How lovely. Thank you to everyone at this wonderful journal @JournalDSE. My shiny new article is available here: brill.com/view/journals/…

@talkSPORT Shock move - you must be referring to the shock news the media is starting again. 🙄

Newcastle make immediate Bruno Guimaraes decision amid 'advanced talks' over shock move talksport.com/football/41256…

Came to twitter to see how the mood was after last night. 2 minutes in and we are selling Bruno and his and Sandro's agent are apparently trying to best the other one. Aaaaand close. #nufc

@talkSPORT 327 million, 2 Mars bars and a giant dairy milk. Howay man. Went well for Isak when you all decided to force the move, eh.

Man United are interested in signing Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes! 👀🔴 How much do YOU think he’d cost? 💰

Ah howay man, look at the run we've had in what has been a pretty difficult season. #nufc

Well it was fun whilst it lasted. #nufc

@Junkenstein72 Doesn't matter does it. Can't have Barca being battered by the little toon man.

He wasn't going to get to the ball though #NUFC

Aye. Course. Can't have Barca at risk. Not cool from Tripps but Jesus it's soft. #nufc

I think I need a lie down. #nufc

How is that not a card! #nufc

Where has this Elanga come from 😱😱😱 howay!! #nufc

Omg ELANGA!!!! #nufc

Barca just not getting any cards then eh #nufc

Yessssssss!!!!

Get IN ELANGA!!!! #nufc

No matter what I am so bloody proud of them boys. Now get INTO them!! Howay! #nufc

@NUFC Yes Bruno. I feel the energy around the team just got a million times better!

Wheels up ✈️ Barcelona-bound 🇪🇸

@SuellaBraverman You are utterly vile.

You don’t need to bring your husband and three children to do a degree in Media Studies. Universities need to stop selling immigration instead of education.

@NUFC Get in!

The captain is back to support the lads! 🇧🇷❤️

@Magpie24_7 I'd been slapping my match mate on the back in fear watching every kick of the ball and half not watching. I think the noise probably disguised the half yell/cry when the whistle went. I then rang my non football supporting Mam and cried down the phone to her from the stands 😆

🖤 The Day the World Stood Still 🤍 ​We’ve all dreamed of that moment. We’ve played it out in our heads a thousand times—the final whistle, the roar, the celebration. But when it actually happened a year ago today, it wasn't like the movies..... ​It was total, absolute disbelief! ​Even when that whistle blew and the 70-year domestic curse finally snapped, most of us didn’t even know how to react. It wasn't just a celebration; it was a collective shock to the system. ​That Moment of Pure Numbness: ​The Silent Sobbing: Look around any row of the stands or any corner of the pub that day, and you didn't just see cheering—you saw grown men and women with their heads in their hands, weeping. It was the release of decades of tension that we didn't even know we were carrying. ​The "Is This Real?" Factor: For those of us who grew up through the lean years, the disappointment had become part of our DNA. To see those black-and-white ribbons finally being tied to a domestic trophy... it felt like a glitch in the universe. ​Generations of Tears: Seeing grandads who had waited a lifetime hugging grandkids who will now grow up knowing nothing but success. That day brought an end to the "wait" for every single generation of Newcastle families. ​Our owners are ambitious. They want the Premier League, they want the Champions League, and we’ll likely get there. But nothing—nothing—will ever replicate that specific, heavy, beautiful atmosphere of the first one. You can only break a 70-year drought once. ​We weren't just fans that day; we were witnesses to history. We were numb, we were crying, and for the first time in most of our lives, we were finally champions. ​Relive it with us. What was the first thing you did when you realised the whistle had actually blown? #NUFC #NUFCNews #Newcastle #EPL

This is one of a million memories of winning the cup. It's not even my favourite picture, but here we are, all emotional all over again. #nufc
