It's not ideal when there is genuine competition between last week at West Ham or this Brentford match as to which #nufc display was worse

Anyone else scratching their head at that? So many things went our way in the first 15 minutes and yet we proceeded to follow that up with such a half-arsed performance #nufc

Given sprint races can often be anticlimactic, the #USGP one certainly delivered. Some truly chaotic driving in that one. Same again tomorrow?

Clearly Forest felt the conversation on Ange Postecoglu was over if they were going to sack him before everyone had even left the City Ground. Safe to say Marinakis has definitely got a lot wrong in the last 6 months and will now have to figure a way out of the hole he's dug for himself

What is it about Brighton away that routinely goes wrong for us? #nufc

I know it's easy to talk about the enshittification of these things but it felt like it was easier to watch concerts in YouTube in the past and it now insists on frequent ads mid-song. Chill ffs

To think some in the Italian media seem to be manifesting a situation where Tonali might go back to a Serie A club for less than what Newcastle paid Milan to sign him. As if #nufc

Those ticket prices for the FIFA World Cup in America next year - woof. Cheapest ticket at $100+ but only a tiny quantity at the top of the stadium, dynamic pricing and where the ticket process seems subject to all manner of crypto things to make people pay more. It wasn't this bad before was it?

From next season, the September and October international breaks are going to be consolidated into one large break. Don't know if that'll be better due to the momentum issue from having two so soon or that it'll drag given international qualifiers in UEFA just don't hit the same

I can't be the only one who, when they first heard of the new entry exit thing at EU airports or ports, thought the idea was you register before traveling, not when you get there. Surely that would be easier, no?

Urgh what a thoroughly annoying afternoon that turned out to be #nufc

Anyone else notice setlist.fm seems to run slowly on mobile when loading up the individual setlists now for seemingly no reason?

If nothing else, the defence looks good. Clearly our attacking patterns when playing 5-4-1 need some work #nufc

I know every F1 driver has their bad days but Oscar Piastri yesterday might well have had the worst of his career in F1. Just chalk it up as one of those times it doesn't go your way and move on to Singapore huh #AzerbaijanGP

Fair play to Carlos Sainz and Williams for sticking the landing and getting their #AzerbaijanGP podium

I'd wanted to go see Gorillaz but a starting ticket price from ยฃ90? Woof

Fingers crossed Wissa's injury isn't so serious and we get to see him before too long #nufc

Was there really a need for McLaren to tie themselves up in knots in the final stages of the #ItalianGP in the way they did?

Think we've seen two very different sides of Arvid Lindblad in his attempts to get a Racing Bulls seat for 2026, given he did a decent performance in the sprint race to get a podium and an absolute 0/10 disaster in the feature race that could've hurt his chances of that seat by itself #ItalianGP

A study by METR expecting to prove how much faster coding can be done with AI tools found that the developers actually did their work nearly 20% slower with AI than without. Which - hilarious. Not exactly disproving the idea of an AI bubble huh

Does this mean we can focus on actual football matches now rather than constant deliberations over transfers? #nufc

Anyone else get a kick out of knowing we're hosting Barcelona in 3 weeks? And indeed already daydreaming of the idea somebody might be a hero against Barcelona in the opening match of a Champions League group stage like Asprilla in '97? #nufc

Anyone else have no idea what we'll be saying this time tomorrow about the final act of the transfer window and who #nufc will have in attack as competition for Woltemade?

Least transfer deadline day tomorrow is 7pm. Still constantly refreshing for signings 2 hours after the 11pm on a work-night gets exhausting fast

I don't know if Norris' breakdown will decide the championship in the way Hamilton in Malaysia decided the 2016 race, but he now needs more than one Piastri DNF and outside of a sudden mechanical fault, it's hard to see where that comes from #DutchGP

Less said about Ferrari's day at the #DutchGP the better huh

Feel like we always forget how much faff Uefa bring to the Champions League draw until they hold one. I look forward to finding out who we're playing in 4 hours time #nufc

Feels like this week is the moment the comments went from "Keep Isak" to "Get rid of Isak" among a lot of fans... what exactly is a good end to this mess now anyway? #nufc

Guess the question now is can we get a striker in ASAP. Even if the glacial pace this question has been moving at means it feels unlikely one will be ready to be thrown in for Leeds on Saturday #nufc
