I honestly don’t know what to say and that’s saying a lot since I love to talk. I never expected any of this, I just love
@NUFC
and the beautiful city of Newcastle. I’m grateful for our crest, that passion it gives, and to the Toon Army, the best fans in the land!
#NUFC
One of my best friends is Ukrainian, we lived together in international dorms at Newcastle Uni. Today he shipped his wife and mother out west while he and his father chose to stay back and fight for their country. I stand with my brother and Ukraine.
I honestly do not even know where to begin on just how special today was for me. I’ve always said that if I can’t be in the Toon, I’ll bring as much of the Toon as I can here. To meet
@alanshearer
in LA was a dream come true and I have no words to express just how special it was
Last Xmas, I got the worst news of my entire life. It’s been a hard year and I’ve battled negativity while going through my grief process since I got the call about Mom. This Xmas, I’m back where I belong with my best mates & I can’t stop smiling. Keep going, stay positive.
#NUFC
4-1!!!! What a win! I am so incredibly grateful that I got to be here for it! I love you Newcastle! We are absolutely massive!!!

Right, I’ve sat on this long enough but I just can’t anymore. I’m too excited to share that I’ll be recreating this photo next month before we take on Man City because after years of being away, I’m finally heading home! Roll on December. Toon Army, I’m coming for you!
#NUFC
American lad in a Man U top laughed in my face for supporting
#NUFC
Sat night. My reply: “Laugh all you want, If we get relegated, I’ll still have this top on and if Man U ever did, you’d be wearing a Chelsea kit next season. That’s the diff.” He didn’t like that very much. 🤷♂️
3 points to the fucking Toon!!! I bet town will be absolutely raging! Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army! I’ll drink to that!
#NUFC

#MyPLMorning
Right, I wanna turn a negative into a positive! I have 2 tickets to the match tonight, I would like to give these out to someone desperate to go. If you don’t have the coin, no worries, just wanna pass on some Matchday joy. Toon Army help me out!
@NUFC
#NUFC
Made it to the airport. Last pint or two before we go. When the lowest point of your trip is a 1-1 draw against PSG. Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army. We are massive! What an epic week in the Toon.
#NUFC
Some Arsenal fan asked our bar manager why he had the
#NUFC
match on the main TV just as the
@SanDiegoMags
started rolling in. He pointed at us and said “that’s why mate”. Can’t express that satisfaction after years of watching matches alone or begging bars to turn it on. HWTL!
The boy on the left tried to kill himself multiple times, he ate his feelings and hated himself all because he couldn’t understand his trauma and didn’t know how to deal with his pain.
The man on the right tries to live life to the fullest, smiles frequently, respects his…
I’m back just to say this. This split coverage of the Man Utd protest is a massive disrespect to
#NUFC
on 2 fronts. 1) We’re forced to have it on during our match. 2) None of our own protests have had this much coverage and we’ve been screaming about our shit owner for years!
Was it the result I wanted? Obviously not. We deserved a pen and it was frustrating for sure but no matter what, I’m back in the Toon and I got to see our beautiful stadium with no Sports Direct signs in sight. Couldn’t be happier about that. HWTL!

I’d call my parents once a week when I was living out in Newcastle. I’d tell them how hard I’d fallen for the city and NUFC. It was always basketball for mom and I but one day I called and she started talking to me about the last match, asking questions about footy and the club
I had to lay low about it till I worked out some stuff with my job but I changed my flight and I’ll be at the cup match on Saturday! I had to get another match in and man, I can’t wait!!!
#NUFC
Finally framed the signed shirt that
@alanshearer
gave me. Put in some photos to honor mom and remember the event. Pleased with how it came out. Still so massively grateful that
@PLinUSA
&
@NUFC
did that for me. One of the best positives to come from one of the worst times.
#NUFC
Grateful that I got to wrap up a very hard year in the most beautiful city in the world. I’ll cherish every moment and memory made. Until next time Newcastle, I love you and definitely won’t leave it so long ever again.
I was recently told I can’t support England during the upcoming Euros seeing as I’m American so I’m currently shopping for more England tops to support England during the Euros. My love for Newcastle and English football surpasses the likes of opinions from Pulisic band wagoners.
I know I go on about getting back to St. James Park but can we take a minute to appreciate my crew in
@SanDiegoMags
? I spent years out here watching matches alone, begging bar staff for a TV on a Matchday and sipping pints by myself in the back. Now we here!
#NUFC
Bottom of the table in December, 11th place on the final day! It’s been an epic season and the future is bright for
@NUFC
! I’ll drink to that! HWTL!!!

#MyPLMorning
Bullied all of high school, attempted suicide twice cuz others words weighed so heavily on me. Began believing all that cruelty & hating myself. To all the kids being bullied, letting others define them, keep going, I know it hurts, but keep going, keep being you.
#stopbullying
Breakfast beers hit different when you’re at the airport waiting to head to the greatest city on earth! Toon bound! Grateful asf! Happy Thanksgiving Toon Army!
#NUFC
#MyPLMorning
Ran from Gateshead to Newcastle and back this morning. Did a loop around St. James Park, ran through the campus of my old Uni and crossed four bridges before heading back. It was sunny, snowy and absolutely beautiful!
Mom started watching
@NUFC
years ago to have something to talk to me about when I’d visit. Has stage 4 brain cancer now, gets confused a lot, can’t remember her own sisters. I turn on the match to a close up of Steve Bruce, she goes, “omg, he’s still there?” Have to laugh.
#NUFC
Today was absolutely class! Never in my life did I think we’d get something like this in the states! The fan engagement our club has done for the
#PLSummerSeries
and our American supporters so far has been a cut above the rest! So grateful for today!
#NUFC
Before I moved to San Diego, I was a lonely Geordie with no one to watch matches with in LA. Then I took a long trip to Toronto. These lads took me in, and we shared pints and banter while we suffered under Steve Bruce together. I then moved to San Diego and they encouraged me to…
Steve Bruce giving a halftime talk to a frustrated Cristiano Ronaldo whose been playing alone up front for 45 minutes is the Christmas wish I want to see come true.
#BruceIn
#NUFC
Finally back in the states after a whirlwind of a weekend in London. My first final at Wembley and just the start of what’s to come for our beloved
@NUFC
! One of the best weekends of my life! I’m always proud to support Newcastle but I carry even more pride after all this!
#NUFC
Just caffeinating before I get to all my replies and messages. Proper hanging today because after all the amazing moments this past weekend, I also ran my first marathon yesterday morning! HWTL!
#NUFC
#rocknrollmarathon
People say footy is just a game, how could it be just a game? At the loneliest time of my life, it gave me family, at the worst time of my life, it gave me support and every weekend, no matter how the week has gone, it gives me an escape. Football is more than a game.
#NUFC
Being so new to San Diego, I can’t properly express how stoked I am to have tracked down some Magpies to suffer and celebrate with. We have the best fans in the land!
#NUFC
@NUFC
@PLinUSA
#MyPLmorning
And I’m crying allover again. Thanks for being an absolute legend, this touching tribute to my mom and an unforgettable weekend! I’ll never forget a second of it!

@NUFC
How did Jamal Lewis go from £15m signing and one of the most promising fullbacks in England to not even cracking Newcastle's Premier League squad in the span of 1.5 years?
As I reflect on the events of today, I’m overcome with so much emotion. I’m so grateful that
#NUFC
chose me and in a lot of ways, saved me. There’s passion and then there’s football passion. HWTL!

@alanshearer
Didn’t expect to find this beaut so quickly but here it is. I believe it’s the 97/99 training shirt. Black on black with the Brown Ale in the middle. Even though it’s a training shirt, it is definitely one of my favorites. I’ve not seen many of these, it’s in fantastic condition…
Sat in the office with tears down my cheek. Not a care in the world. We are going to Wembley! Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army are in the final! Oh Newcastle, I love you so!!!!!!!!!!
#NUFC
#CarabaoCup
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow American Toon Army supporters! I’m so thankful for our club
@NUFC
, the newly restored hope we now have thanks to the takeover, I’m especially grateful for our supporters and to be among the best fans in the land! HWTL!
#NUFC
#HappyThanksgiving
I won’t lie, yesterday hurt. The match was utterly embarrassing. I always stay positive though. I’m glad I got to see Trippiers debut, the crowd was absolutely fantastic as always and I spent the night off my phone, drinking with my mates in the greatest city in the world!
#NUFC
Back to back wins! 3 goals against Everton! We had a go till the end! I’d say that was a successful visit to Dr. Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army!!!!! Get in!! HWTL!
#NUFC

#MyPLMorning
It’s time to go back to SD after a whirlwind of a week on the east coast supporting the Toon. I’m filled with so much pride for our club, our fans and the upcoming season. We showed everyone just how massive and passionate our fanbase is this week. I’m so grateful to have met so…
2 years off hard drugs, 2 years since my last black out, 2 years without 4 am cash withdrawals and 2 years without morning apologies. To anyone struggling, all that matters is the day in front of you, keep going, every day is easier and every day you’re stronger! It’s worth it!
Spent an evening after work hanging up my prized shirt from
@alanshearer
and creating this little shrine dedicated to the most important woman in my life and the club that I love more than anything. Love how it all came together. Toon till I die.
#NUFC
Wow! I wish I had more tickets to give out but a little boys Christmas wish has been made and the
@nufcfoodbank
has made some extra coin! I’ll take that for turning a negative into a positive, now let’s get 3 points tonight
@NUFC
! HWTL!
#NUFC
Right, I wanna turn a negative into a positive! I have 2 tickets to the match tonight, I would like to give these out to someone desperate to go. If you don’t have the coin, no worries, just wanna pass on some Matchday joy. Toon Army help me out!
@NUFC
#NUFC
And just like that, my mom’s gone. 3 months after the diagnosis, 3 months of juggling work and driving 4 hours a week to care for the woman that gave me everything. 3 months to accept what today brought me. Could’ve been 3 years and it still wouldn’t have been enough.
Just sat here in the office trying not to cry as I reflect on where we were in December and where we’re at now. So happy for our club, our fans and the city of Newcastle! Deserve it all!
#NUFC
Remember when they said Tonali didn’t wanna be here? That he didn’t smile. That he was gonna struggle? That he needed time? Actions speak louder than words. What a day!!!!
#NUFC
3-3 against the league champions! Can’t be unhappy about that! VAR worked the way it should, Miggy got his redemption, Maxi gave one of his best performances and Pope kept us in it. Eddie Howe’s black and white army! I’ll drink to that!!!!!!
#NUFC
#NEWMCI
#MyPLMorning
We played absolutely fantastic. Man U deserved nothing there. Frustrating as fuck. Wish I could’ve been there but glad that boy that got my ticket got a proper match! Joelinton is MOTM and we’re Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army, I’ll drink to that!
#NUFC
#NEWMUN
#MyPLMorning
Just wrapped up our latest episode, having a little stroll through the neighborhood, still absolutely buzzing off the result yesterday. What a weekend. HWTL!
#NUFC
3-0 against Man U in the Carabao Cup run. Why lie, eliminating them tastes far better than this pint. Super happy Willock got a goal and both Krafth and Ritchie got minutes. Stoked for Hall’s first goal as well!
Livramento gets my MOTM. Eddie Howe's black and white mags are…
I told everyone that this generation of players from Europe have no idea what it’s like to play against us in St. James Park. Never worried for a second! Oh my god Newcastle! I love you so fucking much!!!!
#NUFC
Back at the Bluefoot for Sheffield away. Breakfast beers are a go! Now let’s wash down this Guinness with 3 points! Come on Newcastle!!
#NUFC
#SHUNEW

4 AM rise to watch us embarrass the Mackems for a second time this week. Had to postpone my victory pint until I got this long run in with my mates. What a fantastic Saturday! I love you Newcastle!
