The 24/25 season was historic for #NUFC. Howe turned a rough summer into our first major domestic 🏆 in 70 years—and UCL qualification.

But success brings expectation. With PSR easing & more games in 25/26, fans & Howe expect investment.

But who to buy? Welcome to my third annual Summer Transfer 🧵

YouTube video by EFL Carabao Cup Final 2025: Liverpool FC vs Newcastle United | Behind The Scenes 🏆

With apologies* for spamming my non-mag mates. However, if you’re of a black and white persuasion still hoovering up footage (carry on, I still regularly watch the 92-93 season review), try this official release. Only 5k views on YouTube but it’s the one that will hit. youtu.be/ZdMGpYzu5lo?...

As well as the prices there's also a lot to be said for how many fantastic historic buildings (mostly banks) up and down the country that, without Wetherspoons, would have long since been demolished or carved up into flats / some other business with the interiors never to be seen by the public again

Cheers Jeff, much appreciated!

Why obtaining planning permission might not be as tricky as many assume: tf1892.substack.com/p/a-new-stad...

They'll make a big play on the enhanced setting to Leazes Terrace and the economic boost to the city both during the demolition/construction work and the additional spend from an extra 15k fans on matchdays and other events: tf1892.substack.com/p/a-new-stad...

You need to get yourself to Galashiels for this physics-defying beauty of a stand at Netherdale

Could a new stadium be built on Leazes Park? It’s a conservation area and surely there would be a world of objections?

Maybe? Maybe not?

My thoughts on why planning permission for Leazes Park isn't impossible here, but will obviously need the Council and politicians on-side: tf1892.substack.com/p/a-new-stad...

Great piece Chris. Interesting to hear that there doesn't appear to have been much discussion between the club and the council / other stakeholders. If they intend on moving to Leazes Park, that will be key. Would be v strange if they present it as an option without informal backing from the Council

TF Match Report - Manchester Utd 0-2 United How deep did your own personal trauma go?

You will simply not read a better match report than Matthew Philpotts’ magnificent missive from the away end at a disbelieving Old Trafford - you NEED to read this -

His ability to win free kicks absolutely massive away from home. Helps relieve so much pressure.

Some 1st half performance. Best half away from home since West Brom 0-3 under Pardew?

On Leazes Park, or elsewhere in the city centre, I would imagine any car parking proposed/allowed would be minimal, so not including a large amount of car parking wouldn't likely be an issue for the Council. 2/2

So in simple terms, there has been a massive shift in planning policy in the UK in the last 10 years or so towards sustainable development, and a large part of that is ensuring accessibility by public transport / minimising the need to travel by car. If a new stadium were to be permitted 1/2

How do you go from that 1st half to that 2nd half? What an infuriatingly Jekyll and Hyde team this season. #nufc

If only Isak had buried that sitter at 1-1 🙄 #nufc

Beat 45 mins away from home all season, by some distance. Extremely unlucky not to be ahead

Hahahaha made up for it 🤣🤣

That's three goals since Wednesday we've gifted the opposition from sloppy passes in midfield. Nowhere near good enough. #nufc

Harvey Barnes man. What the fucking hell is that. Best we've played away from home all season and we had goals away on a plate.

Catch that Pope man.

What the fuck are you playing at Isak? Fuck sake

Get in! Great header!

Hall could maybe have got a bit tighter but that's a great goal, tbf

Brentford may be top of the table for home form (P7, W6, D1, L0), but...the teams they've faced sit 17th, 20th, 14th, 19th, 18th, 9th & 16th in table.

Newcastle's last three results at the Gtech:

✅ 4-2 win (2024)
✅ 2-1 win (2023)
✅ 2-0 win (2022)

Anyone got the Venn diagram of the people who continually slated Howe for wrecking players physically last season and those now apoplectic because Tonali (“He can play two games in three days for Italy”), Gordon and Miley aren’t starting?

Far too measured a take.
