Although I have a deep and visceral dislike of Chelsea, Arteta’s obnoxious theatrics are challenging me greatly in my consistent dislike of the team in blue.

@theathleticfc.bsky.social has reported Tonali’s agent ‘offered him’ to Arsenal. No business thought to get done. However, it is a sense of where we are post-Isak that our top players are being touted by their agents to clubs above us in the food chain. We’ll be vulnerable in the summer too.

Chapeau 🖤👏🎩🤍
I’ll tell you something for nowt an’aaall - #NUFC completely selling out the 6k+ allocation away to Man City next week, 2-0 down from the first leg is phenomenal support. So stick that in your pipes and smoke it 🤭🏁🏁🏁

It will be a sad day on the B&W planet when Dan Burn is no longer an #NUFC player. Smashing player, lad and professional.

Newcastle United would be justified in making an official complain to to UEFA about the standard of refereeing last night in Paris. Inconsistency doesn’t get anywhere near it. Abysmal.

Ramsay put in a performance last night that could prove the opinion below gloriously wrong. Only one game though. Need more of the same and a good run.
I’ve slept on that result and I’m strongly of the view last summer was a complete disaster - a DoF deserting the club after doing nothing positive, forced into selling our best player and making poor signings - Elanga, Woltermade and Wissa. Ramsey doesn’t look that much of an upgrade on Longstaff
