Great article Michael puts things into perspective. Great to hear you’re on the mend and getting back in the groove.. Won’t /can’t be there today as I called it a day during the death throes of Pardew. Decided I’d had enough of funding Ashley and made the tough decision to end my season ticket. Do I regret it? Of course I do but I don’t begrudge the lads and lasses who kept the faith their days out and it’s great to see plenty young uns gannin too. Now let’s get this fucking monkey off our back and actually show up

HWTL 🖤🤍🖤🤍🏁

Lying here in bed in a hotel room on Russell square I'm feeling just a little queasy after reading this following yesterday's excess's. Wake up call perhaps 🤔 . I'll start a new healthy lifestyle if we win this fuckin cup !

That's some story Mick. Been somewhere like it myself. Whatever, there's life after the Freeman. There must be after Wembley!

It’s reading articles like this that make me realise I love our fans as much as I love the team. So pleased you’re well enough to go to Wembley this time, Mick. Enjoy it, but don’t get too excited… as if!!! 🤦‍♂️😂

Just read this, two days after Wembley. Typical wit and understatement from Mick, even in the face of what must have been very traumatic events.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend, and hope (trust!) Sunday was the perfect tonic.

Read this post cup victory. Delighted for the Geordie nation and that you got to the better cup final, Mick.

Look after yourself.
