amount of Barcelona fans in the home end was frustrating considering how many #NUFC fans unable to get tkts

If you had any Barca fans near you email supporter.services@nufc.co.uk and copy in board@nufctrust.co.uk. Give as much detail as possible - seat numbers etc.

A lot of great performances last night but I’m going to highlight the excellence of Kieran Trippier who is the best right back I’ve seen turn out for us in the 50+ years I’ve been going to see #NUFC play - by a distance.

There were 4 yellow card decisions in the first half - only Tonali was booked. The other 3 were committed by Barca players.

There are others but if you watched the game you’d know.

Proud of every #NUFC player tonight - we were excellent. We have to beat referees and some of the blatant favouritism to Barcelona tonight was incredible. Disgusting decision making quite frankly - corruption? I don’t know but it would explain it as the decisions made no football sense at all.

#NUFC has been active 1/5 of the last xfer windows and went into last summer with no DoF or CEO - club has made no moves to develop a new training ground or stadium. Nothing on multi club ownership either. PIF are barely engaged with the club.

I’m not sure Pep and Co would beat a trail to SJP tbh

Not as far as I’m concerned - we’re a terribly run club and Howe has kept us going over the last 2-3 years.
