A surprise visit for Ivy from @anthonygordon. ❤️
Ivy, aged 5, was diagnosed with hyper IGE syndrome and has been receiving treatment at the Great North Children’s Hospital - as part of her programme of physical activity she has been visiting @NU_Foundation to play the sport she loves the most - football.
Only this time, we surprised Ivy with a very special guest…
Two beautiful moments. A young toon fan benefiting from the vibrating shirt for deaf fans (still from Isaks goal) and a Gordon cracker HWTLLLLLL #NUFC https://t.co/7psb6P2AJT
4 years ago, I wore the Newcastle jersey for the first time. At that moment, I hadn’t realized that not only was I about to become a Newcastle player, but I was also about to become a Geordie.
You might think « nice Goodbye message » but the sentiment runs deeper than any words I could say, from the very first months that I met the people of this city, I truly understood them and embraced their unwavering passion, which is why it was so important for me to give my all and if this meant to play injured or even not making statistics, I didn’t give a sh** as long as it would help my team.
Believe me, I fell for Newcastle, I had great opportunities to leave during dark days, but that was too late I was already in love, I wanted, I needed, I had to stay for helping my team to save the club from Premier League relegation because it meant the world for me.
Of course during those dark days some may have had their doubts, but I always believed in this club and look where we are today, it's just so beautiful. I'm leaving Newcastle as it should always have been and that's my greatest trophy because I was a part of it.
A deep thank you to ALL of you, my team mates, the loyal fans, the staff, the Club, etc… I’ve seen all your messages, thank you and even though this chapter has ended, the story never stops. Newcastle is home now, I'll continue to be your biggest supporter, I'll watch every game and as long as the club keeps winning I'll be the happiest man in the world… and for sure you will see me again 👀
I love you, I love you sincerely, I love you like a Geordie brother. Once a Geordie, always a Geordie 🖤🤍

Christian Atsu truly was a lovely, humble man who served #NUFC well and today’s news is so, so sad. The club are planning a minute’s silence before today’s game. RIP, Christian.

The best defensive record in the Premier League alongside the revival of Miguel Almirón, here’s how Eddie Howe’s @NUFC are shaping up so far.
