📆 On this day, in 1992, the very first episode of Gazzetta Football Italia aired on Channel 4 in the UK.
People talk about football heritage a lot these days. But this, 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 truly is football heritage.

Need to see a lot more support for him.
Loads of moans and groans in the stadium yesterday every time he misplaced a pass. Couple of pissed up dafties shouting “shite” at him too.
He’s 20. New team, massive transition, new country, new language. He’s going to make mistakes.
If we’re serious about building something with a young squad, we need to give them the confidence to play through their mistakes.
He needs supporters to support him. Not abuse him.

Toughest decision of his life, so hard that he signed agents and agreed a deal to get the move before Newcastle even knew anything about it
⚪️⚫️❤️🩹 Bruno Guimarães beautiful words for Newcastle.
“This is one of the toughest decisions of my life. When I arrived, the club was in a challenging position and I am incredibly proud of what we achieved together.
"I fell in love with this place. I really mean that. From my first day, the supporters, my teammates, Eddie and the staff, and everyone connected with the club made me and my family feel at home.
"I thank PIF, our chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan and Jamie Reuben for everything they have done for me and for this football club.
"I also want to say thank you to David [Hopkinson] and Ross [Wilson] for the huge respect to me throughout this process. They did everything they could to keep me at Newcastle, and I am very grateful for our time together.
"This move is very tough because Newcastle means so much to me, but I wanted to experience something new in my life. I feel ready for a new challenge for myself and my family.
"I had a very positive conversation with Matthias Jaissle, and I leave knowing the club is in very good hands.
"To the supporters, thank you will never be enough, but I say it with all my heart. I will always be proud to have been part of this club’s journey. Thank you for everything."

At this point, Newcastle would probably be best off keeping the current crest and using a new badge (magpie, Castle Keep etc) for merchandise. #NUFC

Come September we will have:
A new manager
A new pair of goalkeepers
No more Bruno or Tonali
Bunch of brand new young players
I am all in on this era
If you're not, grow a pair of balls & get on board
Nobody or anything is bigger than the club.
Howay the fuckin lads. #nufc

A few replying saying they’re making a farewell video package. That’s really great, and they’ll get it spot on.
However, surely that can follow in the days to come.
I still maintain a short factual communication should have been forthcoming from the club today. #NUFC
Has the WiFi gone down at SJP or are they waiting to do a Howe out, Jaissle In tweet?
To not get something out the same day it’s widely known he’s gone is pretty odd NGL. #NUFC

You can be grateful & appreciative of what Howe has done for us without acting like he wasn’t gonna take us down this season, btw.
I cannot stress enough how great of a decision this is, our new manager has a HELL of a job on his hands picking up all the pieces. Leeway, plenty.

Think this should sharpen a few minds and dampen expectations at #nufc
The gap is astonishing and it shows how hard it’s been for Newcastle the last three years trying to keep pace
Interesting reading, courtesy of @TheAthletic
The Premier League is the Super League in sheep's clothing.
(1/2) Hard to describe how sad I feel at the news that King Kevin Keegan has passed away, following his battle with cancer, at the age of 75.
Although I never met him, he still managed to touch my life as a @NUFC player and manager, saving us from relegation and taking us almost

🏁 A quick Sunday Newcastle United public service announcement on behalf of common sense! 🏁
1. Bruno still hasn't gone anywhere despite Arsenal fans proclamations and social media influencers best attempts. He’s still with us, his contract has up to 3 years left, and he isn't throwing a tantrum. Nobody has triggered that £90m reported fee. 🇧🇷
2. The Manzambi deal hasn’t been hijacked. Don't swallow every rumour on your timeline. Personal terms and a club fee are already locked in and now Switzerland are out expect news soon! 🇨🇭
3. Mute or block arrogant Arsenal fans. They are as cringey as their manager. If you do your day will be better! ❌
4. Stop scapegoating Eddie Howe for every single thing. I know he's made some mistakes however if you want someone to blame for stuff then I can recommend that you blame Donald Trump for the stupid fuel prices, successive UK governments for the state of public services and transport in this country, oh and Gianni Infantino for making us have to listen to Americans call football, soccer for weeks! 🤔
5. Trust the process. Management is working hard to make the right, well scouted, data driven moves this summer, and we’ve only missed out on just one target so far. Let’s actually wait until the window closes before panicking 🪟
6. Gordon and Tonali are gone. Look, take away penalties and that one cup game against Villa, and they weren’t exactly setting the world on fire last season anyway were they? Banking £169.3m for them is insane business, Newcastle are driving hard deals and other clubs know it! (Good work Ross Wilson) 👋
7. Buying youth is literally our blueprint, STILL. This isn't some crazy new 180° change of philosophy. The last time we went on a proper spending spree, we brought in Isak (22), Gordon (21), Livramento (20), and Hall (18). Bruno was practically an OAP at 24! So don't worry that we are signing up the Inbetweeners this summer 🚌
8. Dan Burn is a World Cup semi-finalist. He's gone from pushing Trolley's at Asda to getting ready to play Lionel Messi, proving that ANYTHING is possible! In fact 2 England wins and we get an extra bank holiday! Happy days! Thanks Dan! 🌍🏆
9. Good news: The weather is finally cooling down a bit next week so you'll be able to sleep better! 🥵
10. Everton have some money to burn and don't mind targeting 30+ year old players! A possible windfall coming?💰
I’ll keep you posted right here on Magpie 24/7! 😂
#NUFC #NUFCNews #Newcastle #EPL
Let's see him do it for @NUFC before we start making claims like that 😂
Yoane Wissa is proving Eddie Howe right as Newcastle man sends firm warning to England #nufc #worldcup
