Everybody watching this game could see BDB was having a nightmare second half and that it was only a matter of time before it cost us. I'm sorry to say Howe has made a massive mistake by not hauling him off earlier like.

The More Reform Talks, the More the Mask Slips. So I Say… Give Them the Limelight. And as Caerphilly showed, let more of the public see that the supposed groundswell of support for Reform is nothing but Farage’s cigarette smoke and mirrors.

This might be controversial…

But given that the more Reform talks, the more the mask slips

I say…

Give them the limelight.

Not looking to score points here, the quality of decision making generally is another matter entirely!

So are they now saying VAR will only look at potential violent conduct if the player on the receiving end goes down? Wow. #NUFC

No, but I was watching 'Machete' today and the De Niro character's election campaign was spooky - right down to fences on the Mexican border and an assassination attempt!

Turns out if you tap Carragher's "it went too far, a banner saying β€˜Get into them’" comments into a scouse translation app, you get this:

Whilst I share your annoyance at Liverpool fans getting tickets that many of us are desperate for, that still leaves a ratio of 48:1 in our 'end'. I think we'll be OK...

You've GOT to be kidding me!

The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...?

So incredulity aside, what about the list itself?

I think we may have reached the point where Isak's next appearance at SJP will make the welcome afforded to Michael Owen seem affectionate #NUFC

I know this sounds like I'm a right twisty bugger, but Saturday will be my son's first game and he explicitly asked me if he'd see all the main players and I genuinely thought there was a high probability!

So, #NUFC announce a revamped self cup which suggested we'll get a full strength team instead of half 1st teamers one day and half the next. It sells out an THEN they announce another friendly the day before. I mean, I admire the marketing but howay man, that's conned a few people...

Amongst all that, he's also complaining about health insurance in Spain. Which is what Farage wants us all to pay in the UK!

Mental isn't it, my 14 year old has been in adult sizes for a couple of years now. Might do the same as you once he hits XL though haha

So by my reckoning the price of the new #NUFC kit has gone up by 6.2% from last year, 50% higher than inflation for the year up to April 25 which was 4.1%.

Ridiculous.

A decent read from 2022 on a possible badge update, including what I think is a palatable suggestion from someone in the business. Doesn't have to be the own goal that a complete redesign could turn out to be #NUFC

From the Ronny 3 years ago (when it was readable). If we 'have' to do it, this works for me www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

We can only hope they massively fuck up and expose themselves as the charletons we know they are. Not good for the decent people of Durham, but might be for the greater good. Especially if it makes Labour realise that they are failing us right now by being anything but what we expect from them.

Do you have a source for this? I work in the public sector & believe most pay deals are implemented in the summer (if you're lucky). Plus, much of any public sector pay rise is recycled straight back to the Treasury via PAYE,NI,VAT etc with the rest going into the private sector to be taxed again.

So, when #NUFC kick off at 2pm it's 'switch over to SSN for more reaction. When it's Liverpool, it's let's ignore the 4:30 game for a while. Standard.

I'm wondering if, in part, the lack of a parade or talk of 'a small parade' is linked to the Police having to deal with the mackems hosting Milwall on the same day...

Genuine question, do you think the lack of a parade is linked to the Police having to deal with the visit of Milwall down the road on the same day? @nufctrust.bsky.social @nusc.bsky.social @newcastleunited.com #NUFC #CouldHaveBeenSunday

Agreed, especially in March! But even having that as a destination would be better. Like in 93 when the parade ended at the Civic Centre and they gave speeches from the balcony.

This might be the first time #NUFC have managed to ruin my weekend before it even arrives. Was properly looking forward to taking the bairn next Saturday but now looks like we might be frozen out of that too. Am fuming.

100%, it's a very poor decision imo

A rare opportunity when those not lucky enough to be able to obtain or afford a season ticket or membership could get to see the lads in the flesh and celebrate a great achievement and they are at the back of a queue that shouldn't exist.

I'm sorry but this is absolutely shite by @newcastleunited.com. The whole city should have the chance to welcome them back home instead of this register interest and you might not even get in rubbish. #NUFC
