Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍 After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires. Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.

"And a dreadful thing from the cliff did spring. Its wild bark thrill'd around: And a fiendish glow flash'd forth I trow, From the eyes of the Specral Hound" the Barguest, an omen of death; from: "Folklore of the Lake District" by Stephen G. Rae art: P.E. Travers

@LiamJKennedy23 There needs to be an inquest at the end of this window directly from the top. The current setup is too slow to react, don’t do enough due diligence and don’t offer the right money. Flawed all the way. I also need to think our board need to answer a few things. Far too weak atm.

Emotive subject. Emotive statement. Interested to know what people think about NUFC's summer? Howe let down? Part of the problem? Out of his control? Club encountered a serious of unfortunate circumstances? All, some or none of those. 🗣️ What do you think...

@NUFCThreatLevel This is definitely where we want to be selling him. I’d even go as far as one price for the Saudi’s and another for Liverpool.

This isn’t a ‘favouring Liverpool’ point, it’s more on what can be done. I don’t know of any other bidder. If Chelsea can sell to others in their network of clubs, if clubs can offload to Saudi, so can #NUFC.

Newcastle have long stood at the £150m mark. If they decide to accept an offer from Al-Hilal.. Is that going to be deemed unfair..? Remember *some* argue we could and should have got a bigger fee for ASM. Is it only going to be deemed fair value if #NUFC sell him to Liverpool?

@NE5westend Agreed - if he’s going though, we should not be selling to Liverpool due to their antics this window. Get him abroad.

Nobody is bigger than the club….let’s move the fuck on now, shame it’s wasted so much time…now get your head out of the sand NUFC and fkn sell him for as much as possible and get fkn signing players……move!!!!

Ozzy Osbourne, the singular metal legend whose Black Sabbath virtually invented heavy metal and in later years became a reality TV pioneer, has died at the age of 76. More on his life and legacy 🖤 rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

Sean Longstaff. Local Boy 🖤 🤍

Callum Wilson has confirmed he will depart Newcastle United after five seasons at the club.    From scoring on his debut against West Ham in 2020 to wearing the iconic number 9 shirt, Callum has played a huge part in our success in recent years and we thank him for all his contributions.    Good luck for the future, CW9! 🫡🖤🤍

Love this new sign on the Clyde Walkway, but it definitely falls into the Keep Glasgow Weird category. It's one of a number of signs inspired by Science Fiction movies around the city's Science Centre. #glasgow #keepglasgowweird #streetart #glasgowstreetart #signs #godzilla

@NUFCThreatLevel Barely played again after that as well.

I'll spare you all the write up.

I'm doing my Folklore Studies dissertation on storytelling in English pubs! Ever heard a story in a pub that defied belief? Do you know of a pub regular who's regarded as a legend? Please take my survey if so and help me on my quest: forms.office.com/e/8tX4g94L6u

@NUFCThreatLevel Remember me da screaming: “Pass, pass ya greedy…”
