Again today. 1-0 in first half. 0-2 in second half. 5 shots in the first, 2 in the second. 4 shots conceded / 7 shots conceded. Won the xG in the first half. Got smashed in it in the second. Same problems. #nufc

Premier League first halves/second halves #nufc: Goals scored - 20 / 24 Goals conceded - 16 / 30 Shots - 180 / 229 Shots against - 169 / 201 xG - 23.57 / 28.57 xG conceded - 15.99 / 30.92

Absolutely games gone that the kick off is 5.45 this evening. Fine for Qarabag, but not for Barca. #nufc

As much as I admire Eddie’s approach in the cups, it’s probably going to be his downfall. We’d have been better served by binning off both domestic cups. #nufc

Dan Burn’s switches of play were a thing of beauty last night. Must have done it half a dozen times and a couple with his weaker foot. #nufc

The Woltemade debate is bizarre. Aye, he’s not a midfielder. Doubt anyone believes he is, but he’s doing a job for the team while Miley/Bruno are out. He won’t be starting games there when they’re back. Nearly got a lovely assist tonight. He’s doing okay in a role that doesn’t suit him. #nufc

This 4-2-3-1 isn’t looking half bad. Liked it against Bournemouth, Villa and now against Qarabag. #nufc

The not winning without Bruno stat is a lot less concerning when you look how many of those games Tonali played in. He’s the one we’ll want to fill the gap and Saturday showed he can, at least for a short period. #nufc

I don’t watch as much European football as I used to, but impressed by Alisson Santos for Napoli tonight. Changed the game from the bench and hadn’t heard of him before. Seems they took him from Sporting’s bench in January. Good recruitment.

Bruno injury is a blow, but ‘the don’t win without him’ narrative isn’t as bad when you look into context. Won some cup games without him against good teams. He’s only not played in four league games over the last three seasons, all tricky games. We’ll be worse, but we’ll still win games. #nufc

Excited to watch the Premier League equivalent of watching two drunks fight over a kebab tonight. #nufc

This game has gone as badly as it could have gone. It is becoming difficult to defend this lot and have any hope of improvement. #nufc

Not sure I agree with the 'play the kids' and 'throw the game' views for tonight. Aye, we're probably going to lose whatever happens, but we may as well have a go. Good experience for trying to fight back in a two-legged tie as well. May need that in the CL. #nufc

If Arsenal or another club pays the asking price for Tonali this summer, we should snap their hands off. #nufc

In 2023/24 after 23 Premier League games played, we were 9th with 33 points. This season, we have produced exactly the same points and sit in the same position. Weird symmetry in two Champions League seasons. PL form suffered both times. #nufc

Wasn’t a 2-0 game. We had chances, but our final ball wasn’t good enough. Villa delivered a very good away performance. Managed the game well. Deserved to win. This season is just going to be one of those frustrating ones. #nufc

People will talk down PSV and they weren’t great tonight, but this is only the second time they’ve failed to score this season. I was most impressed by the control we had tonight. #nufc

Yoane Wissa looks like a bloke who didn’t have a pre season and Nick Woltemade looks like someone adapting to the physical demands of the league. Tough game, but we move. #nufc

Played okay tonight. Not great. Not bad, but okay was never going to be enough to beat City. They had another gear and didn’t even need it. #nufc

The FA cup third round weekend is my favourite of the calendar. This one has delivered so far. Shocks, goals, penalty shootouts and drama. #NUFC did their job too, eventually…

Strange couple of games for us in the way they played out. We were out-shot and out-duelled in both first halves against Palace and Leeds. Then, we were completely dominant in both metrics after the break. Usually we are quick starters at home. #nufc

No point being negative after a win. It’s going to help improve the confidence of the lads. That’s our biggest issue right now. #nufc

The mood is shifting on Howe. The minority grows each week. I’m not there, but people have lost their job for less. #nufc

The darts is providing the pre Christmas entertainment. Three class games already today, with the one that looked best on paper still to come.

I’m not Howe out, but I don’t see a world where he starts next season as our manager. Just gone stale and feels like we’re at the start of a long goodbye. #nufc

Groundhog Day ending last night, but there were positive signs. We’re competing and dominating periods of games away from home. Looked more likely to score a third than they looked to get an equaliser. Just need to sort out the game management. #nufc

I’m compromised with Ramsdale, too bias against him. Defence wasn’t good enough last night, but attack wasn’t great either. If it was functioning, we’d have been too far ahead for Spurs to equalise. We didn’t create a big chance all game. Not good enough. #nufc

We created five big chances yesterday. Best attacking performance away in a long time. For context, we’ve created four big chances across our other six PL away games this season. #nufc

Looking at some data for the season and the biggest alarm bell I’ve found is Jacob Murphy has taken 26 shots. The next most is Bruno and Gordon with 14. We won’t go anywhere quick if this trend continues. #nufc

Tino/Hall getting spoken about a lot and for good reason. As much as they do offer more in the final third, the thing we miss most is their ability to carry the ball 5-10 yards in our first phase of play. We’re so stodgy in the first phase without them. #nufc

Not Howe out by a long shot, but I do find it interesting the divisions in opinion. Some think he has enough credit to be given a lot more time, while others want him gone now. How long does that credit buy him? It’s impossible to know the right answer. #nufc

Joelinton discourse from opposition fans is funny to me. Is the bloke a tactical foul master? Yes. Does he walk a fine line sometimes? Yes. Is he dangerous? Never. Can’t recall him ever injuring someone or going studs up. #nufc

I think tonight is the night Will Osula becomes a hero. I’ll take no questions at this time. #nufc

Interested to see the line up tomorrow night. Feels like a good opportunity for us to get a big result at home over a rival, even if it is a cup game. #nufc

Sadly, there’s never been anything as guaranteed as Forest beating us on Sunday in a game that’ll go down as the only win for Ange before getting sacked at the end of October. #nufc

Lots of result/confirmation bias after that one. My read on the game was that it was an even one. Both teams carried out their game plans, and the one that got the first goal won. Think that would have been true if we’d got it. Both teams very good at managing a lead. #nufc

Just saw two Magpies together while on the dog walk, so by the law of Magpies, we will see a Newcastle win today. Don’t worry, I saluted. #nufc

Best thing about this app is Kev’s transfer threads. Another great and unbiased analysis of a new signing. #nufc

Recovered to a 7/10 window for me. Never looked like being a 10/10 window, but looked like a potential 1 or 2 at some points. Club did well to recover. Hopefully lessons learned, both about managing your current players and the agents/transfer journalists too. Looked amateur at times. #nufc

If Isak/Osula/Wissa all get confirmed, I'd call the window 6/10. Raised the floor of the squad, but lost key players too. Isak the quality, while Wilson/Longstaff/Dubravka all good influences to lose. Hopefully we have left something back for January. Fresh impetus then can be important. #nufc

Get ready for the Will Osula PR. Doubt we sign another striker. #nufc

Last season, we played terrible at the start of the season and got more points than we deserved. This year, it’s the opposite so far. Points are king, but it’s probably a better base to build on. #nufc

Wissa and Isak. The Instagram divas. Coming to a stadium near you soon. #nufc

Great thread as ever from Kev. The more I hear/read about Ramsey, the more excited I am about the move. Hopefully this isn’t Kev’s final thread of the summer. #nufc

Why Newcastle have moved for Jacob Ramsey ⚫⚪ 🧩 Where will he fit in? ⚽️ Style of play 📊 Stat breakdown 📉 Weaknesses 🤔 Will he be a good signing? ✍️ Full article from @jakejackman.bsky.social ⬇️ www.nufcblog.co.uk/2025/08/14/w... #NUFC #AVFC

This weekend, the match gets decided by Villa’s left vs our right. If Tripps/Schar get support and play well, we will win. If they get left isolated against Maatsen/Malen/Rogers/Watkins, we lose. It’s that simple for me. #nufc

I struggle to really get the argument Liverpool fans are making about Isak. We are trying to let him go, but surely they understand we can't do that unless we sign some strikers. We're not moaning about Brentford keeping hold of Wissa, as they'd be silly to let him go without a new striker. #nufc

A must read for any #nufc fan. Probably worth reading for any fan to be honest. Kev doing what Kev does.

One reason to be very positive about our season ahead is our wide options. Last season, the four of them combined for 61 goal contributions. I wouldn’t back against them getting a similar haul this campaign. Elanga/Gordon both have room for his growth in their production. #nufc

Malick Thiaw a great signing. Fans won’t even notice his biggest weakness, which is that he can be slow on the turn due to his size. Mainly because Schar and Burn are even slower… #nufc
