@RichySouthern He will be our starting right back next season, save us some money in that position
English
Took me a while to see the light with Miley tbh. I thought his lack of pace & conservative tendencies would prevent him from being a top player. But he found his feet this season & the fact he was able to play as a right back on a few hours notice shows he’s got the mentality to match his ability

🔎 T5 u23 midfield seasons since 2018 w/: - 900+ minutes - 2+ aerial duels won p90 - 55%+ aerial duel % - 80%+ fwd pass % 🇪🇸 Rodri '18/19 🇫🇷 Aurelien Tchouameni '22/23 🇪🇸 Martin Zubimendi '20/21 🇫🇷 Eduardo Camavinga '21/22 🏴 Lewis Miley '25/26 I am so serious about him being one of the best midfielders of the coming generation on the basis of ability x endangered archetype. Notice how all the other examples are more physical midfielders when they played in a less physical league, and Miley is doing it in the PL at 19. So so so serious.

@jamiereuben any chance of getting hold of Hopkinson and telling him to keep his mouth shut? Everytime someone puts a microphone infront of him it’s just waffle. He is a disaster waiting to happen #nufc

@CraigHope_DM @SkySports_Keith @LukeEdwardsTele im hoping this is complete waffle from Richard Keys?
English
@Scott_Pock Im not disagreeing with you, but the club/Dof makes the signings, not Howe, im sure he would have loved reinforcements. I think the prem in general has been rubbish this season not just us
English
@SmithCraigo If you know your defence are in decline, Pope, Tripps, Schar, Burn all 33 years plus, Botman, Tino and even Hall all injury prone. Only Thiaw been fit and available all season, why not do something about it with defensive signings? Howe’s stubborn with tactics/subs and seems like
English
@Scott_Pock Same defence and keeper had a great record in previous seasons, theyve just been poor this year, and the club signed nobody in Jan? I agree Howe neede to mix things up, have a different system, failures of previous windows also havent helped
English
@SmithCraigo We’ve conceded the most goals in Europes top 5 leagues in 2026, at what point is it the managers fault for the way he’s setting up a team? I agree a lot of the stuff off the pitch Howe might not be responsible for but the same shit tactics and substitutions in every game is.
English
@Scott_Pock Im talking about previously we have. I agree, murphy, barnes should have been moved on, gordy should be wide, elanga is awful (thats on howe) the two strikers are crap though. Two average keepers, rb injured a lot, been a shite season, but its not mainly on Howe
English
@SmithCraigo Over achieving by winning 4 games away from home all season? Can’t be spending over £250m on that front 6 and play Gordon as a 9 and still have to use Murphy every game. Fucking awful.
English
@Scott_Pock Aye but hes shite upfront so where would you play him? We have been over achieving, our front 6 are Wolte, Wissa, Elanga, Barnes, Murphy and Gordon, thats absolutely awful. Howe didnt buy Wolte either, that was a panic club buy, idiots
English
@SmithCraigo Says who? 4 wins in 15 away games. 8 home wins from 16 games! Absolutely shite and still some how only 6 points off Chelsea, we’re lucky most teams ahead of us have had shite seasons too!
Agree losing Isak was a mess but buying a £70m striker to then play him in midfield stinks.
English
@Scott_Pock What would DZ do? Nowt with brighton, nowt woth Marseille? We lost the best striker in the league in the last week of the window when the club said he wasnt for sale and bought two clowns to replace him, no other manager is getting us better than 7/8th this season
English
@SmithCraigo I’m not saying he’s to blame for everything, but absolutely everything on the pitch this season has been terrible which is down to the management, Odd good performance but this seasons been unacceptable. What point do managers want to come to us? De zerbi & terzic surely would.
English
@Scott_Pock Hes defo to blame for some things but not everything, the club got the summer so wrong, we have went windows without buying anyone, the squad is pap (i know we have made bad signings) but they arent all on him. None of those first 5 names would come to us
English
@SmithCraigo Alonso, Fabregas, Xavi, De Zerbi, Terzic, Marco Rose, Allardyce, Pardew, Dyche, Kinnear, Frank De Boer..Any cunt!
Pathetic recruitment, predictable tactics, shite in game management, shite recycled press conference answers, love him for what he’s done for us but time for change

Cowards. Sideways and backwards. Dan Burn screaming at his teammates to slow it down to walking pace. Safe and pathetic. Cowardly tactics in both derbies. Cowardly performances. Underdogs FC. Cowards.
English
It’ll hopefully be waffle anyway, but we have been here before with ‘gentlemans agreements’ and tbh, if its not in a contract, they can rack off. #nufc

🚨 A gentleman’s agreement could allow Bruno Guimarães to leave Newcastle. 👀 The midfielder is understood to have a verbal understanding to explore moves to Champions League clubs if Newcastle fail to qualify. 🏆 However, the agreement may not be legally enforceable. ⚖️ (Source: @JacobsBen)

TNT Sport just interrupted Sporting CP Vs Bodo/Glimt to say Netanyahu has died.
They announced it like it was a goal in another game.

If the FA apply a points deduction proportionate to Luton's 10-point deduction to Chelsea (based on Luton's payments to agents being £160,00 and Chelsea's being £47.5m), then Chelsea will be deducted 2,970 points.
Henry Winter@henrywinter
Good result for Chelsea: club fined only £10m and given a suspended transfer ban after Premier League found 36 separate undisclosed payments totalling £47.5m made “to 12 persons or entities on behalf of the club”. Lenient sanctions. No sporting sanctions. Yet these are serious offences, as the sanction agreement between the PL and Chelsea makes clear, stating “they were not only obvious and deliberate breaches of the rules but also because they involved deception and concealment in relation to financial matters”. Yet no points deductions. Just a manageable (if record) fine and a “suspended one-year first-team player transfer ban (suspended for two years)”. Surely they gained a sporting advantage by recruiting such players? So surely a sporting sanction should be in order? And where's the consistency? In 2008, Luton Town received a 10-point deduction for irregularities in dealing with agents (nb from FA). There still could be some further sanctions by the FA following its "ongoing investigation". PL points to mitigating factors: current owners Clearlake/Todd Boehly in May 2022 voluntarily self-reported potential historical breaches from the Roman Abramovich era. Club co-operated extensively and helped provide (with others) 10,000 documents for PL investigation. PL established “that between 2011 and 2018, undisclosed payments by third parties associated with the club were made to players, unregistered agents and other third parties”. Payments related to the purchases of players including Eden Hazard, Willian, Samuel Eto’o, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle and Nemanja Matic - there is no suggestion any were aware of the illicit payments. The detailed work of the investigators – and level of Clearlake’s co-operation – is impressive. The sanctions less so. It is a legitimate debate: should a club be punished for offences under a previous owner? Yes, most fans of other clubs would scream. It's a deterrent. And the value of those players' contribution and subsequent sales arguably still benefits the club. PL also investigated “potential breaches of the Premier League’s Youth Development Rules, committed by a former senior employee, relating to the club’s registration of Academy players between 2019 and 2022”. Again, self-reported by the club, this time in 2025. Chelsea punished with £750,000 fine and immediate nine-month ban from registering academy players from PL and EFL clubs. #CFC

It was a tale of two cities and two very different football grounds for an @FCBarcelona fan who turned up at the wrong St James Park last night 🏟️
The Spanish supporter, who made the journey to Devon from London, turned up at the turnstiles of Exeter City’s Adam Stansfield stand last night, expecting to see his team take on @NUFC. It was only when he showed his ticket to staff that he realised his mistake.
But he got to see a got to see a game of football – Exeter City staff sorted him out a ticket for the game against Lincoln under the lights of the real St James Park!
Adam Spencer, Supporter Experience Officer at Exeter City, said: “One of our volunteers came to the office to let us know that this guy had turned up expecting to see FC Barcelona. His English wasn’t great, but from what we could gather, he’d come from London. My guess is he’d put St James Park in his phone and then just followed the directions from there.
“He was pretty gutted and a bit embarrassed. So, we sorted him out a ticket and he got to watch a game at the real St James Park. He’d be welcome back any time.”
