    I pay over £100 a month to Sky and another chunk to BT. That’s already far too much and it’s absolutely shafting fans, in this of all moments, to ask for more on top as the only legal way to watch their team play. How much money do they want? Football is going to break.

    At this point, we’re just waiting for an announcement. The takeover is done, the money is there and the Premier League have signed it off. All that remains is to make it official. Could be any time now. #NUFC

    What a player Kieran Trippier is. The goal, yes, but set the tone for everything tonight, lifting his own players after the concession, snapping into tackles, taking no shit. Brilliant. #NUFC

    There may not be anything official tonight (although you never know with this deal …), but it’s safe to say we’re now entering the final hours of Mike Ashley’s ownership of #NUFC. It's been a frantic day. Lots to say on it, but at this stage I want to wait until it’s official.

    14 years of shit at #NUFC - yes, these things are relative - but Keegan’s treatment, Shearer’s treatment, Gutierrez’s treatment, 2 relegations, Sports Direct arena, Joe Kinnear as manager & DOF, Wonga, some of the worst football ever, “ticking over”, no communication, 10k … 1/2

    The Strawberry Corner and @worflags pay tribute to departing co-owners Amanda Staveley and @ghodoussi, who first came to St James’ in 2017 & saw something in the club that many #NUFC fans had given up on.

    What a sensational job Eddie Howe has done and is doing at Newcastle. The team, the club, the feeling are all unrecognisable from a few weeks and months ago. The new routine: unbeaten. #NUFC

    Heroic backs-to-the-wall stuff by 11-man Newcastle to cling on against Fulham.

    On behalf of the written media, I’d like to apologise to Lee Charnley, Steve Bruce and his players for that first-half performance. #NUFC

    You kind of have to pinch yourself every match: Kieran Trippier plays for Newcastle United. #NUFC
