Bingo. If we sell low on Isak, every other club will lowball Newcastle on everyone, all while raising amounts on players we target. It would be a disaster, which is saying something considering how shitty this window has gone.

Added to the Peter Weir and David Fincher collections, with a couple more classics added, as well. #physicalmedia

In addition to having the best manager in the PL and beyond. It’s astonishing to me that Isak has suddenly decided he’s had enough. Enough of…? He’s got a team of leaders who have each others backs, but maybe he’s just more interested in accolades.

I’m flabbergasted as to why there seems to have such a drastic shift in Isak’s state of mind. Is he being led/informed by not great people? Or does he simply think Liverpool presents the easiest chance for titles?

I’m hyped for a Miley breakout season.

That Miley cross was a thing of beauty. #nufc

Right there with you.

Bluesky sounds like Copenhagen or other cities around the world that focus on community, well-being, and connection instead of MAKE IT BIGGER AND BETTER OR IT’S DEAD like we do in the states.

Here to stay. If there is another platform if this doesn’t work, I won’t be there.

This is their schtick, though: do as I say, not as I do. Literally the opposite of Jesus who said to follow him. Wilson, RFK Jr, all these folks with mass followings are looking worse, sounding worse, and telling others what they need to do, but never holding themselves accountable.

Can’t wait for all this to wrap up, hopefully in our favor.

100%

I think the voices in the clubhouse (manager/coaches) needs to change. I keep thinking Showalter would have been perfect for this team 15 years ago, but obviously not now. I don’t know who is out there that can bring stability while challenging/attracting FA’s.

Very. Cannot raise ticket prices for a team with no (crystal) clear on-field vision for the next few years. We have the makings of something great, but until they put a consistent product on the field, raising prices is a bad look.

Right there with ya.

Yup. With AI rollouts on IG coupled with their recent “tag your location in everything so we know” stance, I’m getting very close to this being my only social account. Ditching FB 5 years ago was amazing, makes sense that IG is next.

😂

I never connected the two until now and I can’t unsee it.

These timelines make me a little nutty. Isak is all over new kit promos dating back to June/July. While they were photographed/recorded prior, I highly doubt the team would make Isak front and center if he’d given them “plenty of time” regarding the desire to move. Makes zero sense.

Meta is synonymous with Skynet and for good reason. This feature popped up on my Instagram today, which is a hard no from me. While I doubt having a private account stops Meta from abusing their power, between this and their AI profile rollout, I’m ready to leave the gram behind.

In a dream scenario, a college in England will hire me as a creative writing/poetics professor so that I can teach, raise my family in the UK, and take the train to root for #NUFC with the locals. What a world it would be.

6th, given how many questions still linger, would be welcome!

“Go all the way with it. Do not back off. For once, go all the goddamn way with what matters.”

While what I’ve read by Hemingway has been filed in the “eh, it’s fine” category, this quote gets me fired up about writing.

Big news coming soon.

Separating ourselves from the grieving process will haunt us for generations. AI has zero perspective, therefore has zero perspective when spewing about those who’ve shaped us, loved us, and cared for us in multitudes. When death/grief are natural and human, so too should the words be. Must read.

The reason cooking and writing poetry give me life is because both involve a level of creation that doesn’t need to adhere to what’s come before. Experiment. Find your flavors and your voice. You can always change the recipe, meter, or form.

Keep writing.

Not an ideal spot for Eddie Howe to be in at all. Why are the higher ups not communicating? It’s things like this that seemingly undermine a coaches voice within the team, even though said coach has changed the culture and brought home a trophy. Standing with Eddie Howe. ⚫️⚪️⚫️ #nufc

Beyond baffling.

Me reading about it all this morning. Your thoughts nail it.

Might need to lie down.

Thinking about what could have been. Thinking about all they’ve given. Damn.

Ced and now O’Hearn? #birdland

Cedric Mullins: thank you. I’ll be cheering for you, on and off the field, forever. Birdland loves you. #Orioles

Yes please.
