Northumbrian, retired from a lifetime in Engineering. Now loves walking, birdwatching, history, science and being outdoors. Love The Toon, hates The Tories and Farage!
I don't know what's wrong but it's fair to say that we really haven't played well almost all season so far.
Perhaps with all the games we have they don't have enough time to train or try new systems. It's same old, same old, rinse and repeat. #NUFC

Back in 1996 Alex Ferguson made Man U ditch their grey away shirts at half time in a match they were losing 3 - 0 to Southampton saying the players could not see each other due to the grey shirts making them blend into the crowd.
Ditch the green shirts lads maybe they blend into the grass! #NUFC

Those penalties were generally pathetic by both sides. At least Bronze did an Alan Shearer and just belted it! Need to get him to give the girls a few tips.

Thought Minteh was great for Brighton today, but of a bugger we had to sell him, when he had so much potential and he never got a chance in the first team.
Can we buy him back please? We need another right winger.

Our substitutes are just not up to it are they? Every time we make 3 or 4 subs we lose all focus and we become second best!
Normally we would concede too.

Fabian Schar, couldn't do that again if he tried!
Should have been one of the greatest goals of all time!

We've only gone and bloody done it Rodders!
What a day. Last domestic trophy since the year I was born! Can't believe it, feels like a big weight off the shoulders.
Onwards and upwards!

Now that I've had time to think about it, I'm still bloody mad at that first goal we let in!

Opportunity missed today to get a better goal difference which may be important come the end of this season. It's very close.

Never in all my 59 years as a Toon supporter have I felt so disappointed after winning a game. That second half was appalling. Play like that v Liverpool and it will be a massacre!

Great, Wembley ticket secured!
Interesting that the 3 of us in our group all logged on to buy tickets prior to the 12.00 queue and all at different times. 11.20, 11.30 &11.35. When the queue starts you go thru randomly. The 11.30 only had 10 mins wait, while the rest were over an hour.

Please let's keep Dubravka a bit longer....
His kicking is far superior to Pope and he's doing a grand job as a stand in.
Sort it out Toon!

Well I've been very critical of Jacob Murphy but he's got a hell of a shot on him, could do with hitting the target more often, but hey he's on fire at the moment.
Well done Jacob, please continue...

Hall was absolutely first class today, Tonali brilliant, Gordon never stopped and Murphy could easily had another.
Dubravka hardly had anything to do.
That's more like it! Roll on Wednesday.

Shooting birds isn’t a “sport”, it is a coward’s pastime and has no place in a modern society
