Feel for Anthony Gordon here. Deserves a send off as he’s seemingly all but gone, not his biggest fan but I’d be an idiot to not appreciate what he’s done for the club. At the very least deserved a runout over Jacob Murphy, must be more going on behind the scenes.
My timeline is full of Newcastle fans who want us to beat them on Sunday to help us stay up and to hike the pressure on Spurs
It’s just a beautiful thing 🙌
🚨 Ian Wright tips a potential Arsenal double as the greatest achievement in British football history:
🗣️ “If Arsenal go on and win both the Champions League and the Premier League this season, that’s the greatest achievement British football has ever seen. Full stop.
And I know people will start shouting about City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea… all these ‘eras’ everyone goes on about. But let’s be honest, those teams weren’t coming off a drought like this. Arsenal have spent years being laughed at, written off, called nearly-men, bottlers… you name it. And now you’re telling me they could rise from that and conquer Europe AND England in the same season? That’s different gravy.
Man City? Unbelievable team, yeah but they’ve had endless money, squad depth, dominance year after year. Manchester United? They built dynasties over time. Liverpool and Chelsea had their peaks with experienced, battle-hardened squads. Arsenal? This is a young team, written off time and time again, suddenly going toe-to-toe with Europe’s elite and potentially winning it all.
And don’t even get me started on Spurs, what ‘era’ are we even talking about there?
This would hit harder because of the context. Years without a league title. Years without European glory. Fans being mocked every single season. To go from that to doing the double at this level? That’s not just success, that’s redemption on the biggest stage imaginable.
People won’t want to admit it because it’s Arsenal. It’ll hurt them. But deep down, they’ll know, it doesn’t get bigger than that.”
He just doesn’t give a shit about today.
Whilst he’s playing 5D chess to hopefully bring us silverware, that performance today was not on. Especially for those who paid to watch it.
Not like you Sir, not like you at all.
👋 Anthony Gordon has expressed to those close to him that he has a desire to join Bayern Munich during the upcoming summer window, according to reports from journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
Although the England international has not formally requested a transfer, there is a prevailing sentiment within Newcastle that he intends to pursue a move. Bayern Munich is expected to initiate discussions with Gordon’s representatives in the near future, aiming to finalise an agreement prior to the commencement of the World Cup in June.
Gordon views a transfer to the Bundesliga champions as a significant step for his professional development, having observed the success of Michael Olise following his move from Palace. The prospect of joining Bayern, who secured their ninth league title in ten years this past weekend, is highly attractive to the 25-year-old, as is the opportunity to secure regular playing time in the Champions League.
Regardless of how the season concludes, a departure for Gordon appears probable as Newcastle look to generate substantial funds, much like the high-profile sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool last summer. He is currently of course 'injured' 🤔

🤕 Eddie on TIno, who has had yet another injury scare:
"For Tino we are not sure, it is a huge blow for him and for us. I actually thought he, in part with Kieran's introduction at the start of the second half, and losing him was a big blow."
He'll be lucky to be back this season.

🖤🤍Concerned about Tonali's future. Not fit enough to be in our squad Sunday against the inbred's but MOTM for Italy 4 days later 🤔. Looks like he could run a marathon too. #hwtl#nufc 🖤🤍
All completed, time for a well earned pint! 🍻
Every single seat in the house has something on it, so we’d massively appreciate you all being in your seats 15 mins before KO and getting involved (especially in the Milburn).
Into this lot, Newcastle. HOWAY THE LADS 🏴🏳️🏴🏳️
Quick reminder that 24-year-old Igor Thiago is the FIRST Brazilian player in Premier League history to score more than 15 goals in a single season.
This kid is something special 🇧🇷
@SkySportsNews Incorrect. They have a good winter break and their respective leagues cancel games prior to UCL fixtures to keep them fresh and represent their countries. The EPL just think of the 💰 and nowt else.
''The Premier League is stronger, but the top teams [European sides] when it comes to knockouts, are just better''
Analysis as Newcastle, Chelsea, Spurs and Manchester City exit the Champions League having conceded 28 goals between them across two legs ❌
Eddie Howe: "Psychologically, that was a tough one (third goal). Right on half-time, again the last kick, very similar to what happened at the end of the game in the first leg. We should have been going in at half-time with a great feeling. Anything was possible.
"And then they score quite quickly after half time. Psychologically we didn't recover from that moment. The second half was tough. It was a painful experience"
Where's my Instagram story now Wesley Fofana? My social media king, why don't you take this clip and write how incredible your recovery jog was on this defensive play. You run your mouth unnecessarily all the time, where's that energy gone now?!
