It’ll be a cocktail of everything, incredibly poor league campaign.

I wasn’t just referring to their energy levels
Catastrophic result. Should’ve been picking up 4-6 points the last 2 games, not 0. Both games we took the lead.
Season seems done, the players are spent, mentally we’re completely shot.
So furious at how bad our trajectory is right now. It’s unacceptable & so exhausting. #NUFC
Wasn’t talking about one decision.
*Newcastle 1-1 Barca*
How often are we going to get fucked by biased refs dazzled by the badges of elite clubs? Zero integrity.
Robbed of a famous win tonight after a class performance. By far the better team, Barca struggled with our pace, intensity & physicality - they deserved nothing. 🖤🤍 #NUFC
Encouraging 1st half, but we crumbled after the equaliser.
Man City made the 2nd half look far too easy, and scoring so soon after HT killed the tie.
We had an eye on Barca, but City bringing on Cherki, Foden and Semenyo off the bench showed the gulf in quality and depth. #NUFC
That’s definitely Gordon’s haircut in the middle
Yes! The perfect tableaux of a fiery encounter.
An absolutely stunning performance in the face of adversity, once again.
We showed fight, character and resilience to see off inform Man Utd and an abysmal referee.
Joelinton a beast, huge Ramsdale saves and whole team fed off the noise and injustice.
What a finish from Osula, what a win! #NUFC
Just not good enough all over the park. Too careless with the ball and too predictable when trying build attacks.
They were the better team on the day, but we were still beaten by a very average team.
No excuses for not winning today after a dead rubber in midweek.
Disastrous performance, deserved nothing.
Cheap opener bad enough, but conceding straight after both equalisers unforgivable.
Sloppy with ball, poor decisions in final third. Infuriating how much worse league form is vs cup. Everton, referee and Newcastle all shite today. #NUFC
Not our smoothest performance but did what we had to without overexerting.
If tie wasn’t over at HT in Baku, it definitely was tonight at 2-0 after 6 mins.
We had the luxury of rotation, pleased to see younger fringe players get minutes. More intensity needed for Everton. #NUFC
Clunky Slow Medina.

If there are going to be errors regardless, I’d rather the world where we can lose ourselves and celebrate in the moment like we used to. It’s irreversibly damaged the game.
I hate VAR. It’s ruined the sport, I’d get rid in a heartbeat.
I also don’t believe the unacceptably low levels of officiating seen in Villa v Newcastle should be a reason to retain VAR.
We should all expect better basic refereeing as a bare minimum, stakes are too high. #NUFC
Big win in the face of huge adversity. Tonali’s 2nd: satisfying and venemous. Buzzing for Big Nick too, deserved his goal.
Make no mistake, we can count Chris Kavanagh & team as part of our opposition today. Dreadful calls on multiple decisions. Hang your heads in shame. Pure incompetence. #NUFC
That was also me suggesting that terrible officiating should be countered with direct scrutiny, interview those involved and get them to explain baffling decisions like we’ve seen in that 1st half.
Appreciate that man, thanks
*Newcastle 2-3 Brentford*
Another tough result as the rot continues. Our inability to score keeps costing us and team looks mentally exhausted.
Brentford efficient with their chances and weathered 2nd half storm as we pushed for win. League campaign looking very stale, home and away. #NUFC

Disagree. Ref had big influence on how Villa were able to control game and slow it down, enabling their game plan.
I criticised Newcastle in the first part of the post too, but ignore what you want. Two things can be true at once.
A tough defeat in the rain, but I didn’t like the tone we set 1st half. We gave Villa so much space, time and encouragement.
They deserved the win, but hugely benefited from the abysmal and spineless Jarred Gillett. He’s just not good enough.
Better 2nd half, Miley and Botman our best. #NUFC
A class performance and win under the lights to book our place in the Knockouts.
We looked hungry, fluid and committed to the game-plan. Great opening for Wissa, Hall and Joelinton impressed, as did Elanga.
We reminded ourselves just how dominant and clinical we can be. #NUFC
Felt like a game too far after the 4-3 and penalty shootout. Thought we battled, but fatigue was evident, particularly in 2nd half.
Beaten by a better team and we had chances to hurt them, but lacked conviction. Big ask to overturn 2-0 in 2nd leg. #NUFC
Another bonkers game at St James’ Park!
And just like Wednesday, we weren’t at our best, conceded 3, saw a Barnes brace and crucially never gave up.
Progression in the FA Cup lower priority atm, but so important to keep winning streak going ahead of a big League Cup Semi-Final.
🖤🤍#NUFC
A crazy, infuriating and euphoric game of football.
Plenty of chances, mistakes and goals, but a desire to fight to the end and win.
Abysmal showing by the officials, but a huge win that puts us 6th.
3 Premier League points the perfect birthday present for my dad too! #NUFC
A functional and frozen win against an underwhelming Palace.
We dominated both halves, but showed more clinical finishing in 2nd. Big performances from Miley, Big Joe & Thiaw.
Two goals from corners by Bruno and Thiaw saw the game off. Only 2 points off 5th now. 🖤🤍 #NUFC
A feisty 2-2 draw after one of the best 1st half displays of 25/26.
We created plenty of chances but once again failed to see off opponents from a winning position.
Felt 11 v 12 in the 2nd half - bizarre officiating, plenty of penalty shouts turned away. Pleased for Big Nick’s brace. #NUFC
