Bambi on steroids wins it for the Toon. What a goal, brilliant. Great team performance throughout especially when down to ten men. Hopefully this will give us a big confidence boost to go on from here. Nufc.com

Why am I worried about tonight's game against Manure? 1. One of them will dive in the box and win a penalty. 2. They will score a goal in added on time to nick a win. Not my favourite opposition! #NUFC

I don't like Pickford but his save from Tonali was first class. #NUFC

Toon v City again! Will we at least have VAR helping us this time? #NUFC

Great performance by the lads tonight. It was also great that the crowd continued to chant for Elanga when he came on and it certainly helped, his confidence was sky high. This is what we want from him. #NUFC

We still need a centre forward, a right winger and a goalkeeper. And probably a centre half. We've gone backwards since last season. #NUFC

What's going wrong with our defence? We can't keep a lead and seem to go to pieces at the end of the game. And as for penalties, just take a long run up and blast it, give the keeper no chance. #NUFC

I don't know what's wrong but it's fair to say that we really haven't played well almost all season so far. Perhaps with all the games we have they don't have enough time to train or try new systems. It's same old, same old, rinse and repeat. #NUFC

Back in 1996 Alex Ferguson made Man U ditch their grey away shirts at half time in a match they were losing 3 - 0 to Southampton saying the players could not see each other due to the grey shirts making them blend into the crowd. Ditch the green shirts lads maybe they blend into the grass! #NUFC

That goal by Bruno mind was something else! #NUFC

Those penalties were generally pathetic by both sides. At least Bronze did an Alan Shearer and just belted it! Need to get him to give the girls a few tips.

Thought Minteh was great for Brighton today, but of a bugger we had to sell him, when he had so much potential and he never got a chance in the first team. Can we buy him back please? We need another right winger.

Our substitutes are just not up to it are they? Every time we make 3 or 4 subs we lose all focus and we become second best! Normally we would concede too.

Fabian Schar, couldn't do that again if he tried! Should have been one of the greatest goals of all time!

We've only gone and bloody done it Rodders! What a day. Last domestic trophy since the year I was born! Can't believe it, feels like a big weight off the shoulders. Onwards and upwards!

Howay!

Now that I've had time to think about it, I'm still bloody mad at that first goal we let in!

Opportunity missed today to get a better goal difference which may be important come the end of this season. It's very close.

Never in all my 59 years as a Toon supporter have I felt so disappointed after winning a game. That second half was appalling. Play like that v Liverpool and it will be a massacre!

Great, Wembley ticket secured! Interesting that the 3 of us in our group all logged on to buy tickets prior to the 12.00 queue and all at different times. 11.20, 11.30 &11.35. When the queue starts you go thru randomly. The 11.30 only had 10 mins wait, while the rest were over an hour.

@852dude.bsky.social I haven't had any NUFC feed all day, "NotEnoughResorces" it says. Any idea how to fix please.

I know Issac scored two tonight but Tonali man, he's everywhere. What a player!

Please let's keep Dubravka a bit longer.... His kicking is far superior to Pope and he's doing a grand job as a stand in. Sort it out Toon!

Favourite Morecambe and Wise sketch....There ain't nothing like a dame! 😀

Well I've been very critical of Jacob Murphy but he's got a hell of a shot on him, could do with hitting the target more often, but hey he's on fire at the moment. Well done Jacob, please continue...

Hall was absolutely first class today, Tonali brilliant, Gordon never stopped and Murphy could easily had another. Dubravka hardly had anything to do. That's more like it! Roll on Wednesday.

And what is wrong with our defence, shocking.

Well bringing Tonali and Gordon on as subs didn't work did it!

OK, it's time for a new keeper!

Dropping Tonali! What the hell!

Shooting birds isn’t a “sport”, it is a coward’s pastime and has no place in a modern society Repost and follow if you agree!

Well, deactivated X after playing with Bluesky for a bit. Feels great 😃

The reason I used X in the past was to find out the Toon team sheet as we sit in the pub pre-match and even then we'd just get a list of the players starting the match so we'd be guessing a bit with the team formation. I'm sure Bluesky will be better!

These are some of the best beers you will taste, all from the Hexhamshire brewery. hexhamshire.co.uk I have no affiliation with the brewery or The Dipton Mill in Hexhamshire but this is a great pub and brewery. Just bought some early Xmas pressies here😋

First NUFC game... V Nottingham Forest August 1965, just promoted to the first division, 2-2 and I was hooked, 10 years old! Bloke up the street took me and my brother on his motorcycle and sidecar, happy days!

For Janey.

No Tonali! What are you doing Eddie? 🤔

Tonali has to play central midfield in future he was excellent tonight. Bruno on the right and Willock on the left. Joelinton left wing, Gordon right wing, Issac in the middle. Simples!

That was an awful example of finishing by Newcastle today, so many chances and potential opportunities wasted. We could see it in the ground that Brighton was going to get that one chance and take it. Frustrating. Worrying that Bruno is not the same since he's been made captain.

Peeing down in Hexham today and almost all of the kids walking down from school are not wearing coats! Don't the schools provide cloakrooms anymore?
