I actually feel sorry for Gordon. He's so bang out of form he looks like he's never seen a football before. Does Howe not have the balls to drop him to protect him if nowt else?

And it's the same players. Gordon, Joelinton and Bruno (once, granted) giving it away so far. Who'd have thought that out of form players would still be out of form a few days later 🙄 #NUFC

On another note, I've just seen that there is an 8pm KO which I don't agree with; I don't think it's fair on away fans on a Saturday night. But the away team is Liverpool, so fuck them.

I think the best word for that half is profligate. So many sloppy passes, and let's be honest, it is a surprise that Fulham haven't capitalised on one of them. Not quite a riot act half time, but a few of them need a rocket up them. #NUFC

Annnnnd we're back to normal 🙄

Murphy doesn't fluff a 1 on 1. Is this an alternate universe?! 😂 Gettin! #NUFC

It also pains me to say it, but such is football these days, that result is also brilliant for PSR (as was the game vs USG). You get a stupid amount for a win. Long may it continue!

Not sure if it's been announced yet, but I'll be staggered if AG doesn't get MoM. We need to see more of that prime player we know he can be. And tonight, he was immense.

Let's say it how it is. That is a wonderful goal.

I'm honestly not sure what to expect tonight; mainly as I know little about the opposition. Anyone know much about them other than the likes of Otamendi? And are we strong enough to see them off without Tonali? (Right call not to risk him imo) #NUFC

Catch 22 for me this evening. I wanted a Norn Iron win this evening but I also wanted wor Nick to score... (For context, I was born in Ashington, grew up in Morpeth but spent most of my life growing up in NI to a Norn Irish mother). Hopefully that gives Woltemade all the confidence in the world.

Vodafone network cattled across the country. I am NOT looking forward to the pre-scooler booting off when he gets back from nursery and finds that he can't watch Paw Patrol 🫠 #PrayForStu

Not a fan of the stuttered run up but that was a finish. You don't save those. Mind, we should be out of sight by now!

Did Bruno just do a sit-down wank celebration?! 😂😂

Eddie Howe's nils each Magpies 🙄 By far the better team - this has a smash and grab written all over it #NUFC

That'll do. If I were to nitpick, some of the passing in the last 10 mins was sloppy but overall, a job done against a potential banana skin. An unchanged team, aside from Hall in at LB for Sunday please! #NUFC

I'm sure that most of us of a certain vintage remember a match in Belgium 30 odd years ago... Is Anthony going to emulate Rob, and #NUFC the score? That would be nice!

That's as harsh as the one given against us vs PSG. Stupid European rules.

I absolutely stand corrected. What a flick from Woltemade!

Woltemade's hold up and link up play is a joy to watch. He and Wissa on the same pitch is going to be electric. #NUFC

Not the prettiest goal but Jebus, we'll take it

Bringing on Osula and taking Woltemade and Gordon off was feckin stupid as well. Eddie got this one totally wrong. A half fit Woltemade is better than a fully fit Osula. End of the day, we've thrown that away and if we're supposed to be "challengers"; these mistakes should not be made.

Ye knaa what? Got the pool bar to myself, got an Arsenal hating barman, and all the pop I can throw a stick at. It would be nice if I could understand the Bulgarian commentary but I'll not split hairs 😂 #NUFC

Am I twatted on all inclusive Bulgarian booze, or is Eddie starting Burn at LB?! I mean, I'm all for favouritism at CB but this is some calculated shit - unless Thiaw is RB and Tino LB. Let's hope so as I don't fancy BDB against Eze and Saka... #NUFC

I know it's not quite Costa del Newbiggin but it'll do for the last Saturday in September I suppose ☀️

Too old / tired / responsible for a pre-schooler for a pint, but here's the obligatory photo nonetheless

It's obvious after 5 mins that this formation isn't going to work

Metallica is an excellent choice of tunnel music from Bournemouth. Hope that's the only win they have today.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I just don't care. Had Woltemade started, with Gordon on the wing, we would have been 2 nil up. Probably. Nowt you can do about their 2nd but we shouldn't have been in that position. And Thiaw has been much better than Schär - hopefully Eddie learns from this

Grrrr. Pissed and deleted my post by mistake.

We should be at least 2 up. I know how this ends 🙄

If Woltemade isn't "Eddie fit" then I get that, even if it worries me - AG is just not a striker. My main concern though is Trippier getting roasted. Should have had Tino over there and Hall looking after Raphina on our left. Elanga is going to have to use his pace for defending #NUFC

I'm in the office until 4pm today, but it's acceptable to start drinking now right? RIGHT?! Bloody nerves.

When he's not outsmarting Harry and Marv he's banging them in... Jokes aside, I saw this as the #NUFC banker...maybe not...

The only good feature of Twitter was getting balloons on a certain day... 🫡

I think we can call that a 'professional' performance but make no mistake, we'll get taken apart by Barça if we play like this on Thurs #NUFC

I'd like to see what Elanga can do on the left cos Barnes ain't it #NUFC

Not a fan of this rugby "into the 22 for a line out" kick off...

NIIIICK!

Oh Jacob 🙄

It's my birthday weekend and only one thing can ruin it (well, two things if the missus decides to sleep in huffy bed later if I annoy her 😁). Howay #NUFC, just do me a solid for once, please and thank you 🙏

So glad thats over with. What are we going to talk about for the next 2 weeks? Anyone got any exciting plans? 😂 #NUFC

It doesn't look as though #NUFC will be getting the extra CM so... As it seems fashionable for teams to blood their teenagers, I make the case for Sam Alabi being fast tracked into the 1st team picture.

Osula to Frankfurt for that amount is very good business, it can't be denied. I do feel we're a bit light now - Jay Stansfield might be a good shout as our young cover. Still praying for Frattesi as well 🤞 #NUFC

Well that escalated quickly... #NUFC

Marcos Leonardo, Davide Frattesi and Andrey Santos would be a reasonably achievable outcome if reports are to be believed. Doubt we get any, but this is what I'm praying for until 7pm #NUFC

With 24 odd hours to go, I'm actually ok (though I am still raging at his conduct) with the thought of Isak staying as long as he's does the much-needed apologies, binning his twat agent etc etc, and shows his commitment on the pitch. Will it happen? Who knows, but him and NW together..? 🤤 #NUFC

I'm sure we're all thinking it but that's 2hrs we'll never get back. Not sure what Eddie was thinking with that frankly baffling formation.- it works against the likes of Arsenal but not a team that will have 10 men behind the ball. We lost the MF battle as a result. We need 3 new signings IMO #NUFC

Ultimately this inability to break down a low block is the same issue we had last year. It doesn't help that, the CBs and Tino aside, the players have been so poor. Further, I can't see how Osula will make the grade and my opinion is still out on Miley. #NUFC

This formation isn't working. Bruno dropping far too deep to get the ball, no outlet. Only we could make Longstaff look like prime Xavi. #NUFC
