Gaining a few new pals on here so for those thinking about following, here's what you can expect:
- #NUFC news and bland opinions
- The odd woeful cricket take where I criticise a player just before he makes 270no
- NE non-league football insight from a super-stressed chairman
You lucky lot! 🤝

I cried in the first half, wept buckets at full time and again when I wrote this.

I saw grown men weeping in the Newcastle United end - I was one of them
The emotion was just too much for thousands of Newcastle United fans as we finally saw a cup final win at Wembley

Tough tough watch. Ponderous in possession, so many players off the boil.
At the other end, they look nervous and lacking structure/solidity. Liverpool will destroy this defence on this viewing

Going to struggle to create much down that left side - getting into great positions but then it stops and slows down as Livramento and Barnes come back inside

That's a very good Liverpool side. There are areas of concern for #NUFC - Bruno and Gordon's form, injuries, Pope, goals conceded...
The Carabao Cup final will be won and lost in midfield though. Liverpool are so strong there. Newcastle need Joelinton back and Bruno on song.

One thing that doesn’t bother me about Wembley trip is Trafalgar Square. Enjoy the occasion, yes, but a small-time ‘look at us on our day out’ mentality doesn’t sit right.
Turn up, win the game, THEN have a party.
I’ve been to Wembley 5 times with NUFC. It is utter shit when you lose

Controlled aggression.
Spiky yet serene
Relentlessness rewarded

End of a busy first week as head of sport for Chronicle and Gazette
I made a couple of mistakes and we got a few things right too. Regional sports media is tough right now but looking forward to next 6 months, developing the coverage - and hopefully with some success on pitch 🤞
Now…I need a drink!

The one-two between Scholes and Beckham 👌
No better way to mark Emile Heskey’s birthday than by reliving that incredible moment in Munich.

I mean, I like Ian Wright and Sir Les but calling them ‘2 of the best strikers ever’ is a stretch

I’ve already gone on record to say that Kieran Trippier is the best right back I’ve seen at Newcastle.
The way Lewis Hall is going, I may have to review my left back choice too…!

Unreal first 30 minutes for United - absolutely smashed their opponents. Outstanding performance and win - should have been even more.
What a way to end the year for #nufc 👏👏👏

Man City have relied so much on Rodri, KDB, Foden and Haaland the last 12 months.
Rodri - cattled
KDB - done
Foden - out of form
Haaland - needs the other 3
