Jamie Smith

I only know it was a bank cos it says BANK in big bastard letters over one of the doors

Dapped into Revolution for one of my lonely pints. Feels like this bar has been part of my life forever, proper night spot back in the day and now I’m having steady beers here. Always loved the building, proper Toon classic

I’d accept a mere 20 minutes

Mates sending the sort of piss poor pre-pub messages that scream “Jamie sat on his own for two pints” ahead of tonight. #NUFC #NEWBEN #ShitMates

Thanks to @georgecaulkin.bsky.social for kind words on my write up on the Howe/Ferguson comparison for The Mag, am a bit behind but caught up now!

My Dad (former sailor) would have regular rants about Collingwood not getting his due place in history, which would involve many of the reasons in this thread, ultimately that Trafalgar was Collingwood’s victory as Nelson died halfway through. He always blamed Southern/London bias

Here’s one for you all, who is the manager I’m talking about here? Related to a question I dropped in your Q&A and answer in the link below…

Wrote this. There are spooky comparisons between Eddie Howe and Alex Ferguson and you don’t have to go further than the first couple of paragraphs to see them #NUFC

I was there and I can assure you it’s the ramshackle surroundings of the Baseball Ground. PP arrived a couple of years later

Possibly. Feels like they seem to have the beating of the premier league on this sort of thing though.

I think this season has the look of Man City putting together an unstoppable run from Christmas onwards and gazumping the pair of them

Mine is just taking a silent approach I think I’m in serious trouble. Oh well, Everton away beckons

Seems to have been a colossal oversight. Two working days have passed in October without #NUFC taking money out of my bank account, is something wrong?

Today was a welcome return to such happiness… Newcastle 2 Nottingham Forest 0 - Today was a welcome return to such happiness…

Match report from #NUFC v Forest where I let slip how utterly furious I am with Matz Sels for becoming a top PL keeper after turning in such shit shows in goal for us he threatened to single handedly strand us in the Championship until Karl Darlow came to the rescue

I’ll get the hang of it Chris don’t worry. The main attraction for me was the opportunity to ask questions ranging from the bemusing to the downright irritating

Whoa slow down there Einstein. So I can effectively remove the Bog Standard version from my library and all will be covered is what you’re saying?

I have just subscribed and am relatively discombobulated at the fact that the bonus is a separate pod altogether in the library, requiring secretarial and organisational skills of someone who works at NASA.

The Mackems always have legitimacy on their side - it’s their team from their family area and it’s mainly a thankless task supporting them. Plastic Man U fans sniping at people cos they’ve falsely aligned themselves with “winners” thinking it runs off on them is a disease.

Bradford is no place for happy endings

I went to Bradford away a couple of weeks before Christmas 1999. I’d just split from a lass and was feeling a bit down. I had to get a bus through Bradford and back to see a useless version of #NUFC lose 2-0. Think Dean Saunders scored. Redemption tonight please Eddie x

Does he just stay warm with a red wine buzz? He’s smaller than me but looks fatter so it would likely balance out and fit, where can I collect?

I’m on a train back from Edinburgh heading straight to the match with only a hoody as a top layer. Just in case you know of anyone with a spare coat…

Just grabbed some stuff for the gym and only just realised I’ve gone full kit wanker

Hang on, what do I say if he wants one at the next game? Newcastle 1 Barcelona 2 - Hang on, what do I say if he wants one at the next game?

Barcelona, St James Park, #NUFC in the Champions League. At the match with my boy and other great things adding up to me disregarding my principles at the club shop www.themag.co.uk/2025/09/hang...

This goes against everything I believe but the boy has always had a thing for Barcelona #NUFC #NEWBAR

Until someone reminds me it was the first of Nick Woltemade’s 200 goals for Newcastle United… Newcastle 1 Wolves 0 - ‘Until someone reminds me it was the first of Nick Woltemade’s 200 goals for Newcastle United…’

A memorable first for Big Nick and #NUFC

If you were in Newcastle for the league cup game with Bradford City there wouldn’t be general sale tickets, never mind Champions League. Every game at SJP is an oversubscribed bun fight
