@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC Newcastle aren’t content with spoiling our football for us, they have to spoil England results for us too.
Decent price, he wants gone, good riddance

@Nigel_Farage Point of accuracy (not community noteworthy) article 8 is a right to a private life and not a family life. Common law, over time, has extended this right to apply to family and social circle - it’s this that asylum seekers apply to their claims

@paddypower Is that you Fab?

@SunderlandAFC @KieranMaguire @ElvisPresley Tribute to the pink seats?
Classy

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@FabrizioRomano You know he used to play for Newcastle United? 😂😂😂

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@SkySportsNews @NUFCgallowgate Aside from the sentence being phrased slightly hypothetically, how is this not tapping up?

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@LukeEdwardsTele @FabrizioRomano It begs the question, where does reporting “news” stop and generating interest begin. Once you’ve answered that, where does unlicensed agency start

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@Ginkohro @NUFC360 Ah that’s not true.
Infrastructure isn’t included in PSR. Despite promises, none of that has been delivered and at some point, fans have to question if (not when) it’ll arrive.
Questioning what we’ve been told is a legitimate thing to do in the face of evidence to the contrary

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@NUFC360 I’m very much a glass half full fan, but even I have to acknowledge that the tangible “project” just doesn’t exist; an “imminent” stadium announcement, “world-class” training ground? Tumbleweed.
The new player trading strategy seems to walk back any early progress & big signings

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@SpeechUnion I suspect it won’t go; it comes across the Lamy is both pushing the agenda, and is totally tone deaf to feedback

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@mitch_fretton Objective don’t you think? They’ve finished below Newcastle every season since Tonali joined

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@rossgregory9 Being fair to Ross, I thought the article was decent and opinion was based on trends, established thinking and logic.
I understand the pushback against the headline as sensationalist, but it’s often the editor who writes it.

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@LFC @SportsPeteO Enjoy the bench

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@NufcNorthWales @ToonPolls I’d say there are a few factors, but it seems we haven’t addressed the cause of our failures.
A monkey doesn’t let go of a branch until he has the next, yet here we are, caught between two bus stops; the reason we can’t close deals needed to be remedied before this window.

@MsiDouglas Underrated tweet.
Best wishes,

@harrow_council The comment would land better if you have audited their work to ensure no consumers were harmed or had their right derogated.
You should also state whether you will press criminal charges and/or accept vicarious liability

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@NUFC360 I see your “announce the stadium” and raise you to “announce the stadium…clothing range. That’s £320 quid please”

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@LukeEdwardsTele I think it hurts, but fans reluctantly accept it was a rubbish decision made as a consequence of rules designed to hurt us; our youth talent ultimately advantages other teams more than us.
The bigger frustration is seeing the club not push back on the rules like other clubs

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@EternalSunrise7 @RupertLowe10 This isn’t true; RvR (1992) is an example of the law being modified after a crime in order to punish, despite there being exemption at common law.
Judgement was then upheld at ECHR on the basis it was “reasonably foreseeable”.

[Phil Hodgson @hodgepiece]

@Meep12ab @SaulStaniforth I don’t practice in criminal law, but implicitly it’s 9 inches.
The judgement previously talked about meeting religious criteria by wearing a token knife on a necklace (this was the other knife that Digwa was carrying).
At a guess there’ll be legislative reform in this area.
