Hopkinson saying ST price increase is to ensure we remain financially competitive. Rough maths tell me it’s no more than £2 million. All while we have no training kit sponsor…. #nufc

Thought the midfield play was superb last night. Great interplay with the ball, especially with 11, helped by a lack of aggression and press from the other team. Square pegs and square holes. #nufc

Eddie Howes black and white army! #nufc

Moyes sat on a lead with West Ham at the gallowgate end a couple of years ago and it didn’t work. He did the same yesterday and it shouldn’t have worked again… #nufc

Yet another golden opportunity missed. Finding different ways to concede isn’t a promising quality we’ve got. Can’t we just play cup games? #nufc

The man that made it all happen. Here’s to more champions league nights! #nufc

The big Nick dilemma. We’ve seen recently how better we play as a team with a quick, athletic striker. That means Nick has to play as a 10, but I can’t see a 2 man midfield working with Bruno and he has to play. Also can’t see Nick working as an 8 long term. #nufc

Must be about the best we’ve ever performed in that ground. Was nice that some more locals turned out this time. #nufc

#NUFC U21 goalkeeper, scores from over 70 yards

Plenty of players need a rest on Tuesday (Tripps, Barnes to name two), however in defence I just don’t see who plays. We can’t go fill reserve team as that does risk the tie far too much. Can’t see Howe starting shahar but who plays at centre half is anyone’s guess! Sandro? #nufc

A different sport today and not often you see this ground full! Does this mean York are the best team in the world!? #worldclubchallenge

Did we last draw lower league teams two rounds running in a cup back I. 2019/20? (Rochdale, West Brom and Oxford) #nufc we had Man City home round 6 that year too!

The Digne non penalty decision is as bad as you’ll ever see. Unless you were at Wigan in 2013, nothing will top that one. #nufc

Sob on the holte. Whilst we hate it from time to time, that’s why we need VAR. #nufc

#nufc have proven they can’t win games without Bruno and I’m not sure I trust them to.

Possibly controversial but, especially away from home, have our best performances been with Gordon as a striker? Gives him far more freedom. #nufc

@footballramble.bsky.social question for Pete. Tonali had a run of games for #nufc with Bruno injured and NUFC didn’t win. Bruno back for two games and we win. Does he want to change his opinion?

That’s victory for coaching, management and courage to pick the right tactics. Bruno going to be a huge miss #nufc

I’m often the first to criticise the treatment of head injuries in football so massive credit to the #mcfc physios for holding strong and well done Pep for listening and making the sub even though the player appears to be saying he’s okay.

Might have to write the league off this season. The summer, poor recruitment and no time on the training pitch have all had a negative impact. #nufc

Tonali’s agent already touting him about. Can see this summer coming already… That’s before we talk about Gordon, Tino and whoever else has European suitors #nufc

I’m still in shock at just how low that attendance was last night. I’ve heard and seen all the reasons but can’t shake the feeling there’s not another team in the country that wouldn’t sell out for a semi final. They didn’t even come close. #nufc

One massive difference last night is they had 7 players starting who have been there 1 year or less. We went for it and should have been ahead after 20 mins. All three of their goals come direct from a tackle or deflection. No luck last night, just as we didn’t in the fa cup a few years back. #nufc

Another cup semi final. Make your own judgements regarding the home support. #nufc

Stood up as a junior member of the dressing room. Captained us to promotion. Led the team in the premier league. Captained the team in the champions league and lifted a trophy for us. Don’t ever underestimate the importance of Jamaal Lascelles to modern #nufc

You can’t be questioning the manager for one iffy season after 3.5 excellent ones. Hes had his best player leave and zero time on the training pitch. Another semi final and first time #nufc have ever been to champions league knockouts.

Can’t be anything offer than immensely proud of the lads there. #nufc Looks like Qarabag or Monaco then.

That was like playing #nufc from three years ago. Probably the best coached team in the league.

Context very important with that win. That’s a superb away team we’ve just completely stifled. #nufc

Difficult when only one team wants to try and score. We would all have taken 10 points from the last four. Tough run coming up #nufc

Bit good them Manc lot. Don’t give us much hope now but you never now. Always complained you can’t get away tickets? Now might be your chance! #nufc

Really worry we could be running out of steam. Thiaw 26 starts in a row. Both centre half’s played 2 hours Saturday including one just back from injury. Barnes, Tonali and big Nick also playing the full two hours. Rotation needed but just not possible for some. #nufc

Anyone recall a recent successful cup run that started with a penalty shootout win? #nufc Omen

I suppose that, by the time you’ve got yourselves to penalties you might as well win the thing. Friendly draw in round four please. #nufc

Would be completely understanding if Eddie played the kids tomorrow but knowing him can see the 11 being something along the lines of Ramsdale, Trippier, Botman, Thiaw, Livramento, Bruno, Willock, Ramsey, Barnes, Murphy, Wissa #nufc

A win befitting King Kev. What a team #nufc

Told you!! #nufc

That Miley masterclass passed me by. 59/59 passes. The highest 100% completion of any player all season! Oh and a clean sheet! #nufc

The winner of the inaugural fifa peace prize dropping bombs on another nation and taking their president hostage. Sounds about right.

Seems like those who need a scapegoat have found a new one in AG. He’s actually been one of the better performers in recent games as well. #nufc

35th, final and probably worst game of 2025! #gtfc

I’d start Willock and Barnes on Tuesday. Both linked up well off the bench. Also question makes over weather Pope should come back in. #nufc

Won’t ever get a better chance to beat that lot. Win the next three and we’re still all good though. #nufc

New: The handling of Emi Martinez's head knock has been criticised by brain injury charity Headway. #AVFC GK stayed on after long assessment, with him & teammates appearing to try to sway medics. Headway reiterates call for temporary concussion subs. www.nytimes.com/athletic/690...

Once again Football, at Villa park, is light years behind in protection of players with head injuries. Clear knee to the temple of Martinez and the physios look unsure of what to do.

Merry Christmas #nufc You made my supporting dreams come true this year.

#nufc were interesting tactically last night. First half looked to be a 5-4-1 in defence but in attack a 3-2-4-1 with Tino the left sided ‘10’. Second half more 4-2-3-1 with Willock the ‘10’

I suppose scoring that late makes it really hard to concede a late equaliser #nufc

@footballramble.bsky.social lads, as a regular #nufc home and away match goer have to inform you that Pete’s take on Bruno G is absolute garbage. He is dragging that team through matches this season almost single handedly. Not won a single game without him since he signed.

#nufc now one injury or suspension away from Jacob Murphy at right back or who knows who at centre half.
