He's Isak-ly what Toon really need

SHIRTY: Anti-Isak top with free matches offer

- by ANDY DUNN

APPARENTLY, Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben and representatives from the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund - the majority shareholders - popped round to Alexander Isak’s place for a cuppa and a chat ahead of the game at a lively St James’ Park.

Reintegration, it seems, was up for discussion.

And it is possible, of course, but it will take a fair amount of contrition from the striker if he wants to be revered again in these parts.

This is a fanbase that prides itself on its unity, as was noisily demonstrated throughout a febrile night.

However wronged he feels, Isak (inset) has disrespected that unity.
