Nick Pope suffering from the Callum Wilson effect where everyone decides he’s shite after a couple of costly injuries. Next couple of months will be interesting #NUFC

Next week is a massive game - keeps us in the picture at the top and can make the difference between an off day and a horrible run like the one that crashed the last league cup final #NUFC

I’m not booking no pub for the cup final by the way. Ticketed entrance is just slang for “won’t get served”. What I’d like is to know where in London has a late licence where #NUFC fans will gather should the unimaginable transpire. Anyone??

The cup scheme being the be-all and end-all for #NUFC distributing final tickets is a disaster for members and not needed to sell out the earlier rounds. Too much copying of other clubs with completely different stories. www.themag.co.uk/2025/02/why-...

So assumption is that @newcastleunited.com have failed to add postage into that badly added up itemised bill. Like any #NUFC fan of course I’m gripped by instant fear this discrepancy could cause a problem with my tickets going through. No-one said success would cause this anxiety.

I have 160+ away points, I’m in the carabao cup scheme attended all the home games and Arsenal away and I’m still nervous for the announcement that #NUFC are dragging out on how it’s gonna work.

Between this, the pyro and the BBC commentary begging them to win I’m halfway to hoping the Blues franchise gets uprooted to Portland Oregon, where their WWE meets NFL style of play may be more appreciated

Looking at today’s game, I can’t see a line up that doesn’t include one of Schar/Burn or Bruno/Tonali. Shows we’re a bit light atm. To be fair I’d prioritise progressing in the FA Cup ahead of the Etihad next week

Time for a confession, I deliberately avoided buying the new away kit in the hope we got Spurs in the cup final and an embroidered special edition came out. Likely home kits all round with this tie

Could do with Liverpool getting some utter bastards in the Champions League the week before the cup final. Atletico Madrid would be ideal

I keep singing the theme tune to Pretty Little Liars which is embarrassing and probably a sign of mental discomfort ahead of tonight’s #NUFC match. It’s one of those that ends in elation or crushing devastation, there’s no in between

Just seen the outcome of the investigation into the fracas v Villa on Boxing Day. Tindall denied any wrongdoing and they couldn’t prove it so got off Scot free, the other bloke gets a stadium ban and Villa a bigger fine. Go on Mad Dog! #NUFC

@worflags.org.uk is there time to get this on a flag for Wednesday?

Wrote this about how #NUFC have a clear path to the Champions League and how good things are happening for us in current Euro campaigns. Warning contains some spreadsheets

Just looking, #NUFC could benefit massively from European games: City v NUFC 14/02 in between 2 legs v Real/Bayern 2nd leg of last 16 in week preceding EFL Cup final 🤞🏻 NUFC v MUFC in between 2 legs of Europa League QF AVFC v NUFC weekend after QF 2nd leg NUFC V CFC w/end after 2nd leg of conf semi

The thing here is that Almiron was the standout ambitious signing when Rafa was finally allowed to bring him to #NUFC in 2019. Now the squad have moved a level above him he’s moving on, a sign of progress. Wish nowt but the best to a player who gave his all in the bad times and the good.

Watching #MOTD2 and I think Thomas Hitzelsperger and Shay Given are both a bit nice for dissecting the current Spurs situation. Crying out for the intense gravity of a Martin Keown or Danny Murphy to really get stuck into them.

I hope this doesn’t come out wrong, but I feel like being manager of Arsenal holds additional responsibility as they seem to have an excess of extreme fans all over the world who go on ridiculous every time things don’t go their way. Having Arteta stirring them up leads to stuff like this
