No one wants choice in public services. They want the one nearest them to be good.

Tbh this should be the stock response to any Isak discussion.

The entire Isak saga played out on social media could form the basis of a study on just how myopic and partisan football fans are.

Or, and hear me out here, Liverpool make a bid that is more acceptable to Newcastle.

Maybe not bidding £40M less that Milan's valuation helped too. Dunno, just speculating.

After 3 years of chasing the young German centreback, Newcastle United #NUFC are about to sign Malick Thiaw (pronounced Mal-ick Tch-ow) for a reported fee of £35m including add-ons.

Why has Eddie Howe’s & the club's interest never waned? Let’s break down what the 24-year-old will bring to SJP 🧵🔽

Thanking JJ Burnel for me understanding this 😂

Refereeing errors are far more plausible than "nefarious forms of intimidation."

Time to fry (niche tbh).

Roll back the years with Willock and Joe on the left. If Willock was in any kind of form, that is...

But did you see Paul Dalglish?

Any plans to come over to Newcastle? Always good times at The Engine Room!

Data vs. Dennis Wise Scouting Notes - A Battle Royale 🧵

Having been asked a few times for which Right Wingers (position not politics) options I’d like #NUFC to have a look at in January, I thought I’d have a bit of fun with it. So here goes:

Anyone... anyone?
