"Pundits know nothing" Example #456723

Did Clinton Morrison actually see what Mike Ashley did? Because it’s the polar opposite of what he says he’s hoping for. #nufc

Of course, he could just be another shill… 🤔
Picture of Clinton Morrison in an article with quotes that he’d be fine with a Mike Ashley take over of Sheff Wednesday as he will "know the size of the club, and as long as he comes in and invests, treats the fans and everyone with respect and has the drive and ambition to get the club back to PL then I’m happy"

I mean, the common sense approach would be to end games with multiball instead of a penalty shootout…

Excellent debut piece of writing for TF from Steve Tallantyre - exiled in Barcelona with Catalan bairns with B&W blood - a great read -

Didn’t have this on my 2025 football bingo card.

There’s a reason he never wore our Number 9. That’s all you really need to know. #nufc

Anyone know the odds on Isak to Bayern Munich? #nufc

Ugh. This CL draw shows everything that’s wrong with football. 🤮 #nufc

Just because it’s on Instagroan, doesn’t mean it’s him. It’s his agent cranking up the poker stakes. That’s all. #nufc

To which every fan of football should be
asking: what is the point? This isn’t a sporting competition. It’s a pissing contest. 🥱 #nufc

Nothing has changed since yesterday. #nufc Ornstein has called up Isak’s agent and put Downie’s “More likely that he’ll stay" Sly Sports piece to him to get a quote to get more clicks and sell advertising space (and maybe more - who knows?). There’s a story for a *proper* journalist to follow…

Today, I’m reminded of 2 things.

1. “We’re not here to be popular. We’re here to compete."

2. "If you can’t fight a fair fight, don’t fight fair."

Isak goes nowhere. 💪 #nufc

Jason Howe. Eddie’s alter-ego. #nufc
Headline from BBC Sport: “Howe on Botman’s fitness, Murphy’s magic and facing Emery at Villa Park” accompanied by a picture of Jason Tindall - who took the press conference.

Win this and we’ll have won more games than Arsenal. Bet you don’t hear that on Sky, BBC, Talksh*te and the rest. #nufc

Anyone who was at St James’ when Shearer scored the volley against Everton knows that Sandro did exactly the same - turned his frustrations into a game-changing moment and dragged the team forward. Shearer meant it. Sandro too. It’s what world-class players do. 💪⚫️⚪️ #nufc

The emotion can wait #nufc. It’s not about what anyone else says or does. It’s in our hands. We’ve a job to do. We’re here to compete. Be the best of Newcastle. United. Be ruthless. Let’s get it done. 💪⚫️⚪️
