjoy themselves on Tyneside and are good team players.

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Today would have been the hundredth birthday of the greatest footballer I ever saw. I once played in a charity game where he gave himself passes off the goalpost and the corner flag. At golf, he threw the ball in the air and hit it coming down. Here's to you, Shack! #NUFC

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

Welcome to Chelsea FC, home of hypocrisy. After ruling the roost for a generation using a Russian oligarch's tainted money, now that they can't sell tickets, they want the Middlesbrough game played behind closed doors for 'sporting integrity'. Tell that to Putin!

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

I am not sure which is more ridiculous - newspaper football columnists and Sky TV pundits developing a social conscience about Abramovich and the Saudis or their claim that Eddie Howe should speak out on the subject. Why do they want this so badly? To make money out of it! #NUFC

[David Taylor @David_Taylor33]

The ultimate sanction. Russian banned from competing in the Eurovision song contest. That ought to stop the tanks! By the way, have Boris and Co got round to sanctioning Chelsea's oligarch? #NUFC
