  5. Commenting on the 3D light show, Peter Silverstone, Chief Commercial Officer at Newcastle United, said: "Over the past 12 months we have been blown away by Sela's capabilities in delivering spectacular experiences for Newcastle fans. The club, our fans and the city of Newcastle, will never take these experiences for granted. "From delivering the unforgettable Champions League drone show to making the St. James' Park matchday experience more inclusive for members of the Deaf community through launching haptic shirts - Sela has demonstrated that it is a more than simply a 'sponsor' on the front of our shirts. "Within the first year of our partnership, Sela has become entrenched in the local community and continues to create spectacular, purposeful memories that will last the tests of time. Sela has put our supporters at the heart of all their activities and we are so proud to have them as part of our Newcastle United family. Last night we were all one together." Ibrahim Mohtaseb, Senior Vice President of Sela, said: "We wanted to round off our first year of sponsorship of Newcastle United with an unforgettable night for the city, using Sela's capabilities as a creator of live events and experiences. We've worked hard to understand fan culture and the local community, and it was incredible to see so many thousands of people come down to the banks of the Tyne. "We hope they enjoyed this special show that celebrated the city, the fans and their club. We wanted to use iconic city landmarks to really bring that to life. Newcastle is a one-club city with such a rich history and an exciting future ahead; last night we were all one together. "We very much look forward to what the future holds for the club and our partnership. One thing we can be sure of is that as Sela we want to deliver more spectacular experiences for fans to enjoy." Sela, the leading live events and experiences company in the Middle East, is known for delivering spectacular experiences at iconic destinations which are enjoyed by millions every year. This show is demonstration of their commitment to using innovation to provide unforgettable moments to Newcastle United fans. Within the first year of their sponsorship Sela have also launched groundbreaking haptic shirts which enabled fans who are deaf or have hearing loss to feel the atmosphere of the crowd for the first time. On the eve of the club's return to Champions League football, Sela also orchestrated a UK-first football-themed drone show above St. James' Park. The futures bright, the futureā€™s black and white šŸ–¤šŸ¤

  8. Middle Age Fanclub NUFC: Ten Things to Love About Bruno. As we approach the end of another Premier League season rumours seem to be intesifying about Bruno Guimaraes. Across every type of media there seems to be almost a desperate push for the move. Whether it be Manchester City or Arsenal, PSG or Real Madrid, someone somewhere seems to think that Bruno is better off elsewhere. We could go on and on about why, but thatā€™s not the point of this piece. Southern based press, conspiracy theories and all that can wait. People seem to think that Bruno needs to leave but Iā€™m guessing the vast majority of Newcastle fans would disagree. Bruno Guimaraes joined Newcastle in January of 2022 from Lyon at a cost believed to be in the region of Ā£36 million. He wasnā€™t quite an instant hit as Eddie Howe held him back in order to properly acclimatise to the rigours of the Premier League. Instead, he would come on as a sub in a number of games before finally making his full debut away at Southampton. And what a debut! It was in this game that Bruno scored his first Toon goal ā€“ an outrageous back heeled volley from a Dan Burn header across goal, right in front of the travelling fans. A star was born! Itā€™s fair to say that the love affair started that evening and has moved on at pace ever since. Bruno fell for us and we returned his feelings ten fold. In fact, you could say that we love Bruno almost as much as he loves Joelinton. The bastard (more of that later, if you didnā€™t understand). For me, Bruno is easily one of the best central midfielders Iā€™ve seen in over 40 years of supporting Newcastle. I can look back on a lot, but without thinking too deeply would struggle to come up with many to rival Guimaraes. Gazza, Robert Lee, Gary Speed and Yohan Cabaye spring straight to mind, but after that Iā€™m reaching a bit. I mean, when you were raised on a diet of players like Kevin Dillon, John Trewick, Pat Heard and Amdy Faye, midfielders begin to stand out for all the wrong reasons. But comparisons are not what this is about. Rather than ramble and confirm what we all already know (heā€™s dead good at football), I thought Iā€™d give you ten reasons why I (and probably a lot of us) love Bruno. 1. He just strikes me as a cracking lad. Bruno and family just make for a lovely story. His kids are Geordies and his wife seems very happy with the whole set up. Bruno seems to have time for everyone; a ready smile and a willingness to immerse himself in the city and the region. 2. Heā€™s a current Brazilian international. Ever since I watched the Brazil team in the 1982 World Cup and heard about their 1970 side, Iā€™ve been a little bit in love with their footballers. Apart from Fumaca, of course. He was shite. But the fact that Bruno gets in that side is a hell of a yardstick of his quality and I like that being part of Newcastle United. 3. His kids are Geordies and Bruno seems to be very proud of that fact and of just being able to be a part of our culture. For a lad to come halfway around the world and be obviously so in tune with this kind of pride is just wonderful. Imagine Mbappe, Ronaldo or many other so called superstars being the same. You canā€™t, can you? 4. His nickname/pet name for Joelinton just seems to be ā€˜bastardā€™. Much like Mirandinha being taught swearing by Gazza back in the 80s, someone has clearly got to Bruno! And Bruno seems to love it! 5. His celebrations. For a lot of us fans, football is about passion and joy. Bruno echoes that as a player. Whether heā€™s climbing on to advertising hoardings, doing little dances, kissing the badge, telling various people he loves them or just hoisting up a corner flag, Bruno seems to have something for every occasion. And he clearly revels in expressing that joy. So much so, in fact that there are occasion where he scores and gives us about 5 different layers of celebration! Remember the knee slide at Southampton away, remember the stripping off against Leicester at home, remember the flag waving at home to Sheffield Utd! Thereā€™s lots to love. 6. His laugh. If youā€™ve watched him on any of the clubā€™s videos youā€™ll have heard that high pitched laugh. It always raises a smile and is just another sign of Bruno being a bloke who just loves life. 7. Heā€™s ridiculously uncoordinated, yet still a brilliant footballer. Iā€™ve seen Bruno play darts and Iā€™m sure Iā€™ve watched a video of him riding a bike or a scooter or a skateboard. He was shocking at all of it! Itā€™s one of those little quirks that we canā€™t fail to like. Pu a ball at his feet thoughā€¦different story. 8. His dad. Never before have I shown such an interest in Dick. The man behind the number 39 has become a part of the whole story of these last two and a bit years. Whether heā€™s accompanying his son and his family while they get interviewed or joining in with the singing in the pub or on the concourse at an away game, the man has become an unlikely star. None of us would have realised that Brunoā€™s arrival would lead to us loving Dick tooā€¦ 9. His passing. Iā€™m guessing weā€™re all fans of the outside of the boot pass that Bruno has, especially when it comes off. There was a notable one against Luton at home this year that led to Kieran Trippierā€™s goal. Bruno also does a nice line in ā€˜no lookā€™ passes, with a one in to Miggy against Wolves a particular peach. The other one that springs to mind is a pass that I donā€™t have a name for, possibly because I donā€™t play FIFA. However, itā€™s a pass that almost looks like heā€™s scuffed it, almost a scoop. He seems to pretty much miss hit the ball, like heā€™s trying to dig it out of the turf and itā€™s quite a common pass that he makes. Teenagers might tell me itā€™s a knuckle ball, but I donā€™t know. Anyway, itā€™s a passing style that I like in amongst a range that Iā€™m a big admirer of. 10. VAMOOOOOOOS! None of us are surely going to tire of that any time soon. For me, itā€™s essential that we keep Bruno. For all the talk of that Ā£100m clause, heā€™s worth much more to the club and the team. The goals, the showmanship, the clinical passes, even the run of games he went on this season to avoid that crucial yellow card are all illustrative of just how integral Bruno Guimaraes has become at Newcastle United. Talk of him leaving feels ridiculous. Release clause or not, there shouldnā€™t be a valid reason to sell Wor Bruno! šŸ–¤šŸ¤
  9. He is, so cool and layed back. Lethal on the park.

  11. Slot said: ā€œHe certainly doesnā€™t lack self-confidence. His willingness to give everything is enormous. When we see his statistics, it is really impressive. Minteh ran more sprint meters against Ajax in an hour than many players in the two games. He is incredibly fast." Feyenoord had reportedly been open to a second loan deal for the 19-year-old before Slot was linked to the Liverpool job. But he conceded the winger would likely be playing at a higher level next season. He told Rondo in March: "If you are that fast, it is a huge weapon. One action and he is gone, then you will not catch up with him again. "I think that his choices are already improving in the final phase. The bad thing for us is that if his choices become really good, he will probably no longer play for us.ā€
  12. Exciting out of the blue like Isak/Sandro.
