The way that journalists, pundits, rival fans and others go on, you would think Newcastle United were a failing club. That NUFC were a sitting duck (ED: Definition – ‘A person or thing with no protection against an attack or other source of danger’). Newcastle United simply waiting, ‘with no protection’, for rivals to come in and easily take away United’s best players. The reality of course is just a ‘little’ different.

I am writing this about Newcastle United in the early hours of Sunday 22 June 2025. I thought I might as well make use of the fact that I can’t sleep. No, it isn’t excitement about the new season now being less than eight weeks away now that is keeping me awake, not this time anyway. Instead it is this extreme (for us Geordies on Tyneside!) heat that is so oppressive and keeping me from my sleep.

These headlines based on absolutely nothing. Simply journalists/whoever making stuff up and countless other journalists/media repeating the baseless claims. Back then it was mainly Arsenal featuring in the shameless headlines, with Liverpool as well to a degree.

Don’t go to bed, set your alarm clocks, no matter what you do, just don’t miss the kick-off of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup!Yes, it’s the big one, Sunday morning 1am (UK time), it is Al Ahly v Inter Miami. I can hardly wait…I still can’t believe this total farce is going ahead. As in, the whole 32 team 2025 FIFA Club World Cup tournament, not just Al Ahly v Inter Miami. As per the official FIFA site, this is how the 32 teams ‘qualified’ for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup….

We now know all Premier League clubs for the 2025/26 season. The play-off final saw that list of 20 completed. Sunderland defeating Sheffield United at Wembley. So the Mackems come up along with Burnley and Leeds. Meanwhile, Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester go down.
