Great read, thanks Mark. This is undoubtedly the way forward for continuing to punch above our weight in the transfer market with this summer having proved we can’t compete on transfers at the very top end just yet. 👌

So @newcastleunited.com have cancelled the school from Dundee’s tickets for the Barcelona game blaming rogue season tickets holders, 45 of which JUST happened to be “grouped close by” enough for a school party. Riiiiiight! Pull the other one!

Nigel seems a bit triggered here.
Lying about your second home in the constituency you were elected to serve? Didn't pay any stamp duty whatsoever.
Definitely not dodgy...

I wouldn’t want this lunatic anywhere near my children’s minds.

Do you want me to have a word with Lee Ryder next time I see him in Whitley Bay Sainsbury’s? Or were you thinking bigger than that? 😂

True. New world order I guess. But the role has gone up several notches from simple journalism. A titbit here and there has turned into a full blown media empire that is now integral to transfers.

I’m sure Parma fans will be delighted to hear they’re turning down higher offers for players to benefit big clubs. Romano’s been properly rumbled this summer. We need an analytical thread from @editkev.football on the correlation between his tweets, who moved to big clubs & who their agents are!!

Fingers crossed! 👍

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

To quote Fabrizio Romano… HERE WE GO!

Great read Chris, thanks. I hadn’t realised how much of the real deal he appears to be. Surely his US/sports group experience is going to be massive for us. Is this a sign that PIF aren’t losing interest in NUFC? What would your bet be for any stadium news/decision by the end of the year?

Image is ITV News report on St George’s Cross painted on white wall of grade 2 listed building in Portsmouth, which is gonna cost a shitload to repair

Image is from the Bylines times report on the stop oil protesters who were given two years in size for throwing soup at a painting

👇🏼 Grade two listed building now needs expensive repairs, because some dickhead has painted a Red Cross on it

Hoping if caught they get same👇🏼2 years inside as the Stop Oil protesters who threw paint at a painting, who got extremely harsh sentences

Because vandalism is vandalism 🤷🏼‍♂️

Here’s some hard facts for a right wing media desperately trying to create a false narrative - Ecotricity has never had subsidies (fact one). The various industry schemes that get cited as subsidies - are not subsidies, they involve no public money (fact two).

Completely agree. But to them, it’s a movement. I can see this catching on and seeing these shirts all over the place. Nightmare.

Currently in the unusual situation of trying to work out who I’m most embarrassed for… him for meeting them, or them for meeting him. A new low.

Lol.

Genuinely one of the best debuts I’ve seen in black and white. A great value signing by Rafa at a time when you-know-who counted literally every penny. A fantastic shot stopper and a seemingly decent bloke. Best of luck.

Great news. ✊

“Can you tweet something like…”

Nearly as good as Amble… I read about Tino signing (sheepskin coat and all) from Australia. Watched his Boro debut in the bar in a backpackers at Cape Tribulation of all places. Not the greatest omen for what was to come. 🤦‍♂️

Exactly.

Please let an unfancied South American team win FIFA’s daft £100m winners prize pot! 🙏🤞🙏🤞

Robert Jenrick's Honesty-Dodging That someone as dishonest and hypocritical as the Shadow Justice Secretary was not long ago shamed out of public life is a damning indictment of the state of politics and media in the UK

Ordinary people "feel like mugs" for paying when others feel they can get away without doing so, says Robert Jenrick, who was found to have falsely claimed £122 in travel expenses, and used his own office to help a Conservative donor avoid paying £45m in tax www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

As a Newcastle fan, @spencervignes.bsky.social’s Postcards from Santiago is a superb read. I found Chile easier to imagine from my sun lounger than my home on Tyneside!! Thanks Spencer, I knew far too little about this true Toon legend. ✊ #nufc

Farage: "Lucy Connolly should not be in prison... Understand, there were millions of mothers at that moment in time after Southport feeling exactly the same way.

Connolly was imprisoned because she posted:

“Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Isn’t the real question here why anybody is asking the opinion of the father of a former Prime Minister?

Agreed. Their jittery back line will be relieved.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.

The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.
