Spare a thought for our volunteers today getting drenched in the true Geordie weather. 🌂💧 We all do this in our spare time outside of day jobs and other commitments. All be worth it next Sunday! 💪⚫⚪

Media here in Spain rightly fulsome in their praise of Lewis Kieran Hall today. The ‘anti-Lamine’ passed his test with flying colours (salió airoso).

Over the past 48 hours, Iran's footballers faced a near impossible decision. Return to Iran and risk their own safety; or stay in Australia and leave their families.
Spoke to over two-dozen sources about how the six defectors' escape unfolded and the conditions they endured. Free to read:
It is a damning indictment upon Wissa & Woltemade for their form/suitability in this style really. But Newcastle as a side seem to operate better with Osula than the other two.
Yeah, that was extraordinary. He's really in form now.
He really was. Quite superb on the turn & dribbling. Top performance.
⚫ Smothering & swarming #FCB 🔀
⚪ What starting Osula says 🤔
⚫ Gordon a big plus for Camp Nou 🤞
⚪ Not clinical enough 👎 soft concessions 😖
🎯❌ Almost another famous SJP night - but brutal truth is a familiar lack of ruthlessness is undermining #NUFC's campaign:

Full-time: #NUFC 1-1 #FCB
Very cruel ending for #NUFC, who looked set to take a deserved lead to Camp Nou after Harvey Barnes' goal.
But Yamal's last-gap penalty rescues a draw for Barca.
#NEWBAR #UCL
#NUFC 1-1 #FCB
Yamal equalises from the spot. Cruel for #NUFC.
#NEWBAR #UCL
Penalty Barcelona. #NUFC
4 mins of added time.
Willock is on for goalscorer Barnes, who gets a huge ovation.
#NUFC #FCB #NEWBAR #UCL
#NUFC 1-0 #FCB
You can't say #NUFC don't deserve that. They really do.
Tonali plays Murphy in down the right, he plays a one-two with Ramsey, Murphy curls a wonderful cross in to Barnes, who is unmarked & finishes (via Garcia trying to save).
#NEWBAR #UCL
Barnes! #NUFC lead!
#NUFC #FCB #NEWBAR #UCL
Joelinton has the ball in the net but the flag is up for offside.
Gordon was played in down the right, he centred to Murphy, who passes on to Barnes, his effort is curled on to the right-hand post, then Joelinton follows up, but he's offside.
#NUFC #FCB #NEWBAR #UCL
67: #NUFC triple sub - Livramento, Murphy & Gordon replace, Trippier, Elanga & Osula.
#NUFC #FCB #NEWBAR #UCL
Back under way for the second half, with the game goalless.
No changes for either side at the break.
#NUFC #FCB #NEWBAR #UCL
Half-time: #NUFC 0-0 #FCB
#NUFC have given as good as they have got - if not probably better - & Osula has had a couple of big chances.
Barcelona restricted to very little so far. Hall has done very well against Yamal. Lewandowski hasn't had any service.
#UCL #NEWBAR
We're under way at St James' Park, where #NUFC are hosting #FCB in the #UCL round-of-16 first leg.
#NUFC are shooting towards the Leazes End during the first half.

May as well just win this, now.
☁️ Cloudy & breezy on Tyneside, but it's been a decent day & the temperature shouldn't drop too much under the lights. 🕯️
