European away, mackems away or a cup final would probably be my idea of a decent away game, but you are correct in the idea that unless loyalty points are already gained then it's nigh on impossible for any now!

It looks as if I may never be able to attend a decent away game ever again! 34 years as a ST holder and 64 loyalty points doesn't count for anything anymore. What's changed though? I managed a ticket to the last Sunderland away game and I've been to Dortmund and Kharkiv? Is it more corporates? #nufc

I haven't managed a ticket for Leverkusen, but my brother has managed one. However he paid ยฃ40, is this right? I'm sure the German clubs kept prices down? We paid about 16 euro for Dortmund. #nufc

Great result tonight. Atmosphere was awful in the North East corner with people seemingly ticking the box that they've been to the game followed by plenty of people leaving for their "buses" with around ten mins to go. The 12th man is slowly being eroded #nufc

With the departure of Peter Silverstone, I hope the club now recruit someone who has a better concept of understanding the fanbase. Yes we need commercial revenue but not at the expense of loyalty and ultimately the beating heart of the club...it's supporters. #nufc

Scores for me...Pope 5, Botman 6, Joelinton 4, Tonali 7, Gordon 6, Thiaw 7, Krafth 3, Murphy 6, Woltemade 6, Burn 4, Bruno 5, Schar 6, Osula 5, Elanga 5, Ramsey 5. #nufc

We can't have too many performances like that. With the way that media narrates managerial landscape, we need to see a much improved collective effort over next few weeks. Some players today need to look at themselves in terms of effort levels. First time I've said that in a fair few years. #nufc

You watch Bournemouth and that's how we used to play. Something isn't right at the minute. Fitness levels and amount of pressing is not looking good at the minute. #nufc

We looked half paced, tired, no pressing. Takes an age to take the ball up the pitch. Full backs have had a shocker, Bruno has had a shocker. Some really odd changes made. I hope we can scrape something out of this.

So by the looks of it, that smaller club have lost less games than Arne Slot's Liverpool so far this season? #nufc

The narrative that Steve Bruce put himself forward as a sacrificial lamb for the new regime and then recommended Eddie to take over. Well you have to question only one thing. Those drugs. Right medication? #nufc

Special night. From my first game in 1991 against Oldham to the dizzy heights of a 3-0 win against Benfica. Wow. #nufc

No I completely agree, a different football world altogether as well. The point I was trying to make was that no one in any industry can be expected to change things as a manager in 30 days. Patience doesn't exist any more.

Using the same logic applied to Postecoglu, Brian Clough would have been fired. Clough won only three out of his first seventeen at Forest. In any profession, who can make an impact after 30 odd days? Bizarre. #nffc #forest #clough #football

Rudi Voller-Woltemade pulling off a cheeky goal that @blood101.bsky.social used to produce in five a side. Nonchalent. #nufc

Tonali is not just Rolls Royce....he's a gold plated Rolls Royce. Some of the passing is exquisite. #nufc

Just think @premierleague - we could have saved the Gallowgate Pigeon by putting more sponsor boards up. That's another cost on the list. To save us suing you, why not just let us spend our ยฃ? #nufc #pigeonkillers

Got to be a better answer to protect clubs instead of PSR.

A) Get each club independently valued every 3 years.
B) Get each club to pay the value of their club into a bond system (initially in installments for first 3 years and +/- thereafter.
C) Then let them spend as the club is protected.

3 or 4 teams to worry about away from home.

Zero teams to worry about at St James Park.

Really sad to hear that Alan Shoulder has passed away. I was lucky enough to play in a charity game with him about 20 years ago and he was such a nice fella as well as being such a gifted footballer. #nufc

Quick list of #nufc players who (in my opinion) did a good job for us but perhaps don't get as recognised for their contribution as others (for varying reasons!)

Listening to Michael Owen on Sky Sports Premier League. For someone who was gifted with being one of the best footballers in the world, you appreciate he was also gifted with an ego bigger than the world. Head full of magic and so disrespectful to Newcastle United. #nufc
