West Ham! And what a beautiful day it is in London, where the streets are paved with pigeon shit.
Will #NUFC finally notch up an away win in the Premier League? That’s what I’m here to find out.

Hahahahahahahaha. You are hilarious. Framed as the heroic saviour - ”Newcastle have got through it.” I love our chats.

Hi pal. NUFC don’t brief. I speak to people and ask questions. Where is the waxing lyrical? This is the only mention of AH. Saying he was given a hospital pass? Mitchell left them in the lurch. He didn’t ask for or want the job. Neither is saying he has re-sculpted team. They’ve made 6 signings.

This time was heightened for me for lots of reasons - breaking down on national television afterwards was not what I had in mind - but I’ve never been prouder. Of us, of our home, of our incredible run, of our spirit. So many tears …
We are the Great North Run.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored Bobby’s Team in this year’s #GreatNorthRun & to the countless thousands who cheered us & every runner along our way.
Running for @sbrfoundation.bsky.social is a privilege. The day itself is the best & most beautiful & most emotional of the year.

So tempted to FLOOD the timeline with this, but won’t. I wrote some words for the Great North Run & they’re on this year’s medal & shirt!
If you want to hear my monotone voice reading them, head to insta. www.instagram.com/great_run/re...
Here they are in Fenwick window (with me & my hero)!
