I didn't get anything about Pope but did get a picture of Pickford mocked up like a Cabinet appointment with "FTM" in the message. Luckily someone else identified he was arsehole drunk and told him to stop drinking and have a lie down before I could call him a sad cunt.

Paul Mitchell said: "It's with immense pride that I accept the responsibility of being Newcastle United's new sporting director. "I've seen the recent growth and ambition of the club. This, plus the amazing fan base, made the decision to join an easy one. "I can’t wait to get started and help continue the organisation's growth and long-term competitiveness in all areas of elite football performance." It's a small/daft thing - and someone else more than likely wrote the quote for him to sign off - but I always love it when sports people (or people in general actually) use words like responsibility rather than opportunity in things like this. I remember when Harrington won his second Open on the bounce he spoke about "taking responsibility to win," always stuck with me. Makes this guy come across as a serious bloke who is going to take us where we want to go, rather than "try" to do it.

No, level 7 was more or less totally empty, was about 10 Fiorentina supporters up there one day from memory, and think the upper gallowgate was fairly sparse too, think we had 36k or so both days.

It's showing in my ticketing account, I'm a member of the Business Club so every game it assigns a hospitality ticket by default - think it's essentially a reservation in case I want to buy one but I'll be sticking to general for this I reckon, didn't manage to get a home game in the corner last season so a friendly will have to do!

Girona on the Friday night

Club has just tweeted the letters coming down (have lost the embed tweet explainer)

Nothing actually on sale yet but hospitality sales page is currently showing Friday night 1930 and Saturday afternoon 1600 KO's for the Sela Cup - or "The Sela Weekender" as they're calling it. Presumably that will change unless they're doing a different format this year

Paperback's a right weirdo, I've been blocked and unblocked a good half dozen times since Twitter became a thing, can't even remember ever interacting with the fucker. Used to do the odd bit of football writing so maybe I slated him then or something

Like the PL they've only confirmed the first week's TV games so presumably they're going to be moved to Friday night or Sunday 1230

I nearly asked if it was a stronghold or newly fallen but thought that was a bit too RTG

Maldini Zidane Iniesta Bergkamp Messi R9 Ballack

All the Nissan overtime & late shift requests going in for midweek games so they can avoid going to theirs so they're at home to watch us instead

Anyone on RTG claimed they've hunted him down and given him a good hiding yet?

And then relegating the scouse mackems the weekend after

Croatia 3-1 Albania Germany 4-0 Hungary Scotland 0-2 Switzerland Slovenia 1-2 Serbia Denmark 0-3 England Spain 1-1 Italy Slovakia 2-2 Ukraine Poland 0-2 Austria Netherlands 0-2 France Georgia 1-2 Czechia Turkey 0-3 Portugal Belgium 3-1 Romania

Just waiting for Steve Bruce to get back from the cricket and they'll get it sorted

Rushed as soon as he came on 💪🏻

Opening: Palace (H) Boxing Day: Man City (A) Last: Fulham (A)

Didn't notice the automatic renewal option when buying but it's set to auto renew by default when you buy if you're they type who prefers not to have that sort of thing switched on. Another dangerously sensible feature and change! (The auto renewal option, not the defaulting it without telling you!)
