Read the room, Nick!

Just about to tackle number 5 now. It’s numbed the senses a little.

I don’t see a motivated squad of players. Howe has to be the one to motivate from the top.

Please heal me

I read the first line as you rating Pope as a 10 and figured it was sarcasm. Either way it’s a shocking performance.

3 great wins across 3 different competitions inside 8 days. That Brentford game is really starting to look like a major turning/low point in our season. Excited to see if we can maintain this positive period. #nufc

Shearer did the same thing against Sheffield Wednesday back in 1999. Paul Robinson won us a 2nd penalty and wanted to take it himself. Shearer stepped in to take it and scored his 5th of the game.

Doesn’t sound great when you put it that way but the overall goal should be to put as much emphasis back on the referees original decision and leave it up to the opposition to challenge something they don’t agree with.

How would it differ from the current game? VAR decisions stop the game from resuming when the ball goes into touch. Only difference would be VAR not intervening and only being used when a captain asks to review a decision.

😂😂😂

Yeah too sensible for football now that I think about it.

There’s plenty taken from rugby too. The transparency when the ref is mic’d up but more importantly the respect all players show to the referee. No crowding the ref and no back-chat. Accept the decision and get on with the game.

Absolutely. The quality of umpiring has improved since its introduction. It sides with the original decision in the instances of close calls and brings about a nice bit of suspense when a decision is then reviewed.

I don’t understand why they don’t use VAR in the same way they use DRS in cricket. If a player feels the ref has made an incorrect decision then they can challenge it. 2 appeals/reviews per team per half. #NUFC #VAR

Incredibly frustrating to hear journalists ask Eddie Howe the same question over and over again. His response to the first transfer window applied to every other question after it. #NUFC

He was great last night. The best we’ve seen him in years.

Trying to block out that miserable game #nufc

He is terrible!

Can’t imagine many people bought a shirt with his name on the back.

Brian Kerr. 9 appearances so not very well known even for the #nufc nerds

Another very obscure newcastle player but it’s not right

A great shout and a name I’ve not heard in a long long time but it’s not right.

So close. It’s his brother Sammy.

Let’s see how many #NUFC fans can name this player? Took me way longer than I would have liked.

I feel like that might have been his last game for us which will be incredibly sad

I’ve just had mine underpinned. Really pleased to have to spend thousands and thousands just so we can move out.

Deleting as many Guinness as possible in hope that I’ll feel better. #NUFC

Bruno cannot play against Paqueta. Happens every time.

He still knows I’m his starting position is confirmed because Barnes is barely knocking on the door.

Walked into this game expecting an easy win. No energy and no fight.
