Joey Barton (
@Joey7Barton
) has put his finger on an issue others are afraid to speak on.
I agree with him on female pundits & co comm. Presenting & interviewing is different.
The whole thing is indicative of a wider societal woke malaise that will not hear opposing opinion.
To play for
@NUFC
you must understand the football club, its history and its fans. It's about a city and the honour of its people. It's about passion!
You can have all the talent in the world but if you don't get that, you won't ever be a true
@NUFC
player.
30 years ago Kevin Keegan walked into
@NUFC
.
He told us, "We will survive. Then watch this club take off."
He made us believe it was possible. Then he showed us how to get there.
A great leader of men was Special K!
I’m from the South and loved playing for
@NUFC
and living in the area.
Some of the most lovely people and beautiful landscape. My dad’s family are Geordies!
Who's the better centre forward? Harry Kane or Alan Shearer.
It's Shearer every time. Goal machine. Target man. Goal maker. Inspirational leader. Had less protection than forwards today.
The ultimate No.9 in that sense.
Kane great. Shearer better.
55 years a son.
37 years a Christian.
33 years a husband.
29 years a father.
18 years a footballer.
11 years a pastor.
21 months a grandad.
Life on this earth is a breath. Blessed to have eternal life in Jesus Christ.
Massive game for
@NUFC
tomorrow. The players must:
1. Treat the remaining games like a mini season, forget what is behind them and play attacking football.
2. Remember whom they represent, the fans they play for and the shirt they wear.
That's enough motivation for anyone.
One of the best things the new ownership of
@NUFC
could do is get ex players like:
@alanshearer
,
@7RobLee
,
@warrenbarton2
,
@stevehowey624
back at the club from grassroots to match day - from coaching to ambassadorial work.
It needs a black and white heart beat in the place!
So saddened to hear of the death of my former
@ChelseaFC
teammate, Gianluca Vialli.
My condolences to all family, friends and fans.
He shone like a diamond as a footballer, but his true greatness came from his humility as a man.
CHELSEA REWIND: On this day in 1993, Chelsea signed Gavin Peacock from Newcastle United. ✍️
Gavin was vital to the team reaching the 1994 F.A Cup Final & was the first Chelsea player to score a Premier League hat trick. ⚽️⚽️⚽️
In 1981 my dad Keith, then manager of
@TheGillsFC
, signed 19 year old Tony Cascarino from non-league Crockenhill launching his career.
Gillingham gave Crockenhill a set of 12 tracksuits as a gesture of thanks.
My dad owns the last remaining one and he gave it to big Cas today.
Men & women are equal in value but physically different.
For women to give expert opinion on men’s football as pundits or co commentators is like advising on driving a Ferrari at 200mph when you’ve only driven a Morris Minor at 60mph.
That’s not sexist, just a physical fact.
On this day in 1992 I was driving over the Tyne Bridge, when I heard on the radio we had signed Kevin Keegan as our manager. The rest is
@NUFC
history!
The picture below is from the photo section in my upcoming book, ‘A Greater Glory’. (Released May 2021).
What's it like to grow up in a footballing family, play in an FA Cup final, captain Newcastle, Chelsea & QPR under Keegan, Hoddle, Gullit & Francis, work as a BBC Match of the Day pundit and leave it all for church ministry?
My book is released in May '21
Household order:
A husband is head of his wife and loves her sacrificially.
A wife reverences her husband and submits to him gladly.
Children obey both their parents, even as their father takes a lead in their instruction and discipline.
Result: harmony and fruitfulness.
My son, Jake Peacock, wins the North American Super Welterweight Muay Thai title!
Another knock out! TKO in the 5th!!

As a pundit or co commentator you are giving expert analysis, insight & opinion.
This is different to presenting, commentating or reporting.
The pundit/co commentator should've played the game at that level, speed, power & aggression.
It's about authenticity & believability.
I will be giving away three personally signed copies of my upcoming autobiography - A Greater Glory (on general release May 7). Pre-order on Amazon now.
Retweet to enter the draw.
I will announce the winners on March 31.
3 generations of Peacock men at
@CAFCofficial
! My son Jake, my grandson Charlie & my dad- great grandad Keith!
My dad took me on this pitch when I was Charlie’s age & I did the same w/Jake.
Can’t wait to join them later this week to make 4 generations of Valley boys!
So saddened to hear of the death of Stan Bowles.
A true
@QPR
legend and entertainer. A special footballer! And a humble guy who always took time for a chat in my playing days there.
They don’t make ‘em like Stan anymore.
My condolences to all family, friends and fans.
Foundational and vital truths that will increasingly take courage to affirm in 2023:
1. Fixed binary sexes. Male and female.
2. Marriage between one man and one woman alone.
3. Male headship in the home.
Boys and men are consistently being told that masculinity is toxic and every man is a potential abuser.
True masculinity is not toxic. In fact, it is the remedy for much of the toxicity we see today.
The UK is becoming increasingly Christophobic!
Every other phobia is called out.
What about blatant anti- Christian rhetoric and insults?
What about the thousands of vulnerable Christians who are offended and hurt?
They did very well but England need to be a bit more adventurous going forward if they want to win a major tournament.
A little more attacking risk-taking out of the basis of good defence is the winning blend.
Very sad to hear of the death of my former
@BBCSport
colleague & friend John Motson.
He was personally so kind with his advice & encouragement.
Motty was simply a brilliant commentator & a national treasure, whose voice brought football into the homes and hearts of so many.
Good to see
@John2606Terry
on Twitter.
Just a schoolboy when I was playing for
@ChelseaFC
. Then he went on to become the greatest captain in the club’s history.
Men should dress like men.
Women should dress like women.
Both should dress up more than dress down and wear what fits the occasion more than just what feels comfortable.
Good attire distinguishes the sexes in their natural design. It also displays wisdom and manners.
Once
@ElliotLee9
makes his debut for
@CAFCofficial
he and his dad
@7RobLee
will equal my dad, Keith, and me - who are currently the only father and son to have ever played for the club.
“My father told me that it was better to learn to master the ball barefoot but what really happened was that he did not have money to give me a pair of shoes.
When I won my first Ballon d'Or, I didn't cry with joy, I cried because I didn't have my father" RONALDINHO
