Those helping should definitely be invited to a match as guests of the club in future <applause>

Regular CPR training in schools and workplaces in some countries is commonplace, shame it isn't here. We could all need it some day, definitely makes you think should refresh my first aid training (when I say refresh, I haven't done anything in 20+ years...).

Think yesterday showed how we all focus too much on the negative minority within the fan base at times. Yes we have the idiots with the KSA flags and middle Eastern dress, and yes they should be pointed out and talked about, but also we have to remember that we also have Doctors, Nurses and all manner of other good people turning up who help make the world a better place on a daily basis.

Speaking of journos on Twitter, I've just been approached by a Mail on Sunday one asking if he can DM me. f***ing hell, I was conflicted enough going on Sunday, never mind engaging with the f***ing Mail...

I made it into the horrible paper...
Thought you summed it up really well Colly. Well done! <applause>

Don't let all this media fame go to your head though. Remember we knew you before you were famous. ;)

I hadn't even seen that second survey, it was a second hand reference. Might be bollocks.
well its still less likely to be bollocks than 99% of the stuff in the daily mail

Luke Edwards needs to get himself in line.

He can’t be oblivious to the amount of hatred and bile he’s stirred up in the last 18months. I’m sure this isn’t the first of its kind, I’m sure he’s had far worse in his DM.

Whilst I’m not condoning any moron sending out pathetic abuse of this kind, something just doesn’t sit right from Luke Edwards on this.

So I had a big framed display of all of my match tickets and a panoramic photo of SJP from the year I lived there. It fell off the wall and smashed last night. Apparently the ghosts in my old house are trying to send me a message too.

[Kidding about the ghosts part]

I reference that because reflecting back on the Carling Cup match against Arsenal, and friendlies against Gateshead and Leeds - it was a totally different vibe from the other 13 matches I went to that year - including even the 5-1 derby win.
Was that the one where Alan Smith hit the bar from about 30 yards out? <awe>
Must have been? He was in the side that night. [Scrolling through the BBC commentary, looks like he did have a shot from 25 yards, and also picked up a host of fouls and a booking - sounds like Smith] I mostly just remember Walcott and Bendtner having their way with us.

The way I see it, we have been hated for a while, clubs like Everton and Villa seemingly invented a rivalry with us. We have been called everything under the sun by pundits and the media. I became immune to most criticism a long while ago, this new wave is not unexpected and nothing more than what I've become accustomed to. As a club we were damned either way.

There is no surprise here whatsoever !!

This is a taste of the brave new world Newcastle Utd have entered…..

We are going be to have a target on our back

We are going to be the team everyone will try harder to beat

We are going to become the club that ‘ruined the league’

We are now the point reference for everything that’s wrong with the Premier league

We will be the subject of 1000% more bs than was ever written previously

We are the club that everyone will want to have an opinion about and will think they are an authority on

We are an absolute gravy train for journos/ hacks/
news-hounds and will have our every action scrutinised analysed and opined on endlessly

We’ve always had a narrative and always been a club that people wanted to comment on when we did nowt, now it’s going to be open season, season after season

Better strap in 🤣
I'm ok with that and so is my harem.
