What I want to know is who's buying all those Nissans? #backshift #Christmasshopping

I can smell the entitlement coming all the way up from London
Eddie Howe would be the most underwhelming appointment as Manchester United manager for nearly 50 years since Dave Sexton?

For what it's worth the "new" version of the Blaydon Races is mint. Slower, proper words and the result of fan collaboration. No if we can get everyone to learn the words and not sing at 100mph we might have our own "stadium anthem"

This might be my favourite/happiest season of all time. 17 year old..match with lads from school. No expectation other than excitement at seeing a Gazza nutmeg,the Roeder shuffle or Mira shooting from 80 yards. Walking to Jesmond metro to avoid the crush back to the Coast.👍
Programme of the Day Number 64 Newcastle United v Swindon Town FA Cup 4th Round 1987/8 Up on the train to see United romp to a 5-0 win goals from Paul Goddard Michael O’Neill Darren Jackson and 2 from Paul Gascoigne Att 28699

Defence great too...Jackson and Ando ..."none shall pass" "Spotty* McDonald right back and Bones left back (party trick that season) Sarge weighing in with crucial goals and MON was showing good promise. 4th round of the cup and an 8th placed finish. Colt 45 available in cans 🍺

You can't judge us ATM using normal standards. We were a team in transition before we suffered significant injuries. We lost momentum today after 18 yo Steur's injury. Read that back and that's where we are. Keep the faith and shut out the dullards moaning because "it's Hull"

Leeds reminded me of Ossie's bairns in his diamond formation roughed up away at Southend. Appleby, Makel, Thompson, Watson, Elliott, Howey all 20 or under and Andy Hunt up front. Ardilles gone in Feb before KK appeared Video thanks @NUFC_1980_1994 youtu.be/UaeiOlYdd4o?is=DzMS…

Newcastle are walking into a completely different #Spurs. Savinho has arrived. Marmoush has arrived. Fernandes pulling the strings. Tonali is hunting. Kudus is back. And now we get to see what De Zerbi-ball looks like when the stakes are real. Pray for Newcastle. #THFC #COYS

We're a team of serious, heads doon, nacka free lads. We don't have the same quality as some but, heart and application goes a long way. In a years time we will be horrible to play against...again

Forgotten that we had gold lettering for the first few games this season. Looks canny mind
21/08/1993: Champions Manchester United faced Kevin Keegan’s exciting Newcastle United side, who had won plenty of plaudits in their first two games but had 0 points to show for it. On a sunny afternoon in Manchester, their time finally came and they earned their first point of the season. Cole scored his first-ever Premier League goal to make it 1-1, and little did we know at the time just how many he’d go on to score at Old Trafford. The home side had taken the lead through a brilliant Ryan Giggs free-kick. The plethora of dead-ball specialists at Manchester United in the 90s was quite something.

MJ clearly looking at his whole deck before making decisions. Having to use friendlies as training sessions effectively. Keep the faith. We'll beat Varpool 3-1 said the Sun God to me in a dream
