At no point has Jacob Murphy forced anyone to start him/keep him at the club. Hes lived his dream, and contributed a lot, including the assist for the winner in the cup final. Don’t rate him? Sound But the abuse is absolutely mental and I’m not surprised he reacted like that

“It seems the woman is always believed” You should try doing the tiniest bit of research into rape conviction statistics James and you’ll soon discover how wrong you are.
So Russell Brand found guilty on a number of charges. I never liked them and no idea why he was so popular. But I still find it hard to believe that you can be convicted based on hearsay 20 years ago. It seems the woman is always believed and never to blame.#RussellBrandtrial

Danny Tommo at Daily Mail in a nut shell: Danny Tommo: "You've got 15 minutes to come talk to me and if not then you got 48 hours..." Them: "Nope" *Goes home*

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Some people wesr glasses, some people are just speccy. Ben is speccy.
🔴 "Hall would have been somewhat open to that [Man United] move!" 💰 "I don't think we can say categorically that Hall is unavailable in summer 2027..." @JacobsBen reveals why Lewis Hall has decided to sign a new deal at #NUFC despite interest from #MUFC! 📝

Ya devastated arent ye eh?
Lewis Hall set to sign a new Newcastle United contract after reaching an agreement with the club. Hall understood to be impressed by new manager Matthias Jaissle, and extension talks have accelerated over the past few weeks. Extending Hall a priority for sporting director Ross Wilson.⚫️ 🤝 @alex_crook

A great lad and clearly a good footballer, but never suited our style of play here under Howe and even less so under Jaissle. Will def follow his career going forward. Good bye and good luck
🚨⚪️⚫️ Juventus have agreed on personal terms with Nick Woltemade who wants the move. Negotiations are taking place with Newcastle over loan fee — it will be a loan move, as revealed yesterday.

Same but different
Newcastle are walking into a completely different #Spurs. Savinho has arrived. Marmoush has arrived. Fernandes pulling the strings. Tonali is hunting. Kudus is back. And now we get to see what De Zerbi-ball looks like when the stakes are real. Pray for Newcastle. #THFC #COYS
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Big fan of how NUFC could field a decent, fairly balanced side using squad no’s 1-11 Any other clubs field a side as good as that? (And as balanced)

Imagine you tweet this the day before your club bids for Jack Grealish
If Nico González is that good, Manchester City wouldn't let him go simple as that. Just saying

Can’t believe our owners are helping one of the Cartel 6 out of their PSR issues again.
