@FBAwayDays Newcastle 2-2 Luton in the old First Division in August 1985. Stood on the West Paddock which is pretty much where that photo is, albeit it was at the front of the old West Stand, which the pictured Milburn Stand replaced.

Can you remember the first ever game you went to? 🤔 Who did you watch and what score was it?

@JimmyRiddle23 @GM1872_ Some NUFC fans may feel an affinity with Rangers, some may with Celtic. But most of us don’t give a shit about either. 🤷‍♂️

@GM1872_ Right beside the stadium

Didn’t realise Newcastle disliked Celtic so much 😂 comments full of it and it’s really good to see

@JimmyRiddle23 @GM1872_ Ah yes, the Tyneside Irish club, rammed with NUFC fans before and after every game. Have hosted countless NUFC supporters events over the years and was the birthplace of the Newcastle United Supporters Trust.

@ErikHvatum @RestoreAussies @JakeLandauTO Absolutely incorrect. The Anglo Saxons, the Northumbrians in particular were well aware of Hadrian’s Wall. The Northumbrian Monk and Writer, Bede wrote about it, the towers and forts along it and the Roman troops stationed there.

Yes, but few people know about that heritage, which is no longer taught to children, even in Britain. It will soon enough pass from all memory that the Union Jack means anything other than Islam. Remember, just three hundred years after the departure of the Romans, the English had no recollection whatsoever that such a thing as the Roman Empire existed and looked at Hadrian’s Wall with gobsmacked wonder, speculating as to who built it and why.

As a Canadian it's funny that Australia and New Zealand still haven't managed to come up with original flags for themselves, how are you still stuck on a British Ensign in the year 2026?

@SimonDanczuk @JHCPAL Tinned Pease Pudding is absolutely revolting 🤮 Shop bought Pease Pudding is fine, as long as it’s refrigerated and in the plastic tubs (usually either Dicksons or Durham Foods) found in most supermarkets though

My 94 year old neighbour, originally from Newcastle, but lived in London 60 years, is moving apartment today, for the first time in 40 years. Got her this lovely moving in present.

@OfficielKaybaye Saw this a few months ago, very similar isn’t it!

@mygirlsmyworldx … I think Eddie is a great man, who’s done so much for us, but I think he’s reached the end of the road. Who do we get? I don’t know, but it needs to be sorted early on. We can’t be waiting until after the World Cup. It’s a mess!

I think Eddie is in way over his head with the job he has to do and the lack of support from above is shocking. Really miss when Amanda and Mehrdad were here. There's no connection or communication there by more. Another mismanaged transfer window scares me 😬 #NUFC

@mygirlsmyworldx … purely re the team, I feel Eddie’s made some bad mistakes re game management. We’ve lost 10 games from winning positions so far this season (7 PL = 21 pts lost!) yes we’ve had injuries and hectic schedules but team selections have often been poor and he just repeats them…

@mygirlsmyworldx … I think Eddie was meant to get more time to rest/recover in the summer from the pneumonia but given what happened that went out the window. It all led to a shitshow in the transfer window and the Isak situation and given no DOF and an ill CEO, there was no one there to lead…

@mygirlsmyworldx There’s been a multitude of issues that has led to this. The communication since Amanda and Mehrdad left has been poor, replacing Eels took far too long and left us in limbo. Similarly re Mitchell leaving (and we don’t really know what extent Eddie was involved in that)…

@RTTimeMachine2 @TyneSnapper Newcastle in the time of our Great Grandparents wouldn’t be ‘Early Newcastle’ at all!

EARLY NEWCASTLE - Through the Eyes of Our Great-Grandparents... • •• What was life really like back then? Before modern Newcastle... before the world we know today. #rttm2 #rivertynetimemachine2 #newcastle #newcastlehistory #tyneside #northeastengland #oldphotos #thenandnow

@RirieSteve @NUFCgallowgate @HLTCO @PeterCrouchPod … I’m also aware even when people don’t have a geographic/family connection to the team they support. There’s plenty who support their team through thick and thin and are no lesser supporters than locals. I may not understand not supporting a local team but they’re proper fans

@Tom_NUFC @NUFCgallowgate @HLTCO @PeterCrouchPod With you there mate, but we should still be happy with anyone not born & raised in toon, or who have moved away, the heart & blood is still black n white HWTL

Love this from Danny Dyer on @PeterCrouchPod. 👏

@RirieSteve @NUFCgallowgate @HLTCO @PeterCrouchPod 100% My brother was born and raised here but now lives in Birmingham. When I was a kid, it was my Mam who kid originally from London (via Merseyside) who took me to matches when I was getting interested, and she fell in love with NUFC herself…

Happy St Cuthbert's Day to all in, and from, the ancient Kingdom of Northumbria.

@GeordieKermit9 @DavyHogg63 I tend to favour the Jacobite theory myself as there is some evidence suggesting people from Newcastle being referred to as ‘Geordies’ and people from Sunderland being referred to as ‘Jamies’

1600s Tynesiders fought for their King (George) and became known as Georgie’s men (Geordies) Wearsiders fought against our king and were forever “cast a sunder” in a new town called Sunderland #SAFC you betrayed your king and country Come on #NUFC let’s smash these bastards

@GeordieKermit9 @DavyHogg63 … However it may be due to the Jacobite rebellions in the 18th century (1715 and 1745) in which Newcastle supported George I (1715) and George II (1745) whilst Sunderland sided with the deposed James II and the his son Bonnie Prince Charlie…

@GeordieKermit9 @DavyHogg63 … the term ‘Geordie’ is disputed but originated later in the 18th/19th centuries. It may be due to the adoption of Northumbrian miners adopting George Stephenson’s safety lamp as opposed to the lamp used elsewhere designed by Humphrey Davy…

@GeordieKermit9 @DavyHogg63 Not quite. When the War of the Three Kingdoms (which included the English Civil War) broke out. Newcastle sided with the Crown (under Charles I) whilst Sunderland sided with the Parliamentarians...

@_footyheritage @footballandwar The National Football Museum in Manchester and the German National Football Museum in Dortmund are both excellent

What football museum or archive is your favourite?
