Have introduced my little man to Thunderbirds today. He’s entranced. On episode 2 - I love that they seem to have an element of failure with each rescue that they they then sort out very quickly.

Weeks of being told that for a big guy he’s not great with his head. I beg to differ. Get in Woltemade! #nufc

Micah Richards claiming that Ruben Amorim “has not got the personnel to play how he wants to play." They spent £200m in the transfer window. These are professional footballers that he has had a full preseason with. Absolutely ridiculous.

They’ve quietened down a fair bit…

Just remove the American crowd. For reals.

Part of getting your coaching badges.

Read that in Mick McCarthy’s voice…

That’s basically the quote from the end of the US Office: "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them"

Imagine Reform arguing for the entire country to have access to a University education for free.

I feel like George engaging in tactical deep dives is a cry for help. Who’s taken you hostage @georgecaulkin.bsky.social?!!

Completely agree.

I’ve been avoiding pretty much every other Newcastle podcast because I can’t take the misery - but I’ll put my avoiding on hold for this.

Pretty sure why I’ve just seen why @podonthetyne.bsky.social had to part ways with The Athletic - @georgecaulkin.bsky.social got wind of this….

I think it was ready about 3 days ago to be honest…

Day on Catbells with the family, now sat at camp listening to Radiohead with an NEIPA. Perfect.

I didn’t really get it either - he barely displaced Danny Welbeck in that side, and as your stats there show, he didn’t ever have a prolific run!

Surely tomato?!

I absolutely love the quiet, out of both respect for the ducks and just pure fascination, and then the really excited reaction as they leave the building. Wonderful.

What an incredible season. First domestic trophy in 70 years. Champions League football again, with all that it brings. Stumbled over the line, but it’s the season as a whole that matters. #nufc

Don’t think I can disagree with a single one of those (apart from the in-person one, as I wasn’t there!)

I’ll take it…

Best not be for Isak…

I really don’t want it to

Bag of nerves. Why do we let football do this to us?! HWTL #nufc

#FridayFive
1. Joana, In Five Acts - Spanish Love Songs
2. What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie
3. Nice to Know You - Incubus
4. Don’t You Forget About Me - Simple Minds
5. Closing Time - Semisonic

It’s Big Al!

I think that might be useful in terms of getting Isak back involved as well - since the cup final, Isaks been off it - lack of Gordon might have something to do with it?

Within the last 12 days or so:
Newcastle 5-0 Crystal Palace
Aston Villa 4-1 Newcastle
Crystal Palace 3-0 Aston Villa

Madness.

Looking hopeful right now!
