Sometimes you think football has peaked, then 2107 turn up in England’s ninth tier for Heaton Stannington v West Auckland. Difficult surface but both sides tried to play and Stan go up. Great local atmosphere.

Howe wants to keep Callum Wilson & there's a strong footballing argument to do so, but strong business argument to sell. Will #NUFC stick or twist?

⚫ This #NUFC team is now the most-prolific of 38-game PL era ⚽
⚪ But are the Accidental Entertainers really better at attacking than the actual Entertainers? ⁉

W/George Caulkin Alan Shearer
(who has his own theory about all the goals):

'I know it’s been done before but it’ll never be done like we’ve done it again.'

In two seasons, Kieran McKenna has taken Ipswich Town from League One to the Premier League in one of the most unlikely rises in years.

This is how they did it.

Analysis of Burnley 1-4 #NUFC w/ George Caulkin:
#BURNEW theathletic.com/5469419/2024/0…

Overcast, grey but dry at the moment at Turf Moor, where we could see some rain later today. It peed it down across the Pennines.

#NUFC take on Burnley later this afternoon, looking to strengthen their bid for European qualification.

The great Michael Head Official at Gosforth Civic Theatre last night.
If I see a more joyous, life-affirming, melodious gig anywhere this year I’ll count myself very lucky. What a treat.

Eddie Howe believes the FA independent commission reached the 'right decision' with Sandro Tonali's suspended ban, which means he is due to return on August 29.

Such a beautiful gig ⁦kathryn williams⁩ & ⁦Withered Hand⁩ at ⁦Gosforth Civic Theatre⁩ last night. They’ve made a great album together and are on tour. Catch ‘em if you can!

A lot of competing emotions will have been simmering when Jurgen Klopp & Mo Salah interacted last weekend.

I've been in Salah's boots. I can understand his mentality after being left out.

But this should not be about opposing camps — it's the end of an era at #LFC
