🗣️ Matthias Jaissle's first words as #NUFC boss:
“It is an incredible honour to become head coach of Newcastle United. This is one of the biggest clubs in European football, with a unique history, identity and supporter base, and I am excited to experience that passion and connection first-hand.
“When Newcastle United comes your way, you take notice. The ambition of the club, the vision for the future and the opportunity ahead made this an incredibly compelling place to be. I have followed the club's journey closely in recent years and the progress that has been made is clear for everyone to see.
“I am incredibly excited about the future. I fully and unreservedly believe in this project, the ambition and the direction the club is taking. There is a clear vision, strong leadership and an exceptional platform to build on.

“I believe there is enormous potential within this squad and throughout the football club. I am excited to work with the players, staff and leadership team to help take the club forward.
"I cannot wait to get started and will attack this opportunity. I give my complete commitment and total energy to bringing further success to Newcastle United."
Newcastle United are delighted to announce the signing of Czech Republic international goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček from Portuguese side SC Braga.
The 24-year-old joins for an undisclosed fee and has penned a five-year-deal at St. James’ Park.
Welcome, Lukáš! 🖤🤍
Some sad news to bring you.
Former England player and manager Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75 after battling cancer. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
The most successful team in England in the last ten years and there were 10,000 empty Man City seats at Wembley.
And that’s after they gave some to Southampton!
Embarrassing.

Let's be honest, when Pompey just sang to Coventry "where were you when you were shit?" They have a point, this is how it looked on my visit in League 1.
11,000 there that night.
“A week is a long time in football”
Never has a truer word been said.
We were outstanding today. Before and after the red. Dealt with the worst refereeing display in a decade and went on to win the game.
Oh & without our skipper!
Congratulations to Eddie & the boys
Newcastle had to start Karius in a cup final because Dubravka was cup tied, but Man City get to play Semenyo, despite him playing for Bournemouth in the Carabao this season.
Seems totally fair.
