Match report from #NUFC v Forest where I let slip how utterly furious I am with Matz Sels for becoming a top PL keeper after turning in such shit shows in goal for us he threatened to single handedly strand us in the Championship until Karl Darlow came to the rescue

I’ll get the hang of it Chris don’t worry. The main attraction for me was the opportunity to ask questions ranging from the bemusing to the downright irritating

Whoa slow down there Einstein. So I can effectively remove the Bog Standard version from my library and all will be covered is what you’re saying?

I have just subscribed and am relatively discombobulated at the fact that the bonus is a separate pod altogether in the library, requiring secretarial and organisational skills of someone who works at NASA.

The Mackems always have legitimacy on their side - it’s their team from their family area and it’s mainly a thankless task supporting them. Plastic Man U fans sniping at people cos they’ve falsely aligned themselves with “winners” thinking it runs off on them is a disease.

Bradford is no place for happy endings

Jamie Smith @bigjimwinsalot.bsky.social · 15d

I went to Bradford away a couple of weeks before Christmas 1999. I’d just split from a lass and was feeling a bit down. I had to get a bus through Bradford and back to see a useless version of #NUFC lose 2-0. Think Dean Saunders scored. Redemption tonight please Eddie x

Does he just stay warm with a red wine buzz? He’s smaller than me but looks fatter so it would likely balance out and fit, where can I collect?

Jamie Smith @bigjimwinsalot.bsky.social · 15d

I’m on a train back from Edinburgh heading straight to the match with only a hoody as a top layer. Just in case you know of anyone with a spare coat…

Barcelona, St James Park, #NUFC in the Champions League. At the match with my boy and other great things adding up to me disregarding my principles at the club shop www.themag.co.uk/2025/09/hang...

Hang on, what do I say if he wants one at the next game?

A memorable first for Big Nick and #NUFC

If you were in Newcastle for the league cup game with Bradford City there wouldn’t be general sale tickets, never mind Champions League. Every game at SJP is an oversubscribed bun fight

Ooo 1-0 to Kosovo makes this likely. The schadenfreude of seeing him stretchered off with a severed hamstring would bring pleasure in not proud of

Woke up in Dover this morning with my entire family in tow and am just about to hit the boozer in Leeds ahead of #NUFC match. Can’t give myself enough credit for this effort 👏🏻

The ideal for me would be to get back there in the knockouts when they’re back at the Nou camp

Just honesty in my house 😉

Bit teary here. My little lad has always had an obsession with Barcelona, asks when #NUFC will play them. Had to tell him it’s never happening for years, so his face when they came out the draw tonight was the Best. His loyalties will of course only go one way on the night.

Cheers Chris this will be my go to as I stop up too late and get too drunk to take my kids on any rides at Disneyland in the morning

Jamie Smith @bigjimwinsalot.bsky.social · Aug 27

If anyone here can tell me a way to watch the league cup draw in France I’ll be ya best mate

Walked into the bar at Disneyland worried about it being full of plastic Reds and this lad is stood at the bar. Geordies everywhere #NUFC

They’re not on Blue Sky, maybe worth a #GeordieBangers hashtag. Or indeed one for #Meat:Stack just in case they’re fans of my column in @themag.co.uk and it’s extremely wide circulation across the north east.

Jamie Smith @bigjimwinsalot.bsky.social · Aug 18

I thought Liverpool’s twerking for Isak was embarrassing until Chris started his transparent appeals to Geordie Bangers.
