100%. Particularly as the white shorts clash more than our home kit would.

Quote from Leeds manager. Unfortunately for him, Calvert Lewin has among the very worst stats in league history at chance conversion, so ‘on any other day’ he would have missed just as many chances.

Hmmm. It’s close because Kane is 20 years younger, but I think I’ll still go for Shearer.

Most political parties have leaders with different political instincts from their supporters…but feels like Reform are an extreme version of this.

I think whoever controls the alerts for cricinfo has been at the cooking sherry these last couple of weeks - every five minutes is seem to be getting an alert on Washington Sundar… he’s brushed his teeth, he’s having a cup of tea. Why would I be at all interested? #cricket

I thought exactly the same. Strong team though.

The ‘seeing a specialist’ line isn’t helpful in calming nerves- but Joelinton saw a knee specialist at the end of last season who basically said ‘put your feet up you’ll be fine in a couple weeks’ so it doesn’t mean a serious injury.

Murphy makes a lot of sense in a team with a strike to cross the ball to.

Always amazed by how often in England home matches you can hear the players shouting to each other. You never hear this in Prem matches #nufc #engand

Came to watch Woltenmade, staying to watch Sauer

Thank you - just done. But really? Is that what you have to do? That feels a bodge rather than good user experience. But thanks for the suggestion.

Is there an #nufc Feed on here which isn’t just all Liverpool news? I’m really struggling to find one.

I’m happy flipping Isak for Wissa and Woltemade - that feels like a much less risky proposition from injury pov than the Isak/wilson combination of recent seasons where at least one of them always seemed to be injured. Between them the two W’s have only missed 8 games in 3 years.

If we get another prem league level striker in today NUFC will had a decent transfer window. But this will be despite rather than because of the way the club is run - serious lack of experience at top levels of club.

The majority have invested to turn a profit though… I think the model is working class kids buy shirts/tickets/pay TV…a big chunk of which goes to foreign billionaires

Waiting until January would be high risk if Liverpool really wanted Isak ( I’m not convinced they do). If one of the elite strikers does his cruciate, other big teams would be in the hunt and whilst Isak is on record as saying he wants Liverpool…he used to say that about Newcastle

Liverpool seem incredibly half hearted about the whole Isak thing now - feels to me like they are taking the view Isak not playing for anyone this season suits their purposes almost as much as him playing for them… without having to spend anything

Joe Root has more substance than Winston Churchill. In a pinch I know who I’d rely on.

I do like the current crest but it just doesn’t work for smartphone/ social media era - anyone who has tried to do a logo that works within Facebook’s 196x196 pixel limitations for profile pics will confirm busy designs like the current crest just don’t work.

Are those the urinals or the sinks (hoping the answer is not ‘both’)

ZIM-A vs DURH Cricket Scorecard, 2nd Match at Harare, March 18 - 20, 2025 Get cricket scorecard of 2nd Match, ZIM-A vs DURH, Durham in Zimbabwe 2024/25 at Takashinga Sports Club, Highfield, Harare dated March 18 - 20, 2025.

Whilst I'm sure a lot of team building benefits to Durham's tour to Zimbabwe, feels like they may get more out of it from a cricking POV playing stronger opposition www.espncricinfo.com/series/durha...

Whilst it’s true Bryson Carse’s fc record is modest, I would point to the time of year FC is played - green tops in April aren’t exactly the best showcase for a bowl it halfway down the pitch bowler, and he’s often not bowled that much given Durham have high quality options for those conditions

Very sad that JG Windows in Newcastle Central Arcade has closed today for good. I’ve bought 3 guitars there, including my first ever electric. Although Newcastle still blessed with other guitar shops sad to see the demise of an icon.
