    Lovely words from Brentford boss Thomas Frank: "Newcastle can win it. I said to Eddie, I hope they can win it! We need a change. It woud mean more to the Newcastle fans than the rest.” #NUFC

    Steve Bruce has concluded his press conference and took no questions from written media. Video call cut off after just 4 reporters from TV asked questions. First time in 20 years that's happened. P*** poor from club and Bruce #nufc

    1. Last game at St James’ Park today for the Daily Mirror after 24 years coverage: 50 managers @ NE clubs, 35 countries reported in, brilliant colleagues and friends. The game was fitting. 3-0 win, 3 red cards, a 20 man tunnel fight, beautiful goals! #nufc

    There’s no way Steve Bruce can stay in charge of #nufc. Should be sacked tonight. Players have downed tools. Abysmal performance. Clear the decks. It’s over. (*returns to week off and deletes twitter from phone again)

    They’ve stopped the metros in Milan at San Siro… so thousands of NUFC fans (and reporters) have no way from getting home apart from 2 hour walk to city centre! What a shambles. No way to treat supporters. This line goes on and on

    8 games to go: crisis and unrest at West Ham, Southampton, West Brom. No win in 7 at Palace. 1 win in 11 at Stoke. Newcastle solid and united: 4 wins, 5 draws, 3 defeats (Man City/Liv/Chel) in since Dec 30. Rafa: "Stick together and stay calm." #nufc

    #NUFC = One club city, 52000 sold-out stadium, Rafa Benitez in charge. £100m TV cash. One trophy makes you a legend. £350m+ is a BARGAIN!

    Remarkable 4-1 win by #NUFC Just about had 11 players. Blew away £1bn Chelsea squad. Lewis Miley 17, bossed £106m Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea back 4 error strewn. Gordon/whole team, excellent. 3 kids get debuts off the bench for Toon!
