This is a tough read — huge respect to Jimmy Aggrey.

Jimmy was one of the ex-Chelsea kids who sued #CFC in the High Court over racism/bullying from their own coaches.

Today, he waives his anonymity to tell the full, grim story. Pls read (no paywall) ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/54874…

Jimmy Aggrey endured years of racism and bullying by #CFC coaches Gwyn Williams and Graham Rix.

In 2022 he was one of four youth players to be compensated by the club.

Today, he waives his anonymity to tell his story.

👿 ' #MUFC are like #NUFC ’s end-of-level boss. Somehow, they’re always our final hurdle to overcome.'

🤯 George Caulkin watched #FACup final w/ NUFCThreatLevel Charlotte Robson - & the crushing inevitability of #NUFC & #MUFC (& a lack of Europe) dawned:
nytimes.com/athletic/55199…

Today, we recoil from the word “United.”

Why always them?

Game over, season over, Europe over. After all that.

George Caulkin watches Manchester United win the FA Cup with Newcastle fans — and in doing so keep #NUFC out of Europe.

“They’re like our end of level boss.”

Watching the FA Cup with #NUFC fans: supporting City, nerves, irritation, (briefly) hope but mainly crushing inevitability.

With huge thanks to NUFCThreatLevel & Charlotte Robson

We’ll be clocking up some miles!

Brilliant stuff from Sean Longstaff, who is currently taking the new ball for Tynemouth. Love the fact he still plays club 🏏

'Sir Bobby said to us, ‘Lads, you don’t need to have cocktails and beers after every session.''

Steven Caldwell, Warren Barton and others spill the beans on the last time Newcastle went on a post-season tour.

🗣️ Daniel Campos, representante de Miguel Almirón:

“Otros clubes de la Premier han preguntado por él, pero el Newcastle no lo quiere vender. El mercado árabe está rondando por ahí. Puede haber novedades, pero él está cómodo”.
