Can someone explain the history of this trans / homophobic Twitter spat that’s seen Elon get involved? Edit: just seen other thread.

It was unequivocally him. In a rather smart Lamborghini Urus if you want the details. So all depends when the squad departed - 2.30PM I would have thought was a little early - but others and ardent flight watchers will know better. Find out soon enough.

If that is indeed it, he definitely wasn’t on it. But to a previous question, he was parked up. Difficult to say if he still had all of his limbs.

This was c. 3PM to put a time stamp on ‘just’.

What time would we expect the team to fly down for this? Today or tomorrow?Just seen Callum Wilson in Jesmond.

Assuming you were in block 60/61, any idea what the big fight was caused by? That saw a guy, having been frustrated by stewards in his attempts to confront someone, climb over the barrier to start something really quite nasty? And on ticketing, know of two individuals that have been offered a token gesture of a refund based on not actually being able to get into the terrace. Must have been 50 or so standing awkwardly at the front.

Interesting to see if Hall or Tino can cement a place in that time. Huge opportunity.

Big boost. Howe isn’t half sneaky with the media. Half expecting Isak to be available for Dortmund.

Howe stating that he’s unable to train at the moment and “awaiting clarity” on his situation.

What time was that? Probably took me 15 minutes from c. 2.40. Smaller than others but that’s faint praise.

They’ve created a new turnstile in the East Stand ‘42a’, made negligible difference. Just chaos.

Forgot he existed.

Curious about this too, but suspect we are in uncharted territory - IF - what is being reported is true. Chelsea taking legal action against Adrian Mutu for the unamortised portion of his transfer fee is the only precedent I can think of.

Reported in the Italian press that as many as fifty players and officials are implicated. So this would appear to be the tip of the iceberg. Zalewski latest to be named.

Take this with a pinch of salt, friend - who is not a Newcastle supporter (although equally wouldn’t know there was any injury doubt etc so in it’s own way adds credence) - reckons he just saw him at the Nuffield in Jesmond.

East Stand again, second game in a row - they just started waving people through without scanning the ticket. I don’t know what it’s like elsewhere, but on that side of the ground evident the infrastructure in terms of the number of turnstiles cannot support it.

Literally turned off a couple of turnstiles in the East Stand at c. 7.45. Queues were simply not clearing. Just waved people in.

Joelinton is a huge boost.

There for “an initial lifespan of three years as the club explores potential uses for the site”. So would appear any expansion would be a minimum of c. four years away?

Didn’t see any trouble last night, but the aftermath of this stabbing is doing rounds on WhatsApp. Not pretty.

What was the smoke / chemical like fumes in the second half about? Half expected to see a major incident outside SJP.

I genuinely thought we had retired him.
