That was a tad disappointing, to say the least.

If the Russians ever wanted to invade, they wouldn't need conventional weapons. They could just wait until the first cold snap of winter when the country has been rendered imobile by a light dusting of snow and march straight in.

I'm not sure who is advising on Labour policy, but if they seriously believe aping Reform is going to attract Reform voters, I have some magic beans to sell them.

Howe still has plenty of credit in the bank and no true supporter is calling for his head but serious questions need to be asked about his in game management. Some of his decisions are bizarre, to say the least.

It's difficult to find words to describe just how appallingly bad that performance actually was.
Massive improvement needed on Wednesday.

Takeaway from tonight's game, Bruno was magnificent, Jacob Murphy can still and will put it on a plate. Anthony Gordon loves playing in the Champions League, Barnes is a class finisher and the money we paid for big Nick looks like small change. No wonder Bayern got so salty about missing out.

Can anybody explain to me why kids in Cramlington have suddenly started referring to each other as bro, using terrible fake American accents?

I haven't felt like that, leaving a game for ages. Proper hoof in the Toon halls.

All I can say is, at least we didn't get beat. Team selection and performance aside, that ground has been something of a graveyard for us over the years, so I'll look at it as a positive.
