“…end Isak’s nightmare.”
Really dislike reporting like this.
It’s hardly been a ‘nightmare’ for him at Newcastle United - paid handsomely, won a cup, increased his profile and reputation.
The ‘nightmare’ of not moving was largely his own doing. #NUFC

Had to get my thoughts on the current #NUFC situation down ahead of the new Premier League season. It's been a tricky summer with Isak wanting out, but ultimately PSR is killing NUFC and other teams that are not the so called 'Big 6'.
Hope you enjoy...

I know I shouldn’t read it, but Sky sports live commentary once again showing how awful it is. Almost justifying it for an earlier action!

Anyone know why this section of the Leazes always has a big group of people in early on? Every match it’s the same, sometimes even more than today. #NUFC

Honestly when I made and posted that video last night, I really didn't expect much from it, but as it happens it's gone straight in Number One With A Bullet! Thanks so much if you've watched it. #NUFC

Posted my first #NUFC YouTube video in 6 months last night. It's been met with a wonderful reception overall.
But, you know the internet is the internet and there's always one isn't there 😅

Nervy 2nd half but the 3 points were very welcome. Tonali’s goal, wow. Can’t ask for much more in the first match after the cup win. 9 to go… #nufc

Me and my dad in Wembley on Sunday! Not many #NUFC games I've seen without him by my side. Some good, many bad. And we've never left a game early either! @gordonthemag.bsky.social

How the hell Donald Trump managed to convince millions of people to blindly believe everything he says is unbelievable. Now, as he takes steps to become a dictator, families are ripped apart cos of his cult. His supporters still can’t see the reality 🤦♂️

Next season the Chiefs have a much harder schedule. Unlikely they’ll be getting 15 wins again imo.

The team also outplayed Arsenal for large parts. Sort of get a bit tired, every time we beat someone in a big game, that the narrative is on how we did it, in large part, through ‘shithousery’. There’s so much more to it than that. #NUFC
