@14Nadz Kissed by @HamillHimself - could be worse.

@NE5westend This is great... my Grandad used to race pigeons and grey hounds, took me right back.

1969: Pigeon racing in the North East

@stan_chow Love how he handles the interviews, dead straight and razor sharp...

Didn’t take long for the knives to come after Carrick’s 1st defeat… look at the league we’re 3rd… ffs

@NE5westend Had that strip when I was around 7/8 yrs old... with the best NUFC badge (for me).

On this day on 1983: a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage as Newcastle United took on Supermac’s Fulham. Beardsley and Keegan with the NUFC goals.

@tellingstories @howiehowe Me too...

@howiehowe I'm just a very, very passive observer now...

@NE5westend Best kit too.

Fantastic player Watto

@NE5westend My favourite… class memories.

As most on here probably know Andy Cole is my favorite ever NUFC player and Beardsley is my Best ever NUFC player. Here’s Cole on being sold for those that haven’t seen “I never wanted to leave Newcastle”

@mikedotsullivan If he’s anything, he’s an Arsenal player… Prefer him out the prem though so it’s not a constant frustration when he’s smashing goals past us… so Real or PSG can have him.

@GaryBovill Sekonda

@NE5westend That was a canny day out…

Only us could win our 1st 🏆 in 70 years and qualify for CL but yet have the worst window going and then head into that 60 plus game season with only 17 squad players inc 5 goalies.Take me back to 1992 and Sheedy away v Peterborough. Fuck modern football!

@TaylorandPayne Despite the state of them, the name and their heritage is still a massive draw… Give it a few more years of the same and that all may change like.

Seems like a bit of a mad choice to go somewhere without UCL football, but there you go 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you Man U… saved the toon, a strange feeling.

@danburn6 BDB!

A big thanks to @NU_Foundation for the brilliant organisation at the zip wire fundraiser at St James Park… it was class - and all for a fantastic local cause. @NUFC @TaylorandPayne @PodontheTyne

Thanks to everyone who has donated - myself and ‘Coach’ Craig Thompson did the St James Park zip line yesterday afternoon which was class, and over way too soon. Not sure why everyone complains about level 7, the views up there are incredible. newcastleunitedfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/team-thomps… Cheers.

@jwhitey98 The lad’s a coward.

Still not 100% certain it’s malicious, but definitely the case that it’s the look which really gets Jackson into trouble there.

@stan_chow Thoughts and prayers

@TaylorandPayne Visit the beach, we don’t know how lucky we are to be near the coast.

I think this has probably been the worst week of my life. Send pictures of dogs and encouragement as being completely honest with you, I'm really struggling at the minute.

@StevenBonner__ Does he think?

Does he think that other countries won’t also introduce or raise existing tariffs?

A debt of gratitude for Grant & Graeme We are deeply saddened to acknowledge & honour the passing of Grant Windridge & Graeme Cooper, two hugely influential colleagues who became great friends. We’ve written down a few words about these fine men here... tellingstories.co.uk/thoughts/

@GraemePeacock1 I used to live in Dock House right next to where you took that shot… loved my time there, proper spoilt.

It has an aire of peaceful symmetry on windless days like this
