Stephen Best

And of course he’s there …

Small sample size alert here. But the image on the left is how Anthony Gordon's data looks when played as a striker through 6.7 minutes worth of 90s playing. On the right we have Isak from last season🫠

Now Gordon isn't as good a finisher as Isak, but in terms of what #NUFC need from a striker...

A special night in Baku! 🤩

I’ve got one of them too

Sandro Tonali is the first player to score two goals from outside the box in a single game for Newcastle since Mohamed Diamé vs Preston in the League Cup back in October 2016. (Opta)

Red card all day, that. This referee’s been hopeless

Have they turned offsides off?

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

I did, I’d been warned before it came out that it wasn’t up to much so my expectations were low. I liked it though

That super over was amazing. Jimmy Glass the goalkeeper?

I hope so, they’ve only released 5 or 6 albums in 26 years but they’re great. I saw them with Elbow supporting in Newcastle Uni in 2000 and it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to

I’ve often wondered how much money I’d have saved if I hadn’t been preoccupied by football for the last 40 years.

It’s been worth every penny, even when we were shite, football’s great

Ah that should be a good one. I’m not sure if Jini’s touring with them again yet

Actually, just listen to the whole of Lost Souls

With that in mind, you should all listen to The Cedar Room by Doves at the earliest opportunity

Every now and then I’ll listen to a song that I love and that I’ve loved for ages but I’ve forgotten how much I love it until I listen again and think “fucking hell I love this”

Ah bollocks

That was great

That was Ricky Martin?

A very satisfactory first half , that

Not today, obviously

I like how Sunderland have more than one player who sounds like a dog speaking. Robin Roefs obviously, but I’d also include Brian Brobbey.

One of my favourite footballing sights is an early goal for the away team at West Ham when the bubbles are still in the air

Newcastle United

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

43 now but the same applies
