Good luck to the lads on the field but it's an utterly guileless starting 11, Howe is sleepwalking here. #nufc

I still think Howe is cooked in the long-run, but they could recapture some good will with a couple of things. Change the coaching setup ASAP (Trippier as bonus coach would appeal to me). Second, get Gordon sold by the end of the season. It would show intent and get some fans back on side. #nufc

Now NUFC is back in the groove of being shite, top of the league is completely irrelevant. But if any player deserves to choke a huge title lead it's Gabriel, a real throwback cheat. Should have been sent off at SJP or conceded a blatant pen; should have walked today #nufc

Just not another humiliation lads, please. #nufc

May seem outlandish in the era of conspiracy theories, but maybe in future the club can make sure players are vaccinated against fucking mumps? What a ridiculous industry, could cost the club millions. #nufc

That "well regulated militia" will be along soon, any day now, just give them a second, as long as there's nothing good on TV.

Hope it was worth it Sando. Genuinely pathetic. Once they lost their one world class player it was on the cards. #nufc

Maybe Elanga can play himself into form in the World war cup. That disgraceful Sweden team qualifying shows how devalued the competition has become. #nufc

i’ve seen this play out too many times to immediately assume it’s true. On so many occasions, a (very) poor NUFC result is followed by some doom-mongering story, as today. It could be true, and if they sell him to Stretford, it would be a surrender, but i suspect it’s a play for a contract. #nufc

THAT GOAL #BDB #NUFC

Everyone quite rightly will remember Dan Burn's colossal header. But for me this will always be Joelinton's day. I can't remember a foreign-born player which such passion for the club, he was incredible that beautiful day. #nufc

Always mint to beat LinkedIn FC, excellent professional performance. Gordon superb, willock crucial. #nufc

only silver lining was that all the massive wankas had left SJP miles before the end. Don’t come back, you horrible, entitled bellends. #nufc

Still enjoying the memory of the same bloke in front, who always leaves early, walking out at 86 mins and pleading it was the only bus left out of Newcastle. That goal hit like crack, as soon as he came inside it was never in doubt. #nufc

We have gone from worrying that Wissa would go to AFCoN, to realising he's the Doumbia we actually bought, and praying for Neave up front. Been a weirdly deflating season, especially at a quiet and meek SJP. #nufc

the SJP atmosphere has been desperately poor for years now, but yesterday was an utter pisstake. Large numbers of fans: - clapping the opposition goal - not even bothering to celebrate the 3rd goal, stand up or anything Some people just need to give themselves permission to stop going. #nufc

This is the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen. #nufc

After Palace's keeper stayed on in the final, this Villa goal obviously offside, the FA cup is becoming the cup where nothing really matters. #nufc

Poor Jamaal. Surely can't have just been his fault. #nufc

Spurs absolutely ruined by injuries, but still a great performance in the circumstances. Passing in midfield for the first time in ages, something Tonali hasn't done all season. Trippier and Burn rode their luck but they played for Howe tonight - good signs. Atrocious home fans deserved that. #nufc

This team selection, a bit like the last game, is when a manager has run out of ideas or trust in his players. Just have to hope some of these lot play for Howe and give it a crack. #nufc

Even the admin has given up. #nufc

Northumbrian / Brasilian lad keeps banging in the goals. Keep him away from Tonali's agent. #nufc

Yet again, more proof that this idea of a "well regulated militia" allowing people to rise up against a government, is the most pathetic lie. The sheer indifference to human life is staggering.

The now lacklustre SJP atmosphere has many explanations, but this utter nonsense has to be right up there. #NUFC

So many crazy aspects to that game yesterday, but I always focus in on tiny aspects. Enjoyed seeing the excellent Ampadu on the losing side, after he spent 20% of the game taking throw ins, grabbing the ball after the pen, and hacking down Murphy like Solksjaer on Bobby Lee. Nice karma slice. #nufc

Almost 2 years to the day since this. If that was his last action as a footballer at NUFC, he'll be remembered a long time. Brilliant footballer. #nufc

Lewis Miley is Duncan Edwards pass it on. #nufc

Barnes' first ever goal at the Leazes was worth waiting for. I've seen maybe 5 games like that my entire life, it was pure distilled Keegan and to the players who wanted to be on that pitch, thank you. #nufc

Nobody could have predicted this.

Over the town moor, the explanation for Joelinton's brilliant performance. #nufc

Big Joe, Hall, Miley played alreet and deserved that. Some proper passengers though, especially Tonali. Hopefully a big 3 points. #nufc

Whatever the reasons, the reality is that this is a poor Newcastle team now. Not just out of form, just genuinely a poor side. #nufc

Times must be hard for this epic bellend. #nufc

Given how we have played this season that's a canny point. Get pope fit as soon as possible, because this Rambo run cannot continue. Miley will push Joe out the side soon enough. #nufc

Losing one nil and seeing our fans singing along to sweet Caroline. Horrific. #nufc

The NHS should look into the power of listening to eScousers whining on about Salah. It's a hell of a drug. Apparently agents are to blame, must be the first time. #nufc

Watching that awful player Broja yesterday made me remember what a scam certain clubs have on selling players. Nunez has already failed in Saudi. Neither player should have gone for more than 5m. #nufc

watching Ramsdale in goal has aged me years in a few weeks. No confidence in him whatsoever, but a decent win all in all. Should have been 2-2 with the last header. #nufc

Looks like good news re AFCON, unless my eyes are fully knackered. #nufc

It was worth keeping Gordon just for this. #nufc

CL is a weird competition now, so many tomato can teams and feels inessential for ages. Enjoyed last night especially for the parabolic header, the crap TV going on the blink, and the PA going full "are you being served" for his ridiculous Brewno-oh. Also Selton sanchez looked mint #nufc

Benfica fans at full time. Pre-retirement Mourinho going through the motions. #nufc

I hope the club makes up for the massive oversight of no minute silence for Willie McFaul. He gave 26 years to the club, he was well-liked. It was a good day for the team but the club let us all down. #nufc

That ground has all the intensity of Gateshead leisure centre football after a massive dinner. #nufc

In fairness to the police, frail pensioners with disabilities are far easier to arrest

Canny day overall.

Every goal a total banger, Lloyd Kelly scoring, Thuram brothers both scoring. Absolutely insane. youtu.be/P6DxaqFWPtU?...

This auld fella, toasting the first win of the season in Leazes park. Class. #nufc
