“…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!

I love this team and this squad. 🖤🤍 #NUFC

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

I also mention Eddie House, the former NBA player in my video. Obviously. #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

Still nervous at 3-0 🙈 #NUFC
