Newcastle have only gone and bloody won the cup. Where do you want your statue Eddie Howe. This team have achieved immortality. The golden boys #nufc

It’s 4am in Glasgow and Scotland have just won a game of World Cup football... telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

I’ve been saying for a while that Newcastle’s first choice goalkeeper target this summer would be James Trafford. But there is a lot to work through. He spent a long time last summer telling people he was signing for #nufc and it didn’t happen as Man City swooped in. Naturally there has to be caution. It is my understanding he has made positive noises again about wanting to play for Newcastle again recently. But it’s a difficult deal and will be expensive in terms of both fee and wages. I think he would be a great signing. So do Newcastle’s recruitment team but it’s a tricky one to pull off. Let’s see what happens.

I’m heading to Glasgow tomorrow, invited myself to Scotland’s World Cup party. If I listen to this just once on the way up I know I’ll be singing Scott McTominay with a bicycle kick randomly for the rest of it. Ear worm. @jj_bull

There has been no falling out between Eddie Howe and Lewis Hall. If anything the player is extremely grateful for the work done to turn him into an England international during his time at Newcastle. Worth pointing out Hall and Howe also share the same agent. If Hall wanted to leave they would have been told #nufc

👀#nufc

A lot of people mocking Newcastle for the Anderson deal. Easy target but they were forced to sell him. If they hadn’t, they would have breached PSR and faced a ten point penalty. The rules working as they intended to stop them accelerating growth. It, to put it bluntly, f***** them. Nobody wanted to sell him. Forest negotiated a brilliant deal for them taking advantage of #nufc desperation.

That’s because Orient are massive 🤣🤣

I really hope Ben does not retire. He’s made a mistake. He has been held accountable and emotions are bound to be running high. He’s a hot head - I know as he didn’t particularly like me at times when I covered Durham CCC - but he’ll regret retiring early for many years to come. He has too much still to give as an England cricketer to walk away because he’s hurt and embarrassed now. He’s bounced back before and can do so again

As ever it's important to know the facts re the Ben Stokes/Gus Atkinson nightclub 'incident.' The 'Bristol brawl' turned out to have other dimensions. Let's wait to hear about the Saracens element. But Stokes has no wriggle room on discipline, especially after the Ashes fiasco.

I’m not sure why he keeps being linked to #nufc. This was the situation six days ago

Newcastle are going to do things differently this summer. Some will like it, some won’t, but the squad could look and feel very different come September #nufc

🚨REVEALED Newcastle will pay £18.5m for Jaouen with bonuses attached #nufc This is why the transfer is so interesting and what it tells us about the change in strategy at St James' Park Read by clicking on the link👇

Great to see my old friend Kieron Dyer finally get the manager’s job he wanted. Like me, he’s older and wiser… I was always the wise one to be fair. He’d tell you that himself 🤣
