@FabrizioRomano “Mr. Wilson sir? Mr. Tonali’s on the line rather upset and asking about urgently signing that 1 billion year contract extension…”

@Jaiathalien Irony is, his telephone started out white!

@Stejames090 #NUFC literally made worse signings in the same window ffs! 🤪

[Mark Billen @Mark_Billen]

@ThreeUK any chance of 4G being restored to Meyrick Park area Bournemouth? You switched off 3G this week too, so its total blackout now after months of 4 bar service! Why? 😱🙏

@georgelerobot Won't be easy or overnight but I think that will be his aim George. He'll see #swfc as a gem English football brand that can become a PL billboard for his businesses, on the cheap. Buy low, invest clever and with luck get there, rinse the dividends and then flip for profit.

[Mark Billen @Mark_Billen]

Mike Ashley would be great for #swfc and the negativity is bizarre. He’ll save the business, balance the books and get them into the Premier League. That’s 100% where the ambition will end, of course, but is that so awful at moment?

@BabaYoungblood Hearing Reni sing so boosted clear in the mix almost makes them sound more like twin lead vocals and it’s fantastic

@FrancisChipp Like an excited child chasing an autograph from the bloke who played Cat in Red Dwarf… “Daaaaannnyyy!!!” 🤗

@johnrobb77 @louderthanwar In many ways it was a second debut given the time away and natural stylistic jump that follows. If the first album didn’t exist to compare, a different audience might call this the greatest debut ever - I love it every bit as much, always will! 👏

“Oops, budget released!” #OBR 🙈

@HallimondKurt @NUFC Because Burn’s a CB not a left-back, EVER. There he spreads utter chaos. Add in a “shotstopper” GK who also can’t take ball to feet and has a recent fetish for punching air… No ok, we’ll “point the finger” at the left half of the club’s best centre-back pairing instead, fine! 👍

[Mark Billen @Mark_Billen]

@HallimondKurt @NUFC Kurt mate, it’s all opinions. I’m sure Botman will feel he’s been scapegoated! But Pope/Burn have been very uncertain, nervy lately and it’s contagious to a backline. But yes losing the 2nd ball everywhere on pitch must stop 🙏👏

[Mark Billen @Mark_Billen]

@HallimondKurt @NUFC Botman’s performances clearly affected by covering Burn at left back and Pope’s uncertainty. Seeing what you want and missing the point entirely, agreed.

The only Stone Rose I’ve met was kind, generous and more like an old friend. Your music means the world to me, thank you and RIP #Mani #BreakingIntoHeaven 🙏😘

[Mark Billen @Mark_Billen]

Remind me again what I pay @BCPCouncil for every month? Get your act together and fulfill BASIC services to local tax payers #garbage

[Mark Billen @Mark_Billen]

Please #NUFC bring in a creative, playmaking midfielder who can chip in with goals. Instead of collecting left wingers, just realise you need someone to unlock defenses and feed the front line! 🙏
