Alan Pardew banned me for writing a completely accurate story about a dressing room clash that was sourced from two players, a member of his staff and a club executive. He then lied about it to the rest of the media pack and said it was nothing to do with him. The club withdrew its threat of legal action and we refused to apologise for publishing an accurate story. He created the toxic atmosphere and almost got relegated in his second full season surviving on the final day. A very thin skinned individual who came up with the immortal line “this win is for Mike (Ashley)” #nufc
🗣️ "Joey Barton told me nobody wanted me there, Newcastle fans didn’t appreciate me, and the local media didn’t help - it led to a toxic atmosphere" 🤷‍♂️ Alan Pardew still feels hard done by over Newcastle spell 🔗 fourfourtwo.com/person/joey-…

Exhibit A. Senior Reform politicians have lost the plot amidst poll slide chaos. Tricky Dickie in particular is having a shocker 😂😂😂

Whoever the journalist is here. Whatever their background or how they came to be in that room i applaud you. A masterclass in asking questions while being mocked. The rest of the room stays silent because they are watching someone impaling themselves under the lightest of scrutiny

Watching game at Wembley and it’s clear playing England in Sept when players are fresh and temperature is mild is much harder than playing them at the end of a long and gruelling PL season in heat of a foreign summer. Spain are brilliant but England really impressive too #england

Republic of Ireland will face Israel on Sunday after the players voted in favour of the fixture going ahead. On Saturday morning, Ireland’s players were considering boycotting the match after Gavin Bazunu, the goalkeeper, said he did not want to play. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Republic of Ireland’s players are considering boycotting Sunday’s match against Israel after Gavin Bazunu, the goalkeeper, said he did not want to play. Meetings are taking place at the team’s hotel in Hungary this morning as the players discuss whether they will collectively refuse to play the Nations League game as an act of protest against Israel’s actions in Gaza. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Some story developing here ahead of Ireland’s Nations League game against Israel and great work from Dan covering it. More to follow I’m sure
Developments with Ireland: My understanding is that Gavin Bazunu has indicated that he doesn't want to play in the game - a view expressed in meeting last night. And there are other players now deliberating over coming with him. Training delayed.

Everton got a six point penalty for one breach of PSR. Reduced from ten on appeal. That is the starting point for any punishment dished out to Manchester City. One breach compared to 114. Man City will appeal, it will drag on for some time yet but eventually they will be punished. It needs to be in keeping with what has come before it

"They didn't like somebody doing to them what they like to do to other teams" 😠 The champions were pecked by the Seagulls on Saturday...🔵 But was that just a blip for Arsenal or something more? #BBCFootball #AFC #EPL

Michael Carrick will pay price for a poor squad. Hull City could be the new Sunderland, Newcastle United will be a lot of fun. It’s time for Brighton to take the next step. Alexander Isak is back and why it’s a two horse title race telegraph.co.uk/football/202…
